The Good and Bad of Super Mario 3D Land

It's been a hot minute since playing Super Mario 3D Land? Has it aged well, or is it easily forgotten thanks to the likes of Mario 3D World?

Hey everyone, some of you may consider this a "remake" of the old Triggered and Mind Blowing videos of Mario 3D Land. Those videos are very dated now, so I thought it'd be fun to re-create them with higher resolution with the game, a better mic, a much more polished and full script, and no 4 minute Lootcrate ad ;) I don't intend on re-creating all of the older Triggered/Mind Blowing videos, but from time to time I'd like to go back to the ones that could really use a polish up. Thanks for watching, and I'll be back next week to stream the Mario Strikers demo and more!

3DL was a part of my childhood and Its a pretty solid Mario game! It has lots of pros and cons, but 3DL has a better background than 3DW (3DW at lots of parts look like a platforming void, but it was a Wii U game... So what do we expect)

[@jytvreal]

saw you on spg

[@starkman78]

Are you saying that the graphics in 3d world are bad?

[@luckywii8731]

@Lucas The Phantom Thief lots of levels tend to be floating elemental islands (3DL was the same, just did it slot less) but there are quite a few levels that do an outstanding job on background... Like the beach or swamp levels (and circus levels ect.) But the more you progress through the game, the more you notice the lack in depth in the background. Its a minor thing to accuse, but its true, 3DW definitely has a better world map though (nobody can say it doesn't)

[@luckywii8731]

@starkman78 No If I was I'd be lying so bad I'd need to get my eyes checked. 3DW definitely has better graphics than 3DL

Mario 3D land is nostalgic for me. Not only was it the first 3DS I had when it came out, but it was one of my favorites too. Dang I feel old, when it came out I was like 9 or 10, now I'm 20 😂

[@Oceane1803]

Oh my god 3D Land is so much nostalgia. It has so much references, exploration and replay value. I mean I believed I 100% finished the game for a long time, but turns out that if you never make the White Tanooki suit Box appear, your five stars become shiny stars, meaning I have to go through the whole game again (because that can't work on my 99% save file where I did make the White Tanooki suit appear), and it's honestly great because it gives me a goal, something to go towards to, that won't make starting from the beginning boring after all these years. And I would do that if I still had a properly working 3ds. Which I actually do but can't reach because toxic parents oblige. I'm 19 but they still want to have control me over things that they aren't even the ones to have bought these. Sucks.

The pros and cons of 3D Land: Pro: Very fun and fast paced levels Con: they can end too quickly Pro: Catchy music Con: some songs are repeated too much Pro: Saved the 3DS Con: 3D world is a lot better Overall I love 3D land. More than odyssey (which is weird to say) the game is simple yet creative giving it a lot of replayability

Con: 95% of Mario games are better

[@luckywii8731]

Tbh, 3DW isnt that much better than 3DL, its kinda the same thing, and 3DW is way easier (that's kinda bad) and above reply is right, NSMB/Wii and well, basically lots of Mario games are more superior than 3DW and 3DL. Don't let the fact that its 3D blind you
