Synopsis

The third installment of Zemina's unlicensed conversions of the early Super Mario Bros games sets itself apart from its predecessors with its own levels. While the first two games imported levels from their corresponding Mario counterparts, Super Boy III does not copy stages from Super Mario Bros 3. Rather, it uses elements from previous Mario games as well as Super Mario World, from which it borrows certain enemies and level design ingredients.

However, unlike those two games, Super Boy III has completely linear levels that must be completed in a particular order. There are no special levels such as castles, no familiar power-ups, and no power-ups other than those introduced in the first Mario game. Mario also walks and runs much slower than in Nintendo games. At the end of each stage, Mario must defeat a Hammer Brother.
