'''''Super Mario 3D World''''' is a 3D platformer action game for the [[Wii U]], released in November 2013. It is a follow-up game of the [[Nintendo 3DS]] installment ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', the fifteenth title in the ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' series, the seventh 3D ''Mario'' title overall, and the fifth 3D ''Mario'' title on a home console after ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. The game builds upon the previous installment, following a similar 3D level-design convention inspired from the 2D platformer titles where players must navigate through a linear-designed level within a time limit to reach a level's [[flagpole]]. The game's plot centers around [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach]], and [[Toad]] having to rescue the rulers of the [[Sprixie Kingdom]], the [[Sprixie Princesses]] from [[Bowser]].

One key aspect introduced in this title is the simultaneous multiplayer, the first 3D title in the ''Mario'' series to incorporate up to four players cooperating with each other to reach the goal, although not the first game in the ''Super Mario'' series in general to do that. Additionally, players can select their character from a pool of playable characters prior to starting the game, and each of these characters have their own unique playstyle that gives them advantages and disadvantages over other characters. The game makes use of several Wii U exclusive features, such as tapping blocks with the touchscreen in the GamePad and blowing on the mic to reveal hidden items and blow away enemies. It served [[Miiverse]] integration, with the game's unlockable stamps that could be used in Miiverse posts and the [[Mii|Ghost Mii]] functionality that emulates players replaying levels for other players to view; however, the service was terminated on November 7, 2017, meaning that players can still collect stamps, but they no longer serve any purpose. Also, the Miiverse posts that appeared on the course select screen and when selecting courses disappeared. Various new power-ups are introduced in this title, with the trademark suit being the [[Cat Mario|Cat Suit]], which enables characters to perform a melee attack, climb up walls, and leap while midair, as well as the game generally having a cat-based theme.

The game introduces a smaller type of levels called [[The Adventures of Captain Toad]], which were later reused and expanded into its own standalone title and prequel, ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]''.

[[File:WiiU SM3DW 10.01.13 Scrn11.png|thumb|200px|left|[[Bowser]] captures the Green [[Sprixie Princesses|Sprixie Princess]] during the game's intro.]]

On an evening in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]], [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach]], and [[Toad]] come to view and enjoy the fireworks outside of [[Princess Peach's Castle]], when they discover a slanted [[Clear Pipe]] along the path. Mario and Luigi fix the Clear Pipe with hammers and wrenches, causing the pipe to eject a large number of items as well as a [[Sprixie Princesses|Sprixie Princess]], a fairy-like creature of the [[Sprixie]] species. The Green Sprixie Princess begins to explain that [[Bowser]] has kidnapped six of her fellow Sprixie Princesses and that she needs their help; thereafter, however, [[Bowser]] emerges from the pipe and traps the princess inside a bottle before disappearing back down the pipe with her. Peach, in trying to stop Bowser, falls down the pipe herself, and the others soon follow in order to assist her. The heroes soon end up in the [[Sprixie Kingdom]], where the journey mainly takes place.<ref>http://www.nintendo.co.uk/Games/Wii-U/SUPER-MARIO-3D-WORLD-765385.html</ref>

After going through six worlds, the group encounter Bowser in [[World Castle]], where he is keeping the Red Sprixie Princess; the only Sprixie Princess whom has not been saved yet. After the group successfully defeats Bowser, the Sprixie Princess is saved. However, the celebration is cut short by Bowser surprisingly returning, capturing all seven Sprixie Princesses in a large bottle, and escaping to [[World Bowser]]: a theme park modeled after the Koopa King.

The heroes make their way through this world, and encounter Bowser again in [[The Great Tower of Bowser Land]]. Here, Bowser makes use of a [[Super Bell]], turning into [[Meowser]], and initiating the final battle. The group manages to defeat Meowser after climbing the tower, and rescue all of the Sprixie Princesses. Now safe from Bowser, they thank the heroes as they go through a Clear Pipe back to the Mushroom Kingdom.

''Super Mario 3D World'' is a linear 3D [[Genre#Platformer|platform game]] with gameplay similar to the 2D games. The player must navigate through levels, defeating enemies and collecting power-ups on the way. The player clears a level by reaching the [[Goal Pole]] at the end before losing a life or running out of time. The player can store collected power-ups in the item storage, allowing them to be collected by pressing {{button|wiiu|minus}}. The player can also collect [[Green Stars]] and [[Stamp (Super Mario 3D World)|Stamp]]s, which allow the player to unlock certain levels or can be used in in Miiverse posts, respectively. Points are earned by collecting items and defeating enemies, and are used to determine the player's high score in a level. The player completes the main game when they clear [[World Bowser]] and completes the entire game when all bonus worlds are complete and all Green Stars and Stamps are collected.

 

[[File:SM3DW screenshot3.png|thumb|left|250px|Players' score results at the end of a stage. This is shown when there are at least two active players after a course has been cleared.]]

