Template:Infobox Super Mario (working title), is an upcoming game based on the Super Mario franchise for the Nintendo 3DS. It seems to be based on sides-crolling Mario games, yet it is a 3D platformer. It is being created by the same development team that worked on Super Mario Galaxy series, being part of Nintendo EAD Tokyo. Super Mario for Nintendo 3DS is the twelfth installement in the Mario main series and is the second Mario 3D platforming game on a handled system after Super Mario 64 DS.
Gameplay
The gameplay of Super Mario for 3DS will be similar to many 3-D Super Mario games, like Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine. However, the game will include features that were only seen in the 2-D Super Mario games, such as Small Mario, a feature mostly seen in titles such as New Super Mario Bros. and New Super Mario Bros. Wii for example. Among some notable objects are the Comet Medals that may return in the game, however, it is unknown if wether or not will function in the same way as appeared in Super Mario Galaxy 2. Similar to that of Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2, Mario will be having a similar act of these games, especially the enemies, as shown in the gameplay how a Goomba chases after Small Mario in one of the screenshots.

Development
It was first announced in a "Iwata Asks" interview with Shigeru Miyamoto, where he confirmed that a new Super Mario Bros. for the Nintendo 3DS game is in development, but currently has not been given a proper title.[2] According to Satoru Iwata "it will be a game that will come with the kind of surprises and fun that only the 3DS can offer".[3] The game was announced officially in the Game Developers Conference held in San Francisco on March 2, 2011, under the name Super Mario. Satoru Iwata also stated that Super Mario for the 3DS will be shown in the E3, 2011.
Trivia
- The logo, although temporary, notably appears to have some sort of tail. 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. It was also said they were thinking about the Raccoon Tail from Super Mario Bros. 3.
- In the third screenshot, it is seen that Mario is small and has no cap, similar to Wario's tiny form.
- It may also suggest that the player can lose Mario's cap in the game, like in Super Mario 64.
