Nintendo 3DS Card

Super Mario Land 3D is a sidescrolling game in the Super Mario Land series for the Nintendo 3DS. It is the 4th installment in the series and is more based on the first game, Super Mario Land than the others in the series. The game will be released in December 2012.

Plot[]

In Sarasaland , the great alien Tatanga has returned and invaded the whole kingdom, and also, kidnapped Princess Daisy in a second try to marry her. Meanwhile, Mario and Luigi were in Peach's Castle, talking with Princess Peach. But suddenly, Toadbert, alongside Yellow Toad and Blue Toad, interrupts and tells the Bros. about Daisy's kidnapping and what happened in the Sarasaland Kingdom. Peach tells them to rescue her, and the Bros. and the two Toads of course accepts and head off to save Princess Daisy, the Sarasaland Kingdom, and defeat the evil Tatanga.

Gameplay[]

The gameplay is the same as the other sidescrolling games, but more like New Super Mario Bros games. Mario must travel across various worlds and levels and collect Coins and other things. However, unlike other games, Super Mario Land 3D takes place in Sarasaland, instead of being in the Mushroom Kingdom, like in the first previous game. Levels are still completed by reaching the Flagpole before the time runs out. The game features elements from New Super Mario Bros games and also reuses some elements from Super Mario Land. The game has 10 worlds, being 9 normal worlds and a special one. Also, the game features new power-ups, such as the Frosty Flower and the Laser Lens, and also old ones from other games like the Ice Flower and the Propeller Mushroom. The Superball Flower returns from Super Mario Land. Yoshis are rideable again and Baby Yoshis can be carried just like in New Super Mario Bros U.

A new concept similar to the Coins in New Super Mario Bros 2 as been added in this game, but for the Red Coins. The concept of passing through a Red Ring and making 8 Red Coins appear and collect all before time runs out is in the game, but there are other random things that can happen after touching the Red Ring. A Ruby Lakitu may appear and wildly throws 8 Red Coins, the player must catch them all and prevent them of falling. Enemies turn into Ruby enemies, and will drop Red Coins after being defeated, similar to that of the Gold enemies does with Coins.

Trivia[]

Unlike the other games in the Super Mario Land series, Super Mario Land 3D features species native to the Mushroom Kingdom, like Goombas, Koopas, Boos, and Cheep-Cheeps.
- However, it still features the Sarasaland enemies, Goombos, Bombshell Koopas, etc.
Blue Toad now has glasses, to let the two Toads look more different from each other.
Nintendo said that the logo has the colors of the three principal Coins, the Yellow Coin, Red Coin and the Blue Coin.
- Originally, the "3D" was going to be silver, resembling the Silver Coin, but got red colored for unknown reasons, maybe for not being a principal or important type of Coin.
