Gameplay

edit
Luigi, Toad, Peach, and Mario sprint through level 2-4.

The game levels play similarly to those ofSuper Mario 3D Land,which combine the free-roaming gameplay of theSuper Mariofranchise's 3D games with the mechanics of its 2D side-scrollers, including a timer and a level-ending flagpole.[5]Up to four concurrent players may controlcharacters,who areMario,Luigi,Princess Peach,Toad,and the unlockableRosalina.Similar to their appearances inSuper Mario Bros. 2,[6]each of the characters possesses unique abilities and controls differently: Mario has balanced running speed and jump height; Luigi jumps higher and falls slower, but has slightly lower traction; Peach can jump and briefly float through the air, but runs slowly; Toad runs the fastest, but cannot jump as high and falls faster; Rosalina can use the spin attack move as seen in theSuper Mario Galaxygames, but has the slowest running speed.[7]The player can select any of the five characters to use before beginning a level, and up to four players may explore the same level simultaneously, sharing from a pool oflives.Players are also able to pick up, carry, and throw each other.[8]

Levels are accessed through a world map, in which players can find hidden areas to earn more items or coins. Each level contains three collectable Green Stars, which are required to access certain levels, and each main level contains a hidden Stamp which was used in handwritten posts to the now defunctMiiverseonline community. Players can also view messages left by other players, both on the world map and after clearing a level, and can download 'Mii Ghosts', which are live records of other players completing levels. Ghosts can be raced against, and may hold gift prizes such as coins or extra lives.[9]Additional Green Stars can be earned in Captain Toad, Mystery House, and Challenge levels.[10][11]

Along with items returning from previous games, such as the Fire Flower, Super Leaf, Mega Mushroom, Propeller Box, andBoomerangFlower, several items are introduced. The Super Bell gives players a Cat Suit, allowing them to run faster, perform unique attacks and climb up walls to reach new areas. A variation of the Super Bell, the Lucky Bell, allows the player to temporarily transform their character into alucky cat statuethat awards coins under certain conditions.[12]Double Cherries make acloneof the player, allowing for more effective attacks and a higher chance of survival; the more Double Cherries a player uses, the more clones appear. Players can wear Cannon Boxes which fire shots at enemies, Light Blocks which can defeat ghosts, andGoombamasks which let them blend in with enemy Goombas. Players are able to pick up various objects, such as bombs, baseballs, and Piranha Plants (which can be used to defeat enemies or solve puzzles), and can ride in a Skating Shoe or on an aquatic dinosaur named Plessie.[13]

TheWii U GamePadallows players to rub thetouchscreen,blow into themicrophoneto reveal hidden blocks or items, hinder enemies, activate mechanisms, and useOff-TV Play.[14]The game is compatible with theWii Remote,Nunchuk,Classic Controller,andWii U Pro Controller.[15]An unlockable Luigi-themed version ofMario Bros.,Luigi Bros.,is accessed by clearing the game or by having save data fromNew Super Luigi U.[16]

Plot

edit

Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Toad are watching a fireworks show near Princess Peach's Castle until they find a tilted glasspipe.After Mario and Luigi fix it, a green fairy-like Sprixie princess appears and tells them thatBowserhas kidnapped and trapped six other Sprixie princesses in jars. He arrives and captures her before escaping through the pipe, with the heroes subsequently entering it and pursuing him. They find themselves in a realm known as "The Sprixie Kingdom" and set off to find the Sprixies. Each of the Sprixies are rescued in the different worlds. After the heroes save the final one, Bowser recaptures all seven and heads to hisamusement parkfortress. Thereafter, Bowser uses the Super Bell to transform into a cat form called Meowser. The group proceeds to climb the tallest tower and defeat Meowser. The heroes say goodbye to the Sprixies and travel home through the pipe back to theMushroom Kingdom.

Development

edit

Development onSuper Mario 3D Worldbegan shortly after the release ofSuper Mario 3D LandwithNintendo EAD Tokyoheading the project;1-Up Studioprovided developmental assistance.[17][better source needed]A staff of 100 personnel, including producerYoshiaki Koizumi,wrote ideas for game mechanics on sticky notes, which were collected upon the studio walls. Ideas approved by the team would be implemented in-game for testing. Co-director Kenta Motokura stated, "We discussed and discarded a huge number of ideas during development – sometimes you just can't tell if an idea is good or bad by looking at it on the drawing board; when this happens, we try it out in-game. If we don't find the idea fun, it won't make it into the final product. There was a lot of back and forth on the course designs due to this."[18]Co-directorKōichi Hayashidastated thatSuper Mario 3D Worldwas intended to be a Wii U game for the fanbase ofNew Super Mario Bros.,as well as a de facto continuation ofSuper Mario 3D Land.[18]Implementing the game's multiplayer feature was proven to be complicated, as the team's goal was to perfect the camera for all four players simultaneously without them "feel[ing..] left out". Motokura expressed that the game was designed to be both "highly intuitive and readily accessible".[18]"We designed this game so that the players could really sink into it and clear all the courses without having to read lots of text or deal with difficult controls, whether playing by themselves or with others," Motokura added. Koizumi said that the team "went all out inserting elements [that allow] players to further enjoy the sprawling environments."[18]

