'''''Super Mario 3D Land''''' is a single-player 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 ''Super Mario'' platformer for a handheld device (with ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' being the first and an enhanced remake of the first [[Super Mario 64|3D platformer adventure]]) and, as noted by [[Reggie Fils-Aime]] at E3 2011, the first 3D ''Mario'' platformer to be built from the ground up for a handheld system. It is also 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]]''. 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. It received a sequel entitled ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', which was released for the [[Wii U]] in 2013. The game requires 2315 blocks if it is bought off the [[Nintendo 3DS#Nintendo eShop|Nintendo eShop]].<ref>https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/super-mario-3d-land-3ds/</ref> | '''''Super Mario 3D Land''''' is a single-player game in the [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] for the [[Nintendo 3DS]] released in 2011, and the first ''Mario'' game overall for the console.

Later on, when Mario and three Toads (Red, Yellow, and Blue) check the Tail Tree, they discover that the Super Leaves are gone. However, the yellow Toad notices a hovering letter near the tree, and the group of four goes to investigate. Mario grabs and opens the letter, and a picture of Bowser holding Princess Peach captive with Super Leaves flying in the background pops out. The message shocks the three Toads and Mario, and immediately, Mario and the three Toads run to save the Princess.{{footnote|main|[video 2]}} Throughout his adventure, Mario receives more letters about Peach's predicament and about various stages of Bowser's Super Leaf-related plan. | Later on, when Mario and three Toads (Red, Yellow, and Blue) check the Tail Tree, they discover that the Super Leaves are gone.

Inspired by Mario's courage, Peach ultimately attempts to escape from Bowser and his army, but she is soon recaptured. Mario travels through World 8 and defeats Bowser, only to be tricked by a fake Peach sign, as Bowser escapes with the real Peach. Mario eventually finds Bowser's lair, but before they can battle, the floor beneath them breaks and they fall. After being chased through various obstacles, Mario manages to press a switch making the bridge under Bowser collapse, sending Bowser into a pool of lava. At last, Mario and the three Toads find Princess Peach and, using their [[Tanooki Mario|Tanooki]] powers, bring Peach back to her castle. | Inspired by Mario's courage, Peach ultimately attempts to escape from Bowser and his army, but she is soon recaptured.

*Because ''Super Mario 3D Land'' was developed and released before the [[Nintendo 3DS#Nintendo 2DS|Nintendo 2DS]] was produced, the game does not recognize when it is running on a 2DS system and still displays the 3D icons that indicate the available 3D viewing modes at the beginning of every level.
