The light competition gives players impetus to move just a bit quicker than their cohorts. Needless to say, the franticness of multiplayer was exponentially increased when everyone was dishing out dashing combo attacks and scrambling up every wall they saw.Įverything, from level design to core gameplay, seemed tailored to make the game a much faster-paced affair than 3D Land. In feline form, players can climb flat surfaces and perform (surprisingly visceral) claw attacks on walking or aerial enemies. Four cats, if you've got the players, and can collect enough of the bell-shaped power-ups to transform them. Another neat, simple perk of playing co-op is when you pick up a Super Star, you can share your invulnerability with another player just by running up and touching them. Your team shares an inventory of reserve items, which you can access on the fly when you're in desperate need of a power-up.

The aforementioned player-tossing can be used to reach new heights and unaccessible hidden items, much like the New Super Mario series on Wii and Wii U.

The biggest difference is that four players, controlling the classic Super Mario Bros. It has the same shiny, bouncy veneer of 3D Land, thanks to Nintendo EAD's involvement on this new title. Super Mario 3D World for Wii U mimics, both in controls and aesthetics, Nintendo EAD's Super Mario 3D Land for the Nintendo 3DS, with diorama-esque worlds filled with coins, power-ups, obstacles and hidden objects.
