Super Mario 3D Land: Difference between revisions

'''''Super Mario 3D Land''''' is a single-player game in the [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' series]] for the [[Nintendo 3DS]], released in November 2011, and is the first ''Mario'' game overall for the console. It is the fourteenth entry in the ''Super Mario'' series<ref name=encyclopedia>Kazuya Sakai (Ambit), kikai, Akinori Sao, Junko Fukuda, Kunio Takayama, and Ko Nakahara ({{wp|Shogakukan}}) (ed.). ''[[Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia|Encyclopedia Super Mario Bros.]]'' Milwaulkie: [[Dark Horse Comics|Dark Horse Books]], 2018. ISBN: 978-4-09-106569-8</ref>, the second 3D ''Super Mario'' [[Genre#Platform|platformer]] for a handheld device (with ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' being the first and an enhanced remake of [[Super Mario 64|the first 3D platformer adventure]]) and, as noted by [[Reggie Fils-Aime]] at {{wp|E3 2011}}, the first 3D ''Mario'' platformer to be built from the ground up for a handheld system. 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 November 2013. The game requires 2315 blocks if it is bought off the [[Nintendo eShop#Nintendo 3DS|Nintendo eShop]].<ref>https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/super-mario-3d-land-3ds/</ref>

''Super Mario 3D Land'' is the first ''Mario'' game published by Nintendo on one of their consoles to be officially localized in Dutch, Portuguese, and Russian.<ref name="NintendoNL"> [http://www.nintendo.nl/NOE/nl_NL/news/2011/geef_bowser_een_zwieper_-_de_tanooki_power-up_is_terug_45304.html Nintendo of the Netherlands - Geef Bowser een zwieper - de Tanooki power-up is terug]</ref><ref name="NintendoPG">[http://www.nintendo.pt/NOE/pt_PT/news/2011/super_mario_3d_land_e_mario_kart_7_chegam__nintendo_3ds_em_portugus_45304.html Nintendo of Portugal - ''SUPER MARIO 3D LAND'' e ''Mario Kart 7'' chegam à Nintendo 3DS em português!]</ref><ref name="NintendoRU"> [http://www.nintendo.ru/NOE/ru_RU/games/nintendo_3ds/super_mario_3d_land__44851.html Nintendo Russia - Official ''Super Mario 3D Land'' Website]</ref>

Later on, when [[Mario]] and three [[Toad (species)|Toad]]s (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]] hostage 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. Throughout his adventure, Mario receives more letters about Peach's predicament and about various stages of Bowser's Super Leaf-related plan.

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 (Super Mario 3D Land)|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 pursued through various obstacles, Mario manages to press a [[P Switch|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.

After Mario beats Special 8-Castle, another cut-scene appears. Another letter has floated down on World 1-1, and the three Toads who accompanied Mario in his adventure investigate while in their Tanooki forms. To their surprise, Bowser has kidnapped Princess Peach again. Then, Mario or Luigi must defeat Bowser in {{World|8|bowser3d}}2 again. After that, a picture of Tanooki Peach is unlocked. Once five stars are present on the profile, {{world|S8|crown}}, the very last level, is unlocked.

The levels of ''Super Mario 3D Land'' are much more linear and compact than the other 3D titles, more along the lines of the side-scrolling games. All levels have a [[Time Limit|time limit]] and even feature [[Goal Pole]]s, a staple of the original ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and the ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' games, as opposed to [[Power Star]]s or [[Shine Sprite]]s, as the level goals. To enter vertical pipes, the player must press {{button|3ds|L}} or {{button|3ds|R}}; for the first time in the series, the player can re-enter areas through pipes at will (for example, after being transported to the above-ground Goal Pole in [[World 2-2 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 2-2]], the player can go back down the pipe to return underground). The graphics of the game greatly resemble those of the ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' [[Super Mario Galaxy 2|games]], while the levels show visual similarities to the ''[[New Super Mario Bros. (disambiguation)|New Super Mario Bros.]]'' titles. Game-play also takes cues from ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', notably tight-rope walking. Unlike the 2D ''Mario'' games, the level themes in a world tend to be more random, like the galaxies of the ''Super Mario Galaxy'' games, instead of focusing on a particular setting per world.

While giving examples of how the Nintendo 3DS enhances game-play, Shigeru Miyamoto has stated that hitting blocks from underneath in 3D ''Mario'' games would be easier with stereoscopic 3D.<ref>[http://ds.ign.com/articles/115/1153006p1.html GDC: ''Super Mario 3DS'' Revealed]</ref> Thus, blocks are more prevalent in this game, unlike the past 3D games, where blocks were few and far between. Three [[Star Medal]]s (which have a similar design to the [[Comet Medal]]s from ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'') are found in each level, and collecting all three is part of the level's challenge, like the [[Star Coin]]s in the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' games. [[+ Clock]]s can be picked up to give the player additional time to complete the level, a mechanic only seen previously in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''{{'}}s Speedy Comet missions.

As in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', when Mario loses a life, he respawns in his Super form instead of his Small form. Similar to ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', the game has features to help the player if they lose too many lives in a stage. When the player loses two lives in one level, a flying [[Roulette Block]] appears. When five lives are lost, an [[Assist Block]] containing an [[Invincibility Leaf]] appears, which makes the player invincible for the duration of the level. Finally, when ten lives are lost, an Assist Block with a [[P-Wing]] appears, which warps the player directly to the Goal Pole. Unlike previous ''Mario'' games, the lives counter in ''Super Mario 3D Land'' extends beyond 100 and goes up to 1,110 lives (after reaching 1,000, 1,100 and 1,110 lives, the hundreds, tens, and units digits respectively are displayed as a crown). This life counter is also included in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''.
