    This game is literally perfect. THe pacing is good, the levels are unique and have actual themes unline 3D land, the graphics are so amazing and are fun to look at, the bosses are amazing, the music is amazing, the multiplayer is fun, and it really feels like 2D mario transitioned into 3D and it did it alot better than Super Mario 3D Land. Highly suggest playing this masterpiece

    Its not a 10 just because its too short, spent a lot of money and finished it in less than 2 days doing 100%, but had a great time, cant go wrong with mario. And the most beautiful in terms of graphics in the series before Odyssey launched.

    Playing this expecting it to live up to the astronomical standards of the Galaxy duo is only going to give you heartbreak. However, it is a great game in its own right, with distinct levels that jump between mechanics and concepts with ease. Great fun and an extremely polished 3D Mario title.

This is the first time that You get to play as Rosalina outside of Mario kart and she is the best to play as in my opinion. It's cool how every character has their own Unique gimmick; Luigi can jump higher than the rest; Peach can hover and glide for a short amount of time; Rosalina has the spin attack from Mario Galaxy and blue toad can run the fastest. The graphics are great. There ate tons of Easter eggs to be found in this game from all over the Mario franchise and even a whole course dedicated to the original Mario circuit in the original super Mario kart. The cat suit is a nice edition and is fun to use. the hub worlds are bigger and more detailed than in its predecessor (Super Mario 3D Land for the 3Ds). There are so many worlds and they aren't the same for once. Also, it's a huge breath of fresh air that we are not rescuing Princess Peach for once as it's and overused plot in this franchise. Instead you have to save pixies. The multi player is also great and in single player, you're not forced to play as Mario which is definitely good. Overall, this is a great game and a must play.

    The Wii U was a failure. The console wasn't bad, though. The marketing was horrible. Lots of the games were bad. But, there were some good games. 3D world is horribly underrated. "Oh, really?" some may say. But I will prove this is the best Wii U game.

    Wait, Mario and Luigi are PLUMBERS? The story is that Bowser, instead of stealing one princess, he steals eight. It's by no standard
    The Wii U was a failure. The console wasn't bad, though. The marketing was horrible. Lots of the games were bad. But, there were some good games. 3D world is horribly underrated. "Oh, really?" some may say. But I will prove this is the best Wii U game.

    Wait, Mario and Luigi are PLUMBERS? The story is that Bowser, instead of stealing one princess, he steals eight. It's by no standard good, but story doesn't decide a platformer.

    It is a linear platformer like 3D land. Lots of people don't like this. I prefer the open-world style, but this is fine. The levels were designed for 4 players, but they're fine for 1 player. But I have to say, this is the best multiplayer in any Mario game. There are 4 collectibles per level, each not being impossible to find. There are 4 characters you can play as, and you need to swap occasionally to get certain collectibles. There is also a character after the game. You need them to progress to boss levels, but this wasn't an issue, even when I played for the first time when I was FIVE! The bosses are easy though, and they have my least favorite character ever, Boom Boom. I could rant on and on about why I hate Boom Boom, but luckily a lot of them are creative. Some of the levels seem like experiences of their own, and I sometimes still like to play. The gameplay is a 9/10. Very solid.

    The presentation is the same as most Mario games in HD. The locations are old Mario POIs, but better. On the world map they seem uninspired, but in-level they look gorgeous. Like Puffprod Peaks. Seeing it gives me so much nostalgia. The music is the best of any mainline Mario game. Puffprod Peaks is my favorite. It gets a 9/10. You'll like the presentation.

    It takes about 15 hours to beat. If you are only playing the story, it's easy and short. If you are only playing the story WHAT ARE YOU DOING??? It takes about 50 hours to beat. There is 3 post-game worlds, and there is a very good 100% reward that I won't spoil. There are 3 stars per level and 1 stamp that you COULD use for Miiverse, but on the Switch you can take pictures with them. The content is a 10/10. Lots of content.

    This game, on the surface, looks shallow, but grows on you like moss. I am heavily nostalgic for this game as it was the first I ever played. People who didn't get the Wii U missed out. I like it more than the Switch. Nintendo experimented back then, but in the Switch era, they don't even try. Get this game on the Wii U or Switch. Please.

