While I was researching the design of old video game boxes for an assignment, I happened to come across a unique screen shot on the back of Super Mario Brothers 3. The box featured an unplayable level that I don’t remember ever playing. I find it strange that levels were cut out of the game but left on the box to tease you. Has anyone ever notice anything similar to this happening on other game boxes?

Super Mario Bros. 3 Is On The Wii & SNES Too?

Yep. I noticed that when I finished the game back in 199x.
I remember seeing that on the box and looking in every strategy guide and cheat book out there just to find that stage and it made me so mad that I could never find it. Too bad because that would have been a very unique level!
Also note that the map of world 1 on the top is different. I’ve been pointing this out for literally 30 years and there’s virtually no mention of it anywhere (guess I didn’t do a good job).
