Super Mario 3D Land will have StreetPass support

Super Mario 3D will make use of the 3DS’ built-in StreetPass functionality. Nintendo’s latest press release confirms the news, but doesn’t go into any detail.

Here’s what the release says:

“On Nov. 13, Nintendo will release the Super Mario 3D Land game for Nintendo 3DS. In this first-ever true 3D Mario platforming adventure, players can scout levels and find secrets before they play using the built-in gyro sensor feature of the Nintendo 3DS system. The game will feature propeller blocks and will have StreetPass functionality.”

I never really thought about a Mario game having this kind of support. I’m sure Miyamoto has something interesting in store…
