Gameplay

Controls

Features

The game features gameplay that is very similar to the other 3D Mario games. It is however, quite different in a way. Mario is exposed to a total new version of the Mushroom Kingdom called Mushroom Island. It has a new Toad Town called Toad Square that looks similar to the Mario Kart Wii's Mario Circuit. Mario's hub is a new Peach's Castle area that includes a series of Painting, Warp Pipes, and secret areas. However, unlike the last games, Mario must venture out to the area and collect one Power Star in that area on his own before the warp will appear in Peach's Castle. Mario can automatically travel back to Peach's Castle anytime he wants. In access these areas first, Mario must solve different puzzles and collect Power Stars. One of the brand new features is the Mushmobile, a Mushroom-like car that Mario can use to travel at faster speeds. Although it is very similar to the Cosmic Spirit, Robud is a new feature in the game. Mario can call him one time per level to help him in different ways. For example, Mario can ride Robud, similar to Hoot (in Super Mario 64) to reach the Star. This varies in different levels. Missions also return from the other 3D Mario games. Although the game is not really based off Super Mario Galaxy, the graphics are a lot the same and there is once space area in which Mario can take large jumps.

Story

Mario gets a gets a letter from Princess Peach, saying to come down to the castle to enjoy a cake, celebrating his anniversary. However, upon arriving, Bowser attacks in his R.O.B.O.O.T., a Wrecking Crane, which starts destroying Peach's Castle. Mario however, defeats R.O.B.O.O.T. to find that Bowser had already kidnapped Peach and was escaping. Just then, out of the wreckage of R.O.B.O.O.T. comes a little robot that Bowser was using to run it. He befriends Mario, revealing that his name is Robud, a lost little living alien robot that was kidnapped by Bowser. He agrees to help Mario if Mario will in return, help him get back home. Mario agrees and they collect their first Power Star.

Areas

Peach's Castle (Hub)

A total remodeled version of Peach's Castle that includes Warp Pipes, Painting, and many secrets. Mario can access different worlds here, that is, after he travels there first and collect a Power Star. There are many rooms in the game and only one boss: Rabbpage, the leader of the Rabbits that hops around the castle from room to room and will take many hits before finally giving up the Star. After getting each world, the castle will be more and more restored after Bowser smashed the castle with his R.O.B.O.O.T. Mario can return to Peach's Castle whenever he wants.

Toad Square

The first area in the game that is based off Toad Town. Toad Square is located in the same area as Peach's Castle. In fact, walking out of the castle will lead Mario into Toad Square. Similar to Super Mario Sunshine's Isle Delfino, most of the Power Stars are located in secret areas. For example, Mario can enter different houses, owned by Toads. They might be a secret entrance into their houses to grab a secret Power Star. This is the only area in the game (not counting the hub, Peach's Castle) that does not include missions. There are still eight Red Coins to collect, and even a boss: R.O.B.O.O.T., battled at the start of the game. Mario can easily defeat him by ground pounding on his off switch to stop Bowser's plan on destroying Peach's Castle.
