You're not alone... it was never one of my favorites either.
I mean, it's a good game, but for me, not the best NES game of all time or anything like some people think.


 

I'm definitely in this boat too.  In fact, I don't even think it is the best SMB game on the NES (SMB2 takes that for me).  In any case, my first few runs have been pathetic, scoring less that 100K, so this probably won't be a strong attempt at my first try in the weekly contests.
 

Me too. Sure I had it on the GBA as a kid, but there are much better games on the NES.
As for the best game on the NES, I'd say Clash at Demonhead

I never really cared for this one, either. I didn't play it much when I was a kid.

And actually,  one of the reasons why I disliked it was that scary sun stage. And guess where I died tonight?

Anyway, today I finish pretty early, so I'll have time to try to get a high score again

I started getting bored around World 5 and skipping levels. Eventually got sloppy in World 7 and ended my run. Some games are just painfully dull when it comes to high scores and I'd say this is one of them.

1,437,330

Doubt I'll try and top that one. Add me to the list of people saying "Super Mario Bros 3 isn't that great"

My first attempt at the playthrough. I need to get better and multi-jumping on enemies to double my score.

Yeah it's crucial to have fireball mario when you are on the level with the big cheap cheap swimming around.

I'm glad I'm not alone in this. I personally like SMB 1 & 2 better than 3. To me,SMB 3 is just a souped up version of 1. Plus most of the colors in the game just seem washed out. Gives it that blah feeling to me. Anyway,my first 2 attempts I totally screwed up. I got like 130k and 262k. I can do a lot better. Probably won't get the top score since I personally don't play the game a lot nor really care to,but I'm going to do the best I can.

I totally forgot about that thing!!! I didn't have one when I went into the stage, though. Yes, that would make life a lot easier

Thank you, and thanks for adding one to your sig!
Sure, I can make an SMB one. I think that'll be the last banner, though. I gotta work on some icons after this

Here's my first try.  I stink at this game.  Actually, Mog thinks I just stink and that's why no one is joining me in chat. 


Try 1:


Try 2:
