One of the things that made SMB3 such a hit, is how its worlds were setup. In previous SMBs, you would go across worlds by going from level to level. SMB3 started the Level Maps, where you could move around that world. It also gave each world its own unique design and theme and gave the levels in that world that design and theme. As well as each world getting its own overworld music. Here are the worlds. Each world also has its own name, these names differ from the first and second release of SMB3. The second just added the world "land" to the end of every worlds name. Below are both versions names. (Click on any of the world images to view the full-sized image in a pop-up)  World 1: Grass Land/Grass Land  World 2: Desert Hill/Desert Land The far right part of this map shows a hidden Fire Bro. Mini-Level. You can get over there using the Hammer Item. Just one of the ways the maps were interactive.  World 3: Ocean Side/Water Land Ocean Sides a nice name. Anyway, as you can see there's a boat in this world. You can hammer a rock to gain access to the boat. Then use the boat to go around the water, and visit those two islands, and go to the Toad's Houses and Spade Panel. As a kid this was always my favourite level.  World 4: Big Island/Giant Land A cool thing about this world, is enemies in it are larger than usual, Big Goombas and Koopas. Big Pipes, blocks, etc. This was always my brothers favourite world.   Look at the
difference. :P World 5: The Sky/Sky Land The map in the game doesn't look exactly like this, the left and right part aren't connected. You enter the spiral castle on the left side, and end up in the sky on the right part. You can even see the left part all small in the corner of the right part. This world is also the world which contains Goomba's Shoe, the only one in the game.  World 6: Iced Land/Ice Land A fun little world. With slippery grounds, and some ice blocks containing coins you can unfreeze with a fireball. You can also pick up a Hammer Bro. Suit here. :)  World 7: Pipe Maze/Pipe Land Good 'ol Pipe Land. Has levels which are indeed filled with Pipes. Check out level 8, it's just a big Pipe Maze.  World 8: Castle of Koopa/Dark Land Bowsers World! Get through some ship-type levels, and a couple regular levels, which have a cool design. The map doesn't look exactly as shown. There are 4 areas, which are shown pasted together. The 3rd one, which is just a circle, is a famous part of World 8. You see more as you travel across, but always as a circle around Mario or Luigi.  World 9: The Warp Zone I guess every world doesn't end in "land". Yep, The Warp Zone is World 9, it says so at the bottom of the screen. I think its quite cool how they made it World 9, instead of World 0, or not a World at all. Well, The Warp Zone is a cool world indeed. You can Warp to this world by using one of the 3 whistles which are available in the game. Once there you can select a world to go too. You do Warp too a certain row of worlds. Although its easy to set it up to go to the world you want, if you have two whistles. Hey, the water and land colour is the same as World 3 . . .I wonder if their geographically nearby. . . .Yes I know that makes no sense. |
