    One of the best 3Ds games. Good levels, the 3D mode is very Good used, a fair 100% and a fantastic final boss. The soundtrack is okay, but the bossbattles in World 2,3,4,6 and 7 are trash. They aren’t bad, but they are all the same with more less difficult new features. I rate this game with a 10, because it’s a perfect 3D Jump’ run for a handheld console.

    for me this is the best mario game in 3d. I am a player who is not trying to collect all the stars and get all the content from the game, but this game is addictive. Many interesting situations, beautiful locations, nice music.

    This can be surely defined as one of the best 3DS games of all time. It shows the full potential of the 3D function of the console, and the gameplay is not boring at all. Definitely worth playing 100% :D

    Un diseño de niveles excelente que aprovecha muy bien las características de la pequeña consola de Nintendo. Sí eres fanático del fontanero, es un título obligatorio para tu 3DS

    "Super Mario 3d Land" es sencillamente el mejor videojuego de Super Mario para Nintendo 3ds/2ds. Recopila toda la esencia de los clásicos plataformeros, incluidos el New Super Mario Bros (2006) y New Super Mario Bros 2 (2012) y añade la "novedosa" jugabilidad en 3 dimensiones.

Esto quiere decir que podemos recorrer todos los niveles de esa forma, pudiéndonos mover de izquierda a derecha y hacia adelante y atrás con total libertad de movimiento. Es de nuevo un videojuego muy divertido, que a diferencia del New Super Mario Bros 2, este es más complejo en cuanto a jugabilidad, mecánicas y dificultad se refiere.
    Sin duda, la mejoría técnica es notable. Animaciones nuevas, interacción con los objetos y en general con el entorno y calidad gráfica superiores hacen de este juego aún más destacable.

    La narrativa es siempre la misma, no hace falta explicar cuál va a ser el objetivo del bigotudo de gorra roja. Por otro lado, los jefes finales de los mundos (en total tenemos 8 mundos normales y otros 8 especiales que se desbloquearán al terminar la historia principal) serán "Bum Bum" y "Pum Pum", una especie de mezcla entre un koopaling un koopa gigante, los cuales se irán turnando en los diferentes mundos. Los combates con estos jefes son mas emocionantes y algo mas difíciles que en New Super Mario Bros 2. Es sin duda una dosis de emoción necesaria que en esta entrega se hace notar. Además, el combate final con Bowser y en general en nivel final va a suponer un reto para muchos jugadores (incluido yo).
    En definitiva, se trata de la entrega perfecta para los amantes de Super Mario en para Nintendo 3ds, un juego impecable técnicamente, muy original y divertido de nuevo. Sin duda, el ansia de Nintendo por hacer un videojuego 3d se notó en esta entrega de 2011, al poco de lanzar la consola Nintendo 3ds.    … Expand

    Super Mario 3D Land bringt als erstes Spiel dieses Levelsystem aus den Super-Mario-Bros.-Spielen mit 3D-Leveln und setzt das perfekt um. Jede der 8 Basiswelten besteht aus einzigartigen, großartig konzipierten 3D-Levels, von denen manche die 2D-Perspektive (von links nach rechts) beibehalten, viele aber das Open-World-Prinzip aus Super Mario 64 etwas minimalistischer besitzen.

Die 8 Spezialwelten erfinden neben einigen neuen Levelnls die Levels der Basiswelten neu: mit strengen Zeitlimitationen, einem Schatten, der dich verfolgt und dich tötet, wenn du zu langsam bist, mit anderen Tageszeiten, abgewandelten Secrets, dem Umdrehen des gesamten Levels oder – am spannendsten – mit neuen Items und einem neuen Charakter, dessen Rettung auch perfekt in die Story eingegliedert ist. Das Prinzip der Spezialwelten ist sowohl auf Casual Gamer als auch auf Erkunder zugeschnitten. So wird bei Erreichen einer Spezialwelt (außer S8) Zugang zu allen etwa 7 Levels der Welt gewährt, und man muss eine bestimmte Anzahl an Sammelgegenständen vorzeigen, um das Luftschiff oder die Burg am Ende betreten zu können und somit die nächste Spezialwelt zu erreichen. Andererseits gilt solange als nicht geschafft, wie nicht alle Levels beendet wurden. Vollständig ist eine Welt nur mit dem Sammeln aller Sternenmünzen – das ist Gold für Neugierige, Erkundungsgierige. Das finale Abschlusslevel wird nur dann freigeschaltet, wenn zuvor alles mit allen Charakteren beendet wurde – ein Ansporn, alles durchzuspielen.… Expand

    A beautiful, charming, exquisite game that begs it’s self to be played in 3d. The levels are unique and colourful. The amount of levels in the actual game is quite impressive and the items are fun and creative. I love this 3d mario game so much, it’s the only one that I 100% because it is very addictive and easy. Overall, just a joy to play!

