Manufacturer's Description
A New Look at Mario as He Jumps into 3D
Past Mario™ games have let the blue-suspendered hero roam around fully rendered 3D landscapes. Now, for the first time, players can see true depth of their environment without the need for special glasses. Super Mario™ is a 3D evolution of classic Mario platforming featuring new level designs and challenges.
3D visuals make it easier for players to judge the depths and distances in their environments. Players can more accurately judge the jump to the next platform or how far Mario is from a question block.
Features:
- New and familiar abilities add unique game-play strategies to the adventure. Mario can perform a rolling somersault attack or run fast with a dash move. Or, as Tanooki Mario, he can use his tail to hover, perform floating jumps or attacks.
- The Circle Pad gives players complete control to confidently move Mario through fun and challenging environments.
- New enemies include Goombas with tails, tall stacks of Goombas and a Piranha Plant that spits ink to obscure a player’s view.
Product Description
Please note a 3DS console is required to play
Mario veterans will have played a 3D Mario game before, but not like this!
Super Mario sees Mario travel into a 3D world where, for the first time, you can see the depth of the land, rather than a rendered 3D game where depth perception can be tricky!
Pulling from Mario games of yesteryear, Super Mario exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS will feature abilities that Mario fans have been asking for to make a return such as the Tanooki tail, giving Mario the ability to hover, glide and attack.
Mario will also gain some new moves in Super Mario to add to his impressive repertoire such as the Somersault attack and the ability to run faster with the dash move.
- Circle pad controls giving you more fluid and accurate controls as you adventure into the 3D world of Super Mario
- All-new enemies will try to hamper Mario including Goombas with Tails, stacks of Goombas and a new Piranha Plant that spits ink at the camera
- New moves and some old ones to despatch the latest bunch of Goomba goons that really make Mario, Super Mario!
- Better depth and distance perception thanks to the glasses free 3D of the Nintendo 3DS in Mario's all-new adventure!

Fun:
I received this today and have not been able to out it down! This game is stunning to look at, with every little bit of the worlds highly detailed and fun in their own ways.
You have different power ups to aid Mario in his quest to once again, save Peach. These include a Tanooki Suit, Boomerang Flower and more!
The levels are quite big and you can wander off the trail to see what might be hiding in a corner(ranging from star medals to an extra life) so you can take your time going through each level. Yes, you do have a timer but you do come across the odd time extender(100 extra seconds) so you have more than enough time to check out the level as much as you like.
The music is typical Mario, flawless and perfect, very happy and uplifting.
I will play this time and time again, it's a real treat. Plus this game has been designed with the 3D to really help in levels, sometimes it's the difference between making a jump, and falling down a hole!
If you are looking for the perfect 3DS game, this is it! Well done, Nintendo!

Fun:
The latest iteration in the Mario franchise is an excellent one, the first original handheld Mario platformer to make the transition to 3D; not only in the sense that it makes use of the Nintendo 3DS' stereoscopic 3D but also in the sense of it being a 3D platformer in the style of Super Mario 64 and the Super Mario Galaxy games rather than the traditional 'two-dimensional' side-scrolling mario games like the original NES games and New Super Mario Bros on the Nintendo DS.
It's clear that Nintendo have learnt the lessons of those excellent earlier games and applied them to this one, the levels are brilliantly designed and great fun to play. The early levels are perhaps a bit easier than previous Mario games, meaning that even young children should be able to make a respectable amount of progress, though the challenge starts to increase notably as you reach the final levels and even more when you unlock the 'special' levels. Further challenge is added when you start to collect the three hidden star coins in each level (a necessity if you want to unlock some of the special levels).
The game makes up for its gentle learning curve through sheer amount of content (by my count there are 99 levels, excluding the mini 'mystery block' rooms). The game also makes very nice use of the 3DS' streetpass features; If you have your 3DS on you and walk near another 3DS owner who owns the game their Mii will appear in your game and set up helpful mushroom houses or mystery blocks. You'll also receive their best times for the levels that they've completed. Trying to beat the times of the various 3DS owners that I'd walked past through the course of a day certainly added to the longevity of the game for me.
All in all this is one of the best 3DS titles currently available and along with Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars (Nintendo 3DS) is probably the game that I've put the most one-player time into. I wholeheartedly recommend it. Super Mario 3D Land achieves the remarkable feat of being accessible enough for young kids and challenging enough for seasoned Mario players. Definitely worth your while.

Fun:
This game is a great mix of new and old mario. The new 3D adds a new dimension to playing, you have to look quite hard to find all the extra coins and lives. But they've also bought in few things I loved from the original games, such as tanooki Mario from Mario Bros 3 on the NES. If you struggle on a level for too long, a white tanooki is issued, helping you to complete the level with a bit more ease.
The graphics of the game are stunning, as is the game play itself. Each level is different and uses different things from previous games. The flipping panels are back, thwomps are there with tanooki tails and also giant bowser with all his annoying fireballs.
Mario fans will love the game for bringing back some of the bits that made previous mario games so great and new players will love that you can simply pick up and play the game. I'd certainly say this is mario at his best on the 3DS!
