- Super Mario 3D Land has a bigger focus on jumping on enemies
- Super Mario 3D Land plays more like a 2D Mario game

- 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

- Miyamoto says a lot of games have unnecessary action moves that you don’t need

- 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
