Super Mario 3D Land is a game that should be inspiring some modicum of hype among Nintendo fans, but it seems as though excitement levels are a little flat. That may say more about the problems of the 3DS more than anything, but in a recent interview with Famitsu (translated by 1up) Miyamoto claimed that Super Mario 3D takes a lot of inspiration from Super Mario Bros. 3 — a game thought by many to be the greatest Mario game ever created.
It may not be the speediest of speed runs. It may not dazzle with its exploitation of glitches. But this Super Mario Bros. speed run is notable because the player is also simultaneously beating Super Mario Bros. 2, Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario Bros. The Lost Levels.

What if you took New Super Mario Bros for the Nintendo DS and hacked a complete recreation of Super Mario 3 into the thing? Well, why stop there? Why not put some Metroid and Legend of Zelda in there too?

This season marks the 25th anniversary of Super Mario Bros. What better what to say “congrats” than with a fan-made Super Mario game that puts Super Mario Bros 1, 2, 3 and Super Mario World in a blender. Drink it up!
