New Super Mario Bros. 3 is a 2D-platforming video game that is published and developed by Acetendo in partnership with Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch. It is the fifth installment in the New Super Mario Bros. series and the second to be released for the Nintendo Switch (with the first being New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe).
The game shares the same formula that the previous installments in the New Super Mario Bros. series have, but it also adds in some new features like the departure from the traditional eight-world structure, online functionality, and Amiibo compatibility, along with new levels and power-ups that mainly include the Lightning Flower, the Phoenix Suit, and the Super Banana.
==Plot ==
=== Prologue===
One peaceful day, Mario and Luigi have returned to the Mushroom Kingdom after taking a well-deserved vacation at Yoshi's Island. They walked around the grassy plains of the kingdom until they saw a Toad who gives Mario a letter that reads:
After reading the letter, Mario shows the letter to Luigi and follows him to the castle, in which they meet Toad and Toadette along the way. When Mario and his friends arrive at the castle, he reunites with Princess Peach and they follow her to the castle balcony so that they can relax and celebrate in the party while she is finishing up with her cake. After the cake is done, Peach puts it in a platter and hands it to the heroes before she opens it, which leaves them star-eyed and surprised.
As Mario prepares to enjoy the cake that Peach has finally decided to give to him, he suddenly hears a loud boom by the castle balcony and runs down to investigate while the other three follow him. He discovers that Bowser and his minions have attacked the Mushroom Kingdom because he is not invited to the party, in which they took revenge by kidnapping Peach once again and stole the Star Gems from the castle so that they can rule the entire world. Bowser laughs as he sends his children to the castles of the different areas in the Mushroom Kingdom and drives his airship back to his lair, in which the heroes go on their newest adventure to save the Star Gems and rescue Peach from Bowser's clutches once and for all.
===Epilogue===
== Gameplay==
New Super Mario Bros. 3 is a platforming game that plays very similarly to the previous New Super Mario Bros. games, especially New Super Mario Bros. Wii and New Super Mario Bros. U by bringing back the four-player multiplayer that functions identically to these past installments. Many of the gameplay elements that include the Super Guide (which is activated if the player loses eight lives in a level (five in Easy Mode) and has the "Super Guide Block" option on), Enemy Courses (which require the players to defeat all enemies like in New Super Mario Bros. U), and the bubble mechanic.
A new feature that is added to the game is that the player is now able to scan Amiibo figures in the main game, as he or she can receive a specific power-up or item that is associated with the scanned figure as long as it is compatible (which primarily includes various Amiibo figures that are found in the Super Mario or Super Smash Bros. series to certain characters like Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and Bowser, no matter if they are reskinned or not.)
New Super Mario Bros. 3 is the first installment in the New Super Mario Bros. series to feature online functionality, which primarily includes leaderboards that list the highest scores in the minigames and battles that can be accessed in Versus Mode. The main feature that the game has in online functionality is a fully-dedicated online multiplayer mode, which allows up to four players locally or globally to play out the levels in the main game and challenge each other in the two aforementioned modes.
A feature that appears in the map is the Toad Houses, which come in four different types. The red and green Toad Houses allow the player to play a minigame of Power-Up Panels and 1-Up Blast to earn extra items and lives respectively, while the yellow Toad Houses serve as shops that allow the player to buy and sell items and the blue Toad Houses feature unique challenges that act like Challenge Mode in New Super Mario Bros. U. The game also features a fifth Toad House that can be accessed after the player clears a level when the last two digits of the time match and is colored purple, as it features a bonus shop that always disappears after a single use.
At default, New Super Mario Bros. 3 features two difficulty modes: Normal Mode (which is the standard difficulty and activates Super Guide after eight lives in a level) and Easy Mode (which includes lessened item prices and activates Super Guide after five lives in a level). After the player fully completes the main game in Normal Mode, Hard Mode will be unlocked (which includes power-ups that cost twice as much than in Normal Mode, five hits to the bosses as opposed to three, and less time to complete levels) and allows the player to view the secret ending and visit the Toad Houses at any time after Hard Mode is completed.
==Game Modes==
New Super Mario Bros. 3 features four game modes that include the following:
*Adventure Mode (Play by yourself or with up to four players on an adventure to save the Star Gems and rescue Peach from Bowser's clutches.)
* Online Mode (Connect online and play with up to three other players locally or globally to help you out in the adventure or compete each other in the battles.)
*Versus Mode (Fight with up to three other players or CPUs in a wide variety of versus types locally or globally and compete in the online tournaments.)
**Standard - A standard versus type that allows the players to use items and strategies to make the opponents lose a set number of hitpoints and lives.
**Deathmatch - Same as Standard except that each player only has one hitpoint and one life without possible way to get any extra hitpoints or lives.
