There are three coins on each level and while some of them are out in the open, you’ll need dig around to find most of them. Gold star coins are hidden throughout the levels, giving you yet more things to search for. While each level in Super Mario 3D Land is smaller than you might expect, it really does suit the portable format and despite the size the levels are jam packed full of content. While the flag pole at the end of the level is the finish line, it’s obviously the journey to that special moment that we all care about. Nope, you’ll want to make sure you hit the top to get the extra life and that wondrous golden flag. You’ll be happy to know that the flag pole at the end of every level has made a return too as more than just decoration. While the levels draw upon these themes of the past, they present them in an entirely new way, leveraging the 3D effect. The boss levels are either an airship level ala Super Mario Bros 3 where you fight a koopa boss or an old school battle with Bowser, where you drop him into the lava by dropping the bridge from under his scaley legs. From the 8-bit and 2D titles you have the level select screen, which sees the game split up into 8 worlds with 4 or 5 levels apiece.
Super Mario 3D Land draws upon all of Mario’s previous outings it’s a 3D game but lots of elements from the 2D games have been mashed into the design. I’m kinda glad for the delay, because we now finally have a reason to run out to the stores and pick up a 3DS. However it’s not all bad news, as the Mario game we’ve got today might not have been the same if it had launched in March.
As we know the 3DS didn’t have a Mario title at launch and look how things turned out? People turn to Mario to show them what a new system is all about and without that Mario game at launch the 3DS failed hard. The second thing is that they’re usually right there on launch day, beside Nintendo’s latest hardware and there’s only been a couple times now where this hasn’t been the case.
The first being they’re going to be great, since Nintendo doesn’t stuff around with Mario’s platforming outings. There’s usually always two things you can rely on Mario games for.
