320kb for SMB1 and 3000kb (3 Mb is 3/8 of a MegaByte, less than half) for SMB3
The 1st Metroid game by comparison used 556.5 kb only slightly more than SMB1
for comparison something like this is 70 megabytes (560 megabits) in size

I just don't understand it at all
Not sure about file size for SNES successors like Super Mario World or Super Metroid but I'm betting even they were smaller than 70 MB in size.
Where is all this data going? Would be cool to see a list of all the kb/kB/mb/mB sizes of games tbh
Nowadays all the top games seem to be "dozens of gigabytes" it's kinda overwhelming. I'm not actually sure the gameplay is getting that much better, most of it just seems like eye porn
