Question Mario 3 "secrets"

Bear with me, I'm new... hopefully this is the right place...

Okay, so I just hooked up my OLD original Nintendo Entertainment System, after years in storage. Has the original Mario Bros./Duck Hunt combo "disk" that came with it, plus I got Mario 3 (and some infuriating race car game LOL)... Anyway, I recall "back in the day" there was a guide book with all the secrets and tricks for getting through Mario 3, and was just wondering if anyone could tell me whether I might be able to find this info online? Now, it's a fun game, but not important enough for me to BUY a book on it (if it still exists)... just looking for some free advice to perhaps make it a little less stressful. It's been so long I've forgotten what some of the things are...

Any suggestions?

Yeah, try out Gamefaqs.com, it'll have what you need. And I've never heard anyone call the cartridges "disks" before - I've heard "tapes" before, and scratched my head at that one...

Yeah, I wonder if the new generation of gamers are going to be baffled at terminology such as 'cartridges' and battery back-up saves.

The Mushroom Kingdom might also be a good place to look... they have pretty much all the secrets from those old Mario games on their website.

Question

GameFAQS and the Mushroom Kingdom are nice, but I'd only use strategy guides as a last resort. What's wrong with playing through the game without help?

Yeah, cartridges, that's what I meant. Blonde moment.

Thanks. I'll check out gamefaqs.com... and what's the addy for mushroom kingdom & easternmost peninsula? Just "".com.

Oh I know I'm such a cheater. LOL No, nothing wrong with just playing the game, and I'm amazed at some of the stuff I remember, but I would like to at least find out what the worlds are so I know what to expect. I knew it all years ago, but need to refresh my memory. Not like the tricks will make me any better at it. LOL

Thanks again.
