RedWolf's Homebrew Game Genie Code Gallery: Super Mario Bros. 3
November 21st, 2005 by Benj Edwards
The Game Genie is without a doubt the coolest peripheral I've ever owned for the NES. When I was bored with regular old NES games, I could essentially "reprogram" them with the device and make them more interesting. Tired of being told by game designers that I had to play the games their way, I delighted in manipulating game mechanics. After all, I thought, I bought the game, and I should be able to play it however I want ("Game Genie: empowering the gamer since 1991″). Before long, the codes included in the official Game Genie booklet got boring, so my brother and I made up our own. This resulted in some particularly reality-bending codes, the best of which I have included here. Some of these codes might have been discovered by other fellow Game Genie enthusiasts since then, but I assure you, these are straight from my circa-1994 spiral-bound, home made Game Genie Book.
This second entry on GG codes deals only with the US version of Super Mario Bros. 3 (the first entry is here). Unfortunately, I didn't have as many SMB3 codes in my book as I thought I did. Still, these are definitely neat. Try them out yourself and have fun. Also, feel free to share your own codes in the comments section.
Tired of getting hit and losing the rare Swimming Purple Raccoon Mario power up? Well tire no more, since this code makes it permanent!
Permanent Mario Shoe, as I like to call it. Exactly like Kuribo's shoe, but different. You're black and white, invincible, always small, and hopping around, but your shoe looks like a green Mario split in half. Awesome.
Permanent regular Mario. No, not invincible — just small. All the time. It's tough being a short, stumpy man.
Introducing…Black and White Mario! This is like having permanent Kuribo's shoe powers, but you always stay small, you don't hop around, you look like Mario, and you're intangible and invincible. You can stomp piranha plants too.

If that black and white Mario's what I think it is, keep in mind that you can't enter any pipes while using it.

Yes. It is. I hate Metal Mario.

Dude you are amazing! What I tried is I took your code ANKXGLIE and changed the A to a P. This had a weird effect. It made me invincible and it let me keep whatever power up I had on me at the time I turned on the code. So get the powerup you want to keep before you turn on the code. Post more of SMB3 Codes if you can thanks!

Here are some graphic codes for SMB3:
IIIOKK-Black Glitchy World and Map
NNNOKK-Same as above but slight changes
ZZZOKK-Same description as above
IANOXG-Everything has diferent strips of colors (for instence, outside it's green and in warp pipe secret rooms the coins are cool colors. that will do with bricks inside the pipes to.)

I do allot of emulation & the one site (will not use their name to protect their rep) I use to get my old Game Genie & Game Shark codes for platforms like the Nintendo Game boy & Color Game boy, Sega Game Gear & Genises no longer post these codes. There is no official site for the Game Genie & Game Shark no longer posts retro systems codes. Please do you know any sites that have large collections of the old console/hand held Game Genie/Game Shark codes? It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Bill A. Hickman III

March 8th, 2009 at 5:09 am
AOSUZI-Pull Ice Blocks Out Of Thin Air
USAUSA-Red, White, Blue, and Gray colors, backed up with multiple enemies.
SLXPLOVS-Infinite Lives for Mario and Luigi(will look like four, but when you lose one, it goes down 0
SXEZSKOZ-Moonwalking
SXEZSKOX-Alternate to above
TEUXKGAA-Start Game as Hammer Bro. Mario
IEUXKGAA-Start Game as Tanooki Mario
GEUXKGAA-Start Game as Frog Mario
NXKXGLIE-Start and Stay as Raccoon Mario
OEPZXZ-Every visible point on screen is now worth a 1-up
KEGKEL-Large holes appear in the ground of every level
AOZULT-Try this code on every world. This code will make you go to START as a level 0, or lost level. There is a different one in each world.
YLXPLOVS-Lives double when you die in an action panel or wandering hammer brother.
KOSUZI-Like AOSUZI, you can pull blocks from scenery, only this time, they're not ice blocks. They create holes in the ground, so be careful.
KKKZSPIU-DEBUG!!!! Every world. Press Select While in an action panel to change through all mario powerups. When Pressing A or B, press select simultaneously for unlimit'd Goomba's Shoe. TO CHOOSE WHAT WORLD YOU GO TO-On the start screen(Super Mario Bros 3, 1 Player, 2 Player) You will notice that there is a little red cursor on one of the bushes. Push down 7 times to go to world 8, 6 times for world 7, and so on. WAIT! That wasn't the best part-Your inventory is filled with every single mario powerup in the book! Last to pages are bursting with P(PataPata)Wings.
Finally-YEUXKGAA-Starts Mario out as a cloud. When you pass over a level, YOU TURN RED!!! It's permanent. You can't skip airships or Hammer Bros, though. When entering a level, Mario is a big gray blob that swims. If you get hurt, you return to Super Mario.
