I honestly had no idea this secret existed. Heck, I booted up today SMB3 to try this.

Wow and here I am, thinking the treasure ships were well known...

That'd be cool if they added secrets like these in Mario Maker 2

In Super Mario Maker, I attempted to duck on a white panel in a SMB3 level. After a few seconds, Mario made a noise and had a small bounce on the block. It was a nice touch.

I got a treasure ship once, and it blows my mind at all the stuff I accidentally did to make it happen.

The new fact to me was unchaining the chain chomp - I had no idea you could do that!

I wish modern games had Easter eggs like this.

They do. 3D World has a huge amount of different easter eggs, for example.

I've never managed to beat the game as a kid but got that treasure ship several times. There's a tribute of that bonus stage in Super Mario 3D World.

Yeah, but it wouldn't be the same in internet times. "Everyone" would know about them before launch. You can't be the cool guy to know about then before your friends.
