Fuzzy Flood Mine Piano Cover - Super Mario 3D World 🎹

Super Mario 3D World is a 3D platformer action game for the Wii U, released in November 2013. It is a follow-up game of the Nintendo 3DS installment Super Mario 3D Land, the fifteenth title in the Super Mario series, the seventh 3D Mario title overall, and the fifth 3D Mario title on a home console after Super Mario Galaxy 2. The game builds upon the previous installment, following a similar 3D level-design convention inspired from the 2D platformer titles where players must navigate through a linear-designed level within a time limit to reach a level's Goal Pole. The game's plot centers around Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and Toad having to rescue the rulers of the Sprixie Kingdom, the Sprixie Princesses from Bowser.

An enhanced port called Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury for the Nintendo Switch will be released on February 12, 2021.

One key aspect introduced in this title is the simultaneous multiplayer: while not the first game in the series to do so, it is the first 3D title in the Mario series to incorporate up to four players cooperating with each other to reach the goal. Players can select their character from a pool of playable characters prior to starting the game; each of these characters have their own unique playstyle that gives them advantages and disadvantages over other characters. The game makes use of several Wii U exclusive features, such as tapping blocks with the touch screen on the GamePad and blowing into the mic to reveal hidden items and blow away enemies. Various new power-ups are introduced in this title, with the trademark suit being the Cat power-up, which enables characters to perform a melee attack, climb up walls, and leap while midair, as well as the game generally having a cat-based theme.

It included Miiverse integration through collectible stamps that could be used in Miiverse posts, and the Ghost Mii functionality that emulates players replaying levels for other players to view; however, the service was terminated on November 7, 2017, meaning that stamps can be collected but not used. Additionally, the Miiverse posts that appeared on the course select screen and when selecting courses are no longer present.

The game introduces a smaller set of levels called Captain Toad's Adventures, which were later reused and expanded into its own standalone title and prequel, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker.

Trivia:

The level Mount Must Dash is a reference to Super Mario Kart, with the music being a remix of the Mario Circuits' music.

According to the game's Producer, Koichi Hayashida, Peach was not originally intended to be playable at the start of development, and was intended to be the damsel in distress character as she is in other Mario titles. The idea of her being playable was brought up by the game's producer, Yoshiaki Koizumi, who told the team that Peach should be playable, stating "I think she adds a lot to the sense of competition when you get in multiplayer. You can have different people choosing different characters based on their personality or whoever they like. And Princess Peach is just really a lot of fun to play!"

The theme for the Captain Toad levels is the Toad Brigade theme from Super Mario Galaxy.

The end of the E3 2013 reveal trailer shows Mario making it to the top of a flagpole and being rewarded with 10,000 point as well as an extra life. In the final game, reaching the top of a flagpole only rewards the player with 10,000 points.

This was most likely changed because the player could use the Cat Suit to climb to the top of the flagpole, making it incredibly easy to get a 1-up every time they reach a flagpole.
