This led to a long-standing rumor that the game was stage play put on by the Mario cast, an idea later confirmed by series creator Shigeru Miyamoto.

Additionally, the end of most levels features Mario traveling 'off-stage' on a black backdrop to complete them. The game features a unique stage play-esque aesthetic, with objects being bolted to the background or suspended by ropes, and casting drop-shadows. The game has gone on to become one of the most influential titles for the Mario franchise, and several elements introduced in this title have since become franchise mainstays, including landscape-themed worlds, the Koopalings, airships, and Toad Houses. These core mechanics are iterated upon, featuring greatly expanded levels, several new power-ups, new enemies and bosses, a more fleshed-out multiplayer mode, a world map, and many optional levels and secrets. 3 retains the same level-based platformer mechanics of previous titles.
