Product ReviewsSuper Mario 3D World (Nintendo Wii U, 2013)

Teamwork makes the dream work.

Super Mario 3D World is much like a return to classic style Mario games with structured level gameplay and a simple story. While the gameplay is very simple and the level design is minimalistic, that does not mean the gameplay is boring. The levels are engaging, and there are secrets everywhere.
While the game can be played in Single Player, it is very heavily oriented towards a co-op, multiplayer experience involving lots of teamwork. And while this is a nice feature, it is also one of its greatest flaws. At times, it can be hard to keep track of who you are on the screen, and can be a little annoying if you don't have a group who can stick together and accomplish goals as a team and won't get too competitive or greedy.
So in short, this is a great game for families and friends who want to have a team building experience, this is a fantastic game. However, if you're planning on playing this with little kids, just be sure to be patient with them, and remember to have fun.Read full review...

Received item.

I bought item for a Christmas present. Game has a plain white case which was disappointing because I was expecting a real case with picture of game on it or at least the title of game on it. Oh well i will find out if it works correctly after Christmas Read full review...

It's Mario at his best!!

This has quickly become one of my absolute favorite Mario games!! The game play is so much fun. There is so much to explore on each level that you'll find yourself running out of time. I have found myself replaying many of the levels, which is not something I normally enjoy. As typical Mario, the levels become more challenging as you advance, but not frustratingly so. It's a perfect combo of old and new Mario alike. The new cat suit adds so much extra to this game. In my opinion, this is a Mario game that multiple age groups will enjoy. Every Wii U owner should have this in their collection!!Read full review...

Fun Game, But Can Be Frustrating

This is a really enjoyable game to play with friends, and I love the different character options to utilize different abilities. The only downside is if you play alone and die, you have to start from the last checkpoint, and if you play with friends, dying makes you lose a life, but you get bubbled back to your friends (the downside here is that the more players, the more chances to mess up for the team and miss level stars.

Still playing through it with two others, and I love it, but I also hate how infuriating it can be at times haha. I really want to dock a star or two because of how angry this game makes me at times, but it's not the game's fault that I am horrible at 3D platformers!Read full review...

replacement for son..

My son loves this game but unfortunately he accidentally broke the one we had for the Wii U. As the Wii U is no longer an actively selling gaming system I was worried that it would be hard to replace but I was able to find it pretty quickly and get it for very cheap at least a lot cheaper than I initially paid for it.... Cellar put it in the mail straight away and we got it within 3 days of ordering it so Kudos on shipping speed as well! In my daughter and son are happy to have their game back and started playing it right away!Read full review...

Small gripes aside, this is a solid game. "Must have" for Wii U.

The Mario Bros. games will always be awesome and have a place in my heart... With this said, there have been some changes through the years in the series. Some of them good, some of them bad. Let me start by saying that the graphics, textures, and all the other things that come with the advance of technology has made the series "look" better. With that being said in my opinion the games have become harder to control because of the dumbing down of the gameplay and the over-complications of the controls themselves. I am not complaining about having more buttons and more "moves" to do with those buttons... Basically "long story short", as an example the jump mechanics have a different trajectory than that of previous Mario Bros. games and it seems like this is another trait that suffers with each new installment. Small gripes aside, this is a solid game and I would definitely call it a "must have" for the Wii U.Read full review...

Nintendo has done it again!

It is such a fun game to play with the family. It is very bright, colorful and vibrant! With 4 players it is very cool. However, sometimes it is hard to tell depth and positioning on the maps due to camera angle and some lighting and shadows.Read full review...

Fun game

I know what you might be thinking: "It's just another Mario game." And you would be correct. But it's another great Mario game. The 3D aspect adds enough of a twist that it feels fun and fresh while still staying true to its roots. This game challenges your brain in new ways with interesting new puzzles. It's a great multiplayer game for parties or families. I'd absolutely recommend this game to anyone.Read full review...

Different than other Mario's

IDK if it lives up to the hype but it feels fresh compared to the slew of multiplayer side scrollers out there. I don't like fixed camera 3D games but this is better than most. I still like other Wii U games more though, definitely wouldn't rank it at the top with BotW etc.Read full review...
