What Gamespot Users have to say about Super Mario 3D Land

  • Rating:9

    A very wonderful handheld "Mario" platform.

    After what felt like a complete dearth of new games on the Nintendo 3DS for much of 2011, the door swung wide open when Nintendo brought out their first "Super Mario" platformer for the system, "Super Mario 3D Land." Aft... Read Full Review

    Needs to be ported to Switch, alongside 3D World, like yesterday

    This game, and the series generally, captures the best of Mario and puts a new spin on it. The controls are great, the levels creative and way different than other Mario games, and the music is classic Mario yet not rec... Read Full Review

    A great game, lacking replay

    This is an excellent game, typical Nintendo creativity all over the place. 3D is directly utilized into the gameplay messing with perspective and what not.The only issue I have is it lacks replay value or variety. Mario ... Read Full Review

    Because you gotta have the plumber wherever you may go.

    You can always count on Mario delivering the goods, at least it seems. Nintendo has been one disgusting company for quite a while now, releasing obnoxious games in a landslide, but Mario is Mario, you can't miss it. Lack... Read Full Review

    The FIRST original 3D Mario Game masterpiece that I've enjoyed playing!

    It has actually been some time since I've played and beaten this game, but I've been so consumed with trying to play and beat EVERYTHING that "Super Smash Bros. 4" for the Nintendo 3DS and all it has to offer, that I did... Read Full Review

    " An excellent spin on classic mario action."

    Super Mario : 3D Land is another one of Nintendo's classic Mario action reboots. Is this a bad thing? Not at all. Though there may be a repetitive and just plain simple storyline, the game-play more than makes up for... Read Full Review

    SM3d Land is a solid platformer that's elevated by the platform it's on.

    Mario is undoubtedly one of the most recognizable mascots in the history of forever. He has invaded just about every gaming genre- sports, platforming, RPG, racing, party… Just about everything except shooters an... Read Full Review

    A bit too easy

    I'm noticing a pattern here with Nintendo games now. Of the last three Nintendo games that I've bought (Link Between Worlds, Pokemon X and Super Mario 3D Land) all of them have been extremely fun and fantastically desig... Read Full Review

    Mario really gets innovative this time around

    This game will blow your mind. It will be amazing to see that such a big world is in such a small console. Super Mario 3D Land is the closest you will get to an open-world portable Mario game. You can't compare it to Ga... Read Full Review
