History VideoGame / SuperMario3DWorld

* CoOpMultiplayer: Notably the first time it's fully implemented, especially after it was attempted at the VaporWare direct sequel to SuperMario64.

* Motif: The Slide theme from Super Mario 64 is present
** The lose a life theme from Super Mario Bros 3 is present when you lose a life.

* TheBusCameBack: [[VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld Chargin' Chucks and the round Goombas]] return for ''3D World''

** '''Luigi''': JackOfAllStats[=/=]DifficultButAwesome: Unlike the NewSuperMarioBros series, Luigi retains his [[SuperMarioBrosTheLostLevels higher jump and slow falling speed, as well as his lower traction]]. However, in comparison to 3D Land and the Galaxy games, he has been made as fast as Mario in this game.

* DivergentCharacterEvolution: Unlike the ''NewSuperMarioBros'' installments with multiplayer throughout the adventure, everyone in this game has their own unique abilities. Peach is the slowest and can float, Mario and Luigi are the same speed but Luigi jumps higher and falls slower, while Toad's the fastest but also falls the fastest.

''Super Mario 3D World'' is a 3D [[SuperMarioBros Mario platformer]] that will come out in December 2013 for WiiU.

Like ''VideoGame/SuperMario3DLand'' before it, it is a 3D Mario that plays like a 2D Mario. Additionally, just like ''VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBrosWii'', multiplayer is introduced into the series. Mario and Co. can also obtain a new cat suit power-up enabling them to scratch enemies and climb up walls.
