Super Mario Bros. 3

Every now and then, a video game that is nearly perfect is released, and Super Mario Bros. 3 fits that bill. It was released as the NES's swan song, but it also established the framework for Mario games to follow today: multiple worlds, crazy suits with special powers, and overworld maps. The entire world is a stage, and Super Mario Bros. 3 is set up similarly. Bowser and the Koopalings have taken over Mushroom World, transforming the seven kingdoms' leaders into animals. Players can retrieve stolen magic wands from the Koopalings and use them to restore the rulers to their former selves as they defeat their enemies through 2D platforming.

Whether you're talking about the overworld or each level, this game is the pinnacle of platforming. Even for NES graphics, the levels are unique, challenging, and vibrant. The stage framing device works flawlessly, as evidenced by the stage decorations bolted to the ground and Mario walking off stage at the end of each level. It's difficult to notice these details while trying to stay alive, but luckily, the difficulty of this game is balanced, beginning with easier levels and gradually increasing in difficulty. Each world has its own set of challenges, such as an angry sun attacking you in the desert or avoiding falling out of the sky in the cloud world.
