My fiancée got me this game for my birthday.

I initially thought the "3D" in the title was just some link to 3DS version, kind of like how a few WiiU games end in "U". After playing for a bit I found that it was actually meant to signify that this was a 2D Super Mario game, but in a 3D space. It's a nice idea, and I found it quite novel. It felt like I was playing the original 2D Mario games.

I had so much fun with this game. The single player was great and the added option for drop-in multiplayer was a great addition. The main game wasn't too challenging, but I found it fun and relaxing because of this.

After finishing the main game, you are treated to a few more, extra difficult, stages. These really test your timing and jumping abilities. You are also challenged to go back and complete all the levels with each of the 5 playable characters. This is a great obstacle for any completionist playing the game.

Once that's complete, you are rewarded with the game's final world, World Crown. In this world there are 3 levels, and one of them, Champion's Road, is the most difficult stage in any game I have ever attempted. I spent ages just trying to complete the level, nevermind having to complete it with each character. If anyone ever says Mario games are too easy, this is the level I will smash into their incorrect faces.

That being said, I powered through, and finally (After hundreds of lost lives) managed to 100% complete the game. A great sense of achievement from my side.

If you're a fan of any of Mario's previous platforming adventures, you will love this game. I highly recommend.

100% Completed Both Games

Completioner Seven Review | Super mario 3D World + bowsers fury 100%

This game is fun, it's creative and it's full of content, it's the 2nd game I have ever completed, and I'm excited to share my experience with everyone!

Completionists Expireince

First, how do you 100% 3D world?

On your save a file, 100% would look like this:

There are 5 stars + a sparkle , each star representing a big land mark in your journy!

Star * : This star marks the player defeating meowser in World 8 *

Star ** : This marks collecting the 3 green stars found in every level

Star *** : This marks the player having a complete stamp board (collect all stamps)

Star **** : The player must reach the top of the flag pole in every level with every character. Since there are 5 characters, players will need to beat the game at least twice. It's recommended to play with friends since this is the most challenging and time-consuming star to collect.

Star ***** : Complete the 3 World Crown levels with every charactar

Sparkly stars: New use the invincibility tanooki suit gained when beging defeated by a course enough

Completionists proof: save file date may also back up my proof :)

Ratings

Story: 7/10 still bland and forgettable though I do like that We were not rescuing peach this time like usual instead there were 7 sprixies to be rescued in each world

level design (8/10) creative and inovattive

Bowsers Fury

The criteria for 100%ing this game is literally just

So I played the Nintendo Switch version. I know this Is under the Wii U version, but I wanted to make a review for Bowser's Fury on that version. So pretend this is the Switch version. With that being said

Super Mario 3D World is a game that I never got to play during the Wii U era. So I was extra excited to play this for the Switch. And It's as good as I heard it was

This game had a very weird history. The Wii U wasn't doing very well but many were looking forward to a new 3D Mario game that was yet to be announced. The E3 announcement was extremely disappointing for this reason. It wasn't a NEW 3D Mario game. It was just Super Mario 3D Land on the Wii U with 4 players.

However, many (myself included) learned to appreciate this game more after Super Mario Oddysey came out. The game is just a blast to go through

The Music is so good. It has a Jazz theme and these songs were huge in keeping my interest because it was just a sensory overload of amazing music.

The levels (Though very short) offer plenty of replayability no thanks to each level having 3 Green Stars and 1 Stamp.

There are 8 worlds with 4 bonus worlds if certain conditions are met. Making a total of 12 worlds to go through. Each are just beautiful thanks to the amazing graphics. Each level isn't too easy to where you get bored. They are all fairly challenging and even rage-inducing in some instances.

The story for once isn't about rescuing Princess Peach. You're instead saving the 7 Sprixie Princesses which is an interesting departure from other Mario games.

There are also more characters to play as than just Mario and each have their own strengths and weaknesses.

Mario is average all around. Average jump, speed, traction, etc.

Luigi has the highest jump in the game but he has horrible traction making platforming pretty difficult

Blue Toad is the fastest and strongest character but he has the worst jump in the game

Princess Peach has pretty weak jumping distance but she makes up for it with a floaty jump

And the Unlockable character, Princess Rosalina. She is the slowest character but is the only character with a spin move making jumps easier and attacking easier.

This gives you the choice to play as the character you're most comfortable with which adds a lot of replay value if you wanna try out a new character.

The gameplay carries over from the Wii U version but it included ground-pound jumps and rolling from Odyssey. We also can't talk about 3D World without the powerups. You got the mushroom, fire flower, Tanooki Leaf, Boomerang Flower, Star, the New Double Cherry, and two versions of the Cat Bell which is the main item of the game.

If you get to the top of the flagpole, get all the green stars, and stamps, you unlock the 4 bonus worlds which leads to Rosalina and the hardest level in the game. Champions Road... Good luck. You must beat every level with every character to truly 100% the game like I did.

Super Mario 3D World is a colorful and imaginative experience with lots of replay value and charm. Sure some levels are pretty forgettable and has some problems here and there (Specifically in level design). But it's a really fun game to go through

4/5

Would Recommend

I just finished the main story, but it looks like there's some additional content I'll check out after.

Ain't nothin' wrong with this game. I mean, I went into this thinking it would be a fun little platformer and a good way to get used to the Wii U, but I was pleasantly surprised by how much fun it was! Not being incredibly difficult, it was a nice relaxing adventure with a cute little story about Bowser trapping fairies in bottles. That being said, I did die 156 times, so it's not exactly a cake walk the whole time.

I really like when platforming games congratulate you for thinking outside of the box, and 3D World makes good use of the third dimension. Every once in a while, there will be a secret hidden down a corridor that in a 2D game would be unavailable, so you're not necessarily drawn to it initially. It makes great use of the space.

