A purrfect blend
Super Mario 3D World is a brave release as it strives, without any hint of apology, to hit on a formula to satisfy the majority of 2D platforming fans and the smaller — but still sizeable — legion of 3D Mario devotees. Many enjoy both, of course, yet they’ve always been distinct experiences that often lead to a clear...
About The Game
For the first time ever, Nintendo has created a four-player Mario game set in a 3D world.
The game, developed by the same team that created Super Mario 3D Land for Nintendo 3DS and the Super Mario Galaxy games for Wii, lets up to four players play as Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach and Toad. Each character has his or her own unique characteristics, and people can play cooperatively or competitively. The new cat transformation turns characters into adorable felines that can scratch enemies and even scamper up the flagpole at the end of levels. Clear warp pipes add some new puzzle elements to game play.

Yes! Finally a new 3D Mario game coming for Wii U! I can't wait to check out its neat HD visuals and gamepad capabilities! This is a good preview! I hope other people are as excited as I am for this!
AHhh I'm so beyond excited! Especially since it's the same team who brought us the Galaxy games.
Better if this has an open HUB and vast worlds to explore, a la Mario 64 & Sunshine. While i really enjoyed the gameplay, I didn't like being somewhat limited on Galaxy.
@Varia01 Are you kidding me i cant wait for this game!! WOO!!
I am SO HYPED for this!!! If only I could go to E3 to play the demo...but anyway this is so amazing!!! I've been longing for a fresh new Mario game and Nintendo has FINALLY ANSWERED!!!
I Wish Super Mario World 3:Returns
I have a feeling it's gonna be called Super Mario 1080.
Can't wait for this!
wow i have the one on the 3DS
I just know this game will be good
@DrewTheFox Feelin' you Bro'!
Hype, man, hype! This title is getting closer and closer to getting revealed! Yeah!
I'm a little disappointed that this didn't show up as a game similar to Galaxy, but now that I read more about this game, I'm now quite excited for it. It looks just as fun as Mario 3D Land (That is a lot of fun) and looks neat in HD. I guess the story for the game is this: Bowser is so mad of how Mario has beaten him several times an plots vengeance. He's so mad, that he's starts tearing apart the world. Peach gets word on this and realizes it is time she stands up for the Mushroom Kingdom. She helps Mario, Luigi, and Toad stop Bowser and his minions from destroying the world just to get to Mario. Just a guess. HYPE!
Clear pipes are good. Cat mario is in yellow 4 playable characters. Mario,Luigi,Peach and Toad!!
All Characters have different Abilitys. Mario~(All round player) Peach~(now a playable character) ( Can hover in the air) Luigi~(Can jump higher than anyone else) Toad~(Can run faster than mario,peach and luigi. Done!!
I want Super Mario 3D LAND (wich my antie hasn't gave me for my birthday 14/4 april) And i want a WII U,Mario Kart 8 and Super магíõ 3D WORLD!!
DO we know anything about the plot yet?
I think they should make smaller coins.
This looks So Awesome!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait to get this... 4 Player Co Op is Amazing!!! This will be much better than the Mario Galaxy Series in my opinion... Because it looks to be a blend of 2 of my all time favorite Mario Games... Super Mario Bros 2 & Mario 64 : )
I CANT WAIT because its 4 player even better then mario 3d land cant wait
At first i was dissapointed that we would not be seeing a new Mario galaxy... but this game looks just so great. if this game also has plenty of levels this will be so great. i just hope this game is longer than Mario 3d land.
More innovation here than Galaxy 2. FACT!!! Well anyways, I'm really looking forward to this! I can't stand the people who call it a rehash. >_>
i hope this has a online play
Please bare with me when I say this, but whats the story in this game? for 30 years Mario and Luigi have been saving the same damsel in distress! Now that the blonde haired Nintendo eye candy is playable who is taking her place in the pink ribbon cage Bowser usually has her in?
@Johnny12 you should also get the new super smash bros!
Looks like a bit of all right!
@miletich3 I get the feeling that it may be called Super Mario 1080p World.
They went down that path for Super Mario "3D" Land" after all and it is Nintendo that we are talking about after all. xD
I see this game as a classic example of why you don't judge a game from it's FIRST trailer. Especially a NINTENDO game. I never doubted its potential and my expectations were STILL surpassed!
I am also surprised by how few comments are here. Especially after that 2nd trailer which gave us a taste of what this game is REALLY made of.
@SockoMario
Back in June I already knew it'd be more innovative than Galaxy 2. Now it just might be more innovative than THE Galaxy.
