Just a pirate cart, worth about 20 bucks or so.

why would anyone pirate super mario bros III?  It is a very common game.  I thought Pirate games would look like the originals .  Are there any more web sites to check. With a collection like yours you probably know a few. Thanks

I have a pirate famicom SMB3 with the same artwork. Think about it, they pirate it because it is popular and lots of people would want to buy it cheaper than the retail versions.

Yeah, there's no doubt that cart is a pirate. A common pirate at that.

When we say pirate that just refers to a cheap knock off.  These were made in Hong Kong, and Japan in the masses years ago.  They were just a cheap alternative to buying the real things.  There are thousands of different types of pirates floating about.  I have over 200 myself and I know there are others that have many more than I do.  They are neat, but not worth a whole lot.

This pirate is a SMB3 cart pirate. I know that they made these to make cheap alternatives to the actual game, but they could've also made them to get them out to people, since i'm sure the actual one sold out many times.
