Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury is a game that combines two exciting adventures. In the Super Mario 3D World portion, players can choose from Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Toad to save the Sprixie Kingdom. Each character has unique abilities, such as Luigi’s high jumps and Peach’s ability to float. The goal is to collect Green Stars, coins, and power-ups while navigating through creative levels. The game also introduces Snapshot Mode, allowing players to pause the action, take pictures, apply filters, and share their creations.

SUPER MARIO 3D WORLD GAMEPLAY

The game levels are similar to Super Mario 3D Land, combining the free-roaming gameplay of the 3D games in the Super Mario series with 2D side-scrolling mechanics such as timers and flagpoles at the end of levels Up to four players can control characters at the same time: Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Toad, and the unlockable Rosalina. Similar to the look in Super Mario Bros 2, each character has unique abilities and different controls. Mario has a good balance between running speed and jump height. Luigi jumps higher and falls more slowly, but with slightly less traction. Peach can jump and temporarily levitate, but runs slowly. Toads run the fastest, but cannot jump high and fall faster. Rosalina can perform her spin attack moves like in the Super Mario Galaxy game, but she has the slowest running speed.

Players can select and use one of her five characters before starting a level, and up to four players can explore the same level simultaneously and share lives from her pool. Players can also lift, carry, and throw items at each other. levels are achieved through the world map, where players can find hidden areas to earn more items and coins.

Additional Green Stars can be earned in Captain Toad, Mystery House, and Challenge levels. Several items are introduced alongside items that have returned from previous games, such as Fire Flower, Super Leaf, Mega Mushroom, Propeller Box, and Boomerang Flower. Superbell gives the player his suit, allowing him to run faster, use unique attacks, and climb walls to reach new areas. A variation of the Super Bell, the Lucky Bell allows players to temporarily transform their character into a beckoning cat statue and earn coins under certain conditions. Double Cherry creates a clone of the player, allowing for more effective attacks and increasing the chances of survival.

SUPER MARIO 3D WORLD PLOT

Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Toad are watching a fireworks show near Princess Peach’s Castle until they find a tilted glass pipe. After Mario and Luigi fix it, a green fairy-like Sprixie princess appears and tells them that Bowser has kidnapped and trapped six other Sprixie princesses in jars. He arrives and captures her before escaping through the pipe, with the heroes subsequently entering it and pursuing him. They find themselves in a realm known as “The Sprixie Kingdom” and set off to find the Sprixies. Each of the Sprixies is rescued in different worlds. After the heroes save the final one, Bowser recaptures all seven and heads to his amusement park fortress. Thereafter, Bowser uses the Super Bell to transform into a cat form called Meowser. The group proceeds to climb the tallest tower and defeat Meowser. The heroes say goodbye to the Sprixies and travel home through the pipe back to the Mushroom Kingdom.

BOWSER’S FURY GAMEPLAY

Bowser’s Fury is an open-world platform game in which the player, Mario, completes challenges to collect Cat Shines to free Bowser and Lake Lapcat from the control of the black sludge. Its core gameplay is similar to that of the 2013 platform game Super Mario 3D World, while also adopting elements introduced in Super Mario Odyssey. Eurogamer noted the influence of Super Mario Sunshine on Bowser’s Fury, from its scrappy approach to new concepts to its use of Bowser Jr. and debt to Shadow Mario challenges. GameSpot described the concept of Bowser’s Fury as having put elements of Super Mario 3D World into the structure of Super Mario Odyssey. The player character Mario jumps between platforms and obstacles in a 3D environment. Each area of the world features a new gameplay twist. Mario collects bodysuit power-ups that grant him special abilities, such as Fire Mario, Tanooki Mario, and Boomerang Mario.

In each area of Bowser’s Fury, Mario collects Cat Shines by completing challenges less than 10 minutes in length, such as traversing platforms or collecting shard fragments of a Cat Shine. There are 100 Shines to collect in the game, and each self-contained area has five, displayed in a lighthouse. After collecting a Shine, the game reconfigures the area’s environment to set up the next Shine’s challenge. As the player progresses through the game, more areas open to the player. Mario rides the dinosaur Plessie to navigate between each island area of the archipelago and to reach Shine challenges throughout the lake’s waters, outside the island areas. Unlike other Mario games, all areas of Bowser’s Fury are openly accessible without the use of a hub world—traditional Mario levels are connected without loading screens or boundaries. Also unlike Super Mario 3D World, the player has full, unfixed camera control in Bowser’s Fury and is not restricted to a limited number of “lives”—instead, when Mario dies, the player loses 50 coins from their counter, which gets reset every 100 coins due to granting Mario a power-up.

Every few minutes, Bowser’s fury transforms the daytime setting of Lake Lapcat into an apocalyptic nighttime setting, with fireballs raining down toward the player. The Godzilla-esque fury event can interrupt the player’s activity every few minutes but also gives new gameplay opportunities, such as generating new platforms in the sky and using the ability to bait Bowser’s fiery breath to destroy otherwise indestructible obstacles. The player can end the storm by collecting a Cat Shine, activating a lighthouse to pierce the darkness. Alternatively, the player can wait out the event or, with enough Cat Shines, choose to directly confront Bowser in a kaiju-esque battle set in a reduced-scale version of Lake Lapcat.

After the fury, Bowser returns to the sludge and slowly begins to rise, indicating the timing of the next fury event, as the fury event does not occur on a predictable interval. Mario is joined by Bowser Jr., whom the player can direct to interact with wall markings and, optionally, can be configured to assist the player in attacking enemies and collecting coins. Alternatively, a second player can control Bowser Jr., with the same limited ability set. Bowser Jr. also stores power-ups for the player and allows the player to swap between the item abilities as needed. The basic game lasts about four hours for an average player, with an additional four hours of gameplay for players interested in collecting all 100 “Cat Shines” tokens. Visually, the game displays at a reduced framerate when played in handheld mode, with drops in frame rate during chaotic on-screen action.

BOWSERS FURY PLOT

While on a walk, Mario discovers a mysterious black sludge M (resembling Shadow Mario’s logo from Super Mario Sunshine) in the Mushroom Kingdom. After being absorbed by it, Mario finds himself in an archipelago of cat-themed islands called Lake Lapcat that have become overrun with black sludge. Upon his arrival, Mario encounters Fury Bowser, a dark version of Bowser that has grown to colossal size. Mario collects a Cat Shine, causing Bowser to retreat. Bowser Jr. appears and pleads for Mario’s help to restore his father to normal, and Mario reluctantly agrees. The two travel across Lake Lapcat to obtain Cat Shines, aided by Plessie the aquatic dinosaur. After obtaining a certain number of Cat Shines, Mario gains access to the Giga Bell, a super-powered variation of the Super Bell.

The Giga Bell transforms Mario into Giga Cat Mario, a colossal version of his regular cat form, allowing him to battle Fury Bowser. After using the Giga Bells to fight Fury Bowser several times, Bowser is drained of the sludge that transformed him. Despite this, he remains colossal and out of control, and steals the three Giga Bells. Mario manages to retake the Giga Bells, using all three to turn Plessie into a giant and crush Bowser. Bowser is returned to his normal size, and Bowser Jr. breaks off his alliance with Mario as the two retreat. Mario and the cats of Lake Lapcat celebrate atop the still-giant Plessie. A series of paintings by Bowser Jr. shown during the credits explain that he was responsible for accidentally creating Fury Bowser, having painted Bowser’s face with his magic paintbrush while he was sleeping as a prank.
