It seems that, in the opinion of many, Nintendo's nailed a strong art-style and visual look for Super Mario 3D World, adopting the approach of 3DS predecessor Super Mario 3D Land while employing the more powerful hardware. Whenever new screens are released, we can't help but look.
Nintendo has now unveiled even more screens, which show some power-ups and levels not seen in previous batches. We know you like looking at them, and so do we, so they're below for your enjoyment. Don't forget that we've also uploaded footage of the first Captain Toad level, if you want to see more.
So, do these push your buttons?

^____^ come on 29th!!!!
Great stuff. Gotta beat AC4 before November 22nd.
wow those screenshot so beautiful cant wait to get my copy in 2weeks
hype, hype, hype, HYPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First I have seen where it is possible to die. (Hope they get rid of the dumb coins). Don't mind having to find secret exits (That at least give you another few levels ideally a full extra world) or finishing levels under a certain time.
Super Mario World spring!
I can't control my hype anymore! D:
I am going to have to play it prior to making any decision. (I really didn't like 3d land whereas most people did). I will have to play it in a shop though as I doubt they will do a demo. (Even a 2 min demo would be enough).
this just looks fun and great... i cant wait hope this will boost the sales of the wii.. so that more games will come also
@SetupDisk Why this will likely take about 10 hours seems to be what they go for these days.
@SanderEvers ITS NOT DOING ANYTHING!! I KEEP THROWING MONEY AT THE SCREEN BUT NOTHING HAPPENS D:
That metal clown boss looks effin' outrageous
even just watching these screens makes me smile, reminds me of playing Mario Galaxy
playstation4? xboxone? sorry, (for me) it's about games and this is where Big N wipes the floor with Microsoft and Sony (poor exclusives)
Holy Mamma Mia!
I don't think I can resist this... Wii U purchase imminent! Job done Mario
This looks so great. So many new enemies...
They just keep showing better and better screen shots of the game.
These screens made me smile... That's all I need to know
this game is looking even more amazing the more we see of it!
@ScorpionMG
I have tried to insert my credit card in the sd slot and in the cd player but nothing happened...
Gonna be an awesome Mario filled christmas for me and my family
I need this in my life already!
I've never played a Mario game where you get to grow big so those are my favorite photos.
Giant cat Bullet Bill w/ the killer whale coloring (yes I know it's supposed to be a cat) is awesome. Reminds me of the first level in Sonic Adventure. (Well the first level after that opening fight, always hated that fight.)
Well, that doesn't look amazing or anything. Is it November 22 yet??
Why didn't they just name it Mario's Cat Adventure?
Too much to handle!!
Nice.
This game looks absolutely amazing! I can't wait for November 22nd, but I guess Batman Arkham Origins and Sonic Lost World are great till then
wow stunning ! i pre-ordered from game.com ages sega ago the limited edition from game looks amazing with the keyring and outer slip cover with a cat-mario on the cover.
Beyond hype now. OMG.
Really hope this game is bundled with the 32 GB Wii U.
New enemies and everything!!
Oh God, not the bullies...
so good. why nintendo aren't doing a hardware bundle for this is beyond me.
This next gen game looks amazing
@andreoni79 - Maybe that's why my son put coins in the Wii.........
THIS. IS. ABSOLUTELY. BEAUTIFUL. AHHHH!!! Just imagine all this images in action with the awesome music and smooth movements and epic everything alkdjhslkdjhslkdjiuehde exactly 2 more weeks, guys!
Hype. and even more hype.
This is going to be awesome! And it looks so beautiful!!
I think my favorite levels are the water levels but the snow levels look really cool too. Can't wait for the 22nd.
If these visuals were on PS4/Xbone, hipster gamers would be blown away. Hypocrites.
Compare this to Knack..... LOL!!!!
Damn. 0,0
Looks like a new boss revealed, a black, bat...thing...or whatever, lol.
I just know I'm gonna enjoy the train level. xD
EDIT: enlarges image Pffft, that ain't a bat! xD
Now that is a bullet train!
Hyped as any of you, if more is possible, then more.
@Guitardude7 Agreed, I remember being so down on it. Even at E3, I was just starting to accept it as a OK game. But, now wow i'm hyped about this game.
I'm actually looking forward to Cat Mario as long as it's not over done... but with so many power up, how could it be.
@HaNks This game is a system seller, people pick up a $300 system just to buy this $60 game. Would you rather make $300 or $360 .... anyone that wants this game will pick up both. They should release a Wii Fit U Bundle that should be Nintendo priority.
Easily the most creative mario platformer since galaxy 1.
10/10
The buzz is extremely strong on Super Mario 3D World. This is a definite MUST for Wii U owners and future buyers worldwide.
IF u got a WII U and you let this game pass you by I'll have to say that your crazy
Please be more considerate with your words next time. Some people may have found your description offensive -Lz
Amazing how I've gone from mehhh at E3 to can't wait to play this! Looks so much better than nsmbu
I'm still excited for this game, the new screens look amazing! But I lost most of my hype for this game recently. It is currently directed toward the release of Super Mario Bros. 3 on the 3DS and Wii U Virtual Console.
Man, only two exact more weeks to go for me before this game will be played on my Wii U, I just have to decide if I want the retail or digital version.
DAT CLOWN!!!
Yay water levels. I was worried they would be gone considering the first couple of pictures they had didn't show underwater areas.
I'll say this - I know it's 3D Land's general structure, but this game is so much more colorful and vibrant, that it'll be a joy to play compared to 3DL.
