Story:
SPOILER ALERT Bowser kidnapped Princess Peach yet again -_-. Dang Peach loves to get kidnapped. Yea story as the same as always, but I can care less about the story. I mean who plays a Mario game for the story LOL. BEST STORY EVER overall, no just playing .


Gameplay:
This Mario game is a 3D platformer with a 2D twist. The game is linear in way that you go all the way to the flagpole without trying hard to find it. You can explore the worlds' to see if there are any star medals'. Star medals let you unlock even more levels, there is about three star medals in each levels. There is sixteen worlds' in the whole game, 8 normal, and 8 special. The cool thing is that you can also play as Luigi after you beat the first special world. Most of the levels are easy, but are still LOTS of fun. I also like the power-ups like the tanooki suit, boomerang suit, fire flower, and a tanooki suit that can turn into a stone Mario, there is much MORE suits. The gameplay overall is a bit easy, but overall tons of fun!


Graphics:
The graphics are beautiful! They look like Mario Bros. 3 mixed with Mario Galaxy, which is awesome! The 3D enhances the gameplay by helping you know were you should land while jumping, plus the 3D also looks good. The graphics in this game are nice and top-notch.


Sound:
The music here is nice with some really cool remixes from past Mario games. The music is very cheerful, and can be epic like when you fight Bowser or !SPOILER ALERT! Dry Bowser. I liked the music overall, but isn't the best Mario soundtrack in my opinion.


Final Verdict:
The game overall is very good, and worth a purchase. The only complaint I can find in this game is that it's a bit easy. Mario 3D Land will make you want to play it everyday, it's just that awesome! This game also comes with a 3DS update that improves the friend list by adding a join game button.

+ Lots of Levels
+ Fun Gameplay
+ Good Replay Value
- A Bit Easy

Overall: 9.5/10
