Part 3: One of the best known secrets in Nintendo video games may be shown as a pattern of information in the 1985 sci-fi comedy film Back To The Future. The first world (Grass Land) fortress location of one of three warp whistles hidden throughout the video game Super Mario Bros. 3 was famously shown in the ending tournament scene of 1989 adventure comedy The Wizard.

- Actual Nintendo games can be seen in Back To The Future Part II (1989) in the antique shop window in the movie opening in 2015. Boxes for Jaws, R.C. PRO-AM & Burgertime are visible.
- Wild Gunman arcade cabinet is present and involved in a scene in this sequel. The NES version used one of the more popular add-on inputs for the system, the Light Zapper. The Power Glove, another majorly hyped Nintendo controller accessory was shown in The Wizard (1989).
- The Back To The Future movies became Nintendo games themselves, courtesy publisher LJN.
- Doc Brown actor Christopher Lloyd has a huge connection to Nintendo's Super Mario Bros. through his role in 1988 live action / animation film Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Bob Hoskins played detective Eddie Valiant in this and later played Mario in the 1993 live action Super Mario Bros. movie.

00:00We're talking about knowledge of the future in movies, YouTube channel, Easter Egg Psychic.
00:05It's one of the best-known secrets in Nintendo video games, located within the First World
00:12Fortress of Super Mario Bros. 3, 1988. That's the orange castle-looking structure in the middle
00:21of the world map. You'll find here one of three warp whistles. These are hidden throughout the
00:31game. Located at the end of the first scrolling part of this stage, you'll find a question mark
00:39block next to a window. Inside this is a power-up item, the super leaf. This will give Mario the
00:48ability to fly, and he sprouts a tail. His appearance changes as he dons the raccoon or a tanuki suit.
00:58An enemy can be found here named Dry Bones, and he's a skeleton type of Koopa Troopa, the
01:05turtles, which are common enemies in the Mario game series. At the end of this passageway,
01:11there happens to be enough room so that you can get Mario to get up to speed and fly.
01:18There's a secret space directly above this area. There's a doorway here. You're transported
01:26to a secret room where there is a treasure chest. Inside this is one of the three warp whistles.
01:36This is added to your inventory, and when used, a magic toon and whirlwind whisks Mario away
01:44to the warp zone, which you can choose to skip ahead to another major world. This trick was
01:52famously shown in the ending video game tournament in the 1989 adventure comedy film The Wizard. I did
02:00some thinking about this, and I believe that it can be shown as a pattern of information in several
02:07movies, which predate the Japanese 1988 release. 1985 science fiction comedy Back to the Future,
02:17directed by Robert Zemeckis, co-written by Bob Gale, and featuring Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd,
02:25Leah Thompson, Crispin Glover, Thomas F. Wilson. What's interesting about the Back to the Future trilogy is
02:33that actual Nintendo games can be seen here, and they're present in the opening of sequel Back to
02:41the Future 2 in 1989. They're in the antique shop front window in the hill valley town square in 2015.
02:51Several boxes for Nintendo cartridges, including Jaws, Burger Time, and RC Pro-Am. And the arcade cabinet for
03:02Nintendo's Wild Gunman is present in the Cafe 80s. This is significant because when this was released on the
03:11Famicom and NES in 84 and 85, it was designed to work with one of the more popular peripheral input
03:20devices,
03:22Nintendo marketed the Zapper electronic light gun. If you'll recall, another hugely hyped Nintendo
03:30peripheral, the Power Glove, was featured in The Wizard. And Back to the Future itself was a 1989 Nintendo game
03:40published by LJN. Now, Doc Brown, actor Christopher Lloyd, has a major connection to Super Mario Bros.
03:48is through the 1988 combination animation live-action comedy, Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
03:58Also directed by Robert Zemeckis with Bob Hoskins, Charles Fleischer, and Kathleen Turner. Hoskins,
04:07of course, later played Mario in the 1993 live-action Super Mario Bros. movie. John Leguizamo,
04:16Dennis Hopper, Samantha Mathis were also in this. My YouTube channel is Easter Egg Psychic. There I go
04:23back and look at movies and television from the past. I analyze these for possible references to future media.
04:29These may appear in the form of anecdotes, idioms, anagrams. Hidden in the subtext of the work in question, I
04:36also use an unconventional
04:38method where I look at the likenesses of the actors.
04:43And what I found is you can take the likenesses, match these up to some of the anecdotal items, and
04:48show past, present,
04:50and future information about actors and other personalities that may resemble the personalities in the movie or television episode that
04:59you're watching.
