The "no" answers can imply, if you want, that you'll turn it on if it's necessary for part of a game, like those 3D coin puzzles in SM3DL.

I fall into the #4 category. More often than not I can't find the precise distance to see it in 3D without any doubling of the image, and if I do get it the slightest movement ends up shifting my sight enough to throw everything off. It's been so long since I've used it that, despite it making up 2/3 of the console's name, I often forget it's a feature on this thing.

It's probably just a problem with my eyes - those magic 3D image things that were big a decade or two ago never worked for me. Like literally never.

I very, very rarely use it. Battery life is precious, and 3D bunks down the performance/load times for some games, i.e. Monster Hunter.

This. Then after my original 3DS broke, I ended up buying a 2DS that didn't even come with the feature because I decided I would never ever use it again.

Situational. Some games are better with their 3D effects. Others are terrible and I just see double unless held in an extremely specific way.

I wasn't sure how to describe them.

There are a couple pipes you can go down in that game which lead you to an isometric room that has a star coin (or whatever they were, I can't remember), and it looks like it's just a matter of jumping up and grabbing it, but turning on the 3D reveals that it isn't placed where you think it is. You need to do some platforming/maneuvering around blocks to get to it.

There was a boo's house which had a similar thing too.

You don't need the 3D for those. I believe you can move the camera.
