Customer Ratings & Reviews

This game holds a special spot in my heart as it was the first game my young son was able to learn and play co-op with me. It is everything you could want in a Mario game with lots of replay value, memorable music, and some ramped up difficulty towards the endgame. Allowing the Silver Suit buff on some of the more difficult levels really lets younger players advance in the game and its a nice feature to keep them invested without getting frustrated. 4 player co-op is still a chaotic blast making this a perfect game for parties. The price tag is a bit steep, since this is essentially a Wii U port, but the new Bower's Fury mode at least adds something to soften the first party cost. It's nice that Nintendo is slowly phasing the main Wii U titles over to the Switch, but a small price decrease would be wonderful for those that had previously purchased those games.

Super Mario 3D World is an absolute delight! The vibrant graphics and whimsical levels create an immersive experience. The varied gameplay mechanics, like power-ups and cooperative multiplayer, keep it fresh and engaging. Each level is creatively designed, making exploration fun. It’s a must-play for both new and longtime Mario fans!

I originally played this game on the Wii U only in single player, and I thought it was fun but it didn't feel as memorable as other 3d marios like Galaxy and Odyssey. Even 3D Land on the 3ds felt more fun to me. I picked up this Switch port though and I've had the chance to heavily play multiplayer. Now I can very much appreciate the design of these levels more than ever. Multiplayer is an absolute blast with 3d World and was one of the most enjoyable experiences I've had in a long time with Mario games. I also prefer the multiplayer much better than compared to Mario Maker 2 or Mario U Deluxe. The 3d World levels shine with multi. I cannot speak on the online multi because all of my multi has been local. I recommend the game, as I think it stands well on its own as a worthwhile game next to the numerous others on the Switch.

This one one of my all time favorite Wii U games that has I have been waiting to get ported onto switch since New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe came out in 2019. With just about every port that comes over to switch Nintendo add in extras that more or less justifies its $60 price point for those who want to double dip & with bowsers fury its well worth it.

Solid game from Nintendo. Very few of their games are ever boring. If you enjoy a good adventure game you’ll be happy. Bowser’s Fury is also a solid game also. Open world Mario that feels similar to Odyssey. The only downside I felt was the price tag. See if you can wait for sale.

This game is excellent. I can't believe how much content they packed into this master piece. The game gradually gets more and more difficult, but has well over 100 unique levels. Lots of fun with a balanced challenge. I still haven't tried Boswers fury part of the game.

Great 3D Mario game, Over 40 hours in the main game and Bowser’s fury expansion 100% completion. Enhanced for switch 2, looks and feels awesome to play with a bunch of levels, and it can do up to 4 player co-op multiplayer local and online. Would absolutely recommend.

Super Mario 3D World for the switch is an excellent upgrade port of the WiiU game. Running smoother and with the bonus of Bowser's Fury, it's worth paying full price if you've never played the original. But for those of us that played it when it originally came out, that full price tag seems a bit much. But Nintendo tends to be greedy , rarely dropping their prices on 1st party games and it just loves to make its customers pay again and again. Still as a Mario fan it's hard to resist. It's a 5 star game, but the knocking off one star for being overpriced.

Always love Mario games, but this is like two games in one! Best of both worlds, classic Mario style, with a 3D twist, and Bowser’s Fury is a fun open world sort of feel. Liked it so much I bought a second game so my kids could play together.

Great game, the old fashioned timed levels make it more challenging and the graphics are good and the 3d platforms are always fun to play through. Bowser's Fury is open-world/open-leveled, which is my preferred type of game but both are great!!

I missed this game when it came out on Wii U, but I decided to pick it up now and what a great decision! It’s so fun, fast paced and colorful! The levels are fun and creative and the difficulty is perfect! Please buy this game and enjoy!

Great game to pick up if you never played it on WiiU. Bowsers Fury (new content) reminds me of Super Mario Odyssey and The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker. Just wish it lasted longer. The main game is full of charm and plenty of bite sized levels to keep the interest of many a player. Think of it as a hybrid of New Super Mario Bros U and Super Mario Odyssey. Between 2D and 3D. The controls aren't as tight as Odyssey, but still very good. Too bad they still want $60 for a 7 year old game with some added content.

The grandkids and myself are having fun playing these games. Bowser Fury is the one the boys like best. I purchased it for the summer and they are hooked on it already. Ages 7 and 9

I started playing Nintendo games in the late '80's with my original NES. I have always enjoyed and been more comfortable with side-scrolling games, but this is the first "3D" version of a Mario game where I actually enjoyed the game, and all because I felt like I could control the movement a lot better. I could never get used to the experience on my old Nintendo 64, but something about this one feels better to me. I also enjoy the game because it's a moderate challenge. At least up to the point I've played, it isn't ridiculously hard, but offers a bit of a challenge, which I appreciate. There is variation in the gameplay and I like being able to play as multiple different characters. While I have not played all the way through the game, it has been very enjoyable.

This is a game that came out on the Wii U but now it does have the additional Bowsers Fury added to it, so it's essentially 2 games for the price of one. Super Mario 3D World is a classic and its one of the best Mario games. I love the Cat Power!!! It is basically a remaster that now plays even better than the original. Speed of Mario's movement is faster now and I just cannot stop playing it. If you love Mario, and have never played this game before, I recommend it. For people who played this already, I would say wait for a sale because it's still worth it for the Bowsers Fury but not 60 bucks just for that.

