Super Mario 3D Land

Super Mario 3D Land was released in Japan on November 3rd, America on November 13th, Europe on November 18th, and Australia on November 24th 2011.

Mario is once again, on another adventure to save Princess Peach from Bowser. The game combines elements of 2D platformes of the past and the 3D adventure you found from Super Mario Galaxy. Mario also has some more tools for his adventure and the ability of 3D.

So is this 3D mario adventure fun for the whole family, or is it just a a block of bricks?

Lets Find Out!

Story:
Really, are you asking me a story to a Super Mario game? Ah well, there isn't much there. A tree which contained leaves, which are actually super leaves are blown away by a thunder storm. In reality though, it is Bowsers plot to give his minions new abilities, and mario findes out the princess is captured by Bowser again. Thats all I can give you!

Gameplay:
The gameplay is well made, with elements from the Super Mario Galaxy game. The game has good control and is best enjoyed with the 3D activated to solve some puzzles and just for more of the experience.

Mario this time has a few new power-ups in this game. The Tanooki suit makes a return, allowing Mario to glide over all the enemies and get to the flag. He can also spin his tail to attack goomba's and what not.

The boomaring flower allows, when picked up, to throw boomarings attacking enemies from a distence.


The propeller block makes a return from New Super Mario Bros Wii allowing Mario to fly up, then slowly glide down.


Other power ups are the Ice flower, Fire flower, the ever classic Star, and the iconic mushroom.
All you have to do is traverse through the obsticle course filled with death traps, monsters and many other condrems in about 299 seconds. Have Fun!

Starcoins also make a return as in later in the game, they are really needed.

The game also uses the Streetpass feature to give you extra puzzlez, and help with item houses. You may also compare times with your friends on your friend list.

Artstyle:
Mario games have always been very cartonish, and this game is no exception. The style is inspired by the Nintendo 64 game Super Mario with its many world scnearios. This game for a portable system has pretty good graphics and hopefully, will never get old.

Music:
The music is once again, very well done. The enviroments the music is in ar just perfect and fit the Mario series well.

Final Verdict:
This game is pretty loads of fun. The game is greatly controled, great music, and also great artstlye. So load up a level and have fun.
