==PETA Launches Campaign Against Mario==
Hmmm guys, I think we should add this: [http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2011/11/peta_launches_campaign_against_mario]  info to the article. =O {{User:Birdo beauties/sig}}
:I think the info would be better on [[Tanooki Mario]] instead of here, and would have to be properly referenced and all that. Feel free to add it yourself. {{User:Bop1996/sig}}
::I agree.--[[User:Thejfh1999|Thejfh1999]] 18:25, 21 November 2011 (EST)

== World 8 ==

Can someone help me make the Bowser's Castle sprite in the World 8 section of this article redirect to the Bowser's Castle article?--[[User:Thejfh1999|Thejfh1999]] 18:17, 22 November 2011 (EST)

:<nowiki>[[File:name|link=Bowser Castle|px]]</nowiki> I think. {{User:Coincollector/sig}}
::I think the only way to do that is to make the castle image into a template that redirects to the desired article, something like what's on articles relating to ''Paper Mario'', but the specifics of that are beyond my knowledge. {{User:Mario4Ever/sig}}
:::Uh, thanks.--[[User:Thejfh1999|Thejfh1999]] 16:21, 23 November 2011 (EST)

==Cosmic Mario confusion==
Why does it keep saying Cosmic Mario is raced? That never happens in the game! Cosmic Clones chase Mario, but there is never a cosmic mario race! I fixed it in one level, but now pretty much all the levels with cosmic clones say that the player races Cosmic Mario. I would edit them, but there must be a reason somone wrothe that, people normally dont mix up a race with a chase. Can I hear somone else's opinion? [[User:Ratfink43|Ratfink43]] 19:14, 22 November 2011 (EST)

it is not a race but he does chase you. It is Cosmic Mario. {{User:YoshiGo99/sig}}
::I disagree. cosmic mario is blue with stars in him, while cosmic clones are red/purple.--[[User:Thejfh1999|Thejfh1999]] 10:28, 25 November 2011 (EST)
::He does't actually chase you,Yoshigo99. He copies your every move. And to Ratfink43, I think it's a nintendo mix up.:P -Anonymous {{unsigned|Asaokaj}}

The article says it's called a Cosmic Clone. I'm sure Cosmic Mario has only appeared in Super Mario Galaxy 1 so far. --Mario X-Fan 45

== Side jump? ==

In what sense "{{button|3ds|Stick}}(Hold right or left)+{{button|3ds|A}} to do the Side Jump"? Isn't that a normal jump to the left or to the right? --&nbsp;<span style="background:#008D46;">&nbsp;&nbsp;</span><span style="background:#ffffff;">&nbsp;&nbsp;</span><span style="background:#D2232C;">&nbsp;&nbsp;</span> [[User:Sfavillotto|Sfavillotto]] ([[User talk:Sfavillotto|talk]]) 09:36, 23 November 2011 (EST)

== Music should be changed==
As i mentioned previously (It's on Archive 1), the new version of the main theme should have been in the main article, while the music files that were in the main article until now should have been put into the Beta Elements article. --andrezlatin

== About The soundtrack that was mentioned in Archive 1 ==
The soundtrack that was mentioned in Archive 1 had improved and now has alot more tracks. it is still on the same link. --andrezlatin

== Special World 8-Crown==
Why in the world list there isn't the special world 8 secret level???
Is unlocked after getting 5 stars in the save file.My best friend showed it to me.--DarkFawful7
:It's there.--[[User:Thejfh1999|Thejfh1999]] 10:26, 25 November 2011 (EST)

== Magmaarghs? ==

I think those are Blarggs. They're mall and just travel through the lava. I think the only thing they changed is their horns and eyes. {{User:Goomblob/Sig}} 12:30, 25 November 2011 (EST)

No, they are Magmarrghs. If there are Sandmaarghs then there should be Magmaarghs. Besides they are just smaller so the can fight on the screen.{{User:YoshiGo99/sig}}

It's weird that their size shrunk too. What did Bowser do? [[User:Asaokaj#Asaokaj]]

