The first Lost Level is a split screen plains level, whereby the top is connected to the bottom via a number of pipes. In the SNES version though, the background is a single background object. This is because the backgrounds in the NES version are a collection of objects such as clouds and bushes. The only minor difference being the backgrounds. The levels are mostly identical on both the NES and SNES. With coursework commitments and suchlike, the pages got lost! It was only a few months ago that I found the pages whilst looking through a site backup.

Quite fittingly, I actually wrote this page four years ago.

Whatever the real reason for cutting these levels may have been, this page includes screenshots of the levels, along with NES and SNES Game Genie codes which will allow you to access some of these so-called âLost Levelsâ. I was quite amazed to discover that all fifteen of the Lost Levels also featured in the SNES version! Why are they there though? If they were cut from the original game for being out of place, then why would they be included in a remake of the game five years later? The mind boggles⦠For this reason, I decided to go armed with my hex editor, and see what I could find. Whilst it is a reasonably well known fact that these levels exist in the NES version of the game, there was no evidence of the levels existing in the SNES version. Some of the levels are only a few screens long, which could suggest that they were used for testing features and properties of the game. Nobody really knows why the levels were cut from the game, but there are suggestions that perhaps they were too hard, or didnât fit in with the rest of the game. In fact, some of these levels havenât even been finished! 3 which canât be accessedâthey exist, but there are no entrances to the levels. 3 was a large Mario game, but did you know there is actually more to it than meets the eye? There are fifteen known levels in Super Mario Bros. 3 Transmission Zero The âLost Levelsâ Of Super Mario Bros. The âLost Levelsâ Of Super Mario Bros.
