To celebrate the launch of the Super Mario 3D Land game for the Nintendo 3DS hand-held system, Nintendo is giving fans in New York City a rare opportunity to experience how 3D significantly enhances and reinvents the beloved Mario gaming experience. 

Anyone who visits Times Square on Nov. 12 will be invited to play inside Mario's 3D world with life size warp pipes, trampoline coin jumps and a flag pole finale! Visitors will also have a special opportunity to play Super Mario 3D Land in advance of its official Nov. 13 release date.

Among Mario's World 3D game-play experience, attendees will also be able to enjoy many exciting things such as a performance from a mass group of Nintendo characters at the start of the event, a set of exclusive Tanooki ears and tails as featured in the original franchise which will be rewarded to fans onsite throughout the event (available while supplies last).

Gamers will also be able to win over their hunger with a "Mushroom Kingdom" Pizza truck on-site offering free mushroom pizza slices to the first 1,000 consumers onsite that tweet using the #SuperMario3D hashtag.

Additionally, in advance of its official Nov. 13 release date, Nintendo is rewarding its biggest fans in attendance with an exclusive limited early sale of the game at Toys "R" Us located in Times Square on Nov. 12.

Super Mario 3D Land is the first Mario game created for Nintendo 3DS. The platform utilizes 3D visuals to deliver classic Mario action with enhanced depth, distance and speed, all without the need for special glasses. To date, more than 262 million Super Mario games have been sold around the globe, making it one of the world's most widely enjoyed video game series.

The event happens Saturday, Nov. 12 starting at 10 a.m. Military Island at Times Square (Broadway and 7th Avenue between 43rd and 44th Streets).
