Super Mario 3D Land all up in this piece

Having spent quite a few hours with Super Mario 3D Land (I’m now making my way through the second half of the game), I considered typing up a Tiny Review for the title, but there’s really no point since Eurogamer’s Christian Donlan and our own JC Fletcher have already hit all the points, left no Star Medal uncollected, and Gold Flagged everything as far as reviews go.

Instead, as the game releases today, I’ll just make this statement: Super Mario 3D Land is the best original Super Mario Bros. game on a handheld in more than 15 years.

Have you picked it up yet? What do you think about it so far? What are your favorite details and stages, or what parts do you think are butt?
