Super Mario Bros. 3 was a big hit worldwide. Its 2003 (or 04) remake for the GBA was an excellent remake adding extra E-reader Levels and other fun things. This TAS, solely done by me, plays through the game with warps.

Stage by stage comments
World 1-1
This stage went well, although this is waay different than the SNES and NES versions. No GlitchMan grab, sorry.
>World 1-2: The Slider
Sliding speed is faster than running speed. I tried getting this in 1 slide, but physics engine stopped me.
>World 1-3: Whistle No. 1
Overall, this stage went well, but improvement by 3-4 frames could be possible.
(>)World 1 Fortress
I just could NOT get the jump off the block for the leaf. I spent about 350 rerecords on this one spot, and just couldn't get it.
Tanks and Boats Autoscrollers
I am quite good at these autoscrollers. No improvement.
Hand Screen
No Hands. Good Autoscroller.
>World 8-1
Shutter Running? Tried and failed. Possible though. Level went ok.
World 8-2
I spent a lot of time redoing this level to keep P-speed on Piranha Hill, and I got it. Further improvements are about 1-2 frames.
>World 8 Fortress
Good Overall, but someone more skilled could improve this by 1 second.
Last Autoscroller
Almost perfect.
>>Bowser's Castle
This was an OK stage, passing thru walls could be done (I think) but never could get. Bowser fight was great.
> = Stage that can be improved
