Once this mode is completed, the player can access a level select. This is a harder version of the game which has a number of changes, some examples of which are more monsters in certain levels (some in levels that they weren't previously in) and more falling ceilings and stalactites in the indoor levels. However, the mushroom cursor next to "Start" changes to an image of Mario's head, meaning that the player can play in Hard Mode. The superball is also useful in that it collects coins as it touches them, allowing Superball Mario to collect coins that are out of his reach.Īfter the game is completed, the game returns to the title screen. The superball disappears when it hits an enemy, bounces off screen, or after a short time. Instead of bouncing along the ground like regular fireballs, the superball always bounces at a diagonal angle, allowing it to ricochet around the entire playing field, bouncing off walls, blocks, even ceilings. One unique feature of the game was that at two points in the game, Mario drives two different vehicles, the Sky Pop and the Marine Pop, adding variety to the gameplay.Īlso, the traditional Fire Flower power-up was slightly different in this game, instead being called the "Super Flower" and transforming Mario into Superball Mario. for the Nintendo Entertainment System, with similar physics and the inability to backtrack to previous screens, as well as lacking any sort of save feature. Super Mario Land plays similarly to the classic Super Mario Bros. Mario engages Biokinton and Tatanga's powerful spaceship Pagosu in the final stage. The last level of Chai includes a level played in Mario's airplane, the Sky Pop. World 4, Chai, is Asian-themed, with Asian music and bamboo in the background.He's a strong rock creature who attacks Mario with bouncing rocks called Ganchans. World 3, Easton, has an Easter Island theme and has Moai in the background.The boss here is Dragonzamasu, a strange seahorse creature with powerful bubble attacks. The final level has Mario riding his submarine, the Marine Pop. The boss of this area is King Totomesu, a sphinx/lion creature who breathes fire.

It is relatively easy and used to introduce new players to the game.

I'm not sure if the New Nintendo 3DS normally contains protective tape packaging, but it's worth noting.When Princess Daisy of Sarasaland is kidnapped by the alien Tatanga, Mario sets out to rescue her. Oddly enough, the New Nintendo 3DS box (itself) did not have any protective tape, to prove that the device and contents are new. Fortunately, the New Nintendo 3DS functions, upon having to open the product and test it- per, the New Nintendo 3DS box being smashed. The sleeve covers, that cover the New Nintendo 3DS (printed Mario covers), were also mildly damaged. has caused my Christmas present to my son, to become horribly smashed-up (the box and sleeve covers). Back to what I was saying about the pro, also doubling as a con- having a package shipped extremely fast (probably because of the holidays) in such poor packaging protection:
#Nintendo 3ds super mario 3d land bundle pro
However, this pro is also a part of the con.Ĭons: The device was shipped in a paperback type of sleeve, with little to no bubbles remaining. Pros: It arrived in my mailbox in 3 days, through USPS, even though it was stated to arrive in 7-10 business days.
