This is probably the best Mario clone ever. Great level design, simply laid out, and nice use of sound effects. It just has that classic Mario appeal with levels that look like Nintendo might have actually designed them for a legit Mario title. My only problems with the game is that the control is super slick. I kind of feel like I'm sliding around and searching for grip of the control. So in other words, regular Mario physics were not used. Also, to kill an enemy, your jump must be perfectly center. Although I've never had this problem with the Koopas, it happens to me all the time with the Goombas. Extremely annoying.
A great game for all. From ages 4 to 400. It's just so easy to play and so simple but so effective and brilliant. Next to Sonic the Hedgehog, I would have to say that Super Mario 3 and indeed all the Super Mario games are the greatest arcade games and console games of all time.
I honestly believe that Super Mario is a truly brilliant and fantastic game that requires no effort and has such a result when you play it.
Another thing, when I was growing up there was no XBox 360 or PS3, all we had was Mario on the Super Nintendo, I loved it back then and I still love it to this day.

You can call this game an excellent work of art because it really does show the true essence of a Super Mario game.
The background and the music were well toned and brilliant as it can lure you to play for hours even if you keep on repeating the same level.
Traps and secrets are well-placed, they're really positioned on a place where players are very vulnerable, even bonuses serve as a trap you need a good thinking before you get some of them.
Overall I can rate this game EXCELLENT, but for players who use Win2k or XP the game will not be that so good because of some problems on the graphical flow.
I've never seen anything so perfect in my entire life. Why can't all these games be so good? The music is awesome, graphics outstanding, works for any computer. Yes the save problem isn't as good but it sure makes you want to play the game more! The best thing about this game is the long and hard levels, which are intense in most parts and sometimes makes you think just to beat a certain level. The powerups are so cool on this game. If Buziol keeps this up, he could start his own career and start to be one of the richest men on earth! (Just a theory). Great job Buziol, keep it up!
At first I was a bit confused about the controls but then I got used to them after a while. The game has something that makes you feel all good inside and it has a great storyline, but there are a couple of things to look out for. You can't save until you defeat Koopa at the end of the world which makes it quite hard (but that's good really because the harder it is, the more the you'll spend in it) and the other thing... well that's it really for my review. So get this game and you will not get bored for months and if you don't like this game, then you're not a true Mario fan.
This game rocks!
It's just like all the old classic Super Mario games, even dare i say, better than the classics. Great improved graphics, all new levels, same excellent music, this has got to be the best Mario freeware game out there.
I'd say the only problem is the guy who made this was Polish, and unfortunately his translations from Polish to English are not very good, but who cares when it's the gameplay that counts. Heck i wouldn't care if it was all in Greek, I love the game that much. Keep up the good work!
I stick to the fact that another Mario clone being added to this site or any other freeware site could make me feel sick.
Unlike the master of this site, Acidic, this game gave me the same feeling, on the first parts at least. Later as I proceded, this game proved to be a well-enough Mario clone that fits well to be added here.
I won't say that this is the best Mario clone ever. Mario xp still holds the title of being the best mario clone for me.
For once, the reviews are right, this game is excellent. It captures the true magic of the Super Mario brothers. It's one of the best games I have ever played. My only problem is the map screen music which is too modern for a game based on the classic Super Mario Bros. games. However that's only a small problem, and dosent take away any of the magic this game has. I recommend you download it, and see why so many like me a raving about this game.
The game was very well done and is very close to the original. My problem is that in the first world, at the castle stage there is one spot where the lava is too wide to jump over and there's nothing there to help you get over. Maybe it is just me not realizing there is some way to do it, but me and all of my friends have tried all possible ideas. Not being able to get past that is very frustrating, but other than that, very well done.
This is a really great game. The graphics are awesome & the levels are challenging. What I really like about this game is how the creator came up with the idea to create this whole thing. I mean, look at it. He worked so hard on it that it attracts big Super Mario fans. This is a great game & try it if you haven't.
To the Creator: This is a great game. Think of other topics your interested in and create something.
