There is more than meets the eye to this legendary Nes game debated as the greatest game of all time. The objective of the game is to rescue Princess Toadstool from King Bowser by traveling through 8 worlds. All this while collecting ability gaining "power ups". These power ups come in strange and unusual items. Here are the Top 5 Drug References in the world of Super Mario Bros. 3.
5.) Warp Pipe
On first impression it appears to be a flute until Toad proclaims.
"One toot on this whistle "warp pipe" will take you to a far away land!" Toad
It might not be odd for a little kid to read that statement but to anyone else it might be a red flag right away. Toad is an unusual guy to begin with a Mushroom for a head and also living in a Mushroom House. Toad makes it very easy to travel from World 1 to any World instantly though. Got to hand it to him there.
4.) Leaf/Fire Flower/Pipes
The Fire Flower was introduced in the previous installment Mario Bros. 1 but the leaf makes an appearance just for this game. These two power ups could reference to a variety of hallucinogenic plants. People commonly associate the Fire Flower with cannabis since the original game. It is unknown if Nintendo meant any correlation as the game dates back to the original in 1985. That is when the popular Mario Bros. themes were added to the game.
The pipes in this game were different from the pipes in the original. There was a larger variety of sizes, shapes, and colors of pipes in this game. Warp Pipes only appear in this game after using a Warp Pipe on the World selection screen.
3.) White Mushroom House
This was the rare Mushroom House for completing coin challenges (one challenge in each world). There are many types of Mushrooms in the Mario games but here are ones collected from Nes.
Poison Mushroom (Bad Mushroom)
Grow Mushroom (Normal Mushroom)
1-up Mushroom (Great Mushroom)
White Mushroom (Rare Secret Mushroom)
(ex. Coin Challenge World 1 Level 4: It is a automatic side scrolling stage. Collect all the coins and you will be rewarded with a White Mushroom House with a P-Wing inside.)
2.) World 7 Pipe World
A whole world dedicated to pipes and some challenging puzzle themed levels. All this while avoiding the same Goombas, Koopas, Piranhas, and more. It is more or less the Black Market of the Super Mario Bros. 3 game except more difficult. The main map music in World 7 sounds like a slum theme.
1.) The Frog Suit
When you first enter a World 3 Mushroom House you have a random choice between a Leaf, Fire Flower, or Frog Suit. Mario opens a treasure chest and receives a Frog Suit. Toad escorts Mario out of the Mushroom House. The concept of licking Toad might have been introduced to the World of Mario Bros.
Final Fun FactMario Bros. 3 is the most sold Nintendo game of all time not including the original since it was bundled with the Nintendo Entertainment System.
