Super Mario 3D Land Video Shows Raccoon Bowser and More

This was foreseen in the Mario cartoon when Koopa made the pendant to steal Mario's powers!

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!!

Sorta reminds me of mario land 2 where wario uses fire flower and bunny hood.

This game just looks unbelievably good.

I cant believe how often I've watched this single trailer now..^^

Sweetnessness.

I don't think the Tanooki tail suits Bowser but that trailer was still really good.

awesome

Looks fantastic! I'm totally excited for this! cant remember a time when I did get that excited about a Mario game (and usually I'm thrilled anyway!)
Bring on Nov. the 19th

Is that the art work of the game? This... is to awsome.

I was going to get other games in novemer, but I think Skyward Sword is going to have a new friend

whoa. WHOA
this is a truly unique mario ! i love the top down aerial view.

november gonna be brutal... mario and monster hunter, not counting awesome titles on ps3 like skyrim and battlefield 3...
plus skyward sword...

Pro: propellor blocks in a 3D Mario? Awesome.

Con: looks like another boring, linear level select like in Galaxy 2. I'm rarely disappointed by anything in Mario games, but I've grown very disheartened with their recent abandonment of any kind of interesting hub or over-world.

Super Mario World had its beautiful 2D over-map, Mario 64 had the castle, and Sunshine boasted the greatest 3D hub to date... so Nintendo undoubtedly once understood how to make enjoyable maps and hubs better than anyone. But now... they've just given up. It made Galaxy 2 a much less enjoyable experience than its predecessor, for me, and it makes this game seem less exciting than it should be.

Bowser? Ok. But there's a GOOMBA with a tail! Sneaky!

Great video, makes mario seem more alive and moving fast, can't wait.

@wariowoods: that's a matter of personal taste.

This look amazing I can't wait to play it. I'll get it along with Skyward Sword since they release the same day in Europe, but I probably won't play it for like a week or something. Skyward Sword is gonna get all my time

@16 Believe me, I know that it's a matter of taste, but it's notable as perhaps the only area where my own tastes have diverged sharply from the recent Mario series. If not for the hub / map downgrades, these games would be the perfection of game design.

Only thing I'm concerned about with this is the camera. Camera controls can make or break a 3D platformer, and they can be tricky to get right on a handheld.

Still a day one purchase for me.

Maybe it's a fashion trend of the Mushroom Kingdom to have a raccoon tail. Like, they're going back in style or something. XD

november is a busy month for me, i have zelda, super mario 3D land, shinobi, cave story 3D, james noir's hollywood crimes, and maybe the new call of duty game.....can't wait for the new mario game. it looks awesome

Wait, Cave Story 3D is coming out in November too?? What's the exact date?

Damn, November is one hell of a gaming month!

@warioswoods

Glad to see someone thinks the same way I do. I´ve missed World style map since New Super Mario Bros. I thought they´d make a better make for a sequel, but no.

@Omenapoika My friend, indeed you are teh 1337 in Nintendo knowledge.

I'm not that excited for this anymore. Seems like another Galaxy with a few extra power-ups to me. I'll buy it eventually, but not this year.

This game gets better and better with every trailer released.

I can't believe I just noticed the raccoon tail. Similar to Comment 1, that kinda reminds me of this:

Oh wow, Nintendo. Stop releasing video of this game! It's only making me more impatient! >:/

What I want to know is if both Racoon and Tanooki Mario are returning? I'm fine with just one but I'm wondering if the statue aspect will be in it.

you guys are a bit late with this one . already saw it 3 days ago

I am TOTALLY gonna get this game!

they are tacking raccoon tails on everything (as evidenced by my avatar). I wonder how it is going to change how the enemys operate

I just can't wait to play this game. That's just freaking awesome!!!

Awesome, period.

The map looks a wee bit rubbish. A bit too simple if that's all it is. I wish they'd go back to the maps as they were in the likes of SMB3 and SMW with maybe a quick select option for those times when you can't be bothered walking to the whatever level you want to play.

Looks like a good game, and I'll be picking it up. I know right now my complaints with the game will be that it is too easy and too short. I also cant believe the hype that gets thrown up about something as simple as bowser having the tanooki tail in one boss fight. It's as if anything new in this series conjures mass excitement..

Even the BULLET BILLS have tails. O_o

This game looks like the result of an organic reaction between both New Super Mario games and Super Mario Galaxy 2 with Super Mario 3 as a catalyst.

I'm trying to determine whether or not that's a good thing.

It is a very very good thing.

Am I the only one who noticed the toad during the bowser battle, probably waiting to tell Mario that the princess is in another castle?

Cool! Really looking forward to this game!

Nice trailer! And bowser having a racoon-tail: Crazy!

I agree with everyone craving a good level select map of old. I blame that new guy whose making the new Mario platformers like the galaxy series (or maybe Miyamoto himself is getting lazy or thinks creative maps are too hard and confusing for this new fluffy gamer generation).

Too . much . Tanooki ! _{or raccoon i don't care.}
Makes you wonder if Miyamoto is blackmailed by Tom Nook because he needs another room to store underused peripherals ...

"This video coming soon in 3D on Nintendo eShop"

Awesome! I can't wait for Mario 3D Land. It looks absolutely exciting!

This is going to be completely awesome! I love these kinds of games! I'm totaly buying this. This will probably be my favorite game for the 3DS

Ikr!. @Thwiidscube

So want, especially after watching that video!

This game is making me consider getting a 3DS.