This game looks like the best mario game yet and in 4 players it is even going to be better. Hd mario and a gorgeous 3d world is awesome. Cant wait to get, Day 1 buy for me.
@NintendoPro64 Agreed.
WII U THE BEST CONSOLE
Wow, are they SERIOUSLY reusing music from 3D Land for this game? I don't hate 3D Land's music, but why are they reusing tracks? They've reused the Retro Mario theme, the Boom Boom boss battle theme, the flag pole victory theme when you beat a castle, the victory theme when you beat a boss, the underground music (slightly remixed), castle theme (remixed, and it sounds great), and I also believe they reused the Starman theme as well. Reusing music bothers me A LOT (and sometimes SFX). Don't get me wrong, I'm still EXTREMELY excited for this game, it's just that I don't think this game is going to be new as we think it is.... But I still think this game will be more original than Galaxy 2.
@SockoMario
The reuse of certain songs was inevitable. The actual levels themselves look pretty fresh. And we should be thankful that they didn't LITERALLY rip the ENTIRE soundtrack from 3D Land like they did for NSMBU and New Super Mario Bros. Wii.
I'll be hosting another Nintendo launch party as I'm the only one of my friends who has a Wii U, but we're all looking forward to this title. Day 1 purchase for me.
@NintendoPro64 And NSMB2.
Seriously, there's only 1 new track in that game...
@SockoMario What was the new track?
@Gold I think it was the Coin Rush results music.
Needs a to bundle. Needs to include Yellow Cat-Ears for a collectors edition
So hyped!
Getting this as a "Present" for my bro (really, just wanted a good reason
to get it)
@MarioMan247 That would be cool. I'd wear them.
@Gold @SockoMario
There was also a remix of Super Mario World's boss theme when faced Reznor. The fact it was remix kinda takes away from even that.
But hey! At least it wasn't in NSMB!
This is going to be a great game. Duh.
@Nintonic are you kidding this game is going awsome
Gonna be amazing just like SM3DL
@diegosid lol.
I bought a wii u on release day last year, My library now includes super mario u, super luigi u, blops2, ac3, rayman, pikman 3, nl, scribblenauts unlimited. Im in NA so I picked up mario 3d world( and link between worlds) on friday. The reason im telling you this is before this game my wife wanted nothing to do with the WiiU. She loved the wii and was addicted to mario party, mario galaxy, and fortune street. Since friday she has almost completed mario 3d world... good job nintendo on making something people who are not loyal followers want to play again. That my friend is what sells consoles. Because now she will go back to work tomorrow and share her experiences with coworkers....
I cant wait to play this game, just reading these comments is pumping me up!
Hey guys who thinks the creepy ghost from super mario 3d land will be back in this one?
Also...
#screwyoupeta
Super Mario 3D World is so fun!!
@ItsaMeMario1126 Ok Maybe :
This game is REALLY underrated. ._.
@SockoMario This game is underated or overated. It gets the praise it deserves. This game has critical acclaim. My only problem with the game was no online mode. Nintendo really needs to start doing that. It's almost 2014. I wonder what's they're thinking.
@DJSmith99 Personally, i think the Miiverse is enough. I played multiplayer with my brother and I feel that local multiplayer with Mario is still the way to go.
If Mario Kart 8 doesn't have online, then I'll complain, but SM3DW is perfect with local multiplayer and no online.
great game.. but i really hate the pause when playing multiplayer.. and one of the others die, gets small or something..... often it makes me die or something myself...
other than that it is great.
I think it needs online. Not everybody lives next door. People live in different states, parts of a state, provinces, countries, and nations. How do you expect to play the game with them?
I agree with you there...DJSmith99
Wow, what can I say?? I have been playing Super Mario 3D world with my brother recently in the past week and it just gets better and better. The graphics, music, storyline, levels, items and characters are just all amazing. You should definately buy this game! Its well worth it! And there is a massive suprise for all of you at the "the end of the game!"
I hope that they add online features like teaming up with others and mini games like see who can get the most coins in a period of time, capture the crown and stuff like that
I love that you can play from an overhead isometric perspective. This game is one of the main reasons why I plan to buy a WII U!
So this is the point where the Mario series crossed the line from charming to garish.
This game is alright from the little I've played of this.
I like the way the game progresses and becomes more unique as you enter each of the different worlds.
If this game was just called "Mario Land 4D" and dropped the car costume garbage I would be alined to actually care about it.
Seriously this thing is awesome looking, but of course meh. Everything have "Resident Evil 1-4-CV graphics. Without that fact alone these games would be questionable.
