Nintendo just released a new video sharing a little information about the StreetPass mode in surefire Christmas hit Super Mario 3D Land as well as some of the other recently announced features and characters.
The local sharing function allows players to exchange so-called "Mystery Box" levels with each other. These stages are single boxes containing power-ups and enemies, with the idea being to collect the items and dispatch the enemies, of course. Some give you 1-Ups, others offer Star Medals or just regular power-ups, so here's hoping there's a decent variety of sharing ahead to make StreetPass worthwhile.

Aww this is the cutest Mario game ever, I just love those colorful grafics!
Really have no better idea what that Mystery box is about, it IS mysterious. hehe
coll idea with the mystery boxes
Looks amazing!!! Cant wait!!!!!!!!
looks like a lot of fun.be out soon
Looks awesome!!!
I wasn't entirely sold on this, even after playing the demo-y bit, seemed lacklustre compared to the awe-inspiring Galaxy 2. This cheerful trailer has got my excitement levels up though, bring on 18th Nov, Nintenday!
Sooooooo, do we create the mystery boxes we send out to others?
Looks good can't wait to play this
@9 a long corner
No-brainer Day One purchase.
Still on fence for this one, I know I will get it but now when it comes out.
Maybe I'll have more luck getting streetpass hits with this, i've had a grand total of 1 on dead or alive dimensions and 1 on streetfighter 4.
Not exactly inspiring.
Still, I think I'm going to have to wait until christmas to get this.
Sounds like the mystery boxes are going to be small, short, high-action experiences you'd probably replay as time trials?
The mystery boxes seem like a decent addition but nothing that exciting. That trailer overall was great though!
Less than 1 month
I know they won't, but it would be cool if you could make your own custom Mystery Boxes.
Have I pre-ordered this? Is that even a valid question at this point?
amazing avatar, @tertium_quid
Cool trailer! Maybe N will fix the Streetpass, to make it work in an @ home-3DS-connected-to-the-internet-type setting. Edit: Actually, Nintendo making an online hub to meet, talk, & game w/ friends, while you're at home would make the 3DS more versatile, & neat!
Mystery Box levels really should be a spotpass feature.
My first priority is Mario Kart.
BUT YOU'RE NEXT
Hmm, I hope the mystery box thing isn't essential to complete the game.
Let's hope a mystery box holds a Ray Gun!
This game will make 3DS sales go crazy!
@Motang, yea I'm with you on that.
Can't wait for this game, it looks incredible!!!
