- Not to be confused with Super Mario World and Super Mario 3D Land.
Super Mario 3D World is a 3D platformer action game for the Wii U. It was released on November 21, 2013 in Japan, and November 22, 2013 in North America. It will be released in November 29, 2013 in Europe, and November 30, 2013 in Australia. It is the fifteenth title in the Super Mario series, the sixth 3D Mario title, and the sequel to the Nintendo 3DS game Super Mario 3D Land.
Story
On a starry night in the Mushroom Kingdom, Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and Toad take a walk 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 Princess[1], a fairy-like creature of the Sprixie race. The princess begins to explain that Bowser has kidnapped six of her fellow Sprixie princesses and that she needs their help, but Bowser thereafter emerges from the pipe and traps the princess inside a bottle before disappearing back down the pipe with her. Peach tries to save the princess but winds up falling down the pipe herself, and the others soon follow in order to assist Peach.[2] The heroes soon end up in the Sprixie Kingdom, where the journey mainly takes place.[3]
Gameplay
The game plays very similarly to Super Mario 3D Land, being closely based on the 2D side-scrolling games, while being a 3D platformer, like Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and the Super Mario Galaxy games. This game retains its predecessor's similarity to Super Mario Bros. 3 (with colorful blocks, the Super Leaf, Spikes and the Lose a Life theme returning from that game); many elements from Super Mario World are returning as well, such as Chargin' Chucks and Kuribons, now with an official English name, Galoombas. Lives also make a return, but in multiplayer mode, players share their lives. Stages are once again open yet linear, have a time limit, and end by grabbing the classic Goal Pole at the end. Green Stars return from the Super Mario Galaxy games, taking the role of the Star Medals from Super Mario 3D Land. There are also various 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.
Power-ups, like the Fire Flower and Super Leaf, make a return, along with almost every item as of now from Super Mario 3D Land (excluding the Statue Leaf and P-Wing). The Mega Mushroom from New Super Mario Bros. also make an appearance. There are also some new power-ups and suits; one in particular is a bell that grants the player a Cat Suit, allowing the player to lunge at enemies and climb up walls. The 
can also be used to unveil hidden blocks and objects, as well as stun enemies and platforms, like the Co-Star Luma from Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Boost Mode from New Super Mario Bros. U. The game also supports Off TV Play. Also, the can be used to control the camera during gameplay. It works in a similar fashion to the camera from Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine.
The game features 4-player multiplayer (a first for 3D Mario games), allowing players to play as Mario, Luigi, Toad (Blue colored), and Princess Peach (who replaces Yellow Toad from New Super Mario Bros. U); additional players can drop in and out at any time, similar to New Super Mario Bros. Wii and New Super Mario Bros. U; however, in this game, players can also switch characters at any time.[4] Each character has different abilities, much like they had in Super Mario Bros. 2. 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 score at the end. The player that gets the highest score 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.[5]
Another feature is a Luigi-themed game that can be played from the title screen after beating the main game once (or immediately if New Super Luigi U save data is present).[6] The game, titled Luigi Bros. has gameplay similar to that of Mario Bros., but Luigi is the only playable character. The game can be accessed by touching the Luigi button found in the bottom-left corner of the screen.
Worlds
The game features a large world map, consisting of 8 worlds, in a similar vein to Super Mario Bros. 3, with four unlockable bonus worlds. Each world is connected by Clear Pipes.[7] Unlike previous maps, the players will have full control of the characters, except with a limited jump. Each map will have a set of levels along with Enemy Blockades, a Toad House, a slot machine used to win coins, and either a Mystery House[8] or a puzzle-focused area called "The Adventures Of Captain Toad" with the Toad Brigade Captain playable. The maps also contain items such as coins and 1-Up Mushrooms, Sprixie Houses[9] where a Sprixie denizen offers a stamp, and other secrets.
