Return to the roots !

Don't know why people shits so much on this game. For a portable game it does it's Job really well and it's Nintendo + Super Mario. We know the drill and we STILL know level design's gonna be super good.
The problem is that the game came after the Galaxies and it ptobably felt underwhelming for a lot of people.
3D Land tries to mix the open nature of 3D mario games and mix it with the classic progression of 2D Mario titles. there aren't ground breaking gimmicks like the flood or the spin jump. Instead you have a classic moveset with a recall to Super Mario Bros. 3 Tanooki suit. It's bread and butter Super Mario. Simple , quick and fun to replay .
The game doesn't last for too long and it flows really well at a decently fast pace.

Not the best in the series and probably the most simple , but still manages to give a really good experience overall.