Ideas for the game's feline costumery came early in development, to implement an attack mechanic, introduce the ability to climb walls, and help novice players to clear obstacles. "When we started out, we were thinking about different kinds of actions that Mario could do," said Motokura in an interview withIGN."Thinking about those different actions[...] it turned out that a cat was a perfect animal that everybody knows."[19]

Regarding power-ups, Motokura said the process of including power-ups being included involve balancing a novice player's experience between difficulty and "what was fun about the game". He added that the team wanted to introduce "new" ways to use classic power-ups, such as using theFire Floweron clear pipes.[19]

Inspiration for the Double Cherry, whichclonesa player character, came late in development when a level designer erroneously inserted an extra copy of Mario's character model into a level. The team was relieved to see that the game did notcrashwith two identical characters present, and were amused that both could be controlled simultaneously. Developers "scrambled" to include this feature in the final game.[18]Motokura stated that it is also designed for single players to "[...help] replicate some situations" with multiplayer elements.[19]

The decision to include a free-roaming world map was "a very important element", and gave the team more "freedom" to locate higher-difficulty levels. "In just one world, the world map, you can have all kinds of different experiences. [...we] want to emphasize some of the other elements that are free-form within the world maps," Motokura said.[19]

According to Hayashida, Peach wasn't originally intended to be a playable character until producerYoshiaki Koizumisuggested for her inclusion. Speaking withPolygon,Koizumi reasoned that it's to emphasize female representation. "I feel like Mario games, as you know, have done lots of representation of male characters over the years.", he said. "Perhaps much more so than female — so it's actually really nice to be able to have a female playable character in the game."[20]Miyamoto also commented on his own reasoning by saying "I'll add that cat women have a sexy side to them and I wanted to see what a feline Peach would look like (laughs) ".[21]Koizumi added, "I think she adds a lot to the sense of competition when you get in multiplayer. You can have different people choosing different characters based on their personality or whoever they like."[20]Similarly, Rosalina was later added as a playable character. Motokura said, "I was thinking about what would be pleasing after the ending and wanted to bring in another female character in addition to Princess Peach. Rosalina has a following among theSuper Mario Galaxyfanbase, and she appeared inMario Kartrecently, so I think she's well known. "[22]Yoshiwas also planned at one point, but was dropped due to much of his moves being too similar to other functions of characters and items, such as Peach's floating, the Piranha Plant's chomping, and Plessie's riding abilities (who can allow three additional characters).[19]

According to Koizumi, the game was also planned to have astereoscopic 3Dfeature similar toSuper Mario 3D Land,but was dropped due to multiplayer concerns over the use of3D glasses.[19]Shigeru Miyamoto,the creator ofMario,said that "the team had a strong desire from the very start to call it3D World".[23]

Music

edit

The game's soundtrack was composed byMahito Yokota(also the sound director),Toru Minegishi,Koji Kondo,and Yasuaki Iwata, and performed by the Mario 3D World Big Band, which they formed after being inspired by jazz music.[3]"There are naturally a lot of tracks performed live," stated Yokota. "We're arranging the music with a big-band feel, taking advantage of a full horn section with trumpets and saxophones."[24]In addition to the game's new compositions, it features new arrangements from games such asSuper Mario Bros. 2as well.[3]

In developing the music, Yokota mentioned that he worked on "fun, energetic" tracks to match the game's cat theme, with a few even using electric guitar and trombone tunes imitating a cat's "meowing" sounds.[3]After working onSuper Mario Galaxyandits successor,one of Yokota's goals for the soundtrack is to shift musical direction from the games since the majority of3D Worldtakes place on the ground. "The game chiefly takes place onterra firma,so there isn't the majestic or floaty feel of theMario Galaxyseries; instead, the music has a more rhythmic atmosphere, something you'll want to dance to, "he said. When asking about live orchestrated soundtracks for the game, previously done in theSuper Mario Galaxygames, aDestructoidreporter was asked to "[w]ait for more information about that soon."[4]

A soundtrack was released forClub Nintendomembers in Japan, Australia, and Europe, featuring 77 tracks across two CDs.[25][26]

Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury

edit
Further information:Bowser's Fury

An enhancedportfor theNintendo Switch,Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury,[34]was announced on September 3, 2020, as part of theSuper Mario Bros.35th Anniversary-themedNintendo Directand released worldwide on February 12, 2021, alongside Cat Mario and Cat PeachAmiibofigures.[35]The port adds an online multiplayer option, Amiibo functionality to spawn power-ups, a Snapshot feature for taking in-game screenshots, and four-player co-op to the Captain Toad levels. Other differences include the base speed of characters being increased and the stamps unlocked throughout the game, originally intended for the now-discontinued Miiverse service, can now be used to decorate the environment in Snapshot mode.[36][37][38][39]

