| Pavolink said: It's SMB3 in a 3D space. An before you tell me otherwise, yes, I have played both games a lot. 3D World is their approach to gain userbase for the "3D" games putting a lot of elements of the 2D series. |
Play them again then, 3DW takes elements from the whole franchise, 3DW's approach is to bring all the elements together hence the variety in the levels from racing, puzzle solving, shoot em ups to traditional platforming.
In the previous games levels were becoming missions just to get stars, were as the 2D games had levels with each different concepts to get through, 3DW took elements from both to create a new approach.
