Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury brings together two exciting Mario adventures into one fun-filled package, offering a combination of cooperative platforming and open-world exploration. Originally released for the Nintendo Wii U, the enhanced version for the Nintendo Switch includes the beloved Super Mario 3D World alongside the exciting Bowser’s Fury, each providing unique gameplay experiences. Whether you prefer working together with friends or exploring a vast, dynamic world, this title has something for everyone.
Super Mario 3D World is a vibrant 3D platformer that focuses on teamwork and creative level design. Players can choose from Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and Toad as they explore whimsical levels filled with challenging obstacles, secret paths, and plenty of power-ups. The game introduces fun cooperative play, allowing up to four players to team up and tackle levels together, either locally or online. The levels are cleverly designed to make full use of Mario’s jumping mechanics, with exciting platforming sequences, creative challenges, and clever use of the Super Bells that transform characters into Cat Mario (or Cat Luigi, Peach, or Toad). Super Mario 3D World offers a mix of exploration, fast-paced platforming, and fun, vibrant worlds.
On the other hand, Bowser’s Fury offers a different experience, combining open-world exploration with traditional Mario gameplay. In this adventure, Mario teams up with Bowser Jr. to stop Bowser, who has been corrupted by dark energy and is wreaking havoc across Lake Lapcat. The open-world design allows for free exploration, where players can collect Cat Shines to unlock new areas and defeat challenging bosses. The dynamic weather system, including Bowser’s periodic attacks when the sky darkens, adds an exciting twist to the experience. Bowser’s Fury also introduces a co-op element, as Bowser Jr. can be controlled by a second player, helping Mario in various ways throughout the adventure. This world is full of surprises, with different islands to explore, puzzles to solve, and enemies to defeat, all while working toward taking down Bowser in his most menacing form.
The combination of Super Mario 3D World’s cooperative platforming and Bowser’s Fury’s open-world exploration creates a well-rounded and engaging experience for players of all kinds. The visuals have been enhanced for the Nintendo Switch, offering vibrant, colorful environments with smooth gameplay. The music, character animations, and level design continue to showcase the creative and charming style that the Mario series is known for. Whether you’re playing solo or with friends, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury delivers a fun and dynamic Mario adventure that’s sure to captivate players both young and old.
