Super Mario Bros. 3 is a classic game developed and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). The game features the iconic characters Mario and Luigi on a quest to save Princess Toadstool from the villainous Bowser and his Koopalings. The game is critically acclaimed and sold 18 million copies worldwide.

The game includes a feature known as Warp Whistles, which are hidden items that allow the player to skip to different worlds. There are three Warp Whistles in the game, and here’s how you can find them:

First Warp Whistle: In Level 1-3, progress through the level until you come across a white block (there’s a red Koopa Troopa walking on it). Kill the Koopa Troopa, then stand on the white block and duck down for five seconds, you will then fall behind the scenery. Now, quickly run to the end of the level and you will be taken to a Mushroom House where you can get the warp whistle from the only treasure chest.

Second Warp Whistle: Enter the World 1 Fortress as Raccoon Mario/Luigi (or collect the leaf at the beginning of the level). Progress until you see the ceiling open up. From here, get some velocity and fly up to land on top of the ceiling. You can’t see yourself, but run to the end, then press and you’ll appear in a secret room with a treasure chest which contains the warp whistle.

Third Warp Whistle: One of the Boomerang Bros. in World 2 leaves behind a Hammer when defeated. Use the Hammer item on the top right corner of the map to reveal a secret path going to the right. There, beat the Fire Bros. hiding in this part to acquire the last warp whistle.

These Warp Whistles can be used to access a special warp zone map, allowing you to warp to another world. The world you can warp to depends on which world you use the warp whistle in. If you wish, you can complete the game very quickly by collecting both whistles from World 1, using one, then using the other while in the warp zone, which allows you to instantly go to World 8.
