'''''Super Mario 3D World''''' is a 3D platformer action game for the [[Wii U]]. 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 sixth original 3D ''Mario'' title, the seventh 3D ''Mario'' title overall, and the fifth 3D ''Mario'' title on a home console after ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. The game also received a prequel/spin off based on [[The Adventures of Captain Toad]] levels in this game titled ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'', which was first released on November 13, 2014 in Japan almost a year later.
 
==Story==
[[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.
 
==Gameplay==
[[File:WiiU SuperMario scrn01 E3.png|thumb|230px|[[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Toad]] and [[Princess Peach]] all running in [[Really Rolling Hills]].]]
''Super Mario 3D World'' is a linear 3D [[Genre#Platformer|platform game]] with gameplay similar to the 2D games. The player must reach the [[Goal Pole]] at the end before losing a life or running out of time.
 
===Multiplayer===
[[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 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.
 
===Nintendo Network===
''Super Mario 3D World'' features Nintendo Network support in the form of Miiverse integration and [[Mii|Ghost Mii]]s. These features are first enabled on a given save file after progressing a bit into the game. With Miiverse, players can make a post at any point on the World Map or after completing a stage by tapping the "Post" icon; other players' posts can also be viewed on the World Map by walking up to their Miis and pressing {{button|wiiu|A}}/{{button|wii|2}}, or on the top of the stage results screen. Ghost Miis are created after the player clears a course without losing a life, and they perfectly recreate the player's movements throughout the course, automatically distributing them to other players. Players who receive the data can play through an already cleared course with three Ghost Mii characters. While traveling through a course, the Ghost Mii characters occasionally carry gifts behind them that when caught can contain various items. The Nintendo Network settings for this title can be changed at any point by pausing the game and selecting the Nintendo Network icon button.
 
===Returning elements===
''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.
 
===''Luigi Bros.''===

[[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.

==Worlds==
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.

==Luigi sightings==
[[File:SM3DW Bowser-6 Luigi.jpg|thumb|250px|A 8-bit Luigi appears on the moon the last 30 seconds of the timer at the end of [[A Beam in the Dark]]]]
{{main|List of Luigi sightings in Super Mario 3D World}}
Like with ''New Super Luigi U'', ''Super Mario 3D World'' features 8-bit Luigi sprites hidden in various parts of the game, not just restricted to levels.
==Development==
Early in development and according to [[Koichi Hayashida]], Peach was planned to reprise her role as damsel-in-distress which also meant that she wasn't meant to be a playable character originally; however, after [[Yoshiaki Koizumi]] suggested to the development team that she should be a playable character like how Peach did in ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', ''Super Mario 3D World'' ended up being the first and so far only 3D ''Mario'' platformer in which Princess Peach is playable and not kidnapped, as well as the second and latest  ''Super Mario'' game after ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' and the fourth and latest platformer overall after her [[Super Princess Peach|own game]] and ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''.<ref> http://mynintendonews.com/2013/06/12/peach-wasnt-originally-planned-as-a-playable-character-in-super-mario-3d-world/ </ref>
==Reception==
''Super Mario 3D World'' received widespread critical acclaim. IGN gave the game a 9.6, criticizing its four-player camera, but praising its "phenomenal level design, art direction, and multiplayer". <ref>http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/11/19/super-mario-3d-world-review</ref> Destructoid gave the game a perfect 10/10 score, praising specially the Cat Suit mechanism and the addition of Princess Peach as a playable character.<ref>http://www.destructoid.com/review-super-mario-3d-world-265323.phtml </ref> GameXplain gave the game's single and multiplayer modes a 4.5/5 stars. Joystiq also gave the game a perfect score of 5/5 stars.<ref>http://www.joystiq.com/game/super-mario-3d-world</ref>  The Official Nintendo Magazine gave it a 93 out of 100, praising its gameplay and multiplayer, while criticising the small level size.<ref>http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/wii-u/platform/11423/super-mario-3d-world</ref>
The game has been praised for its gameplay, visuals, music, level design, the Cat form's usefulness, and its improved 4-player co-op compared to ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. However, its few negatives vary from its camera issues with co-op to some control issues.
As of March 31, 2014, ''Super Mario 3D World'' is the 4th best selling game for the [[Wii U]], having sold about 2.17 million copies worldwide.

==Pre-release and unused content==
{{main|List of Super Mario 3D World pre-release and unused content}}
Early concept artwork reveals that Cat characters were going to have five fingers, and that Princess Peach's Cat Suit was going to incorporate her brooch. The levels shown off in the E3 demo also have different world and number placements than the final game. Additionally, several sound clips were changed to brand new ones when they were reused ones from previous games in the demo, and several pieces of music were changed to being orchestrated in the final product.

