Super Mario 3D Land is how I thought the Mario game from the future would be like when I was playing Super Mario World in the early 90s.

3D Land doesn't offer the level of freedom that other 3D Mario games like 64 and Sunshine do, but it provides just enough 3D movement set in linear levels to create a unique experience hence why this game is to me, the natural progression of Mario games from 2D to 3D.

Level variety is great with different themes, colorful locations, and design that offers both vertical and horizontal configuration of levels.

I didn't think it was possible to relive childhood experiences, but 3D Land was able to convey emotions that I experienced playing masterpieces like Super Mario World and that alone makes this game something very special in my collection.
