While this isn't in our traditional review format, Craig and Jared recently talked about their experience with Super Mario 3D Land on SideScrollers. We figure we'd archive it for those who may have missed it.

I enjoyed this game very much so that I reviewed it myself and said everyone that owns a 3DS needs to play this game at least once. I still stand by that and I will say a 9/10...that pretty much hits the spot perfectly.

Super Mario 3D Land was a good game. It was perfect for handheld consoles. Short, sweet, simple. The only thing that I had to restart a level for was for collecting the Star Coins. I like the 3DS, but Super Mario 3D Land does not make the 3DS. I'm waiting for Kid Icarus: Uprising and, god forbid, Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance. Should anything else spark interest along the way, I'll check them out as well.

so nice, is there a free trial version?
LastOfTheMegamen
Imo, the game was great fun, and an awesome introduction for the 3DS (I got the game and the console at the same time), one main problem though is that they have a lot of new enemies, but then neglect to use them, instead focusing on tanooki versions of old enemies; which is cool, but gets samey. for example, on this page's image: angry coin block enemy. This appears about 3 times in the entire game.

i bought a 3ds just 4 marioland3d

Super Waluigi 3D Land
Silver Lion
Game was fun, but I'd always much rather have the option to play as Luigi from the start.
Digiwario
Well you get him after beating special world 1. Also if you want to play the FINAL level you have to get every star coin, beat every level as both Mario and Luigi and get a golden flag in every level. So even though you dont get him from the start, if you want to beat the game completely your going to have to play as him from the start. =P lol
jozza05
Why is the Tanooki power up in a mario game with a 3 in it
That Guy Named Joey
I don't remember Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 having a tanooki tail

When I tried the game at a Nintendo event, I actually enjoyed the game more then New Super Mario bros. Personally I didn't enjoy the New Super Mario Bro's though, but maybe that's because i played alone and it deserves to be played with multiple friends. I'm glad to hear Super Mario 3D Land gets way better after the main game.
dylstew
I was also pretty disappointed in the beginning,but later on I really liked it.
JasMan
Nice, I like this discussion-type review structure. It'd be cool to see more like this.
Nemo SomeGuy
Craig, Luigi is there for faster acceleration and longer slide. He plays more like Mario 1.
rush86
and he jumps higher and u mean mario the lost levels- mario 2. Cause in the original mario bros he plays just like mario
Hero of Lime Bro
One question,did the sonic level appear on the game,or it was just a lie?
Gannondorf_929
no, its in some levles, but in special areas like in warp pipes or in the clouds
Scar Symmitry
I hope there is a Mario game where Bowser would die... i am getting tired of fighting him all the time.. i want a new main villain. like Wario or Waluigi.
misterben
Try Super Mario RPG on SNES: Bowser is an ally!
dreamkaster64
I agree bowser should ease up on the main villian spot, but I dont think he should die though.
fiddlebender
The second time around is more challenging but damnit, it's the second time around! I might as well have turned the game off as it was so slow at first. The fact that it gets better LATER is not a redeeming factor in my opinion. Not a bad game at all (and certainly not a bad review, guys) but I rather have the challenge there right from the start and have the game a little bit faster. It is indeed a slow game. 7/10
CupOfYasakani
You know what I think it possibly is. People that bitch about games being hard in the beginning and they don't know what to do in a game. So that's basically, possibly be one of the reasons Nintendo did that. Was to get a feel of the game and then say "okay, time for the real thing!"
It's to save the trouble of people bitching, like seriously. Take Deus Ex Human Revolution for an example... I hate when people bitch about good games.
JETT26
agreed. I do this all time. especially with challenging games like the witcher 2, which is now one of my favorite games of all time
fiddlebender
Yeah, I totally hear what you're saying, but for me a forced tutorial is a bad tutorial. One might consider my opinion of the game harsh but what can I say, something that is such a big part of the game and disappoints me... it's a big minus to me :) I still gave it a "Buy" after all it's still decent and I don't think there are too many better games available for the 3DS right now.
CupOfYasakani
Yeah, true to no one wants a forced tutorial... That's worse than what Egoraptor showed for his Megaman v Megaman X... If I seen Roll being annoying, I would say SHUT THE FUCK UP!! *facepalm grunts*.
LordSpleach
Lazy review!
DXKramer
It keeps from repetition. And I do not think there is a nay to show good screengrabs of a 3DS yet.
powerprotoman
guys dont tell them about special world 8-crown a level that only unlocks when you get 5 stars on your profile
AsaiNeroTran
I actually didn't like the game that much. I felt that the 3D was underwhelming, if relaxing, and the game ran slow (30 fps). The first half was way too easy (I racked up some 150 lives) and the second half relied on the cheap tricks of games from way back in the day. It wasn't a bad game, but it wasn't as great as it could have been, because the nostalgia factor was used in the wrong places.
KIAFP
Maybe soon somewhere in the future Craig will learn how to say the name of the game correctly.
poonukisuit
Great review! The second part of the game is very challenging and makes playing through the whole thing worth it, its the best part of the game.
usedgamer
I'd like a game with some actual mario land elements. Like exploding turtles, bouncing fireballs, the carrot,, maybe wario as the villian again? Although there is a chance they have them.
Cyborg_Slime
the land part was only a refrence. this game has nothung to do about the the "land" series
usedgamer
Yeah thought so, but I really wish they'd add more mario land references in games. Heck they have Mario 2 stuff everywere and it's not even the real sequal in japan, plus it turns out all those events were a dream. So if they reference mario 2 how about some mario land.
SIMIFU
SideScrollers video review, we need more..
CaptainSamsquanch
100% the game within 5 days. im not saying this to show off, just to show how hard it was to put the game down! you know its going to be fun just because its mario, but i got a lot more then i expected!
sourmilkandcereal
If only I had a 3ds sad face
Alpha Unit

Mario obviously wants peaceful reviews for his new game.
