Super Mario Brothers 3 Never Happened

Now THIS is a great take on Super Mario Brothers 3. If you’ve ever taken over analyzing video games too far you can fully appreciate how a few very simple patterns led to the conclusion that Super Mario Brothers 3 was actually not a game you were playing through but a play. Having played this games a ‘few’ times when I was younger I can absolutely agree that when put in this perspective it makes sense.

Mario Brothers was all in sewers and turned our plumbers into Super Mario Brothers where they entered the Mushroom Kingdom. At the end of this tale Super Mario Brothers (we’re going with the United Stated time line and skipping over the real Super Mario Brothers 2 as to not confuse anyone who didn’t know a different one existed) Bowser was beaten. We enter Super Mario Brothers 2 at this point which turns out to just have been a dream. Super Mario Brothers 3? Simply a recreation to embellish the heroic tale of our favorite plumber and in all this time no action was taken which is what truly gave Bowser the opportunity to wreak such havoc in Super Mario World on the Super Nintendo. He had plenty of time between Super Mario Brothers and Super Mario World to both create a new army AND build his air ship and strange smiley helicoptermobile.

When you think about it – it all makes sense.