== New enemies ==
I'm curious if we know of all the new enemies in this game.Along with any returning ones also.I know the game is new, but Id assume someone beat it already so I am just curious to know if we discovered all species in the game.--[[User:Swooper888|Swooper888]] 03:34, 26 November 2011 (EST)

I've almost beaten it... but who named those Block Snakes 'Blokablokks'? Not nintendo!-Anonimous{{unsigned|Asaokaj}}

How would you know? The primia guide might have a full list of enemies.{{User:YoshiGo99/sig}}

Sorry,Yoshigo99.(How do i sign off?){{unsigned|Asaokaj}}

== References ==

Can't we delete the enemies references? Because they're clearly revealed. {{User:Goomblob/Sig}} 13:36, 26 November 2011 (EST)
:According to [[MarioWiki:Citation Policy|The Policy]], you can delete all references outside of the trivia section. {{User:SWFlash/Sig}}

== Just to know ...==

Luigi can't use the [[Invincibility Leaf]] ? Even in the normal levels ?

I don't have the game yet, so can someone verify ? [[User:Fire-Luigi|Fire-Luigi]] 18:54, 26 November 2011 (EST)
:Well.....Luigi is unlocked in the Special World 1 but the Invincibility Leaf doesn't appear in the special worlds or levels you have beaten. I don't think so.--[[User:Thejfh1999|Thejfh1999]] 12:04, 27 November 2011 (EST)

Yeah, after you beat the game all the assist blocks never appear, making the Invincibility Leaf unobtainable. But you can get the P-Wing in some Mystery Boxes. Mario3D64
::Very true.--[[User:Thejfh1999|Thejfh1999]] 12:39, 27 November 2011 (EST)


Actually, Luigi can use the invincibility leaf. You have to use the warp zone in world 1-2, but not go back. Then, when you rescue Luigi, go back to world 1-2 and die a few times. the invincibility and/or p-wing blocks should appear. [[User:UltLuigi]] 20:20, 10 December 2011 (EST)

== The Music ==
I had replaced the old version with the new version of the main theme in the main article. The earlier version was put into the Beta Elements article instead.{{unsigned|Andrezlatin}}

== Golden tail goombas? ==
 
Um..I own the game-Beat All the worlds (including the Special worlds)-and got EVERY Singal Star medal and never ever saw ONE! I think they were beta versions of the standerd tail goombas. And why does Dry bowser have a pony-tail again?{{unsigned|Lcc98}}

Dry Bowser has a ponytail because that's his character design. That's like asking "why does Rosalina have a crown again?" But anyways, it is possible that the Golden Tail Goombas were beta elements. First, we'll have to have someone else who's completed the game to confirm this information, as I don't have this game yet. [[User:MarioComix|MarioComix]] 19:46, 28 November 2011 (EST)

Actually I beat the game, every single star medal, gold flag, and level and I have NEVER seen any golden tail goombas, at all. I wish I could show you but I cant. 
[[User:PurplBananah1|PurplBananah]]18:36, 30 November 2011 (EST)

:Golden Tail Goombas ar now moved to the beta elaments page. Why would thy put those in the trailer anyway?[[User:Mario 102300]]

== Cheats and tricks ==

Where can I insert [http://www.gamerankings.com/3ds/620831-super-mario-3d-land/cheats.html these cheats]?

== 5 Stars ==

How do u get 5 stars on ur profile? I have every single Star Medal and got the golden flag for every pole. I think that we should mention ways to get 5 stars on ur profile in the article.--[[User:16-Volt|&#91;User:16-Volt]] 21:39, 28 November 2011 (EST)
:Um no. We aren't a game guide. {{User:Nintendo64Fan/sig}}
However we do add info on how to get certain things.--[[User:16-Volt|&#91;User:16-Volt]] 22:26, 28 November 2011 (EST)

To get 5 stars you need to:
- Beat the game
- Beat all the levels again as both Mario AND Luigi. 
- Get all the Star Coins. The star coins found in the overworld mystery boxes are optional though and don't count.
- Get a gold flag on every level.

