SMB3 – Empty Level Glitch

Here’s an interesting little thing about Super Mario Bros 3.

Many of the map icons are actually inaccessible junk levels, for whatever reason. In world 2 they are pyramids and oasises. I access them using a code to walk anywhere on the map.

Many of them will just freeze the game, some will lead to complete broken levels, on occasion, you’ll get an extra toad house.

In this case, you get taken to the world map screen, interpreted as a platforming level. It’s a glitchy mess that can kill you, and freeze the game with many of it’s hidden doorways.

However, if you play a level before loading the glitched level, and enter a door, it’ll take you to a glitchy part of the last level, as demonstrated!

Glitches sure are fun and interesting huh.

    Pay attention to the video, you have to actually beat a level first before entering the glitch level.
    Some parts of the glitched level act like doors where you press UP, try and find them.

    well, you’re using some kind of cheat because mario moves half the way when going from a point of the map to another.
