I'm not usually that fond of NSMBW mods (besides Newer of course) but for this one, I made an exception since I played LOADS of SMB3 as a kid. And I gotta say....this is a really weird and (if I'm being honest) a kinda lazily made mod. Not that I blame the creators since it WAS 2012 when this mod was made.

SO! Lemme just address some really weird things about this mod you guys may notice.

The first thing is the world maps. As you can see.....they didn't change them at all. Thats why some levels will look a little deceptive when you enter them. Most notably with the castles, in that they are actually airship levels (since the final levels in each map in SMB3 were airships). Also, because of the layouts of the maps, they had to switch around some of the world levels from SMB3 (World 6 levels in World 3 for instance.

The next thing I'll mention is the boss battles. Yes, the tower and castle battles are switched around in each world with koopalings, I don't know why they formatted it like that, probably because in the final levels of each world they are "normal" koopaling battles. Also, in World 8, I am forced to do the Bowser Jr. battle twice, and I am forced to do the Bowser Battle 3 times, with one of them being at the end of World 9. The way these battles are formatted are weird.

Next I'll mention how they crammed so many levels together. SMB3 had ALOT of levels, and because they didn't change the map layouts at all, they decided to create two paths in some levels that lead to two different levels, meaning you don't have to do both of them to complete the "entire" level. More often than not though, I'm forced to go in to these different levels because these levels have star coins spread across from them. More notably in World 9 where they stick FOUR levels in one, putting one star coin in 3 out of 4 of them.

Next I'll mention points where I need the penguin suit. Because there WERE no penguin suits in SMB3, they made it so that the only times you can really get it is points replacing the frog suit (which isn't very often) or in mushroom houses, so I'm forced to go twice into a mushroom house to get one.

And finally, I'll mention why for 100% in this game there are only 4 stars instead of 5. There were no cannons OR map shortcuts in the actual SMB3 games....so the devs just decided to make these cannons and shortcuts not accessible AT ALL, which is really stupid imo. So technically, it is completely impossible to get 5 stars in this game, so 4 is all you need to 100% this game.

All in all, this was fun. I always enjoy making long TASes like these. But I think I'm gonna rest a while now lol. Maybe if I feel like it sometime, I'll return to making smash TASes maybe?

Also some pipes are programmed wrong and cause lol funni wall clips that I exploit sometimes.

Enjoy!