==References to other games==
*''[[Mario Bros.]]'': There is a bonus game starring [[Luigi]] available on the title screen, called ''Luigi Bros.'' It is played similarly to this game, except both playable characters are Luigi.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ds0X4QkfeC4</ref> Also, the big [[POW Block]] on the very top of [[The Great Tower of Bowser Land]] must be hit multiple times, getting flatter every time it's hit, just like it does in ''Mario Bros.''
*''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'': Some levels have tiles that resemble the ground tiles from this game. The main theme from ''Super Mario Bros.'' is covered for bonus areas and [[Coin Heaven]]s (whose theme comes from ''Super Mario 3D Land''). An 8-bit Luigi sprite from this game can be seen swimming in the background in Bowser's Highway Showdown.<ref name="Bowser Hwy">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3arXxOvp7U</ref> Additionally, [[Beep Block Skyway]] has 8-bit Luigi, Coin and Super Mushroom sprites moving along the walls of the stage. Likewise, all of the Luigi sightings are based on his sprite from this game. In addition, the bonus area in [[Bob-ombs Below]] resembles Mario's 8-bit sprite from the game.
*''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda (game)|The Legend of Zelda]]'': Link's 8-bit sprite from the game can be found in the secret area of [[Rainbow Run (level)|Rainbow Run]].
*''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'': Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Toad are playable characters. The Mario Bros and the Princess's abilities are based off of theirs from this game, as well as Toad's speed advantage. In addition, Toad having blue spots is possibly a reference to Toad in the original NES version of this game, in which his sprite appears blue. Doors have the same design and color. A cover of the character select music from this game plays in the casino slot minigame <ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5UKysyDZEI]</ref>, as well as in the Coin Bonus areas of the game.<ref name="2-1: Conkdor Canyon">[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsbP8v7LPnA]</ref> [[Bomb]]s also appear and are used in the same way they were used in ''Super Mario Bros. 2.'' [[Rocket]] Ships make an appearance. The two game's stories are also similar, with Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and Toad going to another land and saving it from an evil villain in both games.
**''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'': The player is required to beat all levels with all of the characters (Mario, Luigi, Peach, Toad, and [[Rosalina]], the last one being a secret character) in order to unlock all the stamps and all five profile stars, mirroring how it was required that all characters in the game were required to beat all the levels to unlock the true ending.
*''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'': Like its predecessor, ''Super Mario 3D World'' shares some similarities to this game. The "Too Bad!" music is a cover of the death jingle from this game.<ref name="1-5 Demo">[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3RFROLMuZ4]</ref> [[Tank]] levels return from this game. In American and some European versions of the game, when first visiting a Toad House, the Toad will instruct the player to "Pick a box. Its contents will help you on your way." which is a direct quoting from this game's Toad Houses.
*''[[Super Mario World]]'': Chargin' Chucks and Galoombas return, and in the case of the former enemy, use the same sound effects for running and being defeated as in this game. Trampolines also use the same sound effect as in this game. The Beach Koopa artwork is also reused as a Stamp. [[World Bowser]] has neon lights like Bowser's Castle did in the [[Valley of Bowser]]. Additionally, hitting the [[Bowser Mobile]] at the beginning of [[The Great Tower of Bowser Land]] occasionally causes ''Super Mario World'' sound effects to play.
*''[[Super Mario Kart]]'': The level [[Mount Must Dash]] contains Dash Panels, asphalt, and blocks that reference [[Mario Circuit]] courses from this game. Also, the music is a cover of Mario Circuit. <ref name="Mount Must Dash Gameplay">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0cfS8NlmU4</ref>
*''[[Mario Paint]]'': The Cat Goombas make a similar meow to the cat notes from this game.<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qZqSSFrwiM</ref>
*''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]'': [[Bowser]] uses a [[Super Bell]] and [[Double Cherry|Double Cherries]] in the same way [[Wario]] used a [[Carrot]] and a [[Fire Flower]] in his battle with Mario.
*''[[Super Mario 64]]'' / ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'': In levels when players are riding [[Plessie]], the music that plays is a cover of that of [[Rainbow Ride]], [[Tick Tock Clock]], and [[The Princess's Secret Slide]] from this game.<ref name="1-5 Demo"></ref> In Shifty Boo Mansion, the first Green Star is found by jumping into a painting, similar to how Mario enters areas in this game and its remake. When the player catches a rabbit, the rabbit will give an item to the player, similar to how the rabbit gives Mario an item right after getting grabbed.
*''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'': There are two Mystery Houses named Mystery House Melee in World 2 and the one in the later World Mushroom named Mystery House Brawl. Their objectives are to defeat all enemies to advance and go forth. This is a reference to both ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' and ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''.
*''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'': Characters can do a spin jump similar to the one in this game.
