Super Mario 3D Land 2011

Is it still worth playing?

Nintendo's 2011 platformer for the Nintendo 3DS, the first Mario game on the system, in which Mario sets out to rescue Princess Peach, kidnapped by Bowser. It combines traditional 2D side scrolling elements, such as linear levels, with moving Mario in three dimensions and a variety of actions. Health works through Mario shrinking when he takes damage, a dedicated Dash button sets his speed, and damage as Small Mario costs a life. Two new moves are the barrel roll, which can break blocks, and the roll jump, which covers more horizontal ground. Traditional items such as the Super Mushroom, Fire Flower and Starman appear, along with new power ups that give Mario special suits, and you have a time limit to reach the end of each level. Each stage still has a clear path with room to wander, in levels that run in a line while Mario moves in three dimensions.
