I liked this review. It makes me want to write my own rendition and play more SMB3.


I don't have to boost my review resume because I have a real resume.

This was a fantastic review, drella, and my favorite paragraph was this one:

Imagine, seeing it all again, for the first time. It would be glorious,

I think that nicely captured everything. Super Mario Bros. 3 is that utterly fantastic game where the experience is out of this world. I've often played games and wished that they could be as much fun as that first experience I had with Super Mario Bros. 3 when I played it for the first time.


"Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought." - John F. Kennedy on reality

"What if everything you see is more than what you see--the person next to you is a warrior and the space that appears empty is a secret door to another world? What if something appears that shouldn't? You either dismiss it, or you accept that there is much more to the world than you think. Perhaps it really is a doorway, and if you choose to go inside, you'll find many unexpected things." - Shigeru Miyamoto on secret doors to another world2

Damn! That was one hell of a review! Great use of wordplay, especially at the end where you were able to cleverly give little tidbits about many of the worlds. And I loved the angle you took, where you focused on the subtle build of the gameplay.

That's a pretty sweet review, Leroux. What's up with that one hanging sentence though?

Bad eyesight. Thought the comma was a period.
