Super Mario Bros. 3: No Autoscrolls is a fan-made modification of the original Super Mario Bros. 3 for the Nintendo Entertainment System. This hack removes all autoscrolling elements, allowing players to navigate levels at their own pace. Certain levels, such as 1-4 and various castles, are modified to enhance gameplay without the constraints of autoscroll. Players may require power-ups for specific levels like 5-9.
Super Mario Bros. 3 is already an amazing game, but some levels just take a bit too long to complete. This hack addresses this by patching out all of the autoscrolling, allowing you to complete those levels at your own pace! This affects all of the normal levels with autoscrolling (such as 1-4 and 3-6), castles (due to limitations you start each of these levels directly on the airship, skipping the Toad cutscene), and the world 8 military stages.
Note that there are two IPS patches. Due to the nature of level 5-9 it is impossible to complete without a P-wing or tail with the autoscrolling disabled. If you would prefer to not have this requirement use the (Except 5-9) patch to retain the autoscrolling in this level only.

Version 1.1 Edit: All Coin Heaven bonus areas now have autoscrolling removed.
