Mario 3D World is meh at best

3D World is an awesome party game, but it lacks the substance of a mainstream Mario single-player game. Because of that, it definitely feels phoned-in, especially when you compare it to 3D Land, which was released on 3DS around the same time.

Bowser's Fury wasn't too bad.

@PityOnU I agree in part, but the multi-player aspect is a way to make the game harder by essentially pitting the players against one another most of the times. Auto scrolling levels come to mind, and levels where there are long stretches of collapsible platforms. Or most of Bowser's battles, where the game area is too fricking small.

And what the hell are Captain Toad levels doing in this game?

@XAIXER
Ah, the part they tried to justify full price. Will have to try it.

The captain toad levels started in this game. The actual captain toad game was just made because those levels got enough positive feedback

I really enjoyed the captain toad levels, but the time limits spiked my anxiety.

With the cheats enabled, (Unlimited time, Moonjump, etc) I like it

I think the multiplayer is one of the best parts. It's an absolute mess for sure but can create some really stupid fun experiences. For the most part though I agree. Mechanically it's pretty solid and there are lots of really good ideas and level designs, but overall I think the game is pretty soulless.

This track is probably one of the best things from this game. I love it, one of my favorite Mario tracks. It's so groovy and unique

Awe so sad !!!!

Why don’t you cry us a river or how about sell it and move on

I do not concur.

Never did like this game; the levels are just not as well-designed as the ones in 3D Land, the Tessie (or whatever) levels suck since the water beast is hard to control, and why are Peach and Rosalina playable? Oh, and clone-cherries are awful.

I regret buying the original Wii U game, I really do; I have zero intentions of buying the Switch port.

Yeah, no. They already had too many girls with bloody Peach and Rosalina, and making Toad into Toadette would've made it much worse.
New Super Mario Bros. had the right idea with Mario, Luigi, Blue Toad and Yellow Toad.

@AkiraKurusu You like sausage?
Come on... We are over that. Making Toadette present is no extra work.

@elm I love you too.

@monkeyman4412 I think we are in sync.

@Seliph The problem is that there are no infinite lives, and making it a communal experience creates a lot of frustration.

My least favorite part is in multiplayer where you get bubbled to the other players if you go off-screen. Who does the camera follow??? It almost feels arbitrary.
