Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

This game is a great game that is appropriate for a huge age group. The levels of difficulty vary abd i was able to complete most of them by myself with no help (first time playing mario). The combo 2-games in one aspect is great as it keot my attention and when i was stuck on one, i pkayed the other and had just as much fun!

Well done port of a game a lot of people did not get to play on the Wii U. Add in an extra storyline and completely new content with Bowser’s fury and this game does not disappoint. I complain sometimes about Nintendo spending so much time doing ports like super Mario 3-D All-Stars which was fun but disappointing in a few ways including the lack of graphics updates. Nintendo knocked this one out of the park however. It’s a polished refresh of an already excellent game that the whole family can play together.

Such a fun game! We love the multiplayer option to play with family and friends

I decided to double dip and buy this game again since they added fury to it. I also own for wiiU. I remember when this game initially came out I was disappointed that there was not going to be another Mario galaxy or something of that nature. I’m glad I gave this game a try. It feels like a 2d Mario game but 3D. Great level design, lots of fun, single or multiplayer, ways to speed run and get more of a challenge, good music and sound effects, and awesome power ups. The weakest part of game would be bosses. Though we are not talking dark souls so it’s okay. I recommend.

Two different campaigns showcasing two different styles of 3D platforming in one. The main game, 3D World, takes you and up to 3 friends on an adventure across the Sprixie Kingdom in the classic level based Mario formula. Bowser’s Fury is a single player adventure on Lake Lapcat, though a second player can tag along with a more simplistic character. Lake Lapcat is one giant open world, where players must collect enough Shines to defeat Bowser’s Fury

A classic game that always exceeds our expectations.

Enjoy playing this with my fiance. Its is very entertaining and we enjoy all things mario.

If you never played the original Super Mario 3D World on the Wii U, then this game becomes a must buy. If you experienced the game before, then you will have to decide if double dipping is worth the price. Bowser's Fury is an excellent little add on adventure, but I don't think it is worth the asking price just for that. However if you want to scratch an itch for great multiplayer Mario platforming with the added benefit of Bowser's Fury, then you might want to give this a go. Definitely perfect for those who skipped the Wii U.

Mario 3D World has been ported from the Wii U with some bells and whistles. The controls are more responsive and the game runs faster. You can use cat Mario and Peach Amiibo in the game for power-ups. Once you beat the main game there is a ton of post content including a Luigi version of the arcade Mario Bros game. The real star of this package is Bowser's Fury. Open world Mario is something I didn't know I ever wanted till now. This shorter game is full of fun ideas and surprises that makes me hopeful for future games.

It’s classic Mario with a twist. This game was originally released with the Wii U and finally has made it’s way to the Switch. Although the main game is the same. They added on an additional game Bowser’s Fury. The new game is quick to get into as it’s an classic Mario but in an open world format. The game is short but I can see them building on this for the next Mario game. I say pick it up especially if you love Mario!

My kid’s been glued to this game for hours—and I totally get why. It’s fun, colorful, and packed with action. Hearing the laughter and excitement makes it 100% worth it.

My son was very happy to finally get his game from the store. He's enjoying this game everyday.

This is actually two games in one package. There is Super Mario 3d World. And also Bowsers Fury. 3D World is a rerelease from the Nintendo WiiU. The other(Bowsers Fury) is only available in this package. Bowsers Fury is a completely open world Mario game.... and is easily one of the best!!!

Excellent Game! The best feature for this re-release, is the addition of 4 player action with your friends! That is honestly the best! Also, they went out their way to include a whole new 1 player adventure within Bowser's Fury, a very interesting take on this games mechanics with several of Mario's Power Ups. It makes it very Mario Odyssey/Galaxy like, but with 3D mechanics, and its open world!

I played 3D World on Wii U, so I knew what to expect on that front. It's a little bit faster and a little bit prettier. Still one of the best 3D Marios imo. Bowser's Fury is really neat! It's basically an open world version of 3D World, if that sounds like something you'd be into. The coolest part to me was being able to have back-up power ups that you can switch to whenever you want!

Kids love this game, play for hours and entertain.

Really fun game. Nice graphics and realy easy to play. Lots of levels from start to finish. Really amazing game play
