List of Mario-related features

Stages

  • Paper Mario: - A new stage that is exclusive to the Nintendo 3DS version. This stage features three scenes where a couple are from Paper Mario: Sticker Star and one from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. The first scene plays at Hither Thither Hill and even features the large fan that may blow characters away. The scene then changes to the S.S. Flavion where a remix version of Rogueport's theme is played. Gooper Blooper is also seen in the background during this scene and even the Tuna from Paper Mario. The final scene takes place at Bowser's Sky Castle where the Bowser head in the middle tends to rotate. After this, the scene goes back to Hither Thither Hill.
  • 3D Land: - Another new stage that is exclusive to the 3D version of this game. This stage comes directly from Super Mario 3D Land where it is a side-scroller stage. The first part starts from the very first level of Super Mario 3D Land where the characters must jump over blocks and such. It then switches to some platforms while riding on a rail that eventually floats in midair. Eventually, the platforms stop flying and switches to a grassy slope and the song changes. The scene shifts over to some warp pipes and the player must ride on some more platform near a lake with beak pillars in it. After going through a Warp Pipe, it goes back to the beginning of the stage.
  • Golden Plains: - Another new stage that is exclusive to the 3D version of this game. This stage comes directly from New Super Mario Bros. 2 where it is both normal and side-scroller stage. In the stage, there are Gold Coins for the characters to collect. Once a character collects 100 Coins, they will turn into gold, increasing their power and resistance, but only for a short while. When there is a sign that says either left or right, the stage will scroll wherever the direction goes. The character will be KO'd if he or she doesn't move when the stage scrolls.
  • Rainbow Road: - Another new stage that is exclusive to the 3D version of this game. This stage comes directly from Mario Kart 7 where it is a stage in the style of Mute City from Super Smash Bros. Melee and Port Town Aero Dive from Super Smash Bros. Brawl. The stage starts from the start line of the race, and when it stops, it lands on one part of the stage. What the characters need to watch out for is when there are Shy Guy Racers that will run them over and damage them.
  • Mushroomy Kingdom: - A returning stage from Super Smash Bros. Brawl that is exclusive to the 3D version of this game. It is a side-scrolling stage where it moves from the start of the stage to the goal post, which will then start over soon after.
