SUPER MARIO 3D WORLD

[zlaker]

I can't believe someone have made a topic to this epic game. So yeah 3D World. What you think of it and is it better than the SMG series? Was it original or like 3D Land. Discuss below.
IMO 3D World is the best Mario game in the main series. The gameplay and level design was incredible and I liked that the Galoombas and the Chargin' Chuck returned from SMW. The soundtrack was one the reasons the game was worth to play. They were marvelous and me and my friends enjoyed the game really. But the multiplayer camera was a bit pain. But otherwise the game was great. Now what's you thoughts about the game?

I thought this game was fantastic. Most levels felt original and pleasing in some form or another, the green stars and stamps were fun to hunt for, and the physics are extremely comfortable even when you start out with any of the characters. I had a blast with just about every aspect of the game. I also enjoyed the Captain Toad levels, that's a really neat puzzle concept. It's a shame there are only about 6 of them, though. I could easily enjoy an entire game of those.

But yeah, multiplayer's hit and miss. Camera's terrible, friendly fire with the player cannon is ridiculous, some levels aren't even worth bothering with in co-op, but some of the levels still work quite well with it.

Yeah, 3D World is a great Mario game, especially when playing with friends for me at least and it really showed me that the 3D World formula can work really well. It's definitely cemented as my second favorite mainstream Mario game, aside from Super Mario Galaxy 1&2 (it's impossible for me to think of one without thinking of the other at this point). Captain Toad was really great like Chad said. I wish they'd released a level pack for him or something; he definitely didn't get enough screentime to really see what the level designers could come up with for him. What we did get is great though.

While I certainly understand the complaints with multiplayer, camera issues like that are pretty much unavoidable in a game like this and I think it worked really well. I had a real blast playing with a couple of friends of mine.
