Here's a showcase of every animation of Super Mario Bros. 3 seven kings, from the NES, SNES (Super Mario All-Stars) and GBA (Super Mario Advance 4) versions of the game.
Can you spot all the differences and references?
Which is your favourite transformation? :D
00:00 Intro
00:10 NES vs SNES
06:15 GBA - Hry
Props to the toads actually attempting to protect the king.
Whilst not caring about the princess
Koopalings: Get the f*ck outta here you weakling mushroom. *Steal da wand and transform king*
Koopalings: Later suckers
*Epic escape*
@@jaytv25 They care. But peach is only kidnapped in about after world 2.
@@dyoshi99 OH NO YOU ARE TRANSFORMATED IN WORLD 7 !!
@@mrmaker3361 no, that green me purple
I’ve gotta say, I prefer the NES version because it has unique sprites for the kings transformations, unlike SNES and GBA, that reused sprites from other games like Super Mario Bros 2 or Super Mario World. But the cinematics in GBA are a really nice addition!
sentiment shared lol
@@Ruskah0307 Yeah. 😅
The nes version is more nostalgic and better for me
DK Jr. and Yoshi were unique sprites at least.
Yoshi's Island wouldn't release for another two years
Eh, it makes more sense in-game wise that the Koopalings would turn the Kings into creatures from the Mushroom World instead of real world animals.
So no one's gonna talk about how the King of Water Land looks just like Mario?
GameXplain brought up the fact that it might be because that section of Water Land is shaped like Japan
@Davis Bowe @@pvzmariosonica8fan Ya, the island on that part of the map is shaped like Japan, and the location of the castle correlates with the location of Nintendo's headquarters, so the king looking like Mario is definitely intentional.
I love how in the original, the King of Sea Side was turned into a Kappa.
Same
Water Land is probably another version of the Mushroom Kingdom in an alternate universe that Mario somehow managed to teleport into between World 2 and 3, and one day Mario became king of Water Land.
I love the fact that in GBA version, Toad just casually gives up when attack is blocked.
Yeah, Toads are defenseless...😅
@@IvanFranco120not all of them
I mean… if it doesn’t work once, it won’t work the second time.
2:06 LUIGI!? You are the king of water land!?
Luigi in súper Mario all Stars Luigi is taller than Mario
I love how when Roy and Ludwig came, the floor shakes, just like when you battle them.
I wonder how Morton doesn’t make the ground shake cause he’s pretty heavy too.
@@Supernick1111 he was younger here. The only got the ability to shake the ground in the newer games after getting older (and bigger).
@@seandwalsh3 Nice detail
I'd like the Kings from this game to come back in some way, shape or form... Feels weird to have them in such a popular game only to drop them like that.
I want King Toadstool from the comics back
Holy shit I forgot that multiple different kings canonically exist in the mario universe
Super Mario Bros. 3 will always be one of my favorite Mario games ever. That game was really ahead of it's time and it also introduced various new characters and concepts that'd be later reused for later Mario games.
Yeah, SMB3 is an NES masterpiece before SMW was existed in 1990 for the SNES. 😅
@@IvanFranco120 SMB3 > SMW
@@stick101x2 An theory? 🤔
@@IvanFranco120 A fact. Well Not really, but it's still better than World.
@@stick101x2 Yeah, but SMB3 introduce TONS of new stuff that later it would become an timeline throughout the series...😅
Toad in SMB3: The king has been transformed get the magic wand so we can change him back!
Mario: Comes back with magic wand,king is ALREADY changed back somehow
Also Mario: Bruuuuh
While the original transformations are better, I’m glad they kept the King’s human designs. Especially how World 3’s still looks similar, but slightly different to Mario.
Because world 3 is just Italy
I think it’s supposed to be a reference to Nintendo themselves, considering that part of the map is based on the big four islands of Japan 🇯🇵 with the castle being where Kyoto would be and considering that Mario is Nintendo’s mascot, it makes sense he would be king
I never thought of that! I always thought it was just a way to save cartridge space.
@@eeveeon4081 Nah I don’t think that’s the reason, also after I posted that comment I realised that the reason why world’s 3 king is Mario is because it’s Super Mario Bros 3, I felt like a genius when I found that out, but in retrospect I feel like that should be pretty obvious to come to that conclusion, so now I feel kinda stupid that I didn’t connect the dots
Like the older animal forms as some made since. (Seal for ice world and plant for pipe world)
Not sure why they changed those to something that didn't fit the world theme.
Moral of the story: Toad is useless as a guard. Also block the attack if someone is trying to jump on you.
Toads brain be like: 🙄
@@IvanFranco120Why can the Kings do the same to the koopalings in the game like shoot magic spells on them instead of just standing there like idiots?
@@IvanFranco120nah bro he’s bowing, accepting that the Koopalings are stronger than him.
