Message: [QUOTE="Isegrim, post: 261608, member: 569592"] I loved both but Super Mario Bros. 3 edges it out because of nostalgia. We had a Famicom and being the huge Mario fans back then, we bought Super Mario Bros. 3 the Japanese version the moment we saw the box in our local store. Yes, the one where you'd turn into Small Mario instantly if you get hit even with a Racoon tail or suit. (Plus all of Peach's letters were in incomprehensible Japanese...::sadkirby) We got it so early that when we watched the 1989 movie "The Wizard" about a whiz kid who wins a video game tournament and the climax involved the revelation of Super Mario Bros 3 to western audiences, we just said..."We already finished that." I remember in the original showing, the kid gets the third star in the goal box, gets the star fireworks display (which gives you a 5up) and immediately, he gets a ton of points clinching the tournament. I remember thinking to myself...that doesn't get you any points at all...WTF? When I tried to look for that scene years later in the internet, the fireworks display scene seems to be...cut? Also, I used to annoy my sister a lot with Super Mario Bros. 3. When she passed my luigi in the map, I'd hit the button and we'd get into the head-to-head Mario Bros. level. I usually win with her turn getting forfeited...and she'd get really TICKED OFF! Memories. [/QUOTE]