The levels are somewhat more diverse than it's 3d land counterpart and there are 4 players. It can get really fun and chaotic. Expand

Absolutely solid AAA Mario game, with new mechanics diverse characters with abilities that match characters like peach float, Luigi jump boost, et cetera. Level design is fantastic and will always leave you with a smile. It is simple and leaves things to be desired such as custom game modes, but I can always find new things to do in the game, whether it's a tag within the levels, messing with the level selection world, and so much more. My only notable problem is the lack of movement options, I personally like a game where you feel fast and skillful, and there are few ways to move. There is the basic walk and run, holding jump to go higher or a short jump, a weirdly times ground pound jump, and an unreliable crouch jump and backflip, long jump, rolling than long jumping, ground-pounding, and finally spin jumping. A dive move like in Super Mario Odyssey or Super Mario 64 would have been welcome since there are no aerial movement options in this game. Overall, fantastic game to play, and if you play it enough it grows on you until you start to feel like a professional speedrunner. Playing with friends/family is most optimal, but even by yourself there is an incredibly difficult final level in a secret world, which you can attempt, and you think about how packed with content this game is. Great game, 8/10. Expand

    My favourite Mario game other than the two galaxies. The ranking mostly is due to the multiplayer mode. Everyone shares lives so no one wants to kill each other, but the crown and point system still allows for there to be some competition. It also has the double cherry and some of the best level designs and bosses from the series.

But after completing the first two worlds, I was proven wrong. Super Mario 3D World adds enough new content making it distinct. The biggest marketed aspect was definitely the new cat suit. It allowed my character to climb walls, which proved to be pretty broken in the first couple worlds, but the game slowly added more suitable platform design that forced me to apply the climbing ability in clever ways. I also had a dive attack which was fun to use, and a nice change from the same old hovering ability the tanooki suit offered for the 100th time.

    Visually, this game was gorgeous. Everything looked so cute. I guess the cat suit amiplified that. It was hard to resist awww-ing when looking at Goombas in the cat suit trying to dive attack me. Or Goombas in big skates chasing me around an ice rink. And the final showdown had Bowser in a cat suit, struggling to climb up walls. It was hard to take the fight seriously. I couldn’t stop smiling. The worlds were absolutely beautiful. After Galaxy 2, this was the first 3D Mario to have a true HD resolution. Looking at the lush colorful environment made the whole platform experienced a lot more immersive. World 8 was my favorite. There were a lot of night time levels, which made the lighting stand out, creating a feeling like I was in a carnival.

    The hub world in this one is quite unique. It’s a hybrid. Although, at the heart, it still followed the prayer bead structure, I could go off course and explore the map. Not that there was really anything to explore, aside from random 1-ups and coin blocks. It ended up just giving the illusion of freedom.

    Littered throughout the map were captain toad puzzles. I thoroughly enjoyed Captain Toad on the 3DS, so this was a big welcome. The puzzle designs always found a way to surprise me. Instead of walking around the area to find secrets, the focus was on rotating the camera to find secrets, which I still find to be a refreshing concept. These segments also utilized the gamepad by having me blow on the microphone to raise a platform, or touch the screen to raise a platform, which was neat. Couldn’t say the same for the action segments that had me use the touch screen though. It was nothing short of clumsy and annoying being forced to take my right hand off the controller, touch the screen to bring out a platform, then quickly put it back so I could jump onto the platform.

    The best original Wii U game by a fairly wide margin. Super Mario 3D world is a hybrid between 2D and 3D Mario, and I absolutely love it! Although not perfect, the platforming is very solid and there is plenty to do here for hours on end.

    Super mario 3D worlds starst out with pure nintendo magic.. this is a 7 hour long, pure platforme meets collectathon.. eacuh of the levels in each world contains 3 stars for you to find… and at least trying to look for them is necessary because of the collectathon aspect, there are road blocks in your way that require a certain amount of stars to proceed.. this can be annoying in some games, but here in 3d orlds the ask is pretty manageable and wont have you banging your head off of a wall trying to move on.. in fact looking for the stars really is the hook of this game.. as the levels here are all super short… youre mostly dodging enemies and obstacles, and collecting upgrades to help you find these stars.. and for the first half of the game I was having a lot of fun.. I couldn’t put the controller down.. the colors, the sounds, the level design.. the star finding.. I was hooked.. unfortunately though 3d worlds doesn’t do enough to consistently feel so amazing… the uniqueness and variety starts to fade the longer the game goes on.. reused assests and even reused boss battles… Super Mario 3d Worlds feels so padded out and full of repeat content.. so you don get that feeling of excitement to see the next world or level im used to for Mario games… youre just hoping, man I sure hope theres no desert or lava here… and this also leads to levels just blending.. ask me what my favorite level was from 3D worlds.. I couldn’t tell you, because its all a blur, and levels standing out really only matter in 2 types of games, racing and platforming… and a las, here we are with a platforming game that has levels youll forget about in a week…
    Thankfully 3D worlds is still fun to play through and see through to end. Even with my omplaints, super Mario 3D worlds proves to be a gret and addictive collectathon that was hard to put down..
    I just wouldv liked to see a little more Nintendo magic and variety in the level design.