The new power-ups are also a lot of fun. Though I initially thought the cat suit was a little childish, it grew to be one of my favourites ones. The collectibles were also worthwhile. For one, you actually need green stars to progress in the game, but I even thought collecting the stamps was a lot of fun. They were usually hidden in more obscure locations, and it was amusing seeing how each stamp reflected the level in which it was discovered.

After trying each character once, I only ever used Mario throughout the game unless I noticed a secret that could only be unlocked with the other characters. I could see the other characters being more fun in multiplayer, however.

Finally, the Captain Toad levels were awesome! It actually made me interested in looking up that new Captain Toad game that I heard about but didn't think much of. Great little puzzles. Overall a wonderful game!

UPDATE: There certainly is more to do after the main story, and holy bananas does it get difficult. To unlock the very last bit, you need to collect every single thing in the game, so I'll start working on that :P

Hace poco “terminé” Super Mario 3D World, y la razón por la que pongo entre comillas la palabra “terminé” es la misma que me lleva a escribir esto; derroté al jefe final (una épica batalla contra Gato-Bowser), vi los créditos, y sin embargo me queda una molesta sensación de que el asunto no está terminado y cuando paso a lado de mi biblioteca de juegos no puedo evitar sentir que está esperando a que lo ponga de nuevo en mi WiiU.

OK, creo que me estoy alejando mucho del propósito básico de una “crítica”, pero quiero enfocarme en este tema así que salgamos rápido de la obligación: Super Mario 3-D World es un juego maravilloso, uno de los mejores juegos de plataformas que he jugado en mi vida. Tan bueno es que me ha hecho considerar que puede ser mejor que Super Mario Galaxy e incluso que Super Mario 64. Tiene el mejor diseño de niveles que he podido disfrutar en un título de este género, el diseño de personajes es adorable, la música es muy pegajosa, la curva de dificultad es perfecta, se puede jugar con Peach, Toad y Rosalina y... ¡y es que no hay nada en este juego que no sea digno de amor!

Bueno, el hecho de que se repitan los combates contra algunos de los jefes. Eso no es muy bueno. Y también tenemos el problema de “terminarlo”. Ahora si, entremos en tema.

Como todos los buenos juegos de plataformas. En Super Mario 3D World tenemos una buena lista de coleccionables que encontrar. El principal de ellos son las estrellas verdes que nos abren acceso a nuevos mundos. Cada nivel tiene al menos 3 de ellas (algunos niveles de bonus tienen más) y conseguirlas es un excelente reto, pues nos obligan a explorar a fondo cada mapa, realizar tremendas muestras de habilidad y ser muy curiosos. Para aquellos que buscan exprimir a fondo este juego esta es una excelente misión y a mitad de mi partida yo ya había decidido que una vez llegara al final del juego recorrería de nuevo todos los niveles para encontrar estas y los demás coleccionables que me quedaran pendientes (como los sellos, uno oculto por nivel, y la bandera de oro, alcanzando la parte más alta de cada meta).

Pero la situación se complicó un poco.

Derroté a Bowser al final del mundo 7. Creía que era el final del juego y me estaba preparando para comenzar a recolectar las estrellas... pero resulta que no era así y un nuevo mundo apareció ante mi. Esto me alegró, pues estaba disfrutando mucho Super Mario 3-D World y no quería que se acabara tan pronto. Pero una vez terminé este mundo, y vi los créditos, otro mundo más fue desbloqueado.

Era obvio. Todos los juegos de Mario tienen mundos secretos y este también. Lo recibí con alegría, pero estaba comenzando a desear terminar con este juego pronto para comenzar otros diferentes, lastimando mis intenciones de ir por el 100%

¿Adivinan qué pasó cuando terminé todos los niveles de este mundo?

Efectivamente, se desbloqueó otro mundo secreto más, junto con la ̶a̶m̶e̶n̶a̶z̶a̶ promesa de OTRO MÁS en el horizonte.

Esto era demasiado, me sentí abrumado y decidí revisar en Internet cuanto más contenido me iba a encontrar en este título...¡y observé con horror que además de estos dos mundos aún tendría que desbloquear otro más! Y eso no era todo. Resulta que para realmente completar el juego no iba a bastar con encontrar todas las estrellas, sellos e izar la bandera al final de cada nivel, sino que tendría que hacerlo CON CADA UNO DE LOS CINCO PERSONAJES.

De inmediato abandoné el juego y mis intenciones de terminarlo al 100% murieron por completo.

Quiero que quede claro lo que dije al comienzo de este texto. Super Mario 3D World es un juego maravilloso y sin duda uno de mis favoritos. Es seguro que los jugadores más obsesivos van a encontrar en el reto de completarlo al 100% algo que les satisfaga. Con el precio de los juegos hoy en día es de agradecer que estos tengan esta clase de elementos que aumenten las horas de juego y contenido para quienes quieran involucrarse en ello... pero no es para todo el mundo. Yo me encontré más que satisfecho sin completar todos los niveles secretos, pero por siempre me va a quedar la molestia de que el juego me quedó “incompleto”.

Quedé sin conocer parte del contenido del juego, no me convertí en un maestro de todos los personajes controlables, quedaron muchos huecos vacíos en los listados de coleccionables encontrados y no puedo evitar que eso me moleste un poco. Me repito que tal vez algún día regresaré a el, que ahora quiero jugar cosas diferentes, pero la sola idea de tener que jugar todos los niveles cinco veces (sin contar las veces extra que me tome encontrar sus secretos) me causa dolor de cabeza. ¿Quién tiene tiempo para esto? Me digo, mientras vuelvo a pensar en ello una y otra vez.