    This game is the definition of perfect, almost every level is fun and special, Most of them are really easy but there are some challenging ones. The bosses aren't really good and not hard enough except some of the bosses at the end of the game. This is the best 3d Mario game after sm64 and the best game avaliable on the 3ds.

    This was the first game that I played on the N3DS, and still it is one of my favorite game on the N3DS. I recommend to play this game if you have a brand new N3DS.

    This Game is Fun, Pick up and play, goodness, offering tight controls, memorable levels and set pieces, and nice music. The Main game is easy, but the post game picks up the challenge for more experienced players. With 16 full worlds to explore, Any 3DS owner need this game in their collection. Its a Must Buy!

    The best 3D Mario game imo, though it's practically tied with 64 and Galaxy 1/2 too. Wonderful use of 3D and outstanding level creativity.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There's no denying it, Super Mario 3D land is a hit. It's a lengthy game that is not to repetitive. There is a great ton of content. You have the usual 8 worlds, but then once you beat the final boss, you unlock 8 new special worlds. These special world do mostly contain levels that were in the normal 8 world's, (there are some new levels though), however they have been changed a little to be harder. The airship levels were really good and some of my favourites. It is repetitive, but in a good way that doesn't get boring quickly. Honestly, this is the some of the best level design the series has ever seen. The majority of the levels are short, but there are so many of them it doesn't matter. fan favourite power ups such as the tanuki suit returns with a handy and fun new power up called the boomerang flower. This boomerang suit is really useful and is good for taking out enemies at long range. You still need to collect star coins, so there is a little similarity to the new super Mario bros games here too.
    I'll admit that the story could have been better though. However, this game is like Sonic Generations, the level's are soo good that it doesn't matter that the stories meh. (which coincidentally, both these games came out in the same year). In the first special world, you have to save Luigi and once you have done that, you play as him in any level you want. The graphics are great in this game and this is one of the very few games on the 3Ds that the 3D mode is actually useful for and isn't totally pointless. Honestly though, the 3d gimmick on the 3ds is soo underutilized. Music's pretty decent as well.
    This game has a terrific final boss and secret special world 8 final boss. The majority of the bosses in this game are great, which is a nice touch as the majority of the bosses in the 2D games since new super Mario bros Wii have been bad. If you own a 3ds or a 2ds, this game is a must buy. This is a Gem of a game, and again, a must buy. And for once, a Nintendo game isn't over priced. They should be given a medal for that. Even Metacritic agrees which is saying something, as you can't usually rely on this site for a fair, true review on any game.    … Expand

    One of my favorite 3d mario games! Unlike the previous ones, 3d land and world sticks to the traditional 2d mario game level types, rather then have objectives, like sm64, sunshine, etc.
    I think I like both this and sm64 level types.

    This review also is the same for sm3dw

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is not a perfect Mario game but I think it is close. It has issues of being to easy at times but makes up for that by adding extra worlds. I like the graphical style a lot and it looks great in 3D and on the 3DS. I like the power ups even if there are too few in my mind, but they choose some really good ones. The game is really fun to play and the game adds an extra level of depth to a 2D Mario Platformer by setting it in a 3D world. I think that if you own a 3DS there is a lot a reasons why you should get this game.… Expand

    Mario is back! In a classic Mario-fashion you jump your way througheight worlds, where you battle goombas, koopas and the main meaniehimself, Bowser. This game is never particularly difficult, butgradually advanced to a challenge that feels just perfect. Fun, varied and guaranteed to make you smile.

    The Nintendo 3DS has had a slow start, but I feel this marks one of the first important games to come out on this system. I can't say it's a must buy, but is really close for those who have already picked up a 3DS. The amount of content in this game along with the varying degree of gameplay makes this one of the best Mario games I've played in a while.