Excellent port of a great Mario game. Multiple playable characters, perfect bite sized levels. Full price for the port is a bit unreasonable, so wait for a sale if you have the patience.

Just some context, I have played the original Super Mario 3D World on the Wii U. It ran 30fps and it had multiplayer, but no online multiplayer. Sure, it can get a little hectic when playing with 4 players altogether, but it was still a fun game to play. There was a minor nitpick I had with the game and that is if you missed collecting a green star and wanted to collect all 3 green stars in one go, you can't restart the level. In order to redo the level, you would have to exist the level and then it takes you back to the overworld map and then you re-enter the same level. When you complete a level, an auto-save feature takes a bit of time to load before letting you progress. The Wii U version: - framerate was 30fps - local co-op multiplayer (up to 4 players) - no online multiplayer - could not restart levels unless you exist the level and go back in same level. - auto-saving screens lasting a bit too long Improvements (Switch version) - better framerate - 60fps - characters move faster - online multiplayer (4 players) - better clarity in video quality - auto-saving screen has been shorten - can restart level without having to exist out of them - a brand new adventure added (Bowser's Fury) I enjoyed playing 3D World on the Wii U, but I couldn't play with friends online. So, when I learned that they've added online multiplayer, I was very excited! I played the game with a friend online to see how well the connection was. For the most part, throughout the game, it's actually pretty good. But there are certain points in the game where the connection starts to lag and cause the game to slow down a bit, which did affect the gameplay. Both me and my friend have good internet connections. It's Nintendo's online service that has issues. Other then that, we had a great time playing together. - Bowser's Fury - Bowser's Fury was a great addition to 3D World! It was a lot a fun to play. It's feels like an open world sandbox level from Super Mario Odyssey. You enter into a Cat-themed world. You play as Mario and you team up with Bowser Jr. to help get Bowser back to normal since he's covered in black sludge and is super angry and wants to destroy everything. There is local co-op for Bowser's Fury. Your friend can play as Bowser Jr. to help you out in the game. If you're playing this by yourself, the game gives you the option on how much you want Bowser Jr. to help you in Bowser's Fury. Bowser Jr.'s role is to help you find items and defeat enemies. You can have Bowser Jr. help a lot, or less, or not at all. Which is a nice feature to give to the players if they choose to need help or not. Unfortunately, for Bowser's Fury, there's only local co-op. Only 3D World main game has the online multiplayer. In Bowser's Fury, your goal is to collect Cat Shines, which are these collectibles to help remove black sludge from the lighthouses and the Giga Cat Bell. Every now and then, Fury Bowser will show up and try to harm you, but if you collect a Cat Shine, it adds light to the lighthouse and repels Fury Bowser back into the black water. There are certain points where you fight Fury Bowser. When you free the Giga Cat Bell from the black sludge, Mario can use it to become Giga Cat Mario. Or as I would like to call him, Super Saiyan Lion Mario. It's a really cool fight between Giga Cat Mario and Fury Bowser. Overall, the improvements to 3D World were good and adding a brand new adventure added more value to this game. I would recommend playing this with friends and family.

This is a really good game, the type with good music that makes you stop and listen to the music. The boss' are good, having diversity with the levels. I really like when you're hitting a question block (coin block) and a little 8-bit luigi pops out (yes, I found that on my own, without youtube). I really enjoy the levels that make me stop and get more lives ( like world crown-crown, at least six times on world 1-2) Overall this game is great, has great easter eggs, adn green stars that make you look all over the level and question what you're doing with your life. AND you can change your character from Mario, Luigi, Toad, and Peach, AND (!spoiler alert!spoiler alert!) Rosalina. Each character has their own special, Mario being balanced, Luigi being jump height, Toad (my fave) being speed, and Peach's stats being a little less that mario, but being able to float. (Spoiler) Rosalina has a spin attack, hitting enemies in range, and providing a(n) extra jump if used mid-air. AND (I need to remember this stuff, whenever I say AND It's me going back and adding to this review) there are a lot of power-ups, including the cat-bell (also on mario maker 2) turning your character to a cat. The colors are: red for mario,green for luigi, blue for toad, pink for peach, and dark blue for Rosalina. The cat bell lets you climb walls, and use claw-slash attack (Wow, it's super effective!). There also is the racoon (tanooki-suit, but I call it the racoon suit) which lets you float, like peach, and lets you use the tail attack (Wow, again, it's super effective!). Next is the double-cherry, which lets you add one more mario (your character) to your total (I think you can have a max of... 6?). Next is the Giant Mushroom. It grows your character into a giant for a small amount of time. There are the fire flower and boomerang flower, one lets you throw boomerangs, and the other lets you throw fire. There are a lot more, but first, there's the super bell, turns you into the cat bell, but when you ground-pound you turn into a golden cat statue and start getting coins. Oops, I forgot about the mushroom, and 1-up mushroom. I shouldn't have to explain. I will stop there, there is A LOT more stuff in this game, lots of power-ups that I didn't say. ALSO there are 12 worlds, the first 8, then you go into space for the next three, then you go to world crown, containing the single-most hardest level in the game.

This is classic 3D Mario at its best. The additional content is a plus but not worth full retail if you’ve played previous versions.

Another amazing tittle for super Mario brothers. This one is also on my top list, this is a must if you love Mario games.
