'''''Super Mario Bros. 3''''' is a ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' game for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] and its Japanese counterpart, [[Family Computer]]. It is a 2D side-scrolling entry of the [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' series]] and one of the best-selling games on both platforms. Its predecessor is ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', a ''Mario''-themed conversion of ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'', though in [[Japan]], a different game of the [[Super Mario Bros. 2 (Family Computer Disk System)|same title]] is the previous game instead.

As a widely successful game, a lot of tie-in products based on ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' were made. In North America, there was a [[Happy Meal]] promotion in 1990 with toys specifically based on the game. The largest tie-in product is the television show ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', produced by [[DiC Entertainment]] in the year 1990.

The game is less linear than ''Super Mario Bros.'' On the world map, Mario or Luigi can choose which direction to go, and a [[level]] in some cases. Levels are accessed from numbered tiles on the map, and Mario or Luigi have to complete the level before they can progress beyond it. In some cases, if there is a forking path, Mario or Luigi can decide to skip a level entirely. The map also provides Mario or Luigi the opportunity to acquire power-up items in [[Toad House]]s and by battling [[Hammer Bro]] in an [[Enemy Course]], but after choosing an item in a Toad House or completing an Enemy Course, the player cannot access that area again. The world map also has an inventory from which the player can apply any power-up item that they have before entering a level.

The last destination of a world is a castle, from which Mario or Luigi then goes an [[airship]] to fight one of the [[Koopalings]] in a room at the end. After defeating the Koopaling, Mario or Luigi recovers the magic wand and returns it to the King, returning him to normal.

There is a hidden [[Mario Bros. (Super Mario Bros. 3)|Mario Bros.]] minigame that is a remake of the [[arcade]] game of the [[Mario Bros. (arcade)|same title]]. It is exclusive to two-player mode, and it can be accessed by having Mario or Luigi go to where the other character is on the map and then pressing the A button. Whoever wins the mode is allowed a turn in the main game next.
