For decades, the characters of the Super Mario Bros. franchise have been loved by fans. Their quirky abilities, hilarious backstory and unusual worlds have endeared players, solidifying a place in the annals of video game history forever. So it only makes sense that the Super Mario Bros. legacy should burst into life in 3D with the power of next-generation consoles. Experience the first multiplayer 3D Mario game for the Nintendo Wii U console and dive back into the familiar world with the characters you love, but with an array of new features and added twists.

Invite your friends over to work together in the Super Mario Bros. universe or compete for the crown alone. Play as Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach or Toad, and utilize each character's unique abilities and play styles that help you get ahead. Princess Peach, of course, gracefully glides over gaps, while Luigi brings back his trademark extra-high jump. Keep your enemies guessing with the new cat transformation that lets you run on all fours, pounce on foes, attack in midair and use your claws to scamper up walls and goal poles. Each aspect of the colorful 3D environments will have you feeling a combination of nostalgia and excitement, while new obstacles and contraptions, like transparent pipes and vertical conveyor belts, add new puzzle elements to keep you on the edge of your seat. Harness the power of the Wii U GamePad controller's touch screen to search for hidden blocks and freeze enemies in place. Get ready to enjoy the success of a classic in a totally new and thrilling way.

A game accessible to anyone!
There is no other way around it, you deserve to play this game as a person, as an experienced gamer or as a new gamer. Super Mario 3D World has everything for everyone, it starts with introductory relatively easy worlds and ends with you playing as a champion. The challenge is leveled perfectly with the level design. The level design is one of the best in the Mario franchise. Even though it shares some similarities with Super Mario 3D Land for Nintendo 3DS, every object in 3D World is perfectly blended with its environments leaving any connexion with its predecessors behind. It doesn't add anything new to the Mario formula, instead it decides to accommodate power ups together with gameplay, of any of the various 2D and 3D Mario games like the New Super Mario Bros. series or the Mario Galaxy series, in new ways. The level of detail in the graphics makes you feel as if you are Mario. The grass moving with the wind, the reflection of the lights around the objects, the shadow of the objects, the environments atmosphere and the animals all interact with each other giving life to the universe. The music is perfect for the kind of game. It doesn't matter if any tune of the soundtrack is not orchestrated as the Mario Galaxy games, 3D World just let your body know that you can also like jazz music. I would never imagine that jazz fits perfectly in this kind of game. My conclusions, NINTENDO AND EAD TOKIO (developer behind the game) HAS DONE IT AGAIN. A Mario game playing like a video game using the technical power inside the Wii U as if it was a monster computer, you will play this game 10 years from now and it will retain its value. With this game the art style drives the technological power nor the other way around. You will notice that 3D World is how video games should be, pure games.

playing with 3 people is insane
this game is a very terrific experience alone...a bit challenging with 2...and just down right hilarious with 3. this is a game that could be played together with friends. the graphics are very pretty...they could have been a bit better but..wouldn't have made much difference. the wiimotes can be used for additional players...but using the small dpad could be uncomfortable and also if you shake the wiimote mario ground pounds...that's not good. it causes some unneccessary deaths. but it is playable in case you don't want to waste money on the wiiU pro controllers.

Must own Mario game if you are a Wii U owner
Mario and his friends make their HD 3D platforming debut in Super Mario 3D World - the sequel to Super Mario 3D Land on the 3DS. This is a must own game for Wii U owners and is a great game for families to play together! Each level gives the player(s) an increasing level of difficulty across eight unique worlds. Up to four players can play together on each stage and the game is designed in such a way where playing together is not very intrusive to one another and won't ruin the experience for the other players. You'll be humming along to the game's soundtrack with just a couple playthroughs too! You won't be disappointed with this game no matter your overall gaming experience.
