It sees Mario traverse more linear levels than those found in its 3D predecessors – Super Mario 64 ( 1996) and Super Mario Sunshine ( 2002) – that largely consist of spherical platforms with their own centers of gravity. It is the eleventh entry in the Super Mario series, the third 3D platformer, and the first of what would be recognized – in retrospect – as the "course clear-style" games of the series.
