This and the following Stages have nothing to do with Mario anymore (Music / Enemies). Still, I really like the design of this level. Compared to later ones you're at least able to tell what things are in the fore- and background.
Say hello to the new enemies which are:

- Flying bees that drop honey on you. In Stage 5 at a certain point they get really annoying. Also how does Honey hurt Mario? Does he have diabetes or something?

- Monkeys in a barrel that throw bananas at you

- Some kind of crate monster. It starts walking as soon as you're near but most of the time you'll get hit since you check any crate for health items and fireballs anyways
They only appear like once or twice in the game.

- Green Bats. Just like the bees, they'll get annoying soon enough.

- Fishes. Time your jump correctly on the logs and they shouldn't be a problem.

Stage 3's first part is quite easy, the only thing that might trouble you is the jump at the end. You have to be on the far edge to make it. You can also take the upper path but I personly always go for the crates...even though there's nothing under them.

The second part is a little bit more tricky. As you can see they added water to the Stage. You'll mainly jump from log to log. The ones in the air are simple to use. The logs which are located in the water must be jumped across at the right moment. Otherwise you jump to low and lose a life.

Hope you listened to my advise and safed the fireballs. This pig creature at the end can be quite annoying. The only way in hurting it next to using fireballs is by throwing the vase back at it. The water drops can be tricky to avoid and the boss goes into beserk mode sometimes, too.

In this Walkthrough NO Save States were used. It shows how you're able to beat the game the normal way.

I'm familiar with the game and try to give as much advice as possible. I can't promise to find everything. This is supposed to be a helpful guide through the game and not a 100% run.