    Many complain that the game is linear, which is true. It's very obvious that 3D World and its precursor (3D Land) are 2D games with an extra axis. Its linear nature on its own makes it difficult to stack up against other 3D Mario games, but it brings its own charm that is displayed especially in World Bowser, which has more charm than even some of the better levels in other 3D Mario games.
    However, it's low difficult makes the game pretty short, and if you're planning on getting the Switch port I'd wait a few weeks and scower out used copies. If you own a Wii U, used copies are cheap.
    And of course, we can't forget the multiplayer. 3D World stands as the only 3D Mario game with a full multiplayer mode, and it brings the chaotic fun of NSMB's multiplayer. I'd go as far as to say that 3D World is the definitive multiplayer Mario experience.
    Overall, it's a fun time that is a must-play for any Wii U owner. I'm glad that it will finally get the chance it deserves on the Switch.

    Sus jefes son muy divertidos y la mayoría se salen de los típicos enemigos como los koopalings o bowser jr, y aunque no son muy memorables (a excepción del ultimo jefe), cada uno trae una mecanica distinta para superar (SPOILER: como pum pum donde debemos descubrir entre sus copias cual es la verdadera, o el rey gusano donde debemos escalar sobre sus cómplices para derrotarlo).
    Sus coleccionables no son la gran cosa, pero son entretenidos de buscar, y ademas serviran para algo mas (Se explicara abajo, pero son SPOILERS)
    SPOILER: Sus mundos son muy variados, y al final de terminar la historia venciendo a bowser, nos recompensan con mas mundos. Aunque el mundo champinion y flor dejan algo que desear ya que son modificaciones de niveles pasados, te la pasas bien, y si te propones a conseguir todos los coleccionables, te recompensan con la prueba de los campeones, un nivel donde debes perfeccionar todas las mecánicas que aprendiste en el juego (excelente para gamers hardcore) mas un recopilatorio de todos los niveles de la casa del misterio y el ultimo nivel de Captain Toad.

    Super Mario 3D World makes 3d Land better than 3d Land. By having put the multiplayer and the phases of Captain Toad, this Wii U opus excels in the video game despite some things that could have been mastered, A forgettable Ost and a post game worse than 3d land. Let's not forget the excellent level design and artistic direction of the levels while making a nod to Galaxy in its way of being ...

Creative levels that utilize different mechanics. The finale “champions road” was difficult and actually required skill to beat it. This was genuinely difficult and not artificially difficult (no enemy spam,no short time limit, etc.). That type of challenge is actually fun. Overall, I Love it. The only set back for me from giving it a 10 would be that playing every single level 5 times gets annoying. 3D land was stretching it with 2 times, 3D world is abusing it by changing it to 5. The levels get pretty boring when you have to play them 5 times each. Beating champions road 5 times probably took me 2 hours. That is lot of time spent on just one level. You only get that satisfaction of beating that level once. The other 4 times aren’t special. A minor gripe I have with this game is a lack of reward for truly 100 percent in the game, again, it’s minor, but I’d still like to point it out. I said earlier that 100 percenting the gam is satisfying, that’s true— until the very end. I had 5 shiny stars at the end of world flower, and still had 5 shiny stars when I completed world crown. Why doesn’t the game just wait to give me the 5th star until world crown is beaten, or just give me a 6th star on my file. The only thing that changes on your file is that your green stars go up by 38, and your stamps go up by 9. Unless you already know the exact amount of green stars and stamps that are in the game, you would have no idea the game is really 100 percent done. I know I just complained a lot, but I really do love this game and highly recommend it. Expand

    Al fin, algo diferente.

    JUGABILIDAD:
    Nintendo lo ha hecho muy bien. Uno hubiera pensado que otro Mario en 3D no saldría bien, pero fue lo contrario: excelente.

    El juego es tremendamente divertido con todos los puzles para resolver, obstáculos para sortear y villanos para aplastar. Como juego de Super Mario no tiene una "historia" tal cual, pero no la necesita puesto que lo divertido son los niveles y esos sí que tienen variedad y profundidad... literalmente.