For the first time in a 3D ''Super Mario'' title the game supports up to four-player simultaneous multiplayer, allowing players to control Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Toad, and Rosalina; additional players can drop in at any time by pressing {{button|wiiu|A}}/{{button|wii|2}}, and can drop out by pausing and pressing {{button|wii|-}} on the pause menu, similar to ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' and ''New Super Mario Bros. U''; in this game, however, players can also switch characters before entering a stage. Each character has different abilities, much like they had in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. The multiplayer works similarly to ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' and ''New Super Mario Bros. U'', in that players can enter a bubble at any time, pick each other up and throw each other, bounce on each others' heads, and so on. Players also share lives when playing in multiplayer, rather than each player having a separate life counter. The game uses a cooperative and competitive multiplayer system; each player works together to get to the end of the stage, but is ranked based on points earned out of the total score at the end. The player that scores the most points for one stage receives a crown, which can be stolen by the other players and gives the player wearing it at the end of the stage a score bonus.

In addition to being the default player one controller, the {{button|wiiu|GamePad}} can be used at any point during gameplay (multiplayer or not) to interact with the environment, allowing players to stun enemies, momentarily reveal hidden objects (both in levels and on the map), hit blocks, stop moving platforms, and various other functions, similar to the [[Co-Star Luma]] from ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' and [[Boost Mode]] from ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''. The {{button|wiiu|GamePad}} can also be used to control the camera during gameplay by pressing the button on the bottom corner of the GamePad screen and tilting the controller, in what is known as Free Camera Mode. It works in a similar fashion to the camera from ''Super Mario 64'' and ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. The GamePad can also be used for Off-TV Play at any point.

''Super Mario 3D World'' plays very similarly to ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', being a 3D platformer with gameplay similar to the 2D games. This game retains its predecessor's similarity to ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' (with colorful blocks, the [[Super Leaf]], [[Spike]]s and the Lose a Life theme returning from that game); many elements from ''[[Super Mario World]]'' return as well, such as [[Chargin' Chuck]]s and [[Galoomba|Kuribon]]s, now with an official English name, Galoombas. Stages are once again open yet linear, have a time limit, and end by grabbing the classic [[Goal Pole]] at the end. [[Green Star]]s return from the ''Super Mario Galaxy'' games, taking the role of the [[Star Medal]]s from ''Super Mario 3D Land''. There are also various [[Stamp (Super Mario 3D World)|stamps]] that the player can find. There is one in each level and they can be used in [[Miiverse]] posts. The game also seems to be slightly more puzzle-focused than its predecessors. The path from the start of the level to the goal is no longer a straight shot, and the players would often have to use certain power-ups and items in order to find the way ahead. Additionally, the game also features a score system, the first time one has appeared in a 3D ''Mario'' game.

[[File:SpikesLostCity.png|thumb|250px|right|Mario and co., in their Cat suits, confronting [[Spike]]s.]]

Power-ups, like the [[Fire Flower]] and [[Super Leaf]], make a return, along with almost every item from ''Super Mario 3D Land'' (excluding the [[Statue Leaf]] and [[P-Wing]]). The Mega Mushroom from ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' also makes an appearance. There are also several new power-ups and suits; The most prominent of the new power-ups is the [[Super Bell]], a power-up that grants the player a [[Cat Mario|Cat Suit]], allowing them to lunge at and claw enemies and climb up walls.

[[File:Super Mario 3D World - Luigi Bros. Title Screen.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The title screen to ''[[Mario Bros. (game)#Luigi Bros.|Luigi Bros.]]'', a remastered port of ''Mario Bros.'']]

As part of the [[Year of Luigi]] celebration, also included is another game that can be accessed from the title screen after beating the main game once (or immediately if ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'' save data is present). The game, titled ''Luigi Bros.'', is a modified ROM of ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'', but with Luigi as the only playable character. The game can be accessed by touching the Luigi button found in the bottom-left corner of the screen. As it is a modification of the original NES game, it makes use of the Virtual Console interface and allows the use of save/restore points. Also, similar to ''New Super Luigi U'', multiple 8-bit Luigi sprites can be found throughout the game.

The game features a large world map, consisting of 8 worlds, in a similar vein to ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', with 4 unlockable bonus worlds. Each world is connected by [[Clear Pipe]]s.<ref name="NA Oct 23rd Trailer">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnInWnRCTKk</ref>  Unlike previous games, where players follow a simple path through the maps, the map here can be freely roamed with full control of the characters, except with a limited jump. Each world features a set of levels along with [[Enemy Blockade|Enemy Blockades]], [[Toad House]]s, [[Sprixie House]]s, [[Lucky House]]s, and either [[Mystery House]]s or a puzzle-focused series of levels called "[[The Adventures of Captain Toad]]" with [[Captain Toad]] playable. The maps also contain items such as coins and 1-Up Mushrooms and other secrets.

When the player finishes a course with all Green Stars, the ball ornament on the flagpole will be replaced with a Green Star, which can even become gold when the stage is cleared with all five characters, the stamp from that stage is collected (if any), and at least one character touches the top of the flag at the end of the stage. Upon reaching World Crown, the player can also see which stage has been cleared with which characters on the Map Progression screen or when approaching a stage. When all the stages in a world have been cleared with every character, a paw print mark will be shown on the upper-right corner of the Map Progression screen.
