The Japanese release of Super Mario Bros. 3 features a major gameplay difference compared to the North American version, earning itself a separate spot in the Marioverse Marathon.

Exclusive to the Famicom version, when Mario takes damage while powered up, as Tanooki Mario for example, rather than reverting back to Super Mario he is instead reverted all the way back down to Small Mario, effectively only giving the player 2 potential hit points instead of 3, amping up the difficulty of the adventure.
