9:14 "It does feel watered down" *shows a water level* Here, have my like

I never understood how PETA interpreted the Tanooki suit as a dead raccoon's pelt. What raccoon is perfectly human-sized so that someone could conceivably fashion a fursuit from its pelt? Did the idea that it was a costume made from fake fur just not occur to them?

I know it's small but I chuckled at the slight laugh when you tossed those games behind you. It's little things like that that make me enjoy just how genuine these reviews are hahaha

"Game. Good." -Nitro Rad 2018, everybody

Despite what some fans say, I think this is a fantastic game!

There is also a secondary long jump called the rolling long jump that's performed by pressing jump during the roll maneuver, which gives you way more distance than a standard long jump and is great for speed running stages.

It always bugged me that the Tanooki, at least until late-game, didn't let you turn into a statue in 3D Land. That was the main reason to use it in Super Mario Bros. 3. Why bring back that unique power-up and not include its most iconic ability throughout the majority of the game?

"It's been about 6 years since I last played this" what the fuck this game is over 6 years old

"Let's boot it up and see if game... good..." 1 minute earlier: "Wouldn't be very good at my job if I cheaped out on you guys." This is the professionalism I subscribe for.

14:51 I believe, again with SMB3, if you find a warp whistle, it sounds like the flute from Zelda 1

L e t s s e e i f g a m e g o o d .

NitroRad is slowly becoming one of my favorite youtubers.

The Zelda reference was in Mario 3 (1988) , when you play the flute, it's the exact same tune from the flute in first Zelda (1986)

If you roll before you long jump, you jump a good bit further

I'm terrified for the next review. I adore 3D World, but as of late it seems like everyone hates it. I really don't get it.

You need and deserve more subscribers. Someone needs to promote you like they did with ‘Scott the Woz’. That guy gained about 60,000 subs within a couple of months. You have far more content which I’ve spent he last couple of weeks binging, 99% of it being top tier quality. Carry on the excellent work my friend, hope you read this. Dan

I associate this game with my senior year of high school and my freshman year of college. Thanks for the nostalgia. Oh and the circle of boos is a returning enemy from Super Mario World, the circling boo buddies from Super Mario World's ghost houses.

3D Land isn't my favorite Mario game, but if I pick up 3D Land, I usually play through it from beginning to end as fast as I can, usually in one sitting. I actually really enjoyed how the game tracked the fastest time you beat a level in. Finding all the cool ways to cut corners off my time occupied at least one or two of my high school years.

Am i the only one that screencapped BoomBoom on the toilet?

It's nice to see that, since youtube is your job now, the blank between every videos is shorter and your work has improved too. ^^

Also a tip in case you didn't know, but hold Start and Select while booting up DS games on your 3DS and they'll be displayed in their original resolution. By default, they're stretched out and quite blurry, and it's especially noticeable in this video on a big PC screen. It'd make them look a lot crisper, but you'd have to crop out the black areas of course.

It feels like every review is just a layer to reach the Odyssey cake. I am so excited for that review you don't even know

6:48 You say of course 3 times to represent how the game has 3D. I am on to you Nitro Rad!

EVERYTHING PETA does is in poor taste. It's poor taste to even acknowledge them at this point honestly

This game was my childhood and I loved it to death, this made me want to go back. So thanks Nitro!

I'm definitely psyched for the 3D World review. It seems you have a lot to say about the game, sure, but it's still my favorite Main Series Mario game honestly.

As much as I love Super Mario 64 DS & Super Mario Land 2, 3D Land is my favorite handheld Mario game. It's a perfectly simple pick up & play game on the go and the best blend of 3D and 2D Mario. It's only major flaw is, like you said, it lacks innovation or at least something to make it stand out. I wished 3D Land or 3D World used assets and characters from Super Mario Land 1 and 2. You know, Sarasaland, Daisy, Tatanga, the weird yet fun stages & bosses from those games. That would've helped making 3D Land more memorable but I guess they were too worried on making it more similar to Super Mario Bros 3 instead of being a follow-up to the Mario Land games.

