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

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.

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.

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.

My kids love it. You can never go wrong with Super Mario.

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!

Wow - what a great game on the 3DS family of systems. Whether or not you are playing in 3D or not - this game is fantastic. The level design is wonderful, the music superb... and best of all - it is Mario. It is one of the best, if not the best, Mario game on a handheld device. Highly recommended.

Superb game. One of the best on the 3ds and a must-own. Great for kids and adults.

Got this for a great price from Best Buy. Extremely entertaining game with many hours of enjoyment. Easy to learn but still quite challenging to master.
