The way Mario uses a propeller block in the 3D Land trailer certainly makes it look like a 3D version of a platformer. Neat stuff.
Pages Needing ImagesThat propeller block in 3D Land is from New Super Mario Bros Wii. I guess that means 3D Land will combine elements from all 2D games, and that includes the New Super Mario Bros series.
On an unrelated note, I think Super Mario World had the best World Map ever. I wish a newer Mario game would have a World Map with that level of secrets and alternate paths.

Oh yeah. Moving freely through worlds and going back to levels. The only weakness was you couldn't go back into fortresses.
I liked how you could get to Bowser in just 12 stages.

Hahah! There's usually ways to skip through many many levels in in a 2D Mario game if you really want to though.
Also, anyone hoping that we'll see an RPG Story Mode in Mario Tennis for 3DS? And that there will be a Mario Golf for 3DS too? =D
Fantastic Supreme Überkaiser Emperor Folt of The Infinity and Beyond" ... "The First"!The RPG Story modes were my favorite part of Mario Golf, GBC and GBA. It'd be cool if Mario Tennis had it too, but I never could get the hang of Mario Tennis.
Taking a break from FE1, for the FE8 draft insteadMeh, I never cared for the RPG Story Mode, to be honest. It's like, I want to play as Mario and his chums, not some nobodies I couldn't care less about.
Experience has taught me to investigate anything that glows.
Hahah, I'm sure there are many more who do. I'd want an RPG starring Luigi for sure.
But in the Mario sports games I'm happy with playing as an OC. Most of the plot is about getting good enough to beat Mario & CO after all, and the OC opponents are fine.

XD Me too.
Luigi in that comic totally had a chance for Samus, but he blew it.
EDIT: Also, Luigi would totally be a Magic Knight in an RPG considering how many Elemental Powers he has used throughout the years. He'd lean heavily towards the physical side though.

@ Waxing Name: I never said you didn't like the 2D Mario games. I'm just saying that you sounded like a friend of mine who do.
And I do kinda hope that the 7 item is a character's special item.
