![]() ![]() And even though Bowser is still here and I would appreciate a different villain for a change (the Mario series, even the platformers, have had villains other than Bowser, believe it or not), I don't mind Bowser in this game too much because of one of 3D World's other positive traits: it has personality. 3D World is a more exciting and more engaging Mario game because it is not afraid to throw out conventions that have been bogging down the series for years in favor of a new experience. Neither does anything besides Mario's ability to run and jump. Yoshi does not need to be in every Mario game. 3's auto-scrolling tank brigades recreated in 3D (more Mario 3 nostalgia, yes, but fresher than the airships), and a new dino buddy named Plessie. While Bowser is present and accounted for, there's no Bowser Jr., no Koopalings, no clown copter, no airships, and no Yoshi instead we have new bosses like a gigantic regal snake with a kickass battle theme, auto-scrolling train levels as well as Super Mario Bros. The catch here is that while 3D World is nothing less than a great video game and does a lot to set it apart from previous Super Mario games, it is still a very familiar experience, and is plagued by that feeling of "been here, done this, seen that, seen this" that has bogged down the Mario series since the original Super Mario Galaxy.ĭespite this, one of 3D World's strengths is that it is not afraid to ignore recently overused series staples and do something new. The visuals are bright and beautiful beachside levels glisten in the sun and food-themed levels are so delectable that I want to take a bite out of my TV screen. Mario moves with a tightness and precision that makes moving around in his world a pleasure and allows for an optimum input system that allows you to focus on maneuvering through the many varied and interesting obstacles in his path. Almost every inch of this experience has been polished and designed with care in order to bring a smile to the player. This is probably the best compliment I can give to the game. ![]() Super Mario 3D World is a game of incredible joy and immense fun. ![]()
