'''Super Mario 3D Land''' is a ''[[Portal: Mario Brothers|Mario]]'' adventure that was produced for the [[Nintendo 3DS]].

=Story=

[[Bowser]] has kidnapped [[Princess Peach]], and [[Mario]] sets off to rescue her once again. This time, a a storm has stripped a tree near [[Princess Peach's Castle|the castle]] of its [[Super Leaf|Super Leaves]], empowering various enemies with [[Tanook Suit|Tanooki]] abilities.

=Gameplay=

Unlike the preceding [[New Super Mario Bros.|''Mario'' handheld]], this game followed a three-dimensional gameplay style that is evocative of ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', which is simplified using linear stage design elements from the side-scrolling games such as the usage of time limits and flagpoles. Mario is controlled using the circle pad and can use a number of acrobatic moves that are already familiar to players of the other 3-D games. ''3D Land'' also takes several cues from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', including the return of the [[Tanooki Suit]]. New power-ups include the [[Propeller Box]], [[Boomerang Flower]] and [[Question Box]]. Most of the usual ''Mario'' enemies are featured with new traits to further obscure the player, such as [[Piranha Plant]]s that spit screen-covering ink and tall [[Goomba]] stacks. 

Although the level goals are more linear, each level has [[Star Medal]]s hidden within them, and collecting them will unlock more courses. This game also utilizes the 3DS's stereoscopic 3D elements which help to make it easier to judge distance and uncover secrets. It is compatible with StreetPass features which allow players to exchange ? Boxes that contain items.

=Legacy=

==Sequels==

The next platforming ''Mario'' game on the [[3DS]] was the sidescrolling ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. ''3D Land'' would later receive a direct sequel in the form of ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' for the [[Wii U]] in 2013. This installment reprised the playable roster from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' by adding [[Princess Peach]] and [[Toad]] as playable characters.
