Super Mario 3D World

"Super Mario 3D World" is a 3D-platformer game which was released for Wii U by Nintendo near the end of November 2013. It is a sequel to "Super Mario 3D Land" which was released for Nintendo 3DS.

Basic plot: Our famous heroes Mario, Luigi, Peach and Toad are about to enjoy the fireworks outside of Peach's castle, when they discover a Clear Pipe. Lots of items and a green Sprixie Princess burst out from the pipe. The Sprixie Princess needs help, and tells the heroes about six of her fellows having gotten kidnapped by Bowser. Bowser suddenly emerges from the pipe and kidnaps her, so Mario and company have to save all the seven kidnapped Sprixie Princesses...

This is a game which I got during Christmas Eve 2013, and I enjoyed from the first second I began playing it. Besides from the different 3D-worlds and the various challenges, I also liked the new items, including the Cat Suit which allows the heroes to climb up high walls. And if that isn't enough, I also liked the idea of having up to 4 players to play the game, and not at least choose any of the four characters. I, for the most part, played as Peach.

And if you are interested, an another character named Rosalina can be unlocked in the first Bonus World.

Conclusion: If you enjoy anything related to Mario and company, but yet haven't play this game as of today, then I recommend you to buy this game, if not only play this one at least once. My overall rating: 9/10.

This is a game that I didn't expect much, I even thought it would be much weaker than others in the franchise, but luckily I was wrong. The game is nothing more than a tribute to fans of the Super Mario franchise. There are several references to the old games and they reuse ideas that were made in other games. The stages are beautiful and the use of old and new enemies is very well done. The fact that this game is huge to the point of having extra levels makes it that much more amazing. Absolutely everything is done to please the fans and it's done in an excellent way without seeming forced. I started thinking it would be a weak game and ended up thinking this was one of the best in the franchise.

I only played this because it was included digitally on my Wii U upon purchase. I found it to be pretty boring and repetitive. The graphics were awesome, though.

Even though the Wii U is over 10 years old I bought it a few months ago, together with Mario Kart 8 and Super Mario 3D World. I have played 3D World before on my cousin's Nintendo Switch and thought it was an okay game. But when I bought it myself and really got into it and played all the level I absolutely loved it!

The levels are so well done and the variation is so perfect. There hasn't been a single level I didn't like. The difficulty is perfect to, I am not a hardcore gamer, I just like to play for fun, so for me the game is sometimes difficult but at least it isn't impossible. A couple of tries and you'll pass the level.

I've also played much multiplayer with my friends and this game offers a fantastic multiplayer experience!

If you haven't played this game yet, you really should!
