Answer: The Legend of Zelda

Both "The Legend of Zelda" and "Super Mario Bros. 3" feature items that make sound. In "The Legend of Zelda", if Link blows on the recorder, a Whirlwind takes him away. Using the exact same sound effect, if Mario blows on a secret whistle he will be taken to a special warp zone.

Answer: True

The first time I ever played "Super Mario Bros. 3", it was in a local Pizza Hut in my home town. I remember being puzzled because there were question blocks actually on the ground in World 1-1 and I didn't know how to get it. Several other Nintendo titles were part of the Player-10 arcade series, including "Super Mario Bros." and "Castlevania". I remember playing all three titles in arcades.

They actually made several changes to the arcade version of "Super Mario Bros." and even replaced original levels with levels from the Japanese "Super Mario Bros. 2".

This arcade title is known as "Vs. Super Mario Bros."

Answer: Four

"Super Mario Bros. 3" is the fifth title starring Mario in the "Super Mario Bros." series. The first title is "Super Mario Bros.", published in 1985. In 1986, Nintendo allowed Hudson to develop a Mario game for the NEC PC-8801 computer called "Super Mario Bros. Special". Nintendo officially licensed this game, although they played no part in its development, much like the Zelda CD-i titles.

Then later on in 1986 Nintendo released "Super Mario Bros. 2" on the Famicom Disk System add on peripheral for the Famicom.

In 1988 they released "Super Mario Bros. 2", which was a slight revision of the Japanese Famicom Disk System title "Doki Doki Panic". Then, in 1988 in Japan and 1990 in the United States, Nintendo released this masterpiece.
