The official Japanese site for Super Mario 3D World has been updated with new screens and some other details. First off, the site confirms the game will run at 720p instead of 1080p.

- one level takes place in a pyramid
- in shadow levels, secrets can be found by looking for inconsistencies in the patterns of light
- one level features a hidden animated squatting Mario sprite
- Bowser will drive along the top of one of his castles
- another boss battle features a Super Mario 3D Land-style Boom-Boom who can turn invisible
- collecting stamps in levels unlocks an uncolored stamp within a stamp book, which we now know is used for Miiverse messages
- Bowser invades a neighboring kingdom and imprisons some of its citizens
- the citizens look like princesses
- Bowser is out to steal their treasure
- some stages let you move the camera while others don't
- Piranha plants can also bite other real-life players
