| Super Mario 3D World (Wii U) |
 Super Mario 3D World was released in 2013 for the Wii-U, and was the sequel to the 2011 game Super Mario 3D Land for the Nintendo DS. It's the sixth 3D game for Mario. TBH, if my assessment of the truths of this game are a little off, I've been WAY out of the field of Mario games since the 1990's, so I'm not exactly the best source of infoirmation. Actually, I'm kind of cheating and reading Wikipedia.
So what I assess is that Mario, Luigi, Princess, and some others find this clear warp pipe in the middle of a field in the Mushroom Kingdom and Bowser comes out and sucks them into Sprixie Land where they have to save these little critters called Sprixies. Basically, it's a mish-mash of something like Super Mario 64 and a game like Super Mario Bros. 3 (it takes a lot of sounds and elements from Super Mario Bros. 3). I think this game is most famously known for Mario's "Cat Suit" - where Mario turns into a cat, can claw his ways up a walls, and jump a little bit higher IIRC. The game plays from a 3D Roving camera perspective, but can also seem 2-Dish like oldschool 8-bit Mario at times (which is my preferred genre of Mario game TBH). |
