25 Things I Know You Don't Know About Mario 3

5:50 Stone Mario Hammer Suit was a form so godly powerful and forbidden it needed to be sealed away.

The Chain Chomp has always amused me. Like, why 50? Who is ever organically going to wait that long to discover it? Would have been an awesome normal enemy effect if it was say 3 or 5 lunges.

Finally one of these lists where it doesn't just show common things. Usually I know every single one... This one, I knew 5 only. Thanks.

The chain chomp escape was definitely in the player’s guide. I think Mario 64 also made a homage to it

In a Chuck 'e Cheese restaurant, climb into the stage when the curtain is closed, and enter the staff room. You will find Chuckie's suit hung up on a rack along with a computer on a small office desk.

Impressive list! I knew 10 of them, mostly stuff I've seen in speedruns or TASes, or while working on SMB3 videos. A few of things that blew my mind: - The Star kill boom boom I thought was gonna be obvious, but the star + block on the same frame got me! - The Fire Flower + Coin/Star block really blew my mind. Incredible interaction! - Bombs flashing using Mario's color made me really mad. How did I never notice this!!! These "x things you didn't know about this game" lists are always garbage, but I know a great speedrunner like you would actually deliver sick obscure knowledge!

One thing Mitch doesn’t know: it’s possible to wear a hat that’s a different color from his backdrop, so half his head doesn’t disappear when he keys out the background.

Most lists: Did you know that in Mario 3 there's goombas?! It's crazy! This list: Did you know that if you hit block 214 in level 3-4 with exactly 77 seconds on the clock you can turn Mario into a sentient pumpkin? But it softlocks the game :(

0:11 this is also a very good demonstration of how the cloud items in the sky are randomly generated :)

6:53 Killing diagonal Thwomps also allows you to juggle them, and they also keep their hitboxes after "dying", which is funny.

You can prevent a softlock with the Bowser star kill if you touch him for only one frame. If you kill him again anytime, it will softlock. Same with shells.

This is amazing. No fluff, just straight up content back to back. More please.

That chain chomp one... is actually pretty common "hidden" knowledge.

1:10 Isn't that cute, he's trying to attack me lolz OH SHI-

5:30 that overworld music is a groove tho c:

That chain chomp one is so scary. Imagine just leaving the controller for fun, and coming back to seeing a chain chomp that has broken free all of a sudden, without your knowledge of why.

5:53 the delivery on that line i love

6:00 are you invincible forever too? if you can get out and touch an enemy

damn that chain chomp thing is awesome i really wish it did it after 5-10 tugs instead so it woulda been implemented a lot more.

I knew about the 1up tune but it only happened one time and when it happened I had to ask myself "Did that really happen or am I hearing things?" Glad to see it really happen after all these 32 years on the 12th
