So, which do you open?

It literally don't matter, RNGs don't work that way.

You can save state and repeatedly pick the same chest and your prize will be different every time.

> So yeah, basically what happens is this. Depending on what Toad House you are in you receive different items. If the identifier of the Toad House you are in is between 1 and 5 you will always receive the same item (like the Frog Suit, no matter what box you pick, in the first Toad House of World 3). Toad Houses with higher IDs offer three random items. What item you receive is determined only after you open a box. So, in fact only the box you open is filled. The other two boxes are never touched. They are total smoke screens whose only purpose is to fool the player into believing he actually takes part in the decision what item to receive.

the game's code randomly decides the item given only after opening a chest, meaning there's no advantage to pick a chest over the others

>No one actually answers

Usually the middle one but I randomly might pick one of the others. In the end, it doesn't matter. As another anon said, you can realize it doesn't matter, in world 3 you always get the frog suit no matter what.

I remember that Earthbound quote from Dungeon Man, something about 70% of people always pick left first when coming across a fork

First left every time.

(Proper answer is reloading world 6 repeatedly for them sweet sweet hammer suits)

Isn't it the same no matter what?

Always Center anyway.

You're telling me the Toad houses in world 3 aren't guaranteed frog suits?

Mario 3 offers profound insight into the illusion of choice.
