Super Mario Bros. 3 was released in North America on February 12, 1990. It received positive reviews from players and critics alike for its challenging gameplay, winning it several awards and earning it the title of one of the greatest video games of all time. The positive reception also earned Super Mario Bros. 3 several re-releases on future systems, including the Game Boy Advance, the Wii Virtual Console, the Nintendo 3DS and the NES Classic Edition.
