	suspect15 5 Jun 2024 04:26 The old leaderboards hadn't functioned for over 8 years, so I am replacing them with new ones that will start/submit upon completing levels. They use the in game timer to track how long each level took to the centisecond. These are much more accurate than the previous ones. I'm going to start with only the World 1 leaderboards for a few days to make sure that no issues arise since there are so many levels in the game - I'd much rather make sure these are functioning properly for all players so I don't end up having to edit dozens of leaderboards.
	RedGuy0028 5 Jun 2024 04:47 Ooh, I wouldnt mind doing leaderboards on this one. Thanks for your efforts!
	itschriz 8 Jun 2024 20:44 Mastered / Platinado :)
	RobbieD3King 13 Jun 2024 02:50 I find Mario Bros 1 and SMWorld to be pretty easy games so im surprised how much I'm getting my ass beat by this one barely halfway through lol
	sebou 20 Jun 2024 22:17 http://www.mario-museum.net/v1/cheats-smb3.htm
	cart 23 Jun 2024 20:05 the completion rate is lower than ninja gaiden but i guess alot boot the game up with no intention of beating it. anyways glad i finally beat this all time classic
	wallmasterz 19 Jul 2024 02:54 Iced rubble was a pretty anticlimactic final achievement, but whatever fam. We mastered SMB3.
	HylianBrat 27 Jul 2024 01:22 Mastered! Played this so much growing up but learned some things here with the set like the double warp and those.... "lovely".... white mushroom houses. Used to think it was only a level 1 thing. Thanks for the set!
	jarccc 31 Jul 2024 11:56 ¡Domiando! Muchos recuerdos... Pero aprendes cosas que de niño ni lo sabías.
	RetroMatt1229 8 Sep 2024 23:31 Mastered! It was long overdue for me to take this one on, this is my favorite game and the game that got me into Nintendo and the Super Mario series back when I was kid. I enjoyed the RA set for this; had to do a bit of back tracking to hammer the rocks in a couple of the worlds, and forgot about needing a Frog Suit for the White Mushroom House in World 7, but overall I had a lot of fun with it.
	MetalShadowOverlord 19 Sep 2024 06:32 I recently found out about how there's a thing called a "Quadruple Roy Route" and was secretly hoping there was an achievement for it. XD
	Argusdubbs 22 Sep 2024 15:03 Mastered and I must say, this was a phenomenal set. This should be used as a model for what sets should look like: comprehensive, challenging, but not obnoxious. I thought this was incredibly well balanced and definitely enjoyed it! Toughest one for me was world 7 white mushroom house, don't forget to save your frog suits!
	VanessaNightshade 9 Oct 2024 04:01 We earned every bit of that mastery. Wow...
	DeadCanDance 15 Oct 2024 02:07 This is about as close to perfect as a set can get. Had a great time with it. Thanks for the set.
	Dricoverso 22 Oct 2024 17:59 Mastering this game is much easier than the other Mario games for NES. A lot of fun!
	hugoshoyru 23 Oct 2024 14:02 Mastery 25: I grew up with this game. It was more difficult than I remembered. Sometimes the controls are not as responsive as you'd like and some of the jumps are really precise but all in all a really fun game still. The set was good. Nothing too out there but a good runthrough of this classic. The hammer achievements were a bit tedious because it meant doing the game four times. The white mushroom houses were challenging but fun. Thanks a lot for this great set!
	sandro4912 3 Nov 2024 09:40 Mastered. At first I only wanted to beat this game but then I realized unlike other Mario sets this one does not contain ridiculous stuff like speed run or collect all coins. So overall all the challenges in it are very doable. Nice to finally have this game from child hood masted. I think it aged perfectly. It is still my favorite Mario game. Impressive that this one could run on NES.
	Zadberry 27 Nov 2024 02:13 My first ever mastery on RA. Thanks for this perfect set!
	GamingDork2000 27 Nov 2024 22:49 Mastery #13! Loved this game. And the set with it.
