Super Mario 3D Land: Difference between revisions

'''''Super Mario 3D Land''''' is a game in the [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] for the [[Nintendo 3DS]], and the first ''Mario'' game overall for the console. This is the second 3D Mario platformer for a handheld device with [[Super Mario 64 DS]] being the first and a remake/retelling of [[Super Mario 64 |the first 3D platforming adventure]]. It is the successor to Super Mario Galaxy 2. It is closely based on side-scrolling ''Mario'' games, but it is a 3D platformer in the vein of games like ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. As noted by [[Reggie Fils-Aime]], president and [[wikipedia:Chief operating officer|COO]] of [[Nintendo]] of America, at E3 2011, this game marks the first time a 3D ''Mario'' platformer has been built from the ground up for a handheld system (not counting ''Super Mario 64 DS'' as that is a retelling/remake of a console 3D Mario adventure). The game was created by the same development team that worked on the ''Super Mario Galaxy'' games and ''[[Donkey Kong Jungle Beat]]'', currently part of [[Nintendo Entertainment Analysis and Development|Nintendo EAD]] Tokyo. The game is completely single player, and features no form of multiplayer whatsoever. The game successor, ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', was released for the [[Wii U]] in 2013.
