Review Super Mario 3D Land (3DS)
Tanooki time
Super Mario has been a staple of Nintendo systems since the original NES over 26 years ago, and while the series has evolved to a great degree over time, one immutable fact remains: Mario games sell systems. That's why it comes as no real surprise that the plumber's first foray onto 3DS has been about as hyped as any game in recent...

Talking Point Super Mario 3D Land Turns 10 - Was It The Best '3D' Game On 3DS?
The golden era of stereoscopic 3D
Ten years ago on 3rd November 2011, Super Mario 3D Land made its debut on 3DS in Japan. It's not typically held up or remembered as a glorious entry of the Mario series — indeed, at the time of writing it inexplicably doesn't rank on our dynamic reader-rated list of the 50 best 3DS games — but several of us in...

News The Top 10 Best-Selling 3DS Games (As Of December 2018)
Pokémon here, Pokémon there
As part of its Q3 2019 financial update, Nintendo has provided up-to-date lists for its best-selling games across current consoles. We've already shared the current top ten best-selling Switch games, but what about the 3DS? Well, as it happens, the top ten 3DS games are exactly the same now as they were three month
Previews
It's all about perspective
The last time we played Super Mario 3D Land, we came away confident that Nintendo was taking its mascot forward, as our preview explained. That was based on a four level demo but we've since played the game's opening two worlds, so does that first impression still hold true? Well, it all depends on your point of view...
Piping hot
Nintendo could have gone in any number of directions with its first Mario outing on 3DS: an enhanced remake of a previous game a la Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, an extension of the Super Mario Galaxy series or a sequel to the mega-selling New Super Mario Bros.. It's done none of these, or possibly all of them at once. For a start,...

About The Game
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.
FEATURES:
- 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.
- 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.

the screen shots on this game look awesome im am going to get this game.
.............................................................................................................................................. OHMYGOSH!
ROTFSOMFG ROLLING ON THE FLOOR SAYING OH MY FREAKING GOD
super mario 3ds will be just like the super mario bros and super mario galaxy!
What three Mario games for 3DS, won't happen this side of Christmas.......
I bet it will be like mario sunshine
I hope this going to be like super mario 64 ds and that the super mario bros is going to be a 2d platformer e.g NSMB
yeah! dis is sweeeet!! must have for 3ds!
Mario kart and this will be on my wish list! they will probably boost the sales of the 3DS when they come out, OoT too.
Right now these are my 4 favorite games that I'm getting till august 2 and lower...animal crossing wild world (acww),mario kart 7 3ds,paper mario 3ds,and super mario 3d land......These are my favorite!! I can't wait for this to come out especially,mario kart 7 with 16 brand new courses!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is going to be so awesome!!!
Hopefully they bring back the Hammer Suit too
This looks like it has the potential to be my favorite Mario game. I can't wait to play it!
I hope it will have some areas in 2D... like SMG2
when i looked at the star screen shot i fliped
racoons tail plus no flying = why bother... wow now i don't need to be accurate to hit enemies i can just spin around. other than that it looks like a polished title. ADD FLYING!
i.... want... this... now )
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ITS COMING OUT NEXT MONTH! I CANT WAIT ANY LONGER!!
No it's not, calm down.
i can't wait!! its close to my bithday so im gonna hint towards this so someone hopefully buys it for me so i can spend my money on mario kart 7 :3
still waiting for its release.......
@19 at the time of my comment it said on super mario wiki that it was coming out this month in europe. WHY HAVE THEY PUSHED IT BACK? WHY? why.
I just pre ordered it 2 day
@JakeTheChao It was never planned to launch this month. One of Nintendo's press sites had the game pegged down for the end of the year, but for some reason, they randomly gave it an August date. They did the same with Skyward Sword and Fortune Street, and we know that's obviously not right. Super Mario Wiki took information they knew was wrong and published it anyway, which they shouldn't have done.
This game is really starting to look like SMB3. With the airship, the big koopa dude, and the fact that you fall from the sky after you beat him (And besides the obvious Tanooki suit)...LOVE IT!
GOING TO BLOW MY MIND I WANT THIS GAME Imagine mario in a 3d land with old power ups they should include other playble characters like birdo that would be the bomb
omg
For my birthday I got a homemade 3ds game coupon. I've been planning on using it on this when it comes out in November. My birthday was in April.
I'm obviously getting this game. I just fear that it will be too short and too easy. Those are the feelings I get based on the previews and the fact that they're adding 3D effects (thus less overall levels due to time loss).
Oh ya numba thirty!
This year im gettin:
super mario 3d land, mariokart 7, starfox 64 3d, and luigi's mansion 2(febuary)
I already have SUPER Street Fighter IV(10/10), Ridge Racer 3D(9/10), LEGO Pirates of the Carribean(7/10), LoZ Ocarina of Time(59.8/10), and Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D(9/10).
I'd need to play a demo first, but it looks like it has potential.
Looks like its gonna be fire
PREORDERED IT NOW!!!!!!!!
Here is a trailer...

