'''''Nintendo Power'' issue 9''' is the ninth volume of ''[[Nintendo Power]]'', released in November/December, 1989. It covers ''[[Super Mario Land]]'', ''[[Alleyway]]'', ''[[Baseball]]'', and ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''.

Page 3 contains an image of [[Mario]] holding an issue of ''Nintendo Power''.

Movie ''[[List of references in film#The Wizard|The Wizard]]'' is covered on the 90th page in the section NES Journal. A still from the movie shows the gameplay of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', stating that "the big event pits the finalists against each other on ''Super Mario Bros. 3''", and that "it will give you a great chance to get a preview of ''Super Mario Bros. 3''". The next page says Fred Savage got to preview ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' early thanks to his role in the film. He gave it a 5 on Theme & Fun and 4 1/2 on Graphics and Sound, but "was a little tougher on the Challenge and Play Control". It is also stated that he made it to World 2-1 in the first weekend, and that he thinks "the B Button jump maneuver was hard to regulate". He gave the game an overwhelming "thumbs up", and offered a tip: "watch out for [[Pile Driver Micro-Goomba|fake bricks]] in World 2 Level 1". ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' is also listed as a game to complete next in a Celebrity Power Player Profile.

''[[How to Win at Super Mario Bros.]]'' (misspelled as ''How to Win At Super Mario Bros.'') is advertised on 96th page.

''"If you're up for a challenge, you can play this classic in a whole new way. Wave your left hand to move your character and shake your right hand to jump and fire. It's like rubbing your belly and patting your head at the same time, so it could take some practice."''