I honestly prefer the NES's version where the kings are their own animals (and so far into the video a kappa) instead of just reused enemy sprites with a crown on top
Same.
But then you miss out on the existential worry of wondering if the other enemies you encounter were people too 🤔
@@FFKonoko no, they aren't lol
That sentiment SORTA loses its value when the King of Pipe Maze has been turned into a Piranha Plant in the original, when in the SNES and GBA versions, he got turned into a Yoshi instead.
@@ArendAlphaEagle I mean yeah but
1) that looks like an original sprite to me, what with the flailing leaves and the pipe pot
2) it's way more fitting
When I was a child I tought World 3 King was Mario's father
and World 6 King his gay uncle
I find it weird that all the transformations have crowns, but not all of the kings do.
I appreciate some of the changes made with the SNES one, like changing the spider in World 2 to be a Hoopster and changing the bird in World 5 into an Albatoss (and, while not the greatest resemblance, replacing the seal with a Monty Mole, maybe because of the nose resemblance), but I find it odd that other enemies were used in place of the Spike and Venus Fire Trap transformations in Worlds 3 and 7, and why the Dino Rhino was put in World 3 (SNES) when it would've made more sense to replace the dinosaur transformation in World 4 (NES).
I thought it was Spike at first as well, but if you look closer the King was actually turned into a Kappa
I kind of like the random animals though... Mario enemies are too cliched...
@@scarffoxandfriends9401 yup. You can see it pretty clearly in artwork. Definitely a Kappa.
I liked the seal better.
The way it played with its crown was cute 🙂
Water Land's King looks so much like Mario! Bring on the theories about him being related to Mario and Luigi somehow. Also, it's interesting to notice that in the All Stars version, they replaced some of the animal sprites with references to 2 and even World. (And DK Jr.!) The Yoshi sprite here is almost dead-ringer for the sprite they would use for Yoshi's Island a couple years later.
Maybe comes from Mario Land
There should be a canonical Piranha Plant and Yoshi king in their own worlds
I definitely prefer the SNES version, if not for the awesome cameos. We got Donkey Kong Jr. that's awesome
And a Yoshi
We already had DKJR in Super Mario Kart. #notimpressed
Fun fact: Yoshi wasn't in Super Mario Bros. 3 until Super Mario World in 1990
I feel so dump. I just realized, that the transformation of the king in Super Mario Bros Movie to mushrooms, was a reference to Super Mario Bros. 3's kings. He even turns back into the king on his thrown in the end of the movie, like in those clips.
I gotta say. I like both designs. Every king young and old gets turned into animals. I remembered playing those two versions before. It was a long time ago.
King of world 6 was already an animal lol
Did anyone noticed how the two Kings with a turbants, that should be clearly the Sultan of the Desert... AREN'T!
My thoughts exactly that would make a lot sense
Plus the Viking King from World 7 would have made more sense for Ice Land.
@@darinstaley1993, @Mariuigi Khed, if they did THAT the game would most likely be called RACIST.
Would it be funny to have a queen for Water Land because of Wendy O. Koopa?
@@akeem6024 the Animated seroes did that, I don't see anyone being insulted by the fact that a SULTAN is watching over a desertic place
I actually like that they use enemie designs from other Mario games as the transformations in the snes version, even throwing DK jr. In there.
3:15 wait the king was transformed into Donkey Kong Jr?!
Yes.
Yes MDS It is
Yes
5:56 - But... yoshi good yoshi!
I think almost all of the transformations are better in the NES version but basically all of the SNES’s Kings are better
NES version of Pipe Maze king looked Amish.
@@andrewtomashaska4985 true
@@andrewtomashaska4985 I thought the same thing. Also his sprite looks a bit unsettling to me. But not evil necessarily. He looks like he's seen things. He knows what world 8 has in store. Just my thoughts lol
@@andrewtomashaska4985 I thought the King of Pipe Land is wearing a fedora, not knowing that he's wearing a viking hat because the horns have the same color as his throne.
The king's transformation where he becomes Yoshi is my most favorite. Not exactly rideable, but still that cameo was pretty cute. Also, fun fact: Piranha Plant and Yoshi share the same World King while in different versions, NES and SNES, respectively. And while Yoshi appeared in Smash Bros. five times and once for Piranha Plant, their appearances in Ultimate could possibly be referred or inspired from their king's transformation cameos from World 7.
lmao how
aww SMB 3 my very first game :D
I didn't know that we could see the king being turned into animals -yoshi included- on the GBA version :0
And saying that was the SMB3 on gba my first game, thank for such an amazing video :D
The king of water land looks like Mario.
Dang- Mario's a royal? That would explain the castle in Mario Land 2
Super Mario Bros. 3 is one of my favorite Mario games. Nice video!
