Play Super Mario Bros. 3 Online Free

UPDATE: IMPORTANT NOTE! This game uses the latest version of the Java Runtime Environment. If you have issues please go here and download the latest version for your browser. I apologize if you have issues when loading this page. The good news is that you now know your Java is outdated :P

By far the best Mario game for the NES, and now it can be played online free.

Click in the screen to make it active. I put it here because it is more likely that my site will pass a work firewall ;) . Controls and instructions are listed below the game.

To get the player select to pop up on the intro screen you need to hit “Enter” and then “Enter” again after you make the selection. Not sure how to select a 2 Player game though. If someone figures it out please leave a comment. You hit “X” to enter a level. The only other thing that isn’t easily figured out is the selecting one of your items on the World Screen. That is where you can hook yourself up with a mushroom, leaf, plant, etc. Just hit “Z” while on the world screen to access that.

The controls are:

Right Arrow = Move Right
Left Arrow = Move Left
Up Arrow = Enter Section
Down Arrow = Enter Pipe / Duck
X = Jump / Enter Level
Z = Run Faster / Fly
Enter = Start

Be aware of one thing though when you play this. If you switch to another window on your browser you will need to click in the window to de-activate inputs from being for the game. Like if you need to fill out a form or something you need to click on the screen somewhere before it will let you do it. Not sure why at this point, but it doesn’t mean you need to go to drug rehab or anything. It’s just how it is.

    It won’t let me into level 1. I press enter but it doesn’t work. D:

    If you can get your hands on a cheap $5 PC gamepad/controller (Like a cheap ass Logitech controller since these games don’t require major features) I recommend you do this:

    1. Go to Emulator Zone and download one of these emulators for NES.

    2. Then go to thepiratebay.org (you need uTorrent or some other torrent software) and search for “NES ROMS”. You should be able to download 1,000 NES games in a folder less than 50MB or so I imagine.

    3. Enjoy.

    P.S. I believe you can play most of the gmaes with a plain old keyboard too, but a controller is better obviously.

    Also, Rosee, you need to click the box with the mouse cursor to make the game window active. THEN hit enter.
