Work Introdution

You can enjoy the world of Super Mario in 3D as he adventures through courses filled with various traps.
 
The 3D images provide depth and a realistic feeling for the space expanding to the rear to make it easier to tell the positions of attacking enemies or blocks flying through the air. They also provide the challenge of new traps only possible with 3D images.
 
Further, you can use street pass communication to experience new ways of playing, such as getting items from other characters and competing with them on time.
 
During an adventure you can transform into an invincible Tanuki Mario to use special items to support your adventure, such as a Super Leaf or P-Wing to fly all the way to the goal at once.
 
This is a new 3D Mario that is easy to play.

Comment of the game producer

We created this title with the desire to have many people enjoy 3D Mario.
 
Although the game has the easy-to-understand configuration of seeking the goal ball, you will have fun as 3D Mario walks around the world.
 
Since this was our first time making a 3D action game, there were many difficulties in making the adjustments, but I think we were able to complete it in a way that will allow many people to experience the merits of 3D.
 
I think this reward is the result of having so many customers enjoy this title that the development staff had so much fun creating.
 
The development staff is very grateful to have been selected for this award.
Thank you very much.
