Koichi Hayashida, said during GDC:
“We thought of setting the difficulty level about as low as we could go realistically for this game because we saw this as an entry point to the Mario games for a lot of people. So the way we see it is someone would pick up Super Mario 3D Land and play that, and then maybe they would move onto Super Mario Galaxy or Super Mario Sunshine or Super Mario 64 after that.”

My top 3 are Mario 3, Mario World and Mario 64. Mario Odyssey is also excellent, and I enjoyed Sunshine but didn't care for the Galaxy series.
Even if the eShop has now closed down, the best 3DS games are still worth playing — in any way you can get your hands on them.

No need for that shit, mod your 3DS and have the whole collection for nothing. https://www.youtube.com/wat...
That would certainly explain the ease of play. Not that it wasn't fun of course. Easy or not, I love this game. Hope the newcomers do as well.
This game made me trade my entire system in, complete with ambassador games, for a psvita. Idk what went wrong, but the game felt small, boring, and totally un-mario. Felt like I could play it on an iphone, which means it is too simple to be a real game. (1 step away from a point and click adventure.)
I played super mario 64 when I was five, and I didn't have any problem with the difficulty then. Doesn't beating the game unlock a harder mode, or did I just make that up?
3D land was pretty easy, but you can make it challenging.
Try clearing stage S7-4, collecting all of the star coins, and gold flagging it in one run with no powerups. Took me a long time to do that.
