Description:
Featuring a fresh set of vivid, newly themed worlds, The Rainbow Realms is a complete 8 world hack, with level design aimed to emulate the style and creativity of the original SMB3. The difficulty curve is aimed at the average to good player of SMB3, though there are some challenging levels and a couple of difficult puzzles in the last few worlds.
Good luck, and enjoy the exploration of this colourful collection of levels!

A Colorful & Balanced Journey
Reviewed By: Fireorb on 08 Dec 2022Super Mario Bros 3 was perhaps the crowning achievement of the NES library. It expanded upon the Mario universe in an unparalleled fashion adding more content than you could shake a raccoon tail at. But now, three decades later, you know all the secrets and have many of the levels memorized…What’s left to experience?
How about 8 BRAND NEW worlds never seen before?! Stunning colors stand out in every world of The Rainbow Realms while the balanced and interesting level design solidify this custom level set as one of the best for SMB3.
If I strained to say anything negative it would be that the puzzle levels were sometimes unreasonable. Needing complex and/or obscure solutions in the middle of what’s otherwise an entirely platformer-centric design stuck out and was the only remarkable lowlight.
5/5 Stars for me. Full playthrough available on YouTube @ The Fireorb Mod Museum
