Line 97:
* [[Pipe Maze]]: World 7, which [[Trope Namer|is named "Pipe Maze" in the Famicom release, and the first print of the NES game]].
* [[Player Tic]]: One of the most well known ones. Players tend to jump to grab the wand mid-air after defeating a koopaling for some strange reason.
* [[Power Equals Rarity]]: The Tanooki Suit's down special (Statue) is overpowered. So are the Hammer Bros. Suit's hammers. Thus they appear only a handful of times in the game.
* [[Power-Up]]: This game has several powerups unique to itself, including the Hammer Suit and Tanooki Suit, the latter of which is like a souped-up raccoon tail. There's also the Frog Suit, which allows for easier control underwater but lessened control on land, and Kuribo's shoe, available only in world 5-3. The Fire Flower and Mushroom from the first SMB are present as well, and the Raccoon leaf was introduced with the game.
** The ''Super Mario Advance 4'' version added the Cape Feather from ''[[Super Mario World (video game)|Super Mario World]]'', and a brand new item: a blue boomerang that you can toss around not unlike the Boomerang Bros. These were only available via e-Reader cards, however, and due to the [[No Export for You]] treatment of later card sets, the boomerang is only found very late in the level it's found in in the ones that did get a North American release, making it all but useless (except for messing around with) in that level.
Line 111 ⟶ 112:
* [[Shout-Out]]: Use the game's [[Warp Whistle]], and you'll hear the warp tune from ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]''. Mario will also be swept away in a tornado, much like Link in the same game.
* [[Shout-Out Theme Naming]]: The Koopalings are named after actors and musicians.
* [[Sleep Mode Size]]: Mario becomes smaller when his Super Mushroom powers are temporarily drained.
* [[Slippy-Slidey Ice World]]: World 6, Ice Land.
* [[Speed Run]]: Notably [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wz3BuYYhnn0 the legendary 11-minute Super Mario 3 speedrun], probably the most famous tool-assisted speedrun on the Internet. It has been surpassed by more than 30 seconds now.