This is actually the first game i 100%ed btw

2:40 I love how real that was.

Man, I remember to have this game, I used to play it all the time, it’s so nostalgic to see this game again

This was a game I 100% and stayed up all night playing on my 3DS. Special world 8 music will always be part of my memory.

9:15 "Watered Down". The footage is of a water level. Was that intended?

Your videos are so enjoyable to watch, they feel... comfy. Also what a nice review, it lets me decide whether I want to play it or not, I think I'll get it anyway, since I miss the Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 mechanics and OST and I can't play Nintendo home consoles for now

I actually played 3D Land again today, and I still love this game. Compared to 3D World (since it's quite the same Mario series) I think 3D Land is much better. The levels felt really creative and balanced out over the game. The fact that it was like a 2D Mario in a 3D environment didn't bother me, it felt good this way. Maybe because I already expected it wouldn't be as the Galaxy series for example. The game isn't challenging though, but there are some okay challenges post-game. Bowser battles are quite amazing, and I love what they did with the final boss. This is the perfect example of an 'escape Bowser instead of fighting him' concept which is actually very good. And I still think the graphics for a 3D portable Mario game are nice and still holds up today. Yup, I love 3D Land lol

I know this comment is a little late but, you’ve got to be one of the only types of these type of youtubers were I can sit down and listen to with genuinely good opinions and interesting yet fair arguments, keep it up!

I really liked this game honestly, for level speed running. with streetpass, completing a level let's you see who's the fasted of the people you have passed. It became somewhat of an addiction to get first place on each stage, Which is where long jumping comes in handy.

Yoo. Trace Memory. I found that for like $3 at a store here and keep meaning to play it.

I really Like how they brought Back yoichi kotabes drawings in the cutscenes

This is my first video I’ve seen on your channel and I’m definitely gonna watch more! This a great review and you’re funny!

It’s definitely just nostalgia talking, but this game is really underrated imo. I used to play it so much years back, and was one of my favourite games

“So let’s boot it up and see if game...good”. -Nitro Rad, 2018

You're gonna love 3D World man. Your favorite enemies return!

thank you for the commitment to quality in your videos :D

I don't know if you get commented on this a lot, but you have pretty good video editing skills. Like when you talk about movements and jump options you actually showcase situations where those things become necessary. You manage to show everything you want to explain and that's pretty cool

Funny thing about this game as I would have never played if it wasn't for the fact that I found a copy one day in the parking lot of my local mall

That immediate look of concern when he throws the other 3DS games and hears them hit the ground or whatever else. Just screams "don't think about it too much, just finish the take and check on them in a minute"

I still play this game to this very day! And I completed this game about 100 times over time since Nintendo released this back in 2010- ish!

Always had a lot of fun with this game. I agree that it's not the most memorable experience but a polished and enjoyable one end to end. I always loved how much end game content there was it felt like another game in itself. Thanks for the upload NitroRad!

The special worlds of this game was definitely my favorite part of it. I just found the game okay when I played the regular worlds, but the special worlds are more challenging, and it made the game more fun to me. It's not as amazing as the Super Mario Galaxy games of course, but it's still fun.

I can't wait for Super Mario 3D World

Gotta say 3d land and world are underrated comparing the 3d games made they're just fun to pick up and play. I could just restart and just enjoy it

I know it's gonna be a REAL good day when I see a new Nitro Rad video in my sub box. Great vid, like always!

Looking forward to your reviews after this Mario Marathon, but damn I remember getting 3D Land last year and playing it almost nonstop. Beat the first run in about 3 sessions, each lasting about 1 to 3 hours. Pretty fun, but I don't know if I'd want to go and 100% it.

I grew up with this game but nobody gives this game any love anymore

This came out when I was in the first grade, and was my first exposure to playing my own video games and my first game system....

Somehow stumbled across your channel and it's great. You deserve more subs

My favourite portable mario game.

3d World is next, eh? Hoo boy, that's gonna be a good one!

Feels good to be watching you're videos again bro.

