Super Mario 3D Land

Super Mario 3D Land is like if fast food was a videogame. It is fun and tasty enough + you can eat it anywhere. However it doesn't even come close to how delicious the buffet that other Mario games offer is nor does it leave any sort of lasting impact.

The game is best enjoyed in short bursts of a couple levels at a time which is a perfect fit for the handheld console it is on. Trying to play for more extended periods of time makes the game feel very simple and repetitive, which it is, but the handheld nature of it remedies this issue.

I would recommend it as an excellent 3DS time waster to play on the bus but I would not recommend it as a big exciting Mario game.
