Just another thing I realized: Grass Land's fortress introduces us to a new category of levels, which are the fortresses. Previous levels were categorized by cyan-and-black panels that have a number on them. These two categories are distinct not only for their map icons, but for the enemies and level style.
@Gatete I noticed that when I was playing SMA4, which is pretty nice to see! I also noticed some other changes they made, most of which are to make the game easier (I feel like some weren't necessary, like what they did to World 1-4, but ah well). While we're focusing on the NES version of SMB3 (as I think that's what people are most familiar with and I can't really find good maps for the other versions), it's alright to point out changes they've made in the remakes.