Super Mario 3D land was, from the start, supposed to bring 2D Mario mechanics into 3D Mario gameplay, even the trailers were themed around it. Still, I really liked it. Great review as always, Nitro!

Wow really good review dude ! I remembered playing this game when I was at High school. Honnestly it didn't really affect me. It was fun but nothing mindblowing. In my opinion this game is too wise, they didn't implement any really good new ideas, it's just a bunch of gameplay ideas from previous episodes mixed together. By the way, I follow your channel for quite a while now, and I really love your work. You made me discover a whole lot of games such as the Lisa serie, whiplash, yumme nikki and many other. Moreover your reviews are comprehensive and really well constructed. I mean you clearly explain why you like or dislike a game by explaining the gameplay mechanics and the level design, and why in your opinion it's good or bad. It's nice to see someone giving his own feel on a game even if it is opposed to the general opinion. Keep the good stuff ! Oh also it would be awesome to see you work on a video in collaboration with Caddicarus. You both propose very high quality reviews on the internet and having your two opinions on a game would be awesome. Also i'm sure it would help you grab some new subscribers. I talked to my friends about how good your channel is to help your channel but doing collaboration with famous youtubers could be way more effective. Greetings from France

You deserve WAY more subscribers

Amazing video, it was really nice to hear someone else's opinion of this game. It was in depth and straight forward, Can't wait to see the 3D World review!

Tbh I love this game entirely because it combines my three favorite Mario games of all time into one hand held title. It's purely built for me and I get that.

6:49 Take a Shot every time he says "And Of Course."

Gosh. I was playing a good set of 3DS titles before they were Nintendo selects.

I didn't think that you'd cover this one. Great review!

Let’s be serious, 64 DS was awesome!!! It didn’t have that many missions where you had to use precise controls to get somewhere Nitro. Except for getting inside the volcano and walking across the bridge over Windswept Valley in Tiny Huge Island and walking across the bridge to get into Wiggler’s cave in Tiny Huge Island. That’s it!!

Jesus christ your shirt is amazing

Super Mario 3D land was actually my first Mario game. You see, I avoided it because everyone was all about that Xbox and Sony and that kinda spread on me, so I avoided Nintendo for a while. I was like 12 when it came out, and after years of disliking it, I started to wonder: Why is Nintendo bad? Why does everyone prefer Xbox or Sony? So that Christmas, I decided to get a Blue Nintendo 3DS with Super Mario 3D land as my first game. This was a huge risk because I never touched Nintendo before and no one in my grade(as far as I know) tried it, so I got it. And let me tell you: I had a BLAST. I played that game nonstop, and the entire experience jut blew my mind! After that my Xbox started collecting dust as I tried out more Nintendo games like Pokemon and had some of the best gaming experiences I have ever had! This game kinda is the reason why I am a Nintendo fan at all. It introduced me to, Nintendo! Mario Kart 7, Pokemon ultra moon, Pokemon Y, Legends of Zelda: orcarina of time(3DS version), all some of my favorite video games of all time! While I never got the Wii, Wii U, Nintendo Switch, for reasons, I will always love my 3DS and Nintendo overall, because of this game! Even watching let's plays of games like Super Mario Maker or Pikmin 3 were way more fun then playing Xbox games! Yeah, people made fun of me, but I didn't care! I kept on playing Nintendo games on the 3DS and watching gameplays of ones I couldn't play. And since the Wii U is way cheaper then before(I saw on at $120!), I hope I can experience the games I missed out on the first time! I am talking Kirby return to dreamland, Super mario galaxy, Mario kart 8, all of it. Thanks to this game I love Nintendo as much as I do, and while I do agree with the flaws of this game, I will always be grateful to this game!

I love how he chuckles after throwing his games behind him as if he’s saying “oh shit I might’ve damaged those”

You pretty much summed up my thoughts exactly! I wanted some secrets to be certain-power-up-accessible like old Mario games, and as soon as I found out I had to go back through as Luigi to get that cool endgame level, I shelved it. Completely agree with you on the soundtrack sounding a bit underwhelming too. I gotta share you around, you deserve way more subs 👍 Also I had a huge grin right when I saw that clip from the Super Mario Land 2 commercial. If you have any plans to review that in the future, hoooooooooooooo buddy

I really wish Nitro reviews Pokémon Uranium in the future.

