Mario comes in many different iterations from his first 8 bit adventure through his 16 bit days and beyond. His most recent is one of the most fun and social ways to play a Mario game that I can remember. Mario’s latest foray is in a 3D interactive environment full of bad guys of all shapes and sizes. The bigger the more fun to take down.
Family Video Game
Super Mario 3D World takes the familiar run and jump mechanics of 2D Mario puts them into a 3D environment AND throws in the fun of co-op with up to 4 players. Players can pick between Mario, Luigi, Toad and for the long awaited return of Princess Peach. Each player races to the end of the level, trying to collect more coins and rack up more point than the other players, sometimes working together, but at all times competing for those little gold coins.
The bad guys include fire flowers, turtles, and of course the big villain himself- Bowser. While progressing through each level, the players are rewarded with access to the next leading up to a boss battle, with one, sometimes more big guys who have a trick or a pattern to them, that once figured out makes the battles a breeze but is always fun to figure out, especially with a room full of people. The “Ah ha!”, moments are always entertaining.
The beauty of the co-op in Super Mario 3D World, is it is simple and easy for everyone. If Dad is good at platforms and the little ones aren’t so much, it is easy to keep the level progressing by dad while the little ones grab as many coins as possible.
Super Mario 3D World is available now in fine stores everywhere as well as downloadable via the Nintendo eShop. The game retails for $59.99.

My son loves all things Mario, and is having a big surgery will make him immobile for months. We like to play as a family. The game looks so fun!
It’s a great game 🙂 Good luck to your son!
my grandsons would love this,their uncle did when he was little
I loved Mario growing up. This version looks way more fun than the one that we had.
I still love and play the mario games on my Wii! Need to check this one out! Thanks so much for sharing! Happy New Year!
Cat Mario!
not as cool at Tanoki Mario but definately less rabid.
My son loves video games. He has played most of the Mario games but doesn’t have a Wii U yet. This looks like a fun addition to the Mario suite. I’ll have to check for a Wii version of the games.
Thanks for your post!
I wish this game was on other gaming platforms! My girls want a wii u just for this game!! They are always talking about the kitty cat mario game!
You know years ago I had a wii and I just didn’t have the time to play it, so I sold it. Now I’m thinking I should have kept it because my four year old would totally love playing something like this.
This totally looks like a fun game that me and my kids could get into! Thanks for sharing.