Hmm.. the grass land king, looks far more like someone who lives in the desert than the desert king. Both versions. They should be swapped. Also, the Viking is king of the pipe maze and not Ice land? Such weird choices.
Here. I have suggestions for what each king could have been.
Grass Land: Normal
Desert Land: Pharaoh
Water Land: Merman
Giant Land: Giant
Sky Land: Angel
Ice Land: Eskimo
Pipe Land: Normal
3:52 Cracks me up because of how much he looks like the Ice King from Adventure Time.
LOL. 😅😅😅
In a funny way, the king of Pipe Land is in Smash twice over.
Toad’s original upset jumping animation is really funny to me!
Thank you for making this video.
Wait, I don't remember Yoshi being in before the SNES.
Really? You should play SMB3 with the All-stars collection on your Nintendo Switch. If you have NSO Service of course. 😅
Yoshi’s sprite in Super Mario World 2 Yoshi’s Island is based on this.
@@jugador398 Pretty sure Super Mario World 2 Yoshi's Island's already had his design finalized before SMAS and YC were made, just with a really different color palette.
@@Turbulation1 Yeah, its green, but slightly darker...😅
Super Mario Advance's custcenes are awesome
Yeah...😅
All 7 kings got spelled by koopalings in Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3
Larry spell the king in World 1 into Cobrat
Morton spell the king in World 2 into Hoopster
Wendy spell the king in World 3 into Dino Rhino
Iggy spell the king in World 4 into Donkey Kong Jr.
Roy spell the king in World 5 into Albatoss
Lemmy spell the king in World 6 into Monty Mole
Ludwig spell the king in World 7 into Yoshi
I didn't know the Kings' transformations had cutscenes on GBA.
Yeah, those cutscenes are exclusive to the GBA version. 😅
The Water Land King looks like Mario! Related maybe?
In a parallel universe, Water Land King is Mario's father.
But who is that third Mario brother who's king of world 3? And what is Gandalf doing in world 5?
This Yoshi uses the same sprite as yoshi island,but 2 years prior
That design for Yoshi in YI was already finalized, likely before SMAS was made.
6:25 Dog
6:40 Isty bitst spider
6:53 Spike Kappa
7:08 Dino Dinosaur
7:22 Bird Vulture
7:37 Seal
7:52 Piranha Plant
I have the GBA version and it only shows in the intro the first koopaling who transforms the first king not the other ones I don’t know where you got your source but it ain’t what I’ve seen
Yeah, those Koopaling cutscenes in fact can only be seen if you used an flute warp to skip worlds. When reaching them after beating the game, an exclamation mark graphic (!) appears on the top of the castle sprite that shows that the airship level hasn't beaten yet.
4:10 A wild Fearow appears!
The king of water land is BRUNO
Nice video
The king from world 3 looks like mario’s long lost relative
2:09 tf this guy looks like Mario
Hey Looygi, did you know that besides World 1, all the worlds in SMB3 had more unique names in the Japanese, NES PRG0, SNES, and GBA versions? They are as follows:
World 2: Desert Hill
World 3: Ocean Side (Sea Side for SNES and GBA)
World 4: Big Island
World 5: The Sky
World 6: Iced Land (note the "D" in "Iced" )
World 7: Pipe Maze
World 8: Castle of Koopa (Castle of Kuppa in Japanese Famicom, Bowser's Castle in GBA)
Yeah, its strange that the NES calls all the worlds of the game: X Land, rather than using unique names like the SNES and GBA versions... 🤔
@@IvanFranco120 PRG0 uses the unique names though, and same with the JP version
We always pointed out how the king is already transformed back to himself even before the wand is returned to him.
*when you forgot that the king of pipe land turned into a yoshi*
Wut
King of the water world is unknown Mario's brother. Change my mind.
6:56 Don’t touch her! You’ll get cooties!
Gonna need a Mario 3 (SNES and GBA) mod with the original transformations, now.
Kings 1, 2, and 3 talk by blinking their eyes, and King 4 talks by swinging his feet.
In the GBA remake cutscenes, those same kings (annd still the other three, too) even open their mouths just before the Koopalings attack them.
06:25 wait i have played SMB3 GBA but i NEVER heard this music dispiced the fact that i have watched the intro cutscene countless time
2:37 thats looks like Mario world
5:57 yoshi is weird, no tounge
I do have to admit that i do like those added cut scenes in the gba version of it,i can only imagine that if they did this in both the nes & snes version,they may would,ve used the hammerbrother tune,the bossfight tune or the fortress tune.
Let some hacker add those stuff in.
I only saw Larry's cutscene, but not the rest, how is that?
On the nes version, the transformed kings fit the world they belong to much better. Giant Land-> Dinosaur, Ice Land-> seal, Pipe Land-> Piranha sticking out of a PIPE!! This detail is mostly gone in the other versions.
