If you think SMB3 is too hard, let me introduce you to a few wrist-slitting games called TMNT, Battletoads, Kid Icarus, and Contra. There were many games harder than SMB3 on NES, by comparison its difficulty level is rather moderate.
Kids now have it too easy.
Anyway, it's not fair to compare SMB3 to games that came out long after it. You have to take video games in context according to when they released and SMB3 was ground-breaking. Shit, it's still one of my favorite platformers and beats the hell out of NSMB (that's also great though).