I'm just speechless at this game's stunning reversal of perception since E3 — the past few weeks of reveals have finally shown us what next-gen Mario can be! I may finally cave in and get a WiiU for this game alone, it's just too pretty, and the apparent gameplay and aesthetic innovations seem Galaxy-like in both their scope and their effect on my imagination.
........ [drools at the mouth]
@Gso you got it. Makes you smile?! Jackpot, it's essential. Nintendo magic
WOW! I need this now!!!!!!!
This. Game. Looks. So. Amazing.
Im so excited for this, i've been waiting for another mario 3D !
Man, these screens are spectacular. This game keeps looking better and better! Gotta finish Arkham Origins before Nov. 22...
NINTENDO.....PLEASE.....
I'm already getting this game. I have it preordered. I already gave you my money. NOW PLEASE STOP SHOWING SCREENSHOTS!!! It's making the hype worse!!!!!
Anyone else trying to stop looking at pictures/videos of this game? ITS HARD TO WAIT!!!
I can't wait until Christmas! This is looking to be the best 3D Mario yet!
My God, this game looks gorgeous! This is definitely going to be the best 3D Mario!
@HyperSonicEXE My problems with 3D Land were not what it looked like. (Either technical problems or that I just don't like the whole concept.)
I like 3D Land much less than Galaxy / Mario 64 even Sunshine (Which I don't really like either).
@SockoMario Why does what it looks like determine whether it is the best ? (I think the best NSMB is the DS one (Excluding mod's for the Wii one) and it looks the worst. Even that is not as good as 3 or World.
Mega Mushroom sealed it for me! ...now if only I had a Wii U.
@Guitardude7 what's this "we" stuff ? Even at the E3 direct I knew the game would be amazing and I didn't need Nintendo to spoil the new gameplay mechanics to get hyped.... It's almost impossible for me not to look at the new screens and the videos they released (I have terrible self control), but I would have been more than contempt with purchasing the game solely based on the E3 video alone.
After how good the galaxy games were, EAD Tokyo should always have the benefit of the doubt, no matter what they show off.
Now, take a good look, ladies and gentlemen. This is how a Mario game should look in HD.
I hated the E3 trailer, even went as far as doubting this game. I'll admit, I feel pretty foolish about that now, this game seems like it will be absolutely fantastic. I don't have any more extra gaming money right now since I'm getting a PS4 at launch but this game and Donkey Kong are ones I know I'm going to have to play so hopefully I'll be able to get a Wii U and those two games by June (will get an NSMB bundle if they're still out there).
@unrandomsam I don't think this going to be the best becasue of the graphics, I think this is going to be the best in terms of gameplay.
How come there isn't a poll for favourite screenshot outside of the Smash Bros. screens? I wanna vote for these; they're way better, anyway.
@Genesaur <--- Listen to this guy, Nintendo Life!
I like that shiny jester guy.
They have really outdone themselves this time with the design of the enemies. They above all really make me want to play this game!
And what's up with that big black shiny eyes dude. How cool is he!?
nice
@SockoMario Don't see how you can make that assumption until you have played it all the way through. If you take something pretty mediocre (3D Land) make it look nicer and a few tweaks. No reason to assume it will be better than something that is about as good it gets in its genre (Galaxy). None of the video's I have seen have even had anybody playing it properly.
I am surprised that I am way more excited for this that I was for Animal Crossing, Pokemon X or GTA 5. I hope Nintendo can keep the momentum going between this and Mario Kart.
Game looks so amazing. Can't wait to open my Wii U ( Windwaker edition ) on Christmas and play this
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!! I NEEEEEEEEEED this game! Who says Mario never changes? everything in these screenshots are things never-before-seen in a Mario game... or else they're old things, done in a new way! Which is just as good!
I need to convince the people who give me presents that this is so worth it... that this is the one thing I want more than anything else...
...what I wouldn't give to be playing this on Christmas morning with my little sister on my brand-new Wii U...
@unrandomsam Well good news for ya buddy, I was in the same boat. Not really too big a fan of 3D Land like a lot of people are (I mean, I liked it, but it's not my favorite 3D Mario game), but when I got a chance to play all the available stages of the E3 demo with my cousins and friend (4 player), I really found the game special. I really really REALLY look forward to playing it again. I mean, it's best to always try it out for yourself, but I'm sure you'll probably enjoy it as much as I did. Game on!
From the very first E3 trailer I was sold on this game. From that first moment when mario's face popped up on that black screen, I was sold.
This kind of hype is good, especially for nintendo.
@unrandomsam I thought 3D Land was excellent! However, it was very easy and short, but that doesn't mean it wasn't a fun game. 3D Land is probably the most fun Mario game I've ever played. I got it in 2011, and I'm still playing it. Also this game is more than just a "few tweaks", this game has more new in it than SMG2, NSMB2, and NSMBU (I can tell). "None of the video's I have seen have even had anybody playing it properly." That's their problem, not mine. "No reason to assume it will be better than something that is about as good it gets in its genre (Galaxy)" My opinion, deal with it.
Looks like I lucked out big time; Hanukkah starts on November 27 this year. Mama mia!
I have not been this excited for a Mario game since Super Mario World was first released!
Ahh this looks so great. If marketed right, this would really sell a lot this Christmas all around the world.
@CountWavula haha same, I just picked up nsmb.U yesterday xP started playing it with my bro and sis in prepation for this
