In this game, crouching can only be done when in at least Super Form. In 1-3, you need to crouch on the white block for a few seconds before dropping into the background and running to the end. My only issue was that I couldn't get either of the Warp Whistles in this world. I did a couple of casual playthroughs with Power Ups before doing this challenge just to get back into the groove of the game. Now that all the rules are set, let's a go! I can skip any level that's unbeatable via the aforementioned items on the map. I AM allowed to use the items below, as they can only be used on the map screen and not in levels: 1Up Mushrooms ARE okay to use, since extra lives can be earned through other means.

I may not use any of the following items, whether in levels or on the map screen: And Super Mario Bros 2 doesn't really have much in the way of Power Ups, which leaves the third game. I chose not to do the first Super Mario Bros because quite frankly, PLENTY of speedrunners have beaten the game without Power Ups. Now I decided to do the challenge with a classic Mario game: Super Mario Bros 3.

Near the end of 2020, I created several posts about whether or not you could beat New Super Mario Bros Wii without Power Ups, and many of you liked them.
