Template:Infobox Super Mario (working title), is an upcoming game of the Super Mario franchise for the Nintendo 3DS. It seems to be closely based on side-scrolling Mario games, but is a 3D platformer in the vein of games like Super Mario 64, marking the first time an original 3D Mario platformer has appeared on a handheld console, disregarding Super Mario 64 DS as a remake rather than a new game. The game is being created by the same development team that worked on the Super Mario Galaxy games, currently being part of Nintendo EAD Tokyo. As it will be a new 3D installment in the main Mario series, Super Mario follows Super Mario Galaxy 2 in this respect.
Gameplay
The gameplay of Super Mario for 3DS will be similar to previous 3D Mario games, which include Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, Super Mario Galaxy, and Super Mario Galaxy 2. However, the game will include features that have, until now, only been seen in the side-scrolling Super Mario games, such as Small Mario, a feature present in the side-scrolling games since the first Super Mario Bros..
While giving examples of how the Nintendo 3DS enhances gameplay, Shigeru Miyamoto has stated that hitting blocks from underneath in 3D Mario games would be easier with stereoscopic 3D.[1] Among the notable new objects are medals that appear similar to the Comet Medals coming from Super Mario Galaxy 2, but it is unknown if they will function in the same manner. The graphics of the game greatly resemble those of the Super Mario Galaxy games, as it is being developed by the same team that made those games, while some of the areas shown so far share visual similarities with New Super Mario Bros. and New Super Mario Bros. Wii.

Development
Super Mario was first mentioned in an "Iwata Asks" interview with Shigeru Miyamoto, where he confirmed that a brand-new Super Mario Bros. for the Nintendo 3DS was already in development at the time, but currently had not been given a proper title.[3] In November 2010, Shigeru Miyamoto announced that both 2D (side-scrolling) and 3D Mario games are in the works for the 3DS.[4] Screenshots were first available on March 2, and the game was officially announced during the Game Developers Conference, under the name Super Mario. Available screenshots of Super Mario revealed that the game is a 3D platformer and the game is stated to be developed by Nintendo EAD Tokyo, the same team which had previously developed Super Mario Galaxy and its sequel. Satoru Iwata stated that a more official announcement will be shown at E3 2011. According to Iwata, "it will be a game that will come with the kind of surprises and fun that only the 3DS can offer."[5]
Trivia
- The first logo for the game appears to have a tail coming off of the "O", one that resembles Raccoon Mario's tail from the title screen logo of Super Mario Bros. 3. Satoru Iwata pointed this out during the announcement of the game, indicating that it may reference an as-of-yet unknown detail about the game.
