Wii U Developer Direct - Super Mario 3D World

Direct link here

- Had Wii U in mind when working on Super Mario 3D Land
- carry each other
- throw the other players
- clear a stage for a results screen
- multiplayer mode shows how many points everyone got
- race to pick up certain items for more points
- Mario is a well-rounded character
- Luigi can jump a bit higher
- Peach can float
- Toad is quicker and for the expert players
- Cat Mario has new moves that are cat-like: slide, jump attack, climb walls and flag poles
- made pipes see-through so you could see what is going on
- hit enemies in pipes and collect coins
- take branching paths and avoid enemies
- throw fireballs into a pipe to get enemies
- use touch screen to freeze enemies and objects
- touch moving platforms to stop them
- invisible coins and blocks hidden everywhere
- touch these spots to see blocks appear
- mode for controlling camera via gyrosensor
- find hidden green stars
- move camera around as you play if you'd like
- might see familiar elements from Super Mario 3D Land, but filled with new elements also
- feel this game is the best culmination of past 3D Mario games
