Adventure Island 3 (NES) Playthrough – NintendoComplete
A playthrough of Hudson Soft’s 1992 NES game, Adventure Island 3.
AI3 was the final game in the NES series to be released in the west: the fourth and final “Takahasi-meijin” game appeared only in its native Japan.
This one is a fantastic classical platformer, no doubt, and I love it to pieces, but I admit I was a little disappointed the first time I played it. I played Adventure Island II to death with my mom when it was new, and it still is easily a top 10 NES game pick for me.
The third game is extremely similar to the second, though, and the similarities make for a double-edged sword. On one hand, the mechanics, colorful graphics, smooth control, level design, bouncy catchy music, and steep difficulty ramping are all present and accounted for.
There is an awesome new dinosaur friend and a new bonus mini-game, and many of the sprites have been updated. However, in many ways, it’s got so much copy-and-pasted that it feels more like AI 2 Remix than it does a whole new game. I mean, even some of the same music tracks are included – not remixed, but pulled directly out of two and plunked into 3. Like I said, I really like both, but given the massive improvements seen between the first two games, I expected something a bit more revolutionary – or even evolutionary – than a green dinosaur that can roll.
Oh well. It was probably a cheaply produced cash-in (maybe all of the real effort went to Super Adventure Island released the same year?), but you like platformers, you can’t go wrong. It’s a high-point for the late-gen NES release calendar in terms of the polish on its mechanics and presentation.
There was a Game Boy port released as well called Adventure Island II: Aliens in Paradise. The original AI wasn’t put on the GB but the second was, hence the odd numbering.
In case you’re wondering, AI4 went in an extremely different direction than the earlier games, resembling a Metroidvania title more than the Wonderboy arcade template still in use here.

Adventure island never played right to me. You always had a sort of momentum like you were always on an ice level of mario
Bro at 2:35 if you go down and shoot at wall it will become hole and you can skip the level
IMO this was the best adventure island they made, i loved the dinosaurs, the variety of mobs, bosses and levels were really good. I think i spent years on this game and finished it only once or twice when i was a kid
este juego es mi infancia♥
The last time I played this game was 2002 until 2009 🤗🤗🤗 I truly miss this game! Makes me wanna play again thanks for uploading this video Comrade!

I use to be addicted to this game as a kid.After all this years i still remember all sounds , including them annoying frogs😁.There are so many secret eggs hidden. Once i discovered that i was bunny hopping pretty much everywhere I could in this game😁
Volvi a tener 9 años con este video <3
Damn , the memories played this back in the day , I remember the furthest I was able to get was to that flame worm.in a volcano, but the most intense bossfight was the crocodile underwater, damn I was like 3-4years old.and I still remember this
