I got to the extra worlds.
I find the 3d part of the game very confusing. I never know where I'll land after I jump.

I played this after Super Mario 3D World, and this is basically a handheld version of that. Loved this game!

I really am enjoying 3D land, especially the special levels. It’s certainly proves itself as the prototype for 3D World.

I really am enjoying 3D land, especially the special levels. It’s certainly proves itself as the prototype for 3D World. But it has limitations that squarely situate it as a prototype rather than something that reaches the heights of 3D World. The two things that hold it back are the lack of overall cohesiveness that is present in 3D World, and the over reliance on the 3D gimmick of the 3DS.
The latter greatly holds the game back because it results in what is some of the sloppiest platforming I’ve seen in a Mario game, especially when played in 2D. To clarify, platforming in this game remains excellent, and there are some genius level designs, but precision platforming is often hurt by the fact that it can be difficult to identify where some objects and platforms are in 3D space. I really need to go back to 3D World, because I feel like they somehow solved that in the transition from 3D Land to 3D World. That aside, 3D Land is a great game and worth playing. I’m simply glad that 3D World was a significant iteration on this game.

So lord knows I'm not an enormous Mario fan. I've played my fair share, I really liked Sunshine and Double Dash a LOT, but this is one of the best platformers I've ever played, and that says something for someone that grew up playing platformers and still prefers them over any other genre lol This game was so much fun.

Well i beat it and am on to the special worlds now. Not sure if I will keep playing or not since i don't really like platformers that much. I don't think i would have made it through the end levels without the special tanooki suit.

Read moreI passed this game by back in 2011 when it first came out. I decided to pick it up and play it today since it's been sitting on my shelf for years. It's not my favourite Mario game and i find the lack of a triple jump somewhat annoying. It is however one of the few games where playing in 3D doesn't give me a headache. I should be able to finish it within the next couple days since i'm already on world 4/8. After this, i don't think i will be playing platformers again for a while since i don't have the patience to replay levels again and again when there are plenty of other games to move on to.