hope you ppl like!
Super Mario 3D Land will be a real must have!!
i preorder super mario 3d land
I love this game but how come all the new mario games have to reffer back to super mario bros.3 im not saying i dont like the game but its always always about SMB.3
I hope that it will be a cross between Super Mario Galaxy and Regular Super Mario Bros, and it looks like it is!!!!!
This might buy me a 3dsy66666666666666666666666 (hey, a cat on my keyboard is not getting the attention he wants. Well, blame NL)
i just pre ordered super mario 3d land

preordered! :D
I am not convinced that that is the Tanooki Suit in the game. Why is this you may ask well it is simple we don't see Mario as a stature. If I remember the suit right it turns Mario to stone for a brief bit.
Just finished paying off my preorder yesterday. I traded in a bunch of stuff and put the value towards my preorders on SM3DL & MK7.
BTW, is anyone else around here a HISHE fan?
added you now
This and skyward sword on the same day 0_O nintendo really know how to make me broke forthe rest of the month!
11 more days... come on clock.

Annoying since its the only current game that will interest me before MK7 comes out on the 2nd...

Now Pre-ordered!!!!!!!!!
I preordered today and I was so happy that I preordered mario kart 7 and brought zelda aswell
Getting it tomorrow like a boss
I got it today is the best
i played it at walmart. i thought it would be like super mario sunshine but it isnt at all! (thats a good thing by the way)
I beat the game in a month!
I give 91%. without special game: 82% I really like the boomerang suit
Based off what I'm (hopefully) getting back on my tax returns, after the few important things I have to take care of for with my car, I am definately going to be buying a 3DS along with Mario 3DsLand, and Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time 3D! It'll definately give me something to keep occupied for awhile between them both! So here's hoping to getting enough returned to cover it all! I'll let yas all know!
Wow Just passed 10 full years already eh? How time really does fly! I'm just so glad the official sequal is FINALLY coming! What exactly is the plot? Meaning; why is Luigi back in mansions, Whats professor E. Gadds reasoning etc?
My couson said it was awseome so it should be really good!!!
You rock man.
i want this game so baaad even my screen name says it! if you have not seen videos you are missing out,look up mario 3d land at nintendo e shop
Dear Nintendo,
Please make "Wario Land 3D"
Thank You!
@blueboom
add me and i add you i all ready added you so add me on 3007-8940-0982
I played sm3dl and the wide depth 3d is awesome.
To me, this game can be quite hard on some levels. Other levels are almost too easy. But it's a Mario game.... you gotta love it!
and i also played super mario 3d land and the 3d is awesome and how the levels looks cool (my fc is 122062033774 seriously this game is cool
I like this game.it has cool levels and power ups.but a lot of times this game can tick me off.some levels are hard and make no sense
Can't wait to get this game. I think that there should be Luigi specific games for the 3DS. Why does only the Wii U get Luigi's glory?
GRR LOST MY PIN# FOR THIS GAME!!!!!! ugh! does anyone have it?
This was the reason i wanted a 3DS when i bought mine 4 years ago and was the 1st 3DS game i bought.
Super Mario 3D Land still remains my Fave 3DS game.
Even though I own NSMB2 I want this game because I already beat NSMB2.
so help pls P.s I have hey pikmin blah blah but who cares?
Looking back,