[[User:MarioMaster720]]

Thanks--[[User:16-Volt|&#91;User:16-Volt]] 22:29, 29 November 2011 (EST)
::Actually you need to  do this:

Star 1: Beat Bowser on World 8's second castle.
Star 2: Beat all levels in the first eight worlds.
Star 3: Beat Bowser on World 8's second castle having beaten him on Special World 8's castle first.
Star 4: Get all Star Medals.
Star 5: Beat all levels using Mario and Luigi, with a Golden Flagpole on every occasion.
Glittering Stars: At no point die 5 or more times in a row on a single level.

I got most of this from supercheats.com--[[User:Thejfh1999|Thejfh1999]] 17:03, 6 December 2011 (EST)

== Cosmic CLONE ==

Whyh is it written that "small mario version of Cosmic Mario is in the game"? It's CLEARLY a [[Cosmic Clone]]. It hasn't got anything in common with Cosmic Mario at all, except the laugh (which cosmic clones also have).
It acts exactly like a Cosmic clone.
If someone can name a good reason why that's Cosmic Mario and not a cosmic Clone then I'm going to kill myself. Or not because...THAT IS NOT COSMIC MARIO IT'S A COSMIC CLONE!!!!!!!!!!!

(If nintendo officially said that it was cosmic mario then ignore everything I wrote) [[User:MarioMaster720]]
:I believe it's due to the appearance of the entity, which is by itself in various assorted levels, not in large groups like Cosmic Clones. It might also behave more like Cosmic Mario than a Clone, but I don't know much about it at all. {{User:Bop1996/sig}}
::It's a Cosmic Clone. Period.--[[User:Thejfh1999|Thejfh1999]] 21:39, 2 December 2011 (EST)

It ''is'' '''Cosmic Mario'''.--[[User:Prince Ludwig|Prince Ludwig]] 01:36, 3 December 2011 (EST)
:::It is not Cosmic Mario!!!--[[User:Thejfh1999|Thejfh1999]] 17:04, 3 December 2011 (EST)
U mad? It ''is'' Cosmic Mario.--[[User:Prince Ludwig|Prince Ludwig]] 18:47, 3 December 2011 (EST)

Okay, this conversation is going NOWHERE. The talk pages are supposed to be used for giving advice, asking questions, etc. that will IMPROVE the article. They're not for back-and-forth arguments that accomplish nothing. For now, leave it as is until it's been confirmed. [[User:MarioComix|MarioComix]] 00:31, 4 December 2011 (EST)
::::Whatever.--[[User:Thejfh1999|Thejfh1999]] 16:50, 5 December 2011 (EST)


Ok, have you NOT noticed? it is clearly [[Shadow Mario]] because cosmic mario/clones are starry inside. [User:UltLuigi]
:::::Shadow Mario? I don't think so.--[[User:Thejfh1999|Thejfh1999]] 16:48, 12 December 2011 (EST)

:Everyone's getting so pissy over this it's almost hilarious.

# Cosmic ''Clones'' do not contain starry insides, not from what I've seen of them.
# Shadow Mario was somewhat transcluent, if memory serves.
# Plus, Shadow Mario was Bowser Jr. holding the Magic Paintbrush.
# Bowser Jr. isn't in this game, and he's long since lost said paintbrush.
# Piantissimo is the only one who's even been hinted at as having said paintbrush, and he's as good as a one-shot character.

:Thus, it is much more likely to be a Cosmic Clone, as nothing supports the Shadow Mario notion aside from pure speciulation; while it could be something else entirely, I am highly doubtful of that possibility. The parts of the article stating that it is a Cosmic Clone should remain as is until confirmation is possible. [[User:Lord Grammaticus|Lord Grammaticus]] 14:45, 19 December 2011 (EST)
::::::THANK YOU SO MUCH! :)--[[User:Thejfh1999|Thejfh1999]] 18:16, 19 December 2011 (EST)

Yep, it's a Cosmic Clone. It's very obvious, because Cosmic Clones are red and black with yellow eyes(if it's a clone of Mario, that is). Shadow Mario and Cosmic Mario are completely different; Cosmic Mario was completely starry on the inside, and Shadow Mario is a bluish, translucent version of Mario. as Thejfh1999 explained, Shadow Mario is actually Bowser Jr. holding the Magic Paintbrush, and '''Bowser Jr. is not in this game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He is replaced by Boom Boom and Pom Pom, and he's lost the Magic Paintbrush ever since the end of Super Mario Sunshine!!!!!!!!!! ''SO STOP THIS NONSENSE AND GET OVER IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!''''' --Mario X-Fan 45

