''Oh shit! I got the shoe! I'm so invincible! Oh! Eat it, you bitch! You don't understand! I got the damn SHOE! It's the shoe! And look at how cute I am with my stupid plumber head poking out of the wind up sock! I am the cutest invincible shoe rider ever! Mario! Mario! He's in the ULTRA green SHOOEEE!''<br />
This went on for about 10 more minutes as I kept bouncing back and forth on the level screaming nonsense about the damn shoe until the time ran out. We sent a copy to my mom. I heard she cried."|'''[[Seanbaby]]'''}}
** There ''is'' a cameo of it in ''[[Mario and Luigi Bowsers Inside Story|Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]''.
* As a matter of fact, ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' in general is just one big Game of Awesome. There were 8 worlds with a total of 90 levels, 5 special suits (not counting mushrooms and stars), a slew of bonus games, a duel mode (if you're playing with a friend), scores of enemies, and an obscene amount of ridiculously well hidden secrets ''everywhere''. On top of that, this game was on the original, 8-bit NES, before 3-D graphics, memory cards, and FMV cutscenes. It still managed to be amazingly successful, selling over 18 million copies, the most of any non-bundled game ever.
** And with such a long ass game back in the NES days, you might think that the level design might get repetitive and boring, but no: every single level is masterfully made and especially the Army levels in World 8 were truly [[Nintendo Hard]] without ever being unfair. There's a reason why Super Mario Bros 3 is regarded as pretty much the best platformer of all time.

=== [[New Super Mario Bros Wii]] ===
* It's probably fair to say the final battle of ''[[New Super Mario Bros Wii]]'' is one for several parties involved. At first glance, it appears to be a pretty standard "run under Bowser and hit the switch to drop him into the lava" fight. {{spoiler|Then Kamek reveals himself to have taken Peach's place, and spreads magic around like he usually does. Except this time, it has the effect of making Bowser ''so large that he knocks Kamek out of the sky as he grows.'' Indeed, it's possible that this is [[Attack of the 50 -Foot Whatever|the second-largest height to which Bowser has ever grown]] (the largest being his Giant Bowser battles in ''[[Mario and Luigi Bowsers Inside Story|Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'').}} True, most of the following battle is actually {{spoiler|you running away from Bowser and surviving long enough to hit the switch at the end that defeats him for good -- and it would be entirely unremarkable, if it wasn't one of ''the'' most intense platforming sequences in the game, filled with difficult and time-sensitive jumps and enemies prowling around every corner. [[Final Exam Boss|Practically every obstacle is being thrown against you all at once,]] making it that much more satisfying when you finally hit that final switch.}} And if that doesn't sound good enough, imagine doing it alongside three friends. Now ''that's'' [[Nintendo Hard]].
* Before that, there's the entirety of level 8-7. You ride on a fast-paced undead dragon roller coaster, dodging geysers of lava while it periodically screeches. It's a favorite level in the series for many.
