Considering that the "Bowser takes Peach" plot has been getting stale and the multitude of NSMB titles are turning some gamers away (also, let's not forget Paper Mario's transformation into a generic Mario game), Super Mario 3D World is a godsend to show that the Mario games still have a significant creative factor that made us all want to play his games in the first place. Not only is it the first title in the main series that lets us play as Peach since Super Mario 2 USA (even though the somewhat underwhelming Super Princess Peach takes that spot), it gives us fresher and more unique mechanics that not even New Super Mario Bros. U can dish up. Plus, it even redeems the problems that Super Mario 3D Land had to begin with!
