Super Mario 3D World

Super Mario 3D World is a platform game developed and published by Nintendo for the Wii U in 2013. It is the sixth original 3D platform game in the Super Mario series and the sequel to Super Mario 3D Land (2011) for the Nintendo 3DS. The game follows Mario and friends attempting to rescue fairy-like creatures called Sprixies from Bowser, who invades the realm known as the Sprixie Kingdom. The gameplay is similar to previous installments of the series, with players passing through individual levels to reach Bowser. The game features a character selector as well as introducing a power-up called the Super Bell, which turns the player into a cat, enabling them to climb walls and use a scratch attack. An enhanced port with additional content, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, was released for the Nintendo Switch on February 12, 2021.
Super Mario 3D World was acclaimed for its level design, presentation, replay value, and soundtrack, though some reviewers decried its unreliable camera in the multiplayer mode. The game was a financial success, with the Wii U version selling 5.87 million units worldwide as of September 2020 and becoming the second best-selling game for the console. As of June 2021, the Switch version had sold 6.68 million units worldwide. Between both versions, a total of 12.55 million units have been sold worldwide.
