    This game had its moments. Is it a Galaxy or Odyssey? No. 3D World was fun, the four player aspect was fun, but the downfall was the time limit in each level. I get it, it was structured like an old school Mario game with the flagpole and everything, but time limits aren't fun unless they are a special stipulation in a certain level. The game did play well and it looked good.

    I haven't actually beaten the game fully as of now, but you can turn into kittens. Is there anymore to say? Oh? There is? How about that this game has 12 worlds. 4 bonus ones. Oh? Not enough? This was had THE HIGHEST AMOUNT OF LEVELS in a platformer. (At it's time....) I give this 10/10, even IF I keep dying and are stuck on that last Bowser world level...

    Super Mario 3D World, un juego de Mario en 3D, pero ahora con gráficos HD, niveles finales muy complicados, ideal para jugar con amigos y familiares, ya que posee un cooperativo local para hasta 4 jugadores, y cualquier nivel puede ser superado en modo cooperativo o multijugador local.

A pesar de que los fans esperaban un Super Mario Galaxy 3 (después del éxito del 1 y 2, que también son realmente buenos), Nintendo trajo una nueva propuesta de Super Mario para Wii U, muy parecido a Super Mario 3D Land, y aunque los primeros niveles del juego no son un verdadero reto, el juego si esta a la altura de Mario Galaxy 1 y 2 y de Super Mario 64, lo único que hacía falta es un modo multijugador Online, pero a pesar de todo esto este juego merece la pena tenerlo si tienes Wii U. 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). Otra cosa buena de este juego son los niveles del Capitán Toad (gracias a estos niveles se inspiró un juego sobre Capitán Toad, muy parecido en cuanto a gráficos con Super Mario 3D World). Una cosa que si hecho en falta un poco es la dificultad de los primeros mundos, pero una vez llegas a los finales, de verdad un cambio drástico para bien. Uno de los mejores juegos de Wii U. Expand

    Super Mario 3D World is a marvel. Fantastic levels, incredible music, beautiful graphics that make the Mona Lisa look like dirt and dust, and the four playable characters all immerse the gameplay. This is a 3D game playing like a 2D Mario game done right.

    If you like mario 3d land this game is for you. with a great single player story fun multiplayer and fun levels. But I feel like this game is to easy for its own good. But the after credits content is challenging. And the mutiplayer adds challenge. And with that you need to collect stars. Which provides explortion. Overall this game is fun and something everyone should try.

    Super Mario 3D World[a] is a 2013 platform video game developed and published by Nintendo for the Wii U. It is the sixth original 3D platform game in the series and the sequel to the 2011 Nintendo 3DS game Super Mario 3D Land.

The game follows Mario and friends attempting to rescue fairy-like creatures called Sprixies from Bowser, who invades the realm known as the Sprixie Kingdom. The gameplay is similar to previous installments of the series, with players passing through individual levels to reach Bowser. The game also introduces a power-up called the Super Bell, which turns the character being played into a cat, enabling them to climb walls and use a scratch attack, as well as a character selector.

    The signature 3D Mario game of the Wii U console.

    Oh wait...where is the...Peach is free... but Bowser is the kidnapper again... wow original...

    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.

    A decent 8.

    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.

    Pros: + Gameplay: SO MUCH FUN! The cat suit is by far my favorite power up in Mario history. + Co-Op: It's basically Gameplay x4. + Soundtrack: Pretty great. + Level Design: 99.5% Fun, .5%

    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.

    This game is alright and can be fun with friends, but they could've done a little better. This did have more variety than Super Mario 3D Land, and the graphics are really great, but it's just the same set up, like all the New Super Mario Bros games. It's still fun though.

    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 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 :

    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.

    Its an average game with not the best game play. Levels follow to much of a linear pattern which gave it a Super Mario Bros feel rather than a Galaxy or Odyssey feel. The levels are mostly boring and easy with exception to the last one. Finally, the green stars can be a pain to collect and take time out of the actual game play.

    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.

    Super Mario 3D World may not be as good as Galaxy, Sunshine or 64 but they did manage to make another solid Mario title. It looks beautiful the levels are creative and the new power ups are cheesy and funny but surprisingly good. Yeah it seems rushed and sort of unnecessary, but it's music and it's oddly different story still makes it a great game.

Aunque el juego también tiene su virtudes como el multijugador más sólido (el mejor de a saga) y la calidad gráfica. Pero sus virtudes no alcanzan a justificar sus defectos.

    Lamentablemente este es el principal y único juego de Mario 3D de la Wii U (repito no es un mal juego solo no está a la altura de sus antecesores). El juego no generó las suficientes expectativas para ser un vende consolas (como lo fueron y son galaxy y odyssey).

    Yo creo que este juego debió ser presentado como un juego de Mario multijugador no como el siguiente plataforma de Mario 3D. Que bueno que aprendieron de ese error con la Nintendo Switch.