The newBowser's Furycampaign follows Mario as he winds up in a place known as Lake Lapcat and teams up withBowser Jr.in order to stop Bowser, who has been transformed by an inky substance into Fury Bowser. Unlike the main campaign,Bowser's Furytakes place in a large free-roaming area, similar to otheropen worldSuper Mariogames. Mario must explore the islands in order to retrieve Cat Shines. Bowser Jr., who can be controlled by a second player, can assist Mario by using his paintbrush to attack enemies and reveal secrets. Occasionally, Fury Bowser awakens and begins to attack, transforming the island in certain places. By collecting the Cat Shines, Mario gains access to the Giga Bell, a large version of the Super Bell, which transforms Mario into Giga Cat Mario so that he can take on Fury Bowser.[40][41][42][43]

Reception

edit

Super Mario 3D Worldreceived "universal acclaim" on the Wii U version, and "generally favorable reviews" for the Switch port, according to thereview aggregationwebsiteMetacritic.[44]It won awards from many media outlets, including Game of the Year fromEurogamer,Digital Spy,andMSNUK.

Famitsugave the game a score of 38/40.[52]IGN's Jose Otero gave3D Worlda 9.6/10, praising the visual design's "youthful energy," the "interesting risks" taken with the level designs, the "maddening challenge" offered by later worlds, and the "genuinely funny and memorable co-op". He said, "I reveled in the sheer brilliance of how much energy and gameplay mileage Nintendo has packed into every world." Otero's only complaint was that "the camera becomes a slight obstacle in four-player multiplayer".[64]GameTrailersgave the game a score of 9.5, praising its gameplay and presentation, while criticizing camera issues and some odd control choices.[77]Henry Gilbert ofGamesRadargave the game a score of 4.5/5, praising improved multiplayer and some moments so brilliant that they can make some other levels seem dull by comparison.[56]Luke Plunkett ofKotakucalled it "a terrific video game...just not a very good Wii U game", praising the game itself, but lamenting that it doesn't do much to show off the Wii U's capabilities.[78]Patrick Klepek atGiant Bomb,said "Worldcontinues to make the case that it's possible to reinvent a classic over and over again ".[79]

Anime News Network's Heidi Kemps gave the game an A grade, calling it "fun, imaginative, and filled with little surprises and delights".[80]Edgerated the game 9/10, calling it "Wii U's best game to date," and "the most next-gen game that 2013 has yet produced," and stating that Mario is the most fun character to play as because "his cohorts' abilities aren't anything special".[48]Destructoid's Chris Carter awarded the game a 10/10, praising the power-ups, such as the catsuit, which "opens up doors platforming-wise that weren't there before", and the Double Cherry, with which "Nintendo really outdid themselves in terms of the technical mechanics" to make possible, the "incredibly sharp" graphics, and "one of the bestOSTsI've ever heard ". Carter wrote that" the only downfall of the design is the selection of Boss fights ", as Nintendo" had achieved a level of platforming design that's close to perfection ".[47]Joystiq's Richard Mitchell gave the game 5/5 stars, praising the "astounding" visual craftsmanship, "excellent soundtrack", and "artful, purposeful design" which "communicates goals with complete clarity".[66]GameZone's Mike Splechta stated "With multiple characters to play as (harking back toSuper Mario Bros. 2) and an unlockable fifth, a fantastic and unobtrusive multiplayer component and enough new power-ups to make even Mario's head spin, you're bound to have a highly enjoyable time with one of the best 3D platformers released thus far. "[81]

Eurogamer's Christian Donlan gave the game a 10/10, describing it as "an endless freewheeling treat of a game" with an "ad-libbed drive to...explore how many different situations Mario can be squashed into". He noted that this inventiveness carries over to the "lavish and quick-changing" soundtrack, saying it "is pastiche at its most skillful, its most panoramic."[51]Cheat Code Central's Jenni Lada gave the game a 5/5, calling it "the closest we will ever come to a perfectMariogame, one that is a culmination of every right decision ever made in the series. "[82]Nintendo World Reportstated that it is aMariogame that one would want to continue playing once the game is beaten and may be the killer app of the Wii U, saying "Thankfully3D Worldisn't just a refinement of theMarioformula, it's a powerful re-imagining. It's an explosive cavalcade of color and excitement as well as a well thought out evolution ofMario."[68]Bob Chipman ofThe Escapistgave the game four out of five stars, but was slightly critical of it, saying "Buy it if you love that little plumber, and enjoy the new toys, but don't expect your mind to be blown."[83]
