Paper Mario 3D Land

Paper Mario 3D Land is a 3D platformer that’s a fusion between Super Mario 3D Land‘s gameplay and Paper Mario’s distinct style. It gets the top spot on this list because not only is it attractive, it also features some of the best level design I’ve seen in a fan game to date. Things start off fairly easy but it gets rather unforgiving before too long.

Don’t let the steep difficultly and occasionally sloppy graphics deter you: this is a fine example of 3D platforming and is worthy of bearing Mario’s title.