"Let's see if game... good..." XD

I just want to say your camera quality is AMAZING great video btw.

In an interview with Shigeru Miyamoto, it was said that they opted for the full Tanuki suit rather than just the ears so that it would be easier to see his transformation.

Saludos desde México, muy buenos vídeos.

Nostalgia

I remember getting a 2DS and Super Mario 3D Land with it and I was busy for EVER. I have that game completed. It was a fun time of my childhood!

Keep up the great work man. Love the vids.

What's your thoughts on first person in The Evil Within 2?

13:17 cappy beta edition

I honestly never liked how you can't be happy with super Mario 3d land, but yet you LOVE super Mario 3d World!

I got here quick lol. Happy you're reviewing this game, nobody really wants to talk about it outside of shitting on it in comparison to 3D world.

Were that Mario odyessy review

I really want to get a 3DS capture card someday, but it's not very likely however...

When you see Nitro's heart break throwing those DS games at the beginning.

Always beautiful to see a new vid when I wake up from the radest man.

PETA often makes games im poor taste.

It’s a 7/10 for me. While the level design was admittedly tight and the game was pretty fun, everything else was just...bland. The music is easily the weakest in the series, the worlds are generic, the game barely does anything interesting, and Mario’s controls are boring. Although I will admit, the after content in this game is pretty great. I know it consisted of rehashed levels, but the challenge from them was pretty admirable. Same thing with the final stage. I, personally think 3d world was a step up from this game.

Awesome video. Very well made! Subscribed!

This game was awesome for an 8 hour road trip.

This was the start of a dark age for Mario games, honestly. Following the Mario Bible to a T (Generic worlds, enemies, story and all that) and being a very boring game until the later half where it doesn't even feel that fun. The stupid padding with the flagpoles was what killed it for me. 3D World felt like a better game overall but both games are awful as 3D Mario games and I honestly don't even count the two as 3D Mario games. They feel like 2D games in a "What if 64 didn't exist" scenario, and thus play like a major, generic step back. It was really awful being a Wii U owner and having this as the second 2D Mario game while a true 3D adventure didn't come out at all for the system. (Though Captain Toad was a lot more fun and charming to the point I'd consider that game to be the Wii U's hit Mario exclusive)

My comments will never be pinned Cmon reverse psychology please work It didn’t get pinned

Recently picked this game up again. Got it at a Walmart in its “Nintendo Select” state. It was just as great as I remember it 7 years ago.

Having never played 3D Land and jumping straight to 3D World, I always thought the 3DS version was just a watered down version of the Wii U game with worse graphics. I'm pleasantly surprised to see it's strong enough to be a standalone title, independent enough that you didn't even compare it to 3D World once. Very well crafted review, I respect the decision to go for the capture card.

As a long time Mario fan, I personally really hate this game...In my opinion this is easily the worst of the 3D Mario game. To me it's the Sticker Star of the 3D Mario games. This game just feels so lifeless, soulless, barebones & uninteresting to play. Bland & uninspired level designs, lazily made boss fights, even by 3D Mario standards, mediocre soundtrack, lack of wow factor & imagination, & the game focusing WAAAY too much on Mario 3 nostalgia pandering rather than coming up with fresh new ideas. Of all the 3D Mario games I played, this is the only 3D Mario game that left sour taste in my mouth...I'll take 64, Sunshine, the Galaxy games & especially Odyssey over this game anyday. Hell I'll even take 3D World over this game. At least 3D World attempted to be a little more unique with its level designs & gameplay, even though it isn't done that much, not to mention having a MUCH better soundtrack.

Man, you're such a cool cat. Loving your vids. Looking forward to seeing more and being a part of the community when the April Fools vid drops.

Another great video! I think I really like you videos because we have very similar views on games and I enjoy your humor.

Really loved that Karate Joe shirt cant take my eyes off of it when ever it shows up.
