There are a lot of Mario games for the Nintendo Switch. It’s the 35th anniversary of Mario and Nintendo has released classic Mario 3D games, a Mario Kart game with a real car and a free online Mario battle royale game. Super Mario 3D World, a port of a Wii U game that came out in 2013, is better than all of those. It’s maybe the best four-player Mario game around (besides the DIY Mario Maker game, which is more about course construction, or New Super Mario Bros U, which is a 2D Mario game). If you’re looking for another great multiplayer Switch game, this might be for you. Just, maybe, expect some chaos. I played this game way back in 2013, and loved it then. It was really the only truly great Wii U Mario game. It’s not necessarily for everyone. The game kind of meshes classic Mario platformers with newer 3D ones, elevating a view above a 3D course that you hop and bop along with a time limit on each. The quick courses, their flagpole finishes and the drama added by a ticking clock give the game a much quicker feel than the fantastic and more open-world Super Mario Odyssey. It’s like the old Super Mario 3D Land on the 3DS, but better.
