i had a blast with 3d land. to me it seemed to be inovative and fun. essentially they took all the great epic things from most previous mario games threw them ideas in a blender and WALLA super mario 3d land comes out. Freshest mario since the 64. MY opinion no trolls please

It was extremely boring and if I was silly enough to compare it to SMG1, 2, and SM64 then it would be beyond mediocre. Probably the worst $40 I spent in a long time and the worst 3D Mario outside of Sunshine. 7 from me at best.

It's definitely the best handheld mario but the galaxy games are still better

Absolutely. Easily the best handheld Mario platformer to date.

Best hand held mario by far, but the Galaxy games are still top of the tree.

Finally someone else agrees with me! I hated this game so much, I honestly do not know if Spirit Camera or Mario 3D Land was the worse waste of money.

I like Super Mario 3D Land a lot but I think New Super Mario Bros. 2 is much better. I do not know how everyone can complain about NSMB2 being too easy but no one ever says a peep about SM3DL.

I'd consider it one of the best, but it needs more work. But I love the direction. It's the 2D Mario gameplay in 3D environment done correctly.

Well, yes, at least a contender since it seems to be decent, but Super Mario Galaxy (1 and 2) are both much better, so whilst it's a contender, it'll have no easy time convincing me ;)

They were the easiest. They weren't even trying! They did whatever came to their heads.

I can't really argue man. It was very fun. I loved the graphics, the music and the way it generally made me feel while playing it. I gave it a 9/10 and yes it's up there with some of the great Mario games. Definitely the best of the handheld ones I've played. The Mario games I would definitely put before it though are Super Mario 64, Super Mario World and Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island.

It is a great game, but it is hardly one of the best Mario games ever. If I were to make a list of the best Mario games, it would probably be outside the Top 10.

Yes. Those weren't challenging in the least.

I ended up beating the game 5 times and getting 100%. It only took 15 hours (3 hours per playthrough). I wouldn't rank it with the best Mario games, but it was fun; however, I can't help but laugh when people say that the counterargument for difficulty is the remixed worlds after the original 8.

Not in my book. I like most of the console ones better and Mario Land 2: The 6 Golden Coins is still my favorite hand-held mario.

You stole my post :P All the previous 3D Marios ruined 3D Land for me.

I love it, very fun and refreshing and I like how the levels are short and quick. Though the only difficulty came from collecting the big coins. :lol: judging a MARIO game by it's difficulty, if that's the case then every Mario game is terrible. Nostalgia is powerful.

1) Super Mario World

2) Super Mario Bros. 3

3) Super Mario Galaxy 2

4) Super Mario 64

5) Super Mario Galaxy

6) Super Mario Bros: The Lost Levels

7) Super Mario 3D Land

8) Super Mario Bros.

9) Super Mario Bros. 2

10) Super Mario Sunshine

Well at least thats how I see the top 10. Super Mario 3D Land is very good but there are many that are much better. I can see people putting it above The Lost Levels but for me that is one of the best and most underrated Mario games. Its difficulty offers a feeling of excitement and and satisfaction whenever you succeed where as I don't feel like any other Mario game had anything like that. Nothing is just handed to you in Lost levels

Not quite.

Asides from not having enough content compared to the galaxy games or some of the 2d games it also wasn't quite challenging enough, although the final level was certainly pretty tough :P

It is still a well made game however, with pretty nice graphics, superb sound and good level design with some good secrets. There was also quite a bit of attention to detail, the on little thing that stuck in my mind was the music subtely changing if you went inside a little interior section of an otherwise exterior level.

Not a contender for that title, no, but it's the best platformer of any kind on handhelds.
