Super Mario 3D World is the Wii U follow-up game to Super Mario 3D Land and the sixth 3D platform game in the Super Mario series. According to the development team, this game is the culmination of all previous 3D Mario games, and is the first 3D Mario game to support cooperative multiplayer, a feature that was attempted since Super Mario 64.
In 2014, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, a spin-off game based upon the stages in this game, would be released.

Story
In the Mushroom Kingdom, the Mario Bros., Princess Peach and Toad come across a bent clear pipe, which Mario and Luigi immediately fix, causing a number of items to pour out of the pipe followed by one of the Sprixie Princesses. The fairy tells the group that Bowser has captured her fellow Sprixie Princesses before Bowser appears out of the pipe and captures her as well, retreating back into the pipe. The group follow him back down the pipe and are taken to the Sprixie Kingdom, which they must save by defeating Bowser and freeing the captive Sprixie Princesses.
Gameplay
Super Mario 3D World plays similarly to its predecessor. Players travel through linear yet 3D stages to reach the Goal Pole at the end within the time limit. The game supports a cooperative and competitive multiplayer system, in which up to four players can play simultaneously as either Mario, Princess Peach, Luigi, and Toad, each of whom have their own unique gameplay traits, while the multiplayer system is similar in structure to New Super Mario Bros. Wii, allowing players to enter a bubble to avoid harm, though like in New Super Mario Bros. 2 all players share the life and coin counters. Other elements from 3D Land such as its power-ups also return, though several new power-ups also appear, the primary new power-up being the Super Bell, which turns Mario into Cat Mario and allows him to climb up walls and scratch and pounce to attack.
As a throwback to previous 3D Mario games, this game features three Green Stars in each stage, which are used in a similar way to the Star Coins in the New Super Mario Bros. series, allowing players to unlock stages later on. Most stages also feature a collectible stamp, which allows them to post pre-drawn designs to Miiverse.
In every other world, the player will find stages in which player 1 controls Captain Toad in what is known as "The Adventures of Captain Toad", navigating more puzzle-oriented stages to collect all five Green Stars in the stage. In worlds where Captain Toad is not found there is instead a Mystery House, an extension of the Mystery Box concept from the previous game in which players face a series of timed challenges to collect Green Stars.
