ABOUT THE GAME

Super Mario 3D World is a 2013 platform game developed and published by Nintendo for the Wii U. It is the sixth original 3D platform game in the Super Mario series and the sequel to Super Mario 3D Land (2011). The game was re-released for the Nintendo Switch as Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury in February 2021. Players control Mario and his friends as they attempt to rescue fairy-like creatures called Sprixies from Bowser, who invades the realm known as the Sprixie Kingdom. Gameplay is similar to previous Mario games, with players progressing through levels to reach Bowser. It features a character selector as well as introducing a power-up called the Super Bell, which turns the player into a cat, enabling them to climb walls and use a scratch attack. Super Mario 3D World was acclaimed for its level design, presentation, replay value, and soundtrack, though some reviewers criticized its unreliable camera in the multiplayer mode. The game was a commercial success, with the Wii U version selling 5.89 million units and the Nintendo Switch version selling 13.47 million units worldwide as of March 2024, becoming the second best-selling game for Wii U and one of the best-selling games for Nintendo Switch. Between both versions, a total of 19.36 million units have been sold worldwide. A spinoff game, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, was released in November 2014.
