#37 - Super Mario 3D Land was a big surprise, in a positive way. It takes a lot of the good stuff from the big 3D console games and puts it a nice handheld format. Perfect for short bursts of intense and fun gameplay. The story is of course nothing special, we all know by now how it goes and how it ends. The game does however give players plenty of challenge to complete this adventure. The stages can be pretty tough at times, but with a little strategy and by excelling in some levels, one can skip others if necessary. Though I completed all the game's levels, I found myself re-playing level 1-1 many times just because of the easy ways to obtain the awesome Tanooki-suit, so I could have an advantage in some other difficult level. The game really does it's name justice, the 3D effect is tremendous. It really shows how this could be used to really enrich the gameplay experience. A great entry in the 3D Mario series and it's no less that it's console brothers; I hope it gets a sequel on the 3DS!

#36 - ?
The first game for a character that had every suggestion of being a mascot for the system (or for the other systems it went to afterwards), or at least part of the 'mascot-family', but wasn't really.
