In Lucas's mind, 3DLand and 3DWorld are not 3D Mario games so 3D Mario games disappeared from 7 years according to him. It doesn't make any sense but there you have it.

3D Land was great as a mobile game. Short but fun levels. The perfect mobile Mario 3D game.

But for the first Mario game for a console, and ESPECIALLY the first HD Mario ever, people were rightfully expecting more. I remember the first trailer and I remember bursting out laughing when I saw it. I felt I was being pranked. I was embarrassed for Nintendo and knew right away it would flop. The first 3D Mario should SELL the system, not turn people off it.

If Mario 3D World was released AFTER something like a Galaxy or Odyssey-style game, the reception would have been better.

The first trailer for 3D world was awful. The whole reveal of that game was botched. I remember them asking "So what's new?" and then asnwering "There's clear pipes now". It was very underwhelming.

The second trailer more than made up for it though and the actual game was tremendous and that's all that counts in the end.
