Super Mario Flash 3 has the most different themes than any other SMF game (grass, cave, castle, lava, etc.), also, it has unique features, such invisible block, lock vertical/horizontal scroll, levelmode changing scrolls, advance coins, etc. Super Mario Flash 3 has more than 2000 tiles, over 100 sprites, 21 sounds (Bowser defeat sound and title sound has no number set, so their playing everywhere is impossible. 19 is a custom music), about 40 backgrounds and a few other settings.
Samples are very helpful for newcomers, who don't know how to use many things, such as big bushes, outdoor castles, !-switches, etc.