: It ''is'' conformined as Cosmic Clone. NOTHING TO CHANGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!- Mario102300

== UFO ==

Oh my god! I don't know if anybody knows about it, but there is a weird "Easter Egg" on W1-3. Go to that level, watch through the binoculars at the start, spot to the sky, can you see an odd white flying saucer-shaped thing that vanishes once you make a close-up? I'm currently amazed by this. I need to be sure everybody can see it, so we can add this stuff into the article.

'''--[[User:Byllant|Byllant]] 01:40, 4 December 2011 (EST)'''
:It's true! I wonder if there is in other levels... --&nbsp;<span style="background:#008D46;">&nbsp;&nbsp;</span><span style="background:#ffffff;">&nbsp;&nbsp;</span><span style="background:#D2232C;">&nbsp;&nbsp;</span> [[User:Sfavillotto|Sfavillotto]] ([[User talk:Sfavillotto|talk]]) 09:46, 4 December 2011 (EST)


Can someone tell me where it is? because i didn't as Mario or Luigi...? WAIT! i saw it in World 2-1!-[[User:TANOOKI LUIGI 747]]
:I've been recreating this level to watch the UFO and I discovered it appears with both Mario and Luigi, I don't know if it is conditional or not, but it may appear if you toy around with the binoculars by paning out the screen and zooming in and out, I don't know if spotting the Toad on the cliff triggers it, but it always happened after I spotted him. It takes a while for it to appear, but it is no hard to see it, you'll inmediately recognize it. '''--[[User:Byllant|Byllant]] 00:01, 5 December 2011 (EST)'''

Maybe it could be a hint of something that happens in some kind of unconfirmed new game. BTW, TANOOKI LUIGI 747, I didn't see it in 2-1. [[User:KoopaKiller13|KoopaKiller13]] 11:45, 30 December 2011 (EST)

== Special Worlds ==

Should articles be made for the Special worlds. I think they're enough already to become stubs, but then we can add pictures and overviews and maybe even trivia. Is anyone in agreement?

: [[User:JORDAN DEBONO|JORDAN DEBONO]] 11:26, 27 December 2011 (EST)

I think we should make them. Mario Galaxy has articles about its galaxies, so why can't Mario 3d Land not have it's worlds? [[User:SuperPaperFan|SuperPaperFan]]

== Reference ==

According to ONM (Official Nintendo Magazine of Australia and NZ), SM3DL's overhead designs (or something) are a reference to the Ledgend of Zelda's 25th aniversary.
Or something like that..
Can this be referenced, researched, or something?
[[Image:Question_Block.gif|20px|Trivia Block!]] [[User:Trivia boy|boy]] 01:19, 1 January 2012 (EST)
:I believe you're referring to [[World 5 (Super Mario 3D Land)#World 5-2|this]], in which case we've got it covered. If not, please let me know. {{User:Mario4Ever/sig}}

:The officail site shows that world 5-2 is the only reference to the 25th Legend of Zelda Anniversary{{unsigned|Mario102300}}

== Rectangular blocks ==

A coin block is defined as a block that gives multiple coins, '''normally''' coins blocks give one coin per hit and can be hit multiple times. However SM3DL's Rectangular blocks give multiple coins but can only be hit once, does this mean that they are coin blocks?  

-'''IGGY7735'''
{{Unsigned|IGGY7735}}

== Redirect ==

Should Mario 3D Land be directed here? [[User:SuperPaperFan|SuperPaperFan]]

I think so. If it is a shorter name that fans often call it buy, or initialization of the name of the game, it's qualified as a redirect. [[User:'Shroom64|'Shroom64: The Mushroomeditor]]

==Elements from 2D games==
Shouldn't we put down that ''Super Mario 3D Land'' mainly has elements from 2D games? Besides, this isn't a forum comment. - [[User:Billtn|Bill-tendo]] 10:21, 22 April 2012 (EDT)
