The designs are always playful and fun, and served new, more outrageous challenges with every stage.ģD World introduces new ideas slowly, then ramps up the difficulty as you go along. In another, old-school squid foes (bloopers, for the uninitiated) surrounded me as I had to navigate foreground and background areas in an underwater cave.
In one snowy stage, I faced off against goombas in Kuribu-shoe-like ice skates and avoided being blown off of the level by giant wind monsters. There's impressive thematic variety as well, and Mario nostalgia is well-balanced with new power-ups, enemies and obstacles. Stages are designed to work well with any number of challengers - they range from the tight, confined corridors of ghost houses to free-standing vertical gauntlets and relatively open plains. You can beat the game with any character - and with any combination of them - but I preferred Toad and Peach for their particular skills. I found the interplay between characters refreshing and fun, since, unlike in Mario's other multiplayer adventures, it actually matters who you choose to play as. Story-wise, Bowser is involved, and there are innocents to save - but Super Mario 3D World is mercifully thin on plot, allowing you to focus on the important stuff: traversing levels, finding stars that allow you to progress, and beating up bosses.Įach character has his/her strengths: Mario is the all-around dude, Luigi has the highest jump, but he's harder to control, Peach has a crucial floating move, and Toad is the fastest. and do what this crew does best: run, jump and wield power-ups across dozens of colorful stages. You play as Mario, Luigi, Peach or Toad - the original lineup from Super Mario Bros 2. But it succeeds on its own merits, with brilliant level design, excellent pacing and surprisingly coherent multiplayer action.
