Bob Chipman
More than a strategy guide, bigger than a retrospective, Super Mario Bros. 3: Brick by Brick is a whole new look at one of the greatest video games of all time. Film critic and game journalist Bob Chipman (creator of Escape to The Movies, The Big Picture, and The Game OverThinker) attempts the most in-depth analysis ever of his all-time favorite game, Super Mario Bros. 3.
The 205-page book chronicles his own most recent journey through every step of the game (missteps and all) while analyzing every element of this enduring NES classic for its artistic, cultural, and even historical significance.
He also details the history of the Super Mario franchise itself, his own experiences growing up gaming, and many of the life-changing events that surrounded and shaped this latest quest to save The Mushroom Kingdom.
