|Bob-ombs are living bombs. They typically appear walking on the ground. If Mario stomps on one, it will become stationary and capable of being picked up and used as a weapon. However, it will explode in a few seconds, even if Mario is still holding it. Keyless Bob-ombs are launched from cannons, and explode on their own after a few seconds.

Unlike ''Super Mario Bros.'' and ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', this game has a world map, a feature that has been carried over into every subsequent title in the series. Like ''Super Mario Bros.'', the game features eight total worlds spread out across eight different maps, each one featuring a different name, theme, and boss; the inclusion of thematic worlds would also be carried over into future titles in the series. In the original NTSC release of this game, most of the worlds were given different names (indicated in parentheses in the table below), which are largely carried over to remakes. According to the Japanese manual, the map designs were deliberately modeled after that of a board game.<ref>Shesez (December 23, 2021).
