Ordered the new mario 3D world from Amazon for release day - what a surprise it hasn’t turned up. Never pre ordering from them again. Disappointing. Don’t understand why they don’t ship out a day earlier.
I think it's luck of the draw with Amazon. When I ordered Burning Crusade and The Lich King (World of Warcraft expansions), they both arrived 1 day late. My copy of Super Mario 3D World did arrive on launch day though (12th).
Maybe you’re to old for mario games ?
my 7 year old loves it
I'm 43 this year and I'm rocking Mario Galaxy and 3D World
Strangely though, I've never liked the classic Mario "2D" platformers. Don't do it for me at all. But that's just me.
I like the 2D Marios, but like you said, I prefer the 3D Marios. Weird really because with Sonic the Hedgehog, it's the other way round for me - the 2D Sonics better than the 3D Sonics imo.
Back to Super Mario 3D World - I'm a first-timer here and I'm loving it. The artwork is great and there is plenty of variety in the levels. The biggest fun element is that I'm finding numerous secrets in the game, which are the green stars. Quite often, I tend to find the 1st and 3rd green star in any given level but I miss out the 2nd one. I'm also finding secrets on the world maps too. You can play as Mario, Peach, Luigi etc and Rosalina becomes playable too when you have reached a certain level but not sure which one it is. I'm now on day 5 and already part way through World 5. No idea how much left of the game there is. Also, the power-ups are awesome! You have different sizes of your character and that basically tells you how many hits you can take before you lose a life. You have different suits as well, the cat suit being the one you'll see the most. There is also a brown suit which I think is a raccoon, and then a white suit which I think is a bear? The white one seems to be an invincible mode (without a time limit) but you can still fall off ledges which I have a nasty knack of doing!
