As such, ''Super Mario 3D Land'' combines the elements of traditional

shrinking upon taking damage from enemies or hazards, there is a dedicated "Dash" button as opposed to using analog input to determine travel speed, and damage as "Small Mario" results in losing a life. Mario has also learned two new moves: a barrel roll and a roll jump, the former of which can be used to break blocks in a similar manner to jumping at blocks from below or ground pounding, and the latter allowing Mario to cover much horizontal ground in one jump. ''Super Mario 3D Land'' utilizes a similar level objective to the aforementioned side-scrolling games, in which the point of each level is to reach and grab the "Goal Pole" at the end of the level, within the time limit.
The game offers a number of traditional
''Mario'' items, such as the Super Mushroom, Fire Flower and Starman, along with new

Tanooki suit, allowing him to float in the air and attack with his tail, with a later variant also allowing him to transform into a statue upon performing a ground pound.
The player is able to reserve an extra power-up, which can be retrieved by tapping the item visible on the touchscreen.
Other items include the Boomerang Flower, which allows Mario to throw boomerangs that can collect out-of-reach items and attack enemies; the Propeller Box, which allows Mario to reach high places; and the rare Prize Box, which gives Mario extra Coins while walking around in it.
The Invincibility Leaf, which appears after the player dies five times in a level, gives Mario invincibility and Tanooki Suit abilities; while the P-Wing, which appears after the player dies ten times in a level, sends the player right to the end of the level, near the Goal Pole. (The invincibility leaf and the P-wing are only available in regular worlds).

''Super Mario 3D Land'' was designed to bridge the gap between 2D ''Mario'' games and 3D ''Mario'' games,
and influenced by Miyamoto's philosophy of keeping the games fun in nature and making sure the player had the utmost opportunity to enjoy the experience of the game.
A main concern during development was making a game that would appeal to fans of the 2D ''Super Mario'' games as well as the 3D games; levels were designed so that the player would not get lost, moving Mario in one general direction towards each level's goal.
One of the inspirations behind the creation of the game was technological advances that made it possible to implement certain elements that could not be done in previous ''Mario'' games.

''Super Mario 3D Land'' development was heavily affected by the
Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami that occurred on March 11, 2011. The disaster caused public transportation to shut down, preventing Nintendo staff from being able to commute to work, and the Tokyo office remained closed for about a week. Hayashida was inspired by the disaster to encourage his team to communicate more, setting up the office such that staff members could easily see and discuss each other's work. The team also started holding group meetings to play-test ''3D Land''s levels.
Hayashida later mentioned that the team expressed hope that the game would inspire joy in spite of the tragedy.
