Super Mario Bros. 3: SMBPHD

Requires Super Mario Bros. 3 (U) (PRG1)

SMBPHD has 7 main worlds of challenging platforming, kaizo tricks, and yes, some trolls for good measure. There are many secrets to be found; unlock World 8 by finishing World 7 with at least 7 secret keys in the inventory. Don't care about getting to World 8? Use the keys to open different routes and skip levels. This game will challenge even the most experienced kaizo players, particularly the latter worlds. Players are advised to not begin kaizo SMB3 education at the PhD level, but rather complete other educational milestones first (below).


Bachelor's degree: Wetland Trials (GBreeze), Git Up, Git Out, Git Gud (Wilson Penn)

Special thanks to Wilson Penn for extensive ASM, design assistance, playtesting, friendship & support. Without Wilson, this game would have been
far less unique and possibly never released at all.
