GN Version 4.0
- Miyamoto says 3D Mario games are tough for some people because they don't know where to go
- in 3D, it's tougher for people to judge their jumps onto enemies
- Super Mario 3D Land has a bigger focus on jumping on enemies
- Super Mario 3D Land plays more like a 2D Mario game
- It feels specifically like Super Mario Bros. 3
- Miyamoto says making it to World 8 is pretty easy, but the game is quite difficult if you try some of the more challenging elements
- World 8 itself is very tough
- Miyamoto says a lot of games have unnecessary action moves that you don't need
- there are more suits in the game than just Tanooki
- Miyamoto makes games that people don't have to use 3D to enjoy, but there are some places in Super Mario 3D Land where 3D tricks the players