Water Land is very interesting, the map were the castle is looks like Japan, the king is Mario and his transformation looks like a Kappa. Sky Land is a bird in both versions btw.
props to larry for making donkey kong jr exist again for a breif moment

King Quotes when rescued using various suits
Tanooki Suit:Thank you kind Raccoon. Please tell me your name
Frog Suit:Oh me Oh my! You've been transformed! Shall I change you back with this wand?
Hammer Suit:Hey you! How about lending me your clothes? No dice?! What a drag.
4:45
Did he really transform back fully?
I think he's definitely an odd looking king lol
Finn from adventure time
The king of ice land was done dirt y in the snes, that seal was cute.
Seals are also associated with ice and snow.
Considering (it has been confirmed) this is a play, real Mario made a cameo as the king in World 3.
Fun Fact: Yoshi Sprite Was Reused In Yoshi's Island
I love Yoshi, but its much more fitting that the world 7 king would ve transfomed into a pirhanna plant
If I worked at Nintendo that I’m hoping one day, I would make remakes of the classic games and use the story and the levels will be classic and modern
We'd definitely count on you.
0:38 Cobrat (SMB2)
1:31 Hopster (SMB2)
2:22 Dino Rhino (SMW)
3:15 DK Jr. (SMK)
4:09 Albatross (SMB2)
5:02 Monty Mole (SMW)
5:54 Yoshi (Yoshi's Island)
So when the Koopalings zap Mario with their wands during the boss fights, why doesn't Mario turn into an animal?
Wands were set to kill.
@@AkaiAzul "I'll set my wand from transform to kill."
"Oh, great. If he gets too close, we can blink him to death."
5:57 props to yoshi for taking over the king
So is the King of Waterland Mario and Luigis oldest brother or their father or something? Cause that’s an uncanny resemblance.
I Didn't Know It Has Yoshi In Smb3
I find it so weird that the sprite for yoshi's island was used before that game was even made.
Not just in Super Mario All Stars. That Yoshi sprite was also used in the SNES version of Yoshi's Cookie.
That Yoshi design was practically finalized by October 1993 according to developmental material of YI from the gigaleak.
@@Turbulation1 Based on the Yoshi's Island prototype, I figured Yoshi's Island was originally going to be planned to release much earlier than 1995. I wonder if the whole FX chip has something to do with it. I also find it really interesting Yoshi's Island was originally supposed to be an early SNES Donkey Kong game that ended up being scrapped.
@@retrofan4963 the FX chip was likely already in the project since 1993. YI began development in Feb 1992 so it wouldn’t have the chip just yet. And that Donkey Kong game in 1991 can be considered one of several ideas the main artist had in mind when he was moving to game design.
2:14 mario's father?
They replaced the piranha plant with Yoshi ... come on.
2:48 He became the Bubble Bobble dinosaur.
Not sure why they'd change the creature depending on the console. (Grassland is a dog on the NES, while he's some snake thing on SNES and GBA)
5:54 Yoshi Is The King
Whatever happy to the seven kings? Do they have kids? Have them join the roster of mario Kart.
Happened*
Seaside king looks like Mario
Mario its the king of water land
It’s a shame we don’t see the kings anymore in the later games
I'm especially gonna miss the World 3 King.
GBA is the definitive version of SMB3
Yeah, not only for main game, but also the E-reader levels. 😅
Is like the all stars versión
0:14 dog
1:04 isty bisty spider
1:56 spike
2:48 dino
3:41 bird
4:34 seal
5:27 piranha plant
I don’t get why the Toads do the exact same thing in GBA!
Because Toads are attempting the same startegy without sucess...
the water land king in nes his head is the same as mario
or the same nintendo's have that i think
Mario should've stopped after getting the wand to change back the Yoshi (not THE Yoshi) into a human and said "You know what...I have an idea, you will come in handy sir!". He then proceeds to use him like THE Yoshi he meets a year later (or whatever time frame it is). Haha it would be funny, but dark at the same time with him threatening to use the wand to make him into something worse if he doesn't follow his commands. Then in the Koopa battle he falls into the pit that Bowser makes and Mario never mentions the 6th King again and threatens anyone that brings it up with being turned into a Yoshi too...and thus the origin story of Yoshi's. Mario is a true DICtactor hahah...
Between the NES and SNES, Toad looks different, as do all of the kings.
SMB3, a masterpiece
Lol Giant Land King turned into Godzilla in NES Version and Donkey Kong in SNES Version
So king of Giant Land became DK JR?
Since when Mario has king relatives?
3:54 looks like saruman
I think in the SNES version they just wanted to use their sprites from SMB2 more because not a ton of people would play that game
edit: and the other games in the all-stars package
edit 2: and whatever else they wanted to draw
