World 3 (Super Mario Bros.): Difference between revisions

|In the first level of World 3, many of the same obstacles are encountered. Among these are [[Goomba]]s, [[Koopa Troopa|Koopa]]s, [[Piranha Plant]]s, gaps, pipes, and of course many [[Brick Block]] and [[Question Block|? Block]]s. A new addition is encountered however: the [[Hammer Bro.|Hammer Bros.]] which come in pairs around two flights of Brick Blocks. The Hammer Bros. throw hammers quite a lot faster than the player can throw [[fireball]]s. Upon the steps towards the flagpole are two Koopas. With luck the player can execute an infinite 1-Up trick by jumping on these Koopas. However, as the game uses a signed one-byte integer variable for the player's lives, any number of lives from 129 to 255 will be treated by the game as negative, and will cause a [[Game Over]] at the next lost life.

|World 3-4 is a [[castle]] level, so it is the last level of the world. Enemies in this level include [[Firebar]]s, [[Lava Bubble|Podoboos]], and a [[False Bowser]] (its true form being a [[Buzzy Beetle]]). The player must jump across pits of lava as well as carefully maneuver through spinning firebars that hurt the player if touched. Once the False Bowser is defeated, the player finds that another [[Mushroom Retainer]] is in the castle, and not [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]], meaning that Mario still has to continue his journey.
