YMMV / Super Mario 3D

Go To

  • Ascended Meme: Intentional or not, the game seemed to satisfy the "Goku in Smash" (joke) requests by including not just Goku himself, but also several other characters (including side ones) from his universe.
  • Fan Nickname: In the West, people have called this game either Super Smash Bros. 3D (due to being a Smash game that allows 3D movement, duh), Super Smash Bros. Mobile (it's Super Smash Bros. for mobile phones!), or Pocket All-Star 3D (the crossover nature of this game reminds them of the infamous Pocket All-Star Smash Brothers, but in 3D).
  • Goddamned Bats: Ness. He has the tendency to block most attacks (with no clear indication except the "no damage" notification when you hit him), thus often leaving him as the last enemy type left during an enemy encounter, which impedes your stage progress and wastes your time (remember, all battles are a Timed Mission), not to mention some health loss as he's still free to land hits on your team. Thankfully he doesn't do anything else except swing his bat around as his only attack and he's rather weak like most regular Mooks, but it's still annoying.
  • Unexpected Character: Several. Most notable examples include:
    • Some Pokémon characters. Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Lucario, Charizard, and Mewtwo are a given, Squirtle and Ivysaur may seem random at first until you remember their playable role in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, while Meowth and Mew may be chosen due to their popularity despite their lesser role in the official Smash games (especially Meowth, due to the anime). But then, there are also... Dragonite? Alakazam?? What?
    • From Sonic the Hedgehog, aside from Sonic himself, we have... Tails and Eggman??? Sure those two are also major characters in that series, but seeing them playable in a massive crossover like this is still surprising.
    • From the non-video game side, we have Astro Boy, Ultraman, Doraemon, and even some characters from Rurouni Kenshin. Generally, even the Dragon Ball and Sailor Moon characters can count, down to the former's side characters being playable as well.