** Coin Collectors - A versus type that allows the players to collect as many coins as possible and use items to make the opponents lose coins before the time runs out.
**Star Stingers - A versus type that allows the players to collect a certain number of Stars or as many Stars as possible before the time runs out.
**Moon Thief - A versus type that has a player holding onto the Power Moon as long as possible while the opponents attack the player with items.
*Minigame Mode (Play out the minigames by yourself or with up to three other players and challenge with other players locally or globally to achieve the highest score.)
==Characters ==
===Playable Characters===
Character	Description 	Abilities
Mario 	Mario is the main hero of the Mushroom Kingdom and is sent on his newest adventure with his friends to save the Star Gems from the different areas and Peach from the evil Bowser's clutches. 	Mario has balanced stats and can use the Star Spin, which is done by pressing L and R while he is mid-air.
Luigi 	Luigi is the younger and taller brother of Mario who often helps his older brother in his adventure to save the Star Gems and Peach and is primarily known for his high jumps and fear of ghosts. 	Luigi has a higher jump height than Mario and can perform his scuttle, but he has less traction than Mario.
Toad 	Toad is a certain member of the Toad species that is known as Peach's personal servant and constant companion, as well as a great ally and friend of both Mario and Luigi in their adventures. 	Toad can run faster than any other character in the game, but he cannot jump as high as the others.
Toadette	Toadette is a female Toad who is good friends with Peach, Mario, and Luigi, as well as the younger sister of Toad who joins him and the rest of the heroes in their newest adventure together. 	Toadette has the same jump height and speed as Mario, but she is less slippery than any other character.
Wario 	Wario is the arch-nemesis of Mario and partners-in-crime with Waluigi, in which he knows the vast discoveries of the hidden treasure and is unlockable by collecting all Star Coins in the regular worlds. 	Wario can defeat stronger enemies with his ground pound at the cost of his speed and jump height.
Waluigi 	Waluigi is the arch-nemesis of Luigi and partners-in-crime with Wario, in which he joins into the adventure to find the hidden treasure and is unlockable by collecting all Star Coins in the special worlds.	Waluigi can perform a double-jump boost by pressing A while he is mid-air at the cost of his slipperiness.
===Supporting Characters===
Character	Description
Princess Peach	Princess Peach is the kind-hearted princess of the Mushroom Kingdom who mainly looks after the Star Gems that maintain peace to the kingdom and has been kidnapped by the evil Bowser. After the player completes a world, she sends a letter to Mario and his friends via a Toad that helps the player later in the adventure while she is held captive in the castle of the final world.
Yoshi 	Yoshi is a dinosaur-like character who is an ally of Mario and his friends and acts as a rideable character for them, as he can eat various berries and enemies in certain courses and can flutter kick if the player holds A while he is mid-air. There are Green, Yellow, Pink, and Light-Blue Yoshis that can be used by the playable characters, with the green one being used for the first player.
Plessie 	Plessie is a large and friendly plesiosaur-like creature that allows Mario and his friends to ride on his back to cross large bodies of water or poison through certain courses or sections in a similar manner to Dorrie, as the players must avoid any falling enemies that can possibly land on him and can ground-pound on him to move faster through the water.
Rosalina	Rosalina is a powerful figure that usually watches over and protects the cosmos while also serving as the adopted mother of the Lumas and commanding the Comet Observatory. In the game, she serves as the host of Super Guide by helping the players finish a course that they may be unable to complete and creates the Launch Star that takes Mario and his friends to the last two worlds since they take place in outer space.
Baby Yoshis	Baby Yoshis are newborn Yoshis that are born from the Yoshi Eggs and eat the enemies that make contact with, but they do not grow into their adult forms like in New Super Mario Bros. U. There are five different colored Baby Yoshis that are found in the game: Green (which do not have a special ability), Blue (which blow bubbles that can trap enemies), Magenta (which inflate like a balloon for vertical movement), Yellow (which glow in dark areas and stun enemies), and Red (which breath fireballs to defeat enemies).
Toads 	The Toads are mushroom-like humanoid characters that live in the Mushroom Kingdom and work as loyal servants of the kingdom's ruler Princess Peach. In the game, many Toads usually help Mario and his friends on the adventure and run the Toad Houses on the map while some are held captive in the enemy courses, which has the player defeating all of the enemies and freeing them from the treasure chests as soon as they appear.
Nabbit 	Nabbit is a purple rabbit thief who usually steals items from the Toad Houses and hides them inside his bag, as he can be found in certain courses of the map and challenges Mario and his friends to chase him like in New Super Mario Bros. U. After the player successfully catches him in a course, a Toad happily comes to Mario and his friends and rewards them with a random item.
