Super Mario 3D World

Super Mario 3D World is an upcoming 3D platformer action game for the Wii U. It was revealed in June 11th Nintendo Direct. It's the fifteenth title in the Super Mario series, the second on the Wii U (third if one counts New Super Luigi U) and is the sixth 3D Mario title. The title is a sequel to the Nintendo 3DS game, Super Mario 3D Land.

Gameplay
The game plays much like Super Mario 3D Land, being closely based on the 2D side-scrolling games (in this game's case, Super Mario World), while being a 3D platformer similar to the likes of Super Mario 64 and the Super Mario Galaxy games. Stages are once again open, yet linear, have a time limit and end by grabbing the classic Flagpole at the end. Power-ups, like the Fire Flower and Super Leaf make a return, along with a new power-up; a bell that grants the player a Cat Suit, allowing the player to lunge at enemies and climb up walls. The Wii U Gamepad can also be used to unveil hidden blocks and objects, as well as stun enemies, like the Co-Star Luma from Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Boost Mode from New Super Mario Bros. U. The game also supports Off TV Play. The game features 4-player multiplayer (the first for a 3D Mario game), allowing players to play as Mario, Luigi, Blue Toad and Princess Peach, each with different abilities, much like they had in Super Mario Bros. 2.
