Template:Infobox Super Mario (working title), is an upcoming game of the Super Mario franchise for the Nintendo 3DS. It seems to be closely based on side-scrolling Mario games, but is a 3D platformer in the vein of games like Super Mario 64, marking the first time an original 3D Mario platformer has appeared on a handheld console, disregarding Super Mario 64 DS as a remake. It is being created by the same development team that worked on Super Mario Galaxy series, being part of Nintendo EAD Tokyo. As it is a new installment in the main Mario series, Super Mario follows Super Mario Galaxy 2 in this respect.
Gameplay
The gameplay of Super Mario for 3DS will be similar to previous 3D Super Mario games, which include Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, Super Mario Galaxy, and Super Mario Galaxy 2. However, the game will include features that have, until now, only been seen in the side-scrolling Super Mario games, such as Small Mario, a feature present in the side-scrolling games since the first Super Mario Bros.. Among the notable new objects are medals that appear similar to the Comet Medals coming from Super Mario Galaxy 2, but it is unknown if they will function in the same manner. The design of the game greatly resembles Super Mario Galaxy and its sequel, while the areas shown so far share visual similarities with New Super Mario Bros. Wii. The game mostly appears to be similar to the Super Mario Galaxy games, as it is being developed by the same team that made those two games.

Development
Super Mario was first mentioned in an "Iwata Asks" interview with Shigeru Miyamoto, where he confirmed that a new Super Mario Bros. for the Nintendo 3DS game is in development, but currently has not been given a proper title.[2] On March 2, the game was officially announced during the Game Developers Conference, under the name Super Mario. Satoru Iwata stated that a more official announcement will be shown at E3 2011. According to Iwata, "it will be a game that will come with the kind of surprises and fun that only the 3DS can offer".[3]
Trivia
- The logo, although temporary, notably appears to have some sort of tail coming off of the "O," one that greatly resembles Raccoon Mario's tail from the title screen logo of Super Mario Bros. 3. Satoru Iwata pointed this out during the announcement of the game, indicating that it may reference an as-of-yet unknown detail about the game.
- In the third screenshot, it is seen that Mario is small and has no cap, similar to Wario's tiny form.
