Super Mario Bros. 3 SNES: World 8-Bowser's Castle + Ending

The true final fortress is Bowser's own Castle. I go out with a bang on this game by giving Mario one more P-Wing, and then making him invincible at the start of the stage.

There are multiple routes to take here, but they'll all eventually lead to the King of Koopas himself.

When you reach said King of Koopas, he blocks off a door that leads to Princess Peach. To get to her, beat him, first.

The bad news is that you unless you're Fire Mario or Hammer Mario, you can't hurt Bowser at all. The good news is that if that's the case, just trick him into using his Bowser Bomb through the brick ground.

He'll fall through it to some dark pit, never hurting anyone again, or at least in this game. Mario finally gets reunited with Princess Peach Toadstool once again, though she's kinda loopy as she plays a joke on the first game's memorable quote. Lol.

So that's it for the Super Nintendo version of Super Mario Bros. 3. Had this been the Game Boy Advance version, I would be able to go back through any level I wanted. Instead, this makes me start World 8 over again...

Hmmmm... I know the GBA version came after this one, but still...

Thanks for watching!
