Is Super Mario 3D World ACTUALLY Mario Galaxy 3? | The Design of 3D Mario [retro dog] 

Hey, everyone, thanks for watching. I tried to cram as much as I could in 20 minutes, but of course, I can always go deeper into this or similar subjects. If you want to see more videos like this, just let me know. You're feedback is highly appreciated.

Plot twist: The real Mario Galaxy 3 is Super Mario 3D LAND.

The true Mario Galaxy 3 was the friends we made along the way...

Rosalina in 3D World is INSANE! It blew my mind as a kid, and personally she seems pretty underrated (probably because you only unlock her at the end of the game, and her main gimmick can't be used with powerups). I would HIGHLY recommend playing through the game as Rosalina _without_ powerups. Her spin allows for a TON of really satisfying movement options (especially in the remake, where they increased movement speed and added the dive, ground pound jump, and spin jump from odyssey).

The title is crazy

Well, shouldn’t it be galaxy 4,considering 3D land exsists?

i always thought of 3D land as a pocket galaxy game! now makes a lot of sense! 😅

Maybe the real mario galaxy 3 are the friends we made along the way

As a kid I always called those ruby rock things "Poop-Covered Cherries." So... Uh... Yeah. Make of that what you will.

I think any possible cool thing that Nintendo could put into Mario Galaxy 3 could be put into any other 3D Mario game as well, so I think it's pointless to ask for a Mario Galaxy 3, I just want a new 3D Mario as good as possible and I don't care about its title. Even Mario Odyssey has some linear stuff challenges here and there

The lore of 3d world is so fun 3D Land takes from Galaxy, Mario 3, and hints of Mario 64 3D World takes from 3D Land(there is literally a special world thats based on this gane with the overworld theme), Galaxy(all cause of Rosalina and the special worlds), hints of Mario 3, and hints of Mario 64 If you really pay attention to 3D Land some of the ost is literally a replica from Galaxy or Mario 3, while 3D world has a lot more unique tracks but most came from Galaxy and 3D Land

I strongly disagree with your framing of 3D Land and World as sterilised and less special than other 3D Mario games. A focused platforming experience is not inherently inferior or more "corporate" compared to Galaxy's more spectacle and story-focused approach. Personally I found a lot of those aspects of Galaxy superfluous and they hurt the platforming experience. I don't want to read the backstory of a side character that doesn't impact the gameplay at all, and I especially don't want control taken away from me so I can be forced into a cutscene of Mario flying through space multiple times per level. For me 3D Land and World just trimmed the fat off the Galaxy games and are easily the better experiences as a result. 3D World's level design and controls are fantastic and its presentation, while less epic than Galaxy's, clearly still had a lot of effort and soul put into it. To describe the game as just "Mario but cat" is like saying Mario 3 is just "Mario but racoon". Basically, I'm really glad 3D World isn't Galaxy 3. Otherwise, great video, editing and audiowise etc.

honestly i prefer galaxy 1s mixture of both open linear fusion rather than galaxy 2s more linear design

this is an awesome video. keep up this quality content and you'll become a big channel.

The only hope we have left is galaxy 3 for the nintendo switch 2

For me what makes a Mario Galaxy game fun are the planetoids and gravity base gameplay

welp.. guess i gotta play 3D World again😅

I was thinking about this idea on my most recent playthrough, especially with rosalina being playable.

I thought I was the only who thought this

Ok 3D World is great but it's a different genre than the Galaxy games. Very similar in concept. And god if it were a non-linear 3D platformer on top of all it had, it would be and transcend the title of Galaxy 3.

14:50 a lot of the art assets and engine in 3D Land are reused from Galaxy 2

Eyyy, cool video, also great editing as usual...

I honestly think that Super Mario Odyssey is more similar to Super Mario 3D World.

Ive 100%ed every 3d mario. My two favorites are the galaxy games, then 3d land, then 64, then 3d world, then sunshine. For 100% runs, sunshine is so tedious; i only play mario games all the way through though. A casual run of sunshine would probably be more fun, skipping the blue coins and terrible secret levels. But yea 3d Land to me feels like the adopted brother of the galaxy games; not entirely a sequel but still heavily inspired by them. 3d World was definitely fun but honestly i felt like it was less fun than 3d Land. I had it on wii u and again on switch, it’s definitely still a fantastic platformer but not my mario of choice. Also ive only ever beaten mario 64 ds, never the 120 star 64 version

cool

can’t let gang know i fw ts

3D Land is Mario galaxy 3. 3D world is galaxy 4

honestly i feel like odyssey makes more sense as the spiritual successor to the galaxy series

if SM3DW is galaxy 3, SMO is galaxy 4

jk great vid