*''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'': The player can jump on [[Koopa Troopa]]s to steal their shells and ride in them, similar to the [[Blue Shell]] power-up. The sound that plays when the character jumps while riding in the shell is similar to New Super Mario Bros. jump sound effect as well.
*''[[Super Princess Peach]]'': The [[Super Bell Hill]] theme has similarities to this game's [[Ladida Plains]] music.
*''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' / ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'': [[Green Star]]s make an appearance, replacing [[Star Medal]]s from ''Super Mario 3D Land''. The [[Captain Toad]] returns and the levels where Captain Toad is playable contains the Toad Brigade theme from the ''Super Mario Galaxy'' games. There are secret underground rooms where the player can collect sequences of [[Coin]]s for a limited time and receive a prize if all Coins are collected. Rosalina's special ability is the [[Star Spin]] attack. Rosalina's emblem is a [[Grand Star]]. [[Super Galaxy]], a stage based off of the ''Super Mario Galaxy'' games appears, and so do [[Octoombas]], [[Fizzlit]]s and the [[Comet Observatory]]. The Comet Observatory theme (3rd version) plays in the World Crown map area, while a cover of the [[Gusty Garden Galaxy]] theme can be heard in [[Honeycomb Starway]], [[Honeycomb Skyway]] and [[Champion's Road]]<ref name="Iwata asks">[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpOlaiHWMMg]</ref> A remix of the [[Purple Coin]]s theme plays in World Mushroom and World Flower.<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9exk_hpNid8</ref>. The final boss themes (and the Meowser defeated fanfare) have portions of the Battlerock Galaxy, Bowser's Galaxy Reactor, and Bowser's Galaxy Generator themes. The overworld map of the Star World has [[Star Bit]]s in the background. Also, Grumblumps have a similar appearance to [[Rhomp]]s. The Beat Block mechanic returns under the name "Beep Block", and the Beep Block stages return to the "beep-beep-beep-switch" rhythm as in Super Mario Galaxy 2 with the same tempo as the Beat Block Galaxy theme as well. The level [[Cookie Cogworks]] resembles [[Clockwork Ruins Galaxy]]. There is additionally a level called [[Boss Blitz]]; this is in reference to the [[Boss Blitz Galaxy]].
*''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' / ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'': The abilities to do a simultaneous Ground Pound with multiple players, pick up other players, and place their character in a [[bubble]] make a return. The rolling hill platforms from [[World 1 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 1]] return. Assist Play is similar to Boost Mode from the latter game in that the player can stop/hinder enemies with the Gamepad, as well as pause stage obstacles like the rolling hills. In [[Snowball Park]], the night-time setting with the background aurora mirrors [[Spinning-Star Sky]].
*''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'': The installment is the follow-up game of this title, and thus has some similarities to said game. The game's cover of the ''Super Mario Bros.'' theme is reused, and a cover of the jazz variation of the main theme plays in [[Super Block Land]]. The snow theme and castle theme return in this game, but they are now orchestrated. [[Warp Box]]es, [[Mystery Box]]es, [[Peepa]]s, [[Coin Coffer]]s, [[Goomba Tower]]s, [[Stingby|Stingbies]], [[Biddybud]]s, and [[Para-Biddybud]]s all return.
*''[[Mario Kart 7]]'': [[Princess Peach]]'s portrait from this game, located in [[Sherbet Rink]], is reused.
*''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'': There are multiple levels/rooms that contain hordes of Coins, like the secret Coin Express stage, Conkdor Canyon Coin vault, and other various locations. Also, three bonus worlds are called World Star, Mushroom, and Flower, just like the bonus worlds in this game. Golden Koopa Troopas and wearable coin blocks return in Golden Warp Pipes.
==References in later games==
*''[[Mario Kart 8]]'': The [[Piranha Plant (potted)|Piranha Plant]] returns as an item. Stamp images are reused in [[Rainbow Road (N64)|<small>N64</small> Rainbow Road]]'s fireworks. [[Stamp (Mario Kart 8)|Stamps]] can also be collected in this game. The [[Double Cherry]] appears as an ad in [[Toad Harbor]]. There is a DLC cup named the [[Bell Cup]], which has a course called [[Super Bell Subway]].
**''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'': The crown mechanic in Battle Mode is similar to the mechanic in multi-player of ''Super Mario 3D World'', where the player with the highest score from one stage will be wearing a crown in the next stage.
*''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'': The game is a spin-off title based around the [[The Adventures of Captain Toad]] levels which originated from this game.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m91qkP5ZaN8</ref> Several elements from this game also return, including music. Super Bell Hill, Shadow-Play Alley, Clear Pipe Cruise, and Conkdor Canyon return as stages in this game. The ending cutscene also reveals that ''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker'' is a prequel to this game.
*''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'': Several pieces of music from this game appear, and the Toad [[List of trophies in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|trophy]] refers to Captain Toad's inability to jump.

==Trivia==
*If one counts the wearable items (such as boxes and shoes), ''Super Mario 3D World'' has the most power-ups in any ''Mario'' platformer thus far, with seventeen power-ups (compared to ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', which has nine).
*The character icons from this game (with the exception of Rosalina and Captain Toad's icons) are used in Club Nintendo prizes.
*If one looks closely, the plants dance to the background music, changing animations based on part of the song.
