Title: Mario Bros 3 beta
Post by: TRM04 on January 16, 2001, 04:53:44 PM

if anyone has original box, the top two pics are beta.  The middle one was taken out, the top one slightly edited.  Does anyone have box to scan?  I don't have scanner to scan my box.  Also does anyone else have any beta screenshots for this game they would like to share with me?(or anyone else)

My SMB3 box has normal pictures on the back. However, when my mom got her own NES years later, it came bundled with SMB3 -- with the "beta" pictures on the back. Odd.
I've scanned both boxes:

http://www.classicgaming.com/tmk/images/box_smb3_2.jpg

And I know I got SMB3 on the first day it came out, because I remember playing SMB2 that night in giddy anticipation, waiting for my sister's husband to come back from Toys R Us with SMB3. Since he was so nice to get it for us, we let him have the first play. ^_^

Okay, that's enough story time.

To Deezer

Wow!  Your mom plays Nintendo?  My parents really don't like that stuff that much.  Anyways this box thing gets even weirder.

The box I have is not from an action set or whatever you said, mine was gotten from Kitty City a awhile after SMB3 came out.  My brother got straight As on his reportcard so my parents bought it for him.  But when SMB 3 first came out, my brothers friend Jeff brought the game and the box over for us to play.  It had the beta shots on the back, and so did our box.  The weird thing is Jeff got the game when it first came out.  Maybe there was 2 different box arts, distributed to different areas?  Very strange.

Well ^_^ Deez beat me to it...

And Deezer's mom playing is nothing. My NES and games originally belonged to my grandmother ^_^;;
