As such, Super Mario 3D Land combines the elements of traditional side-scrolling Mario titles, such as linear-based levels, with those of the modern open world Mario titles, such as moving Mario in three dimensions and performing a variety of actions.[6]

Similar to the classic side-scrolling Mario games, the objective of each level is to reach and grab the "Goal Pole" located at the end of the course before the time limit expires. Super Mario 3D Land utilizes a similar health system to those games, in which Mario shrinks upon taking damage from enemies or hazards, and damage while as "Small Mario" results in losing a life. The game offers a number of traditional Mario items, such as the Super Mushroom, Fire Flower, and Starman, along with new power-ups that bestow special suits onto Mario that grant him new abilities. Returning from Super Mario Bros. 3 is the Super Leaf power-up, which gives Mario the 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.[7] Other new items include: the Boomerang Flower, which allows Mario to throw boomerangs that can collect out of reach items as well as attack enemies; the Propeller Box, which allows Mario to reach high places, similar to New Super Mario Bros. Wii's Propeller Suit; and the rare Question Box which gives Mario extra coins whilst wearing it.[8][9][10][11] Each course contains three hidden Star Medals that are required to unlock certain levels.[12] The map screen also contains Toad Houses where players can gain additional items, and Mystery Boxes where more Star Medals can be earned. After clearing the game once, a set of "Special" levels are unlocked, some of which contain additional challenges such as a 30-second time limit or Shadow Mario clones (the latter similar to Super Mario Galaxy). Clearing a certain level in these worlds unlocks Luigi as a playable character, who has slightly different handling to Mario.[7] Similar to the Super Guide feature in recent Mario titles, certain items can be made available if the player struggles on a certain level. 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.[13]

Super Mario 3D Land utilizes the Nintendo 3DS autostereoscopic technology, allowing players to perceive depth when viewing the game screen. While the game is designed to not require the 3D effect, some obstacles or points of interest are deliberately more noticeable or easier when the 3D is switched on.[6] Super Mario 3D Land also utilizes optional use of the 3DS gyroscope which can be used to control cannons and binoculars.[6] The game also features StreetPass functionality, allowing players to exchange Mystery Boxes containing bonus items.[14]
I got this game for christmas. I'm only on world 2 but it's been pretty good so far. Does anyone else have this game?

I encourage you to take a quick search through Google News. It's a hot topic that is brewing. It's interesting to see that television media hasn't said much about this. Perhaps, because they are in support of SOPA.

The main problem of SOPA is that it violates our privacy, our rights, and our freedom. In a way, you can consider it as the Great Wall of the United States. This type of censorship should not occur in the U.S.]]> [Wikipedia]

What do you think about that? I'd say that it's generally true. How we perceive things is directly influenced by how we are, mainly by things like:
-Our cultural background
-Our mood
-Society
-Personality
-Previous knowledge
-Opinion

What do you think? A strawberry is red. Is it because our eyes are made to send the color red to our brains or is it because strawberry is red? What if our eyes were evolved in a different way so that they saw "red" as another color?]]>

Tomorrow's the Global Dignity Day (October 20), so happy early dignity day!! I went to the global dignity day forum today and it was inspiring. People like Matti Ahtisaari and Desmond Tutu spoke there and they all emphasized on the same thing: Everyone's dream is that their dignity is recognized. Now, it's rather vague to talk about "everyone's dream", as people are different. However, if you think about it, you'll see that somewhere deep inside, pretty much everyone wants dignity and honor. Many conflicts nowadays involve dignity. Many people have fought for their dignity.

Why dignity? Well, their official website puts it this way:
Heart and smart

• The Dignity Principles are based on both ethics and enlightened self-interest. So they are both heart and smart.
  

The Ethical Imperative

• The main reason for defending dignity is that it is a value in itself. People need dignity to lead a human life.
  

What are your thoughts on dignity and tolerance?]]>
