Super Mario 3D Land

A water level that doesn't suck? Amazing!
Date played: November 28th
Platform: 3DS
Time played: 30 minutes
Session fun rating: 8\10

I played a few levels and got to the middle of World 3.  I actually went back to a few levels to get some of the secret stars.  I've discovered that I was being an idiot.  In some levels, there are toads hiding.  I didn't know that when zooming in on one with binoculars, they spawn a secret star coin!

I also played one of the best underwater levels in a 3D game.  The air meter is gone (thank God!) and the swimming feels nice and easy.  The level was also well designed and had interesting enemies.  I love this game, it's great for playing a few levels every once in a while, it's not a marathon game.
