Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer 3 - The Sleeping Princess and the Karakuri Mansion, also referred to as Shiren 3 Wii, is a game in the Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer series. Originally available for the Wii in Japanese and English, it received a graphically downgraded, Japan only PlayStation Portable rerelease with balance changes, and 6 additional Dungeons.

Shiren 3 Wii is set in a 3D world designed after feudal Japan. Shiren and Koppa meet up with Shiren's uncle Sensei, and childhood friend Asuka, in an effort to unravel the mystery of the mysterious Karakuri Mansion.

Dungeon gameplay takes place on a grid, with movement in the four cardinal directions and diagonals, while town location movement is done in a free-moving 3D environment, and overworld movement is done on a flat map with waypoints that a sprite of the character moves between. Unlike other Shiren titles, the player characters retain their levels, although it doesn't make the game any easier. At the start of the game, players are given 2 difficulty options; Easy and Normal. On the Easy difficulty, when players are defeated in a dungeon during the main story, they're reset to their last save point. On the Normal difficulty, players are kicked out of the dungeon, and all of their Items and Gitan are lost. The Japanese release features rescues, while the North American release doesn't. Despite what the name implies, the "Easy" difficulty doesn't make the game that much easier, and the 30-dungeon~ main story eventually devolves into a grind-fest to power through the increasingly difficult dungeons to make it to the end credits regardless of the difficulty.

Some side quests can be progressed during the main story, though they may also be missed, halting progress until players clear the main story. Unlike other Shiren titles, Shiren 3 is more of an RPG, and less of a "roguelike", where quests and rare items may be an hour, or 300-hour-long endeavor depending on player-skill, and familiarity with the game mechanics. The post-credits gameplay offers a mix of the standard-issue level reset dungeons and dungeons where players continue to retain their levels. Dungeons are mixed on whether or not they allow items to be carried in, and some dungeons may even require items to be carried in, such as the Void of the Strong.

Rescues, online leaderboards, connectivity with  Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer DS2 - Magic Castle of the Desert, and other related mechanics were removed from the North American release, and most of which no longer function in the Japanese release, due to the shut down of Wii online support. The two bonus dungeons Shine of Mystery and Mysterious Dungeon were made available by default in the North American release.
