As of present, there's a pretty large gap in the information on Super Mario Bros. Special; namely, the levels of the back 75%-or-so-give-or-take-a-level of the game. World 3 has an article, but only 1 level in it has an article... And worlds 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 all lack articles altogether, alongside all the levels within them. This isn't too surprising, given how remote the platforms the game is for are (the PC-88 and Sharp X1), as well as the general Jank (Affectionate)™ of the whole game. However, it's high time someone does something about it, right?

Fortunately, images won't be that hard. mariouniverse.com has had maps for the x1 version for a good long while and our pre-existing articles have used (and cited!) these maps. We've already taken the liberty of downloading the missing levels' maps, and running them through PNGMonstrous. We can upload these trivially. The main issues would be getting screenshots of the levels themselves in action (especially high-quality ones, not ones taken from a video), and of course, actually writing the articles for them.

If you need a running total, just check here if we forgot to update this thread. Otherwise! (Strikethough means it doesn't exist, underline means stub.)
  • World 3: -1, -2, -3, -4
  • World 4: -1, -2, -3, -4
  • World 5: -1, -2, -3, -4
  • World 6: -1, -2, -3, -4
  • World 7: -1, -2, -3, -4
  • World 8: -1, -2, -3, -4
We plan to start with Worlds 3 and 4, so if you want to claim anything to help out with, uh, don't pick those. ;P
