Super Mario 3D Land Deserves to Be Remembered

Before we all go back to 3D World, it's time to look back at what came before

when 3D Land was the only game you had for a while, you appreciate the living hell outta it. Even when i have more to play, this game will always be remembered.

Whoever has forgotten about this game deserves to be reminded about it.

Just replayed it the other day. Really fun game and still holds up well.

3D Land has my favorite Peach rescue sequence ever. I mean, Peach watched Mario fall down into a chasm, and she doesn't _know_ what happens to him. Sure, we know Mario is going to end up saving her, and she probably knows that too; but, at that time, she's stuck tied to a flagpole in a tower that soon gets destroyed, not knowing about the battle going on between Mario and Bowser. All she can do is wait, and hope.

And then... Mario's there. Peach's reaction gets me every time, because you can hear the relief in her voice as she calls out his name. Mario unties her and they do a sweet little dance together. And then, Mario uses the Super Leaf and flies back to Mushroom Kingdom, carrying his princess safely back home.

I just love it. ❤

The Flag sections being a representation of the ideas presented in each level of this game is brilliant, never thought about that. Great essay Jon.

Indeed! This game is always overshadowed by 3D World! It’s fun, gorgeous and creative.
Thank you so much for talking about it!

I can express enough how nostalgic the music in this game is for me, I was 10 when this game released and hearing these songs again for the first time in nearly 10 years is great

I think they should have done a 3D Land remaster with the World re-release.

This was the first 3ds game I couldn’t put down. I took it everywhere with me!

[skikes]

i wanna see the 10 seconds of footage before "HEY EVERYONE!!!"

[CRAZYGREGFILMS]

I would love a port of this for the switch.

3D Land was my first 3DS game, I hold deep nostalgia for it

11:13 You can actually skip the level without that tanooki suit, with a well-placed wall jump.

I LOVE Super Mario 3D Land! It was my first ever Mario game I got back in like 2011 when I got my 3DS and I beat the entire game! Super underrated! Definitely needs more recognition! 💙💙

At a first glance, I've read "deserves to be remastered"

[ChaChaFunk]

3D land walked so 3D world and, consequently, odyssey could run

it's a great game and I'm glad people are beginning show it more love

How can you forget Mario land was easily one of the top 5 games on the 3ds

I still remember the hype I felt for this game. Still remains one of my favorite childhood adventures.

This makes me want to replay the game, despite having already beaten it at least 4 times already lol
