Nintendo Selects: Super Mario 3D Land - Nintendo 3DS

ith most of the Mario titles in the past decade, I've always been disappointed to smash my way through them in under a week without having faced any real difficulty at any point in the game. Mario 3D Land turns this on its head at the last minute. Upon defeating Bowser at the end of your standard round of 8 worlds, the game unlocks a new character and a new set of 8 more worlds that are all exceptionally challenging. The second set of worlds gets *NINTENDO HARD* at some points, and even the most experienced player will find themselves burning through dozens of lives on the same stage. The main difference is that there's no real punishment for failure because extra lives are near-unlimited and ridiculously easy to come by. Despite that, at the end of the day the sudden uptick in difficulty is just one of the many ways that Mario 3D Land honors and makes references to its roots. It borrows powerups, stages, tropes, enemies, and music from all throughout the series and ultimately makes this into one that was meant to appeal to the most longtime of fans.

My son is loving this game and seems to work really great without any issues at all. I enjoy watching him play it and it is really fun for me to play as well. These types of games are very addictive, so we monitor how much play time he has daily. We use it as a reward for him to get a lot of other chores done and to complete school work and reading, so it is a win win! It's been months since we have purchased it and he still loves it!

Nice game! Best Buy had the best price and was the only one who had this game in stock at the time. Best Buy is my new favorite place to buy video games and electronics. Happy customer!

I loved this game. But to be honest, I didn't finish it. I'm very busy, and work has just been... well, it's been a lot. Anyway, i got to Bowser and was fighting him and I was like "he's just a guy trying to get through the world? Why drop him in lava? I mean... does it make any sense?" So I stopped playing.

I never really got a chance to play 3D Land when it came out but I did play 3D World. I fell in love with it and figured 3D Land would be just as good. Oh boy, it is a BLAST! 3D Land when played in 3D is a whole new experience. The music, controls, animations and graphics are beautiful. Definitely recommend to any Mario fan, big or small. Game on! Thank you.

This Super Mario land 3D is like super Mario world 3D on the Wii U. It is simply now on the go in the new Nintendo 2DS and is a game that’s best on the go! Whether your on the bus or outside is best to play this game outside. You get into it and you feel great. The game has worlds and so many power ups that it gets your day on to a good start. 2 ds plays all Mario 3ds games and this game simply excels on the new 2ds.

One of the 3ds' best platformers. Super easy pick up and go style gameplay, levels are nice and short and a whole lot of fun. Def pick up if you have a 3ds still

Its a great deal. It came with the console free. So get it.