    La integración con el Gamepad es algo que se debe mencionar, tanto de la pantalla touch como del micrófono al que habremos de soplarle para mover algunos objetos en pantalla.

    GRÁFICOS:
    El estilo de arte me ha gustado mucho, todos los colores (chillones donde deben serlo, oscuros donde deben serlo) hacen que los niveles sean muy agradables a la vista, sobretodo por los contrastes en algunos de ellos.

    SONIDO:
    Simple pero efectivo, nos da la emoción necesaria para introducirnos en cada Mundo.

    INNOVACIÓN:
    Se agradece que Nintendo lleve a sus tan amados personajes a un buen Plataformer en 3d, y se agradece más que lo haya hecho tan bien, integración con el Gamepad incluida.

Um título de plataforma 3D muito bem explorado em vários âmbitos; criativo, divertido e com uma trilha sonora espetacular, assim como toda a franquia Mario, que raramente deixa a desejar. Peca somente na câmera, em algumas ocasiões lenta demais para acompanhar a velocidade do jogador, e na baixa dinamicidade em se trocar os personagens, que requer um reinício de nível.

    Finalmente, los niveles extra son muy buenos y entretenidos (he de recordad que de aquí nació Captain Toad)

The levels are easy, fun, and not frustrating (although there ARE some frustrating bits, especially with the final extra level), the diverse character selection allows for a variety of different gameplay styles, and even the challenge of having to complete all stages with all characters - while may turn some players off, and admittedly could've been done out with entirely - gives players the incentive to go out of their comfort zone with different characters besides their favorite and try and master the courses with these outliers.

    The multiplayer mode possesses a special kind of multiplayer known as Competitive Co-op. While it may turn off some players from playing its multiplayer as a direct result, this essentially allows for two types of play: One where one player contributed the most, and the other direct competition for the high score. Bundling both those together may seem like a poor decision by Nintendo, and admittedly could've been done better, but it prevents the iteration time of HAVING to select a mode out of the two, which allows for the player to get right into the multiplayer action had have the heck of the time out of it.

    The soundtrack and graphics, while remaining generic, also still remain wonderful and memorable. Everything about these two factors of the game itself were perfectly executed, and come off as a true memory, unlike other titles, in the hearts of many Mario gamers everywhere.

    Going back to the levels, although they admittedly still remain more or less generic as like the New Super Mario Bros. series, many of them are very unique, and even failing that are actually very fun to play through. This is what actually makes for good Mario content: Fun, unique, thoughtfully designed levels that failing everything else, remain fun for most of if not the entire audience.

    Sadly, the worst part of the game itself would have to go down to the controls. Even though they're NOT bad, unlike certain other and later titles, at least, AT LEAST, they're not in the usual way. Sure, stomping on enemies multiple times is still discouraged, but it's not as bad as would usually be the case in this scenario, and I still cannot take off points for that since it's the usual algorithm for this scenario. Overall for that, it's better than most 3D Mario titles, but still could use some improvement.

    Overall, this title deserves a perfect 10 despite its usual problems when it comes to controls, level design, and other such stuff, among other things. This game is just beautifully designed, and admittedly could also use some bias for how incredibly well-done this game is. It still objectively deserves the perfect 10, though.

This game is beautiful, from the light effects, to the textures, to the lovely color shading. The controls are the smoothest of any Mario game, and the level design - be it the platforms themselves or the mechanics - are very well done. The stamps, stars, and extra levels allow for a lot of replay-ability, and the difficulty is very friendly to both casuals and professional gamers (depending on the save file difficulty and/or the level you're playing). Games like these are why I consider the Wii U to be the 2nd most underrated console behind the Dreamcast.

    Was it fun?

    There are still a lot of games that I want to play on the Wii U but this game remains to be my favorite game made on the Wii U.

    This is a mixture of the classic, 2D Mario games and the newer 3D Mario games. In my opinion they took the best elements of both games and created one of the best mario games of all time.

    Favorite Character?

    I like using Toad although there are a few stages where Peach is extremely useful.

    Would you play it again?

    Since I bought a Wii U last summer, I have played this game 4 times and I could absolutely see myself playing it again.

También los gráficos HD son muy bonitos, y bien logrados, nunca he detectado bajones de fps en el juego, y la verdad, los últimos niveles son los mejores (los de los mundos 9, 10, 11 y 12), algunos con referencias a los Mario Galaxy, otros completamente nuevos y con dificultad (sobre todo los del mundo 12, ideales para poner a prueba que tan bueno eres en este juego de Mario en 3D).

