Super Mario 3D Land reinvents everything fans love about Mario™ gaming
with the first platforming environment in true 3D, without the need for
special glasses Players will experience an exhilarating new sense of
depth, distance and speed while running, jumping and stomping on enemies
throughout the levels.

Tanooki Mario returns! The fan-favorite Tanooki suit makes its first
appearance on the Nintendo 3DS. Use the Tanooki suit’s tail to attack
enemies or float gently down from great heights. These abilities help
players move through the 3D environments with more confidence.

3D visuals make it easier for players to judge the depths and
distances in their environments. Players can more accurately judge the
jump to the next platform or how far Mario is from a question block.

New and familiar abilities add unique game-play strategies to the
adventure. Mario can perform a rolling somersault attack or run fast
with a dash move.

The Circle Pad gives players complete control to confidently move
Mario through fun and challenging environments.

New enemies include Goombas with tails, tall stacks of Goombas and a
Piranha Plant that spits ink to obscure a player’s view.
