This. Screenshots and video haven't done a great job of representing the game on a visual level.
Probably the best overall looker of the current gen of 3DS games.

Silly headlines, but I'm still buying both. Although SM3DL is still my most anticipated for the year.

I thought it looked weirdly blurry on the video preview thing you can download from the eShop. I'm not sure how indicative that is of the final game, but I was sort of disappointed. It wasn't bad enough to make look bad really, but compared to other games and even other preview videos like Mario Kart, it definitely had a blurry, low-res look to it.Thoraxes said:

This is a chronic issue with pre-release 3DS media - screenshots, videos, you name it, it's all unflattering and rarely indicative of how the game actually looks, even the games that are genuinely ugly. In the case of videos it's usually due to them running at a lower framerate than the source material, or by them being poorly-encoded videos in general, but sometimes I really have no idea.

I can't find it anywhere (that without sound fx, I presume you mean); I'm checking a couple other sites though.panda21 said:

Just finished the game and
Absolutely brilliant. The controls are a little difficult with the stick occasionally, particularly for the
but so great! This is exactly what I wanted the game to be. Only way it can get better is if there are more awesome references to come like
Totally perfect that yesterday was a holiday in Japan and I could play it so much and that I had a half day today. Gotta put it down for now. Too much awesome.
started on the special levels. Only played 1-1 and the castle, where I got Luigi. Classic Tanooki!!!! Holy Crap!!!!
Bowser fight at the end when my thumbstick gets sweaty
the Yoshi's Cookie and Donkey Kong shoutouts and Super mario RPG looking cloud levels and new power ups.

NEW "Iwata Asks..." about Super Mario 3D Land
can someone tell me what song is playing at the end of the video titled "Bullet Bill, Thwomp, and Boo, too!" in the "Give Him a Tail! Give Him a Tail!" section? Its during the part with all the boos.
I know it's a tune from another Mario game but i just can't place it.

In some cases, not as a rule. It of course depended on Mario's position in relation to the enemies. It was rather annoying, though.

Right on.
I have yet to see any, but even if there is, it only has a small display that says "Time Record" (or something like that), then your Mii face and the time itself. The face and time keeps rotating showing other people's times, so I guess there you can see the people you've done street pass with.marc^o^ said:
However, I've done streetpass with 8 people that owns Mario already, and I have yet to see any. I will check again later see if they show up, but I kinda doubt it...

According to the electronic instruction manual -- the only paper manual included is a set of control diagrams -- StreetPass is used to exchange Mystery Boxes and receive items.

i'm through world 4 and haven't found it remotely challenging so far (i say this as someone who thought NSMB wii was hard as hell and have never even finished super mario bros), but it's really brilliant. the way everything works together is just wonderfully thought-out, with cute touches that'll make you smile every ten seconds from nothing more than the ingenuity of it all.
I wonder what collecting all the Star Medals does.
Are there little star icons next to your save file or whatever, a la NSMB?
It was mentioned in the Iwata Asks. You don't unlock the ability to record your times until you beat the main game, which may be why he hasn't received anyone elses' times via StreetPass.

There won't be any option for it. Nintendo releases their games on Sundays. In order for release date delivery to work, and to factor in mail isn't delivered on Sundays, Amazon would need to ship games out at least that Friday or Saturday to arrive on that Monday. Why they don't do this I don't know. They'd just need to put up a short note explaining the issue. Seems to be an acceptable deal instead of having to wait for them to ship out Nintendo games that Monday and get it that Thursday to Saturday if you go for standard shipping.Natiko said:
This is why I went and preordered Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword from my local Best Buy. Still haven't decided if I'll do the same for Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7. Amazon with free shipping would be cheaper in the long run and I can wait for the games to arrive.

Certain levels require having a certain number of Star Medals to be unlocked. If you don't have enough, you can just go on to the next level.
Star icons are shown for each level and world. I'm not sure about whether they're shown next to the save file, but I wouldn't be surprised.

Oh, that's a shame. I kinda expected to be at 60 since SMG 1/2 were.EatChildren said:
