''Super Mario 3D Land'' is the first ''Super Mario'' game published by Nintendo on one of their consoles to be officially localized in Dutch, Portuguese, and Russian.<ref name="NintendoNL"> [http://www.nintendo.nl/NOE/nl_NL/news/2011/geef_bowser_een_zwieper_-_de_tanooki_power-up_is_terug_45304.html Nintendo of the Netherlands - Geef Bowser een zwieper - de Tanooki power-up is terug]</ref><ref name="NintendoPG">[http://www.nintendo.pt/NOE/pt_PT/news/2011/super_mario_3d_land_e_mario_kart_7_chegam__nintendo_3ds_em_portugus_45304.html Nintendo of Portugal - ''SUPER MARIO 3D LAND'' e ''Mario Kart 7'' chegam à Nintendo 3DS em português!]</ref><ref name="NintendoRU"> [http://www.nintendo.ru/NOE/ru_RU/games/nintendo_3ds/super_mario_3d_land__44851.html Nintendo Russia - Official ''Super Mario 3D Land'' Website]</ref>

The levels of ''Super Mario 3D Land'' are much more linear and compact than the other 3D titles, more along the lines of the side-scrolling games. All levels have a [[Time Limit|time limit]] and even feature [[Goal Pole]]s, a staple of the original ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and the ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' games, as opposed to [[Power Star]]s or [[Shine Sprite]]s, as the level goals. To enter vertical pipes, the player must press {{button|3ds|L}} or {{button|3ds|R}}; for the first time in the series, the player can re-enter areas through pipes at will (for example, after being transported to the above-ground Goal Pole in [[World 2-2 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 2-2]], the player can go back down the pipe to return underground). The graphics of the game greatly resemble those of the ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' [[Super Mario Galaxy 2|games]], while the levels show visual similarities to the ''[[New Super Mario Bros. (disambiguation)|New Super Mario Bros.]]'' titles. Game-play also takes cues from ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', notably tight-rope walking. Unlike the 2D ''Super Mario'' games, the level themes in a world tend to be more random, like the galaxies of the ''Super Mario Galaxy'' games, instead of focusing on a particular setting per world.

If [[Invincible Mario]] or [[White Tanooki Mario]] ground pounds onto a Baddie Box, the game starts to lag as the box explodes. The "explosion" continues and the game lags until the player jumps off of the exploding box. A harsh grinding sound is heard during the explosion, and a sound resembling that of a beanstalk coming out of an item box (in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'') can be heard as Mario crouches when the player holds {{button|3ds|L}} or {{button|3ds|R}} (beanstalks like this do not appear in the game). It is possible this sound is simply the sound Mario makes when he crouches, but distorted so much by the explosion it sounds like a beanstalk. The glitch can only be done on levels where Baddie Boxes appear, such as [[World 2-4 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 2-4]], 5-[[Castle]], and [[Special 1-3]]. Both Worlds 2-4 and 5-Castle require White Tanooki Mario, making Special 1-3 the only stage where the glitch can be executed after the level has been beaten once and the only stage where it can be executed by Luigi.

To perform this glitch, Mario needs to go to the airship of [[World 2 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 2]]. Then, he should enter the first Warp Box. The player should reach the end of the bonus airship, but Mario should not enter the Warp Box at the end. Instead, the player should press the left camera control button so that the camera turns to the left. Wait until the Warp Box is offscreen then immediately go inside the box before Mario loses a life. If performed correctly, Mario should lose a life while the camera pans back to the main airship.

During the boss fight with the Tail Bowser on the castle in World 1, the player must use Tanooki Mario to glide across the gap between the bridge and the platforms at the start of the fight then press the switch when the Tail Bowser jumps to the left. If done correctly, the bridge collapses with the Tail Bowser off-screen, and the game never ends the cutscene. The player, however, can still exit the level.<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-eIBZ19JMc</ref>

==Pre-release and unused content==

*''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'': In the final battle with [[Bowser]], Bowser throws barrels at [[Mario]], similar to [[Donkey Kong]].

*''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'': Mario's original sprite from this game appears as his world map icon on the touch screen. [[World 1-2 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 1-2]] is an underground level with a secret exit over the ceiling leading to a [[Warp Zone]] to the next world, exactly as [[World 1-2 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 1-2]] did in this game. [[Fake Bowser]]s return as [[Tail Bowser]]s with a similar battle style. The first Tail Bowser battle is modeled after the original one, and it is still a disguised [[Goomba]]. A cover version of the main theme from this game plays in [[Coin Heaven]]s, [[World 2-3 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 2-3]], and [[Special 1-3]] (Mario also hums the theme in the cutscene between [[World 5 (Super Mario 3D Land)|Worlds 5]] and [[World 6 (Super Mario 3D Land)|6]]). World 2-3 also contains platforms shaped like sprites of Mario, [[Princess Peach|Peach]], [[Luigi]], and both [[Super Mushroom|Super]] and [[1-Up Mushroom]]s from this game; the end of the level is designed like the commonly seen end of levels in this game. Special 1-3 contains platforms that are shaped like sprites of a [[? Block]], a Goomba, a [[Cloud Block]], a [[Bullet Bill]], a [[Cheep Cheep]], and three fireballs; the end of the level is designed like a level set at night in this game. A cover of this game's "level clear" music also plays upon clearing World 2-3 and Special 1-3. The "crown award" used to represent obtaining extra lives over a certain amount returns, but now 3 Crowns appear instead. After defeating Bowser and clearing {{World|8|bowser3d}}: Part 1, Mario looks onward in a stance resembling his idle sprite from this game.

*''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'': The special worlds may be inspired by this game's relationship to ''Super Mario Bros.'', being harder levels maintaining the same world structure as the main game, as well as exclusively featuring [[Poison Mushroom]]s. Luigi retains his unique physics (He jumps higher than Mario, but has worse traction). The phrase "THANK YOU!!" appears in the [[Special 8-Crown|true last level]], but is in English instead. The boss battles ending with Mario/Luigi continuing on to the flagpole instead of simply after the boss's defeat resembles [[World 9-3 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|World 9-3]] from this game.

*''[[Super Mario World]]'': Some enemies, such as [[Grinder]]s and [[Porcupuffer]]s, return from this game. The backgrounds of some cutscenes between worlds strongly resemble those of [[Chocolate Island]]. The sound heard when Mario exits a level after beating it in this game is present in ''Super Mario 3D Land'' after Luigi's letter is seen. Also, in the E3 2011 demo, a Jump Block would make the sound when Yoshi is mounted occasionally. The [[item storage]] returns. [[World 4-2 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 4-2]] may be a reference to [[Vanilla Secret 1]], [[World 5-4 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 5-4]] a reference to [[Valley of Bowser 1]], and [[Special 5-5]] a reference to [[Donut Ghost House]]. Also, in the letter received when [[World 3 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 3]] is completed, Mario's jumping out of the bubble may play the [[jump]] or [[Cape Mario|Cape]] swing sound effect from this game. Certain [[note]] sets play this game's bonus room theme. The beginning of the [[castle]] levels' theme music plays a rising scale, similar to this game's castle theme.

*''[[Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3]]'': When in their Small forms, Mario and Luigi lose their caps, similarly to [[Tiny Wario|Wario's Small form]] as seen in this game (though they wear a hat if the player collects the maximum amount of lives (1,110 lives), and Super Mario/Luigi lose the cap instead).

*''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'': The 3D Land stage returns in this game. Boom Boom and Pom Pom appear as spirit using artwork from ''Super Mario 3D Land''.

*''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'': The Boomerang Flower and Coin Box return as [[Special Item (Mario Kart series)|Special Items]]. Tanooki Mario and Kitsune Luigi reuse their artwork from ''Super Mario 3D Land''. [[White Tanooki Mario]] appears as new driver in this game.

*''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (Nintendo Switch)|Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'' ([[Nintendo Switch]]): Mario's humming from one of the cutscenes is reused for this game.
