DevelopmentSuper Mario 3D World was first mentioned during the January 2013 Nintendo Direct alongside, in which it was announced that a new 3D Mario platformer was being developed by the same team behind. It was later properly announced in the June 11, 2013 Nintendo Direct during E3 2013, when its release window was also revealed.Plans for Super Mario 3D World picked up following the release of.

Like with, the developers intended to bridge the gap between 2D and 3D to appease fans of the New Super Mario Bros. Games that did not care for the 3D installments.According to, early in development Peach was planned to reprise her role as damsel-in-distress. However, suggested to the development team that she should instead be a playable character, akin to. Super Mario 3D World ended up being the first, and so far, the only 3D Mario platformer in which Princess Peach is playable and not kidnapped. Similarly, Rosalina was added into the game in response to her rise in popularity among fans.According to game director, the game went through numerous concepts suggested by over one hundred staff members via sticky notes that were extensively playtested, such as the and levels. The was one of the earliest ideas that passed development, with the intention of creating a method of directly attacking enemies and assisting novice players in clearing obstacles. The, on the other hand, was conceived entirely by accident when a staff member inadvertently loaded two identical character models into a test level, which was well-received by the developers and thus hurriedly added into the final game.

Reception Critical receptionSuper Mario 3D World received widespread critical acclaim and has been praised for its gameplay, visuals, music, level design, the Cat form's usefulness, and its improved 4-player co-op compared to New Super Mario Bros. However, it has been criticized for camera issues and co-op control issues. The game currently has a score of 93 on Metacritic based on 83 reviews and a score of 92.56% on GameRankings based on 54 reviews.Mark Walton, reviewing for GameSpot, called the game an 'exceptional craft' with 'painstaking focus on the minute details that are integral to making it feel special.' He also added that 'every one of the game's levels is a golden nugget of heavenly platforming joy, where ideas are rarely repeated-and if they are, they're given such a twist as to make them feel new again.' Jose Otero of IGN gave the game a 9.6 out of 10, commenting that, 'After 28 years of making marvelous Mario platform games, you'd think Nintendo would run out of ideas. But Super Mario 3D World defies such logic and creativity sets itself apart-in good ways-from its outstanding recent predecessors.' Chris Carter, reviewing for Destructoid, called it one of the greatest Mario games ever made and gave it a 10 out of 10, stating, 'Why is 3D World so good?

Because it's essentially a complete refinement of everything that was great about 3D Land, a game that I happen to think is criminally underrated. 3D World is pretty much a joy ride from start to finish-and that 'start' is as quick as ever.' Adam Cook from God is a Geek scored the game as a 100, saying, 'Unimpeded creativity drips from every moment, forcing an awed expression from the most cynical of mouths. Decades old ideas are renewed with such ease and simplicity that it’s almost unnerving. I’ve fought Bowser more times than I can even remember, yet the first encounter somehow feels fresh.

There’s always a princess, there’s always another castle, Bowser is still involved (this time he’s stolen Sprixies and locked them in jars) – it’s the design and execution of it all that makes it so special.' ReviewsReviewer, PublicationScoreCommentJose Otero,9.6/10'Super Mario Galaxy 2 successfully iterated on one of the most inventive platformers of the last console generation. Super Mario 3D World takes slightly smaller steps in the grand scheme of the platformer genre, but it fulfills the promise of a multiplayer Mario much better than anything that the Japanese game maker has done before. Super Mario 3D World is marvelous, and its constant variety and fantastic light-hearted co-op play proves that Nintendo still knows exactly how to tweak the Mario formula in fun ways.'

Mark Walton,9/10'Super Mario 3D World is a game of exceptional craft, of painstaking focus on the minute details that are integral to making it feel special. The pace at which you're thrown from one ingenious concept to the next as perspectives, tempos, and mechanics change would choke a lesser game, but here it's done with a seamlessness that makes such rapid inventiveness look easy. This is a game where every level is a golden nugget of heavenly platforming joy, where ideas are rarely repeated-and if they are, they're given such a twist as to make them feel new again.' Thomas Whitehead,10/10'Super Mario 3D World can be easily summarised — it’s a terrifically enjoyable, tight and impeccably structured experience. It recalls the mascot’s 3D heritage while providing the perfect starting point for those that prefer 2D platforming, catering to an audience of beginners and skilled veterans alike. Nintendo’s also mastered Mario multiplayer for, arguably, the first time; it’s still manic and can be either co-operative or competitive, but there’s also a sense of space that allows determined groups to progress coherently.This is a definitive 3D Mario experience, successfully finding a middle-ground between the iconic Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Galaxy. You may not swing Bowser by his tail or run upside down, but it’s bursting with creativity nonetheless, while delivering on the craft and skill that defines the Tokyo EAD studio.

It’s unmissable.' Danielle Riendeau,90/100'Super Mario 3D World doesn't reinvent the Mario formula.

But it is in every way its own game, with a bright, joyful aesthetic that's supported by inspired level design and a cast that matters. It gets the balance right between nostalgic touches and clever new twists, and never once let me down with a boring boss or too-familiar retread.

In all my years of playing with the Mario gang, I've never been quite so happy to hurl myself into the unknown, and 3D World delivers challenge, surprise and joy in almost every moment.'
