Any game that my wife and I bond over always gets bonus points in my book, and 3D World is superb in that regard

I definitely want a Super Mario 3D World 2!

Much like Galaxy 1 & 2, Super Mario 3D World feels like standing before a seemingly bottomless well of brilliant new ideas

The fine folks at Nintendo did us well with Super Mario 3D World and at this price it's definitely worth it

While highly rated at the time, Super Mario 3D World didn't seem to get quite the stellar level of praise the Galaxy games received before it or Odyssey has received recently--but it's actually a more perfectly enjoyable, fully satisfying game than either.

Overall Super Mario 3d World is fun but very forgetable in my opinion

Like the excellent Super Mario 3D Land (for the 3DS) before it, 3D World combines the 3D polygon graphics of Super Mario 64 and Sunshine with a slightly more open version of the streamlined gameplay found in the New Super Mario Bros. series.

I was worried this would have the lazy multiplayer of the NSMB games where all characters play the same and offer no real variety, but thankfully 3D World delivers the goods

Like the classic 2-D Mario games, you can't double or triple jump, which is jarring at first but ultimately makes for unique, old-school gameplay that feels new for a 3-D Mario game
