'''''Super Mario 3D World''''' is a 3D [[Genre#Platform|platformer]] action game for the [[Wii U]], released in Japan on November 21, 2013, in North America on November 22, 2013, in Brazil on November 26, 2013, in Europe on November 29, 2013, and in Australia on November 30, 2013. It is the seventeenth entry in the ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' series,<ref name=encyclopedia>{{cite|author=Sakai, Kazuya (Ambit), kikai, Akinori Sao, Junko Fukuda, Kunio Takayama, and Ko Nakahara (Shogakukan), editors|title=『[[Super Mario Bros.

Being the sequel to the 2011 [[Nintendo 3DS]] title ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', 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 [[Goal Pole]]. The game's plot centers around [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach]], and [[Toad]] having to rescue the [[Sprixie Princesses]], the rulers of the [[Sprixie Kingdom]], from [[Bowser]].  

On an evening in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]], [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach]], and [[Toad]] come to view and enjoy the fireworks outside of [[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; however, Bowser himself 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.

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. The celebration is cut short, however, when Bowser ambushes them and grabs all seven Sprixie Princesses in a large bottle. With their combined power, he creates [[World Bowser]]: a theme park modeled after himself, and escapes to a [[The Great Tower of Bowser Land|tower]].

The heroes make their way through this world and encounter Bowser again in [[The Great Tower of Bowser Land]]. Here, Bowser uses a [[Super Bell]] to transform to [[Meowser]] and makes [[Double Mario|duplicates of himself]], 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, the princesses thank the heroes as they go through a Clear Pipe back to the Mushroom Kingdom.

''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, [[Unshelled Koopa Troopa|unshelled Koopa]]s, and [[Galoomba]]s (the Goombas of that game renamed). 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]]s 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 [[point|score system]], the first time one has appeared in a 3D ''Super Mario'' game.

[[File:SM3DW Luigi Bros Title Screen.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1|The title screen to ''[[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 with his modern colors as the first player and the original Luigi as the second player. 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 [[Nintendo Entertainment System|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'', [[8-bit character|Pixel Luigis]] can be found throughout the game.

The game features a large world map, consisting of 12 worlds, with a total of 116 courses (including [[Sprixie House]]s) across all worlds. Each world is connected by [[Clear Pipe]]s. Unlike previous games, where players follow a fixed 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 Battles]], [[Toad House]]s, [[Sprixie House]]s, [[Lucky House]]s, and either [[Mystery House]]s or a puzzle-focused series of levels called [[Captain Toad's Adventures]] with [[Captain Toad]] playable. The maps also contain items such as coins and 1-Up Mushrooms and other secrets.