    Great game overall and very entertaining.
    Criticism goes to the reused 3D Land style of play and the non-original (always lacking) storyline. Peach had to be free anyway in order to serve multiplayer purposes.

    One of the only reasons to own a Wii U to be completely honest. While I am more of a fan of the open-air-esque levels of Odyssey and 64, the levels in 3D World blew me away in terms of fun.

    + Graphics: Pretty good, especially for a Mario game.

    Cons:
    - Requirements for 100%: ...BEAT EVERY LEVEL AS EVERY CHARACTER TO GET NOTHING EXCEPT FOR AN EXTRA STAR ON THE SAVE FILE?

    Overall, Super Mario 3D World warrants a 9/10 from me. Such a fantastic game.

    At its core, "Super Mario 3D World" might just seem like a "more blown-up version of 'Super Mario 3D Land'" on the Wii U. Whether or not that's true is beyond me, but I can tell you this: "Super Mario 3D World" is absolutely fantastic.
    It's tremendous and fun to play, the visuals are fantastic, the level design is brilliant, the music is beautifully composed, and the ability to play 4

    It's tremendous and fun to play, the visuals are fantastic, the level design is brilliant, the music is beautifully composed, and the ability to play 4 player co-op in a 3D Mario game (even if there's debate about it being a true 3D Mario game) only adds to the fun. Let's also not forget that there's plenty of challenge here (so you won't be breezing through the game in a snap), there is plenty to do and a good difficulty curve all-around, meaning that the adventure as a whole won't feel overly bland or simplistic.
    Sure, the camera can be finicky with four players, but all things told, "Super Mario 3D World" is truly one of the Wii U's best titles and it's a game that absolutely shouldn't be missed.
    Final rating: 10 out of 10 "Fantastic"

    So much content in this game, that and it's stunning graphics are where it really excels. Even the bonus levels have bonus levels. True to form in difficulty, simple at the beginning and more challenging as it progresses. Music in the game is charming and perfectly suited to level themes and characterisation is cute and better than ever on HD.

    Agree with Super Mario Galaxy comparisons,

    Agree with Super Mario Galaxy comparisons, definitely fills that gap until the third game is announced. Would have gladly gave a score of 10 but felt the game lacked imagination on the bonus levels on the world map, highly simple fruit machine concept and power-up box chooser games. Look back at Super Mario Bros. 3 with the card pairing or the shuffle match-up games, even a game from 25 years prior had a touch more magic in that area.

    Fun platformer but very safe for a 3d Mario adventure.

    A fun 3d platformer that can be played as a single or multi player. For a 3d mario title its a very linear experience that is very straight forward, some will prefer it others would like a more open style platforming experience. For a 3d mario console release cant help but feel this game plays it safe and tries to please both 2d

    Pro's :
    Lots of levels and idea's
    Multiplayer (may not be for everyone)
    Different playable chars with each there own feel and handling.
    Tight controls.
    Nice colourful graphics.
    Great soundtrack.

    Con's :
    Generic worlds and theme's.
    World map is pointless and doesnt add much to the game.
    Bosses are to easy.
    Levels are designed with multiplayer in mind, can feel restricted and to linear.
    Not much room to explore
    Life system is outdated, 1 ups don't feel rewarding.
    Insane difficulty spike on the very last level of the game, no good built up towards this stage.

    Yet another great Mario title from a great company. Mario 3D World lives up to its predecessor, 3D Land, and improves upon it with awesome multiplayer. It doesn't disappoint, and is worth the money

    I bought a Wii u with this game downloaded on the Wii u, at first I dabbled in it, not caring too much for it as I played the higher titles, boy was I and idiot. I have now come back to the game and absolutely adore it, I'm working on one hundred percenting it and I'm having a huge blast. Even the levels that I play again have new secrets to discover every single time.

    It's a great game, but not really original or amazing like Galaxy games. It just throws at you many many levels and you complete them, like in 2d entry. The addition of co-op can be painfull for your reliationships.

    This game was yet another solid, fun-for-days title in the Mario series.

    While not as revolutionary as Mario 64 or Galaxy, 3D World manages to feel simultaneously fresh and nostalgic in a way the New Super Mario Bros. series never quite realized.

    Mario Galaxies have finally gotten the follow up they so rightfully deserve. Fun, exciting and surprising, Super Mario 3D World is everything a good platformer needs to be. [Dec 2013]
