Previous Mario games have allowed the suspended-in-blue hero to roam fully rendered 3D landscapes. Now, for the first time, players can see the true depth of their environment without the need for special glasses. Super Mario is a 3D evolution of the classic Mario platformer with new levels and challenges.
3D visuals make it easier for players to judge the depths and distances in their environments. Players can more accurately judge the jump to the next platform or Mario’s distance from a question block.
New and familiar abilities add unique game-play strategies to the adventure. Mario can perform a rolling somersault attack or run fast with a dash move. Or, as Tanooki Mario, he can use his tail to hover, perform floating jumps or attacks.
The Slide Pad offers players complete control to confidently move Mario through fun and challenging environments.
New enemies include a Tail Goomba, a tall stack of Goombas and an Inky Piranha Plant that spits ink to obscure a player’s view.
