Super Mario 3D Land (スーパーマリオ3Dランド Sūpā Mario Surī Dī Rando?) is a platform game in the Super Mario series developed by Nintendo EAD Tokyo, with development assistance from Brownie Brown, for the Nintendo 3DS. The game was the first in the series to be released for the system and was released worldwide in November 2011. It was revealed at Nintendo's Keynote Conference during the 2011 Game Developers Conference held in San Francisco. A sequel, titled Super Mario 3D World, was released for the Wii U in 2013.
Super Mario 3D Land and its sequel are unique from other games in the Mario series, as they combine elements from both traditional 2D Mario side-scrolling games and modern free-roaming 3D Mario games. It also introduces elements into the series, including power-ups and gameplay mechanics. The main story is similar to previous Super Mario titles, centering on Mario's efforts to rescue Princess Peach, who has been kidnapped by Bowser.
The game was released to critical acclaim, with gaming critics praising the amount of creativity and technical design presented within the game, though the utilization of 3D in the gameplay was met with a more polarizing reception. The game was a commercial success, and has sold 11.17 million copies worldwide as of December 31, 2016, making it the fourth best-selling game for the 3DS. It was also the first 3DS game to sell over 5 million copies.
