Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury - Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch Lite

I'm 100% impressed with this port... I always thought Super Mario 3D World on the Wii U looked Hazey and now seeing it on the Nintendo Switch.... I realize I was right because, it looks a thousand percent better on the Switch! It's so beautiful and vibrant. I always said Nintendo needed to port this over since Day 1 and I'm happy they finally did.

Tons of fun with this game. A very good port from the WiiU version.

Super Mario 3D World is a classic Wii U title that is now on Nintendo Switch. For those who don’t own a Wii U or never played this Mario title, now’s your chance. This time with another adventure called Bowser’s Fury. Plot: Mario, Luigi, Peach and Toad are out enjoying a nightly walk when they spotted a broken clear pipe. Mario and Luigi use their super plumbing and fixed it when they spot a bunch of items flying out and a pixie who is in peril. She tells Mario and the gang that Bowser has captured her other pixie friends and took over the Pixie Kingdom. It’s up to Mario, Luigi, Peach and Toad to rescue the Pixies and Pixie Kingdom from Bowser’s clutches. Gampeplay: like every other Mario game, you control Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Toad through eight worlds jumping on enemies, enter pipes, collect coins for 1ups,gain power ups, and reach the goal before time runs out. And like in Super Mario Bros. 2, (US version), each character has their own stats. Mario is all round, Luigi can jump higher, Toad can run faster and Peach can float for a brief moment. The power ups like the Fire flower, Super Leaf, starman and Boomermang flower return with two new power ups such as the Super Bell that transform Mario and the gang into cats which allows them to climb walls to hard to reach platforms, scratch and pounce enemies. Along the way, there are three green stars which will unlock new levels and the games’ progress. And stamps that you can decorate the levels or World map with via Snapchat mode. But, there is another new adventure called Bowser’s Fury. In this adventure, Mario embarks on a new world filed with islands and cats and Bowser Jr who is upset that his father Bowser has gone to powerful with darkness and it’s up to Mario to save him by collecting items called Cat Shines. Like Mario 64, Sunshine, Galaxy and Odyssey, you control Mario in an open filled world exploring new islands, find secret locations and collecting Cat Shines by solving puzzles or go through platforms. Also, Bower Jr. will help Mario by defeating enemies and paint secret drawings to reviel hidden pipes, helpful items and hidden Cat Shines. But, you can’t wander around too long, as when it rains, Bowser appears shooting fireballs and fire lasers at Mario. In order to stop showing up, you must find a Cat shine or grab the giant Cat Shrine bell that will transform Mario into a Super Sayan Fury Cat Mario and fight one on one with a Bowser in a Kaiju style battle. Find all the Car Shines and save Bowser Jr’s father and the Cat Island. As a Mario fan, this is a must have for your Switch if you never owned the game or owned a Wii U, 3D World has the original Mario formula with simple platforming, and power ups with new surprises. Bowser’s Fury is another great Mario adventure using the Mario 64 Collect-A-Thon trope with power ups that you can use anytime you want. Grab your cat suit and get your claws on this purrrrfect Mario game. I give Mario 3D World+ Bowser’s Fury a 10 out of 10

This game is a lot of fun and especially fun in multiplayer. I have played both locally and online with friends and both times were very seamless and a blast with everyone. You can select which characters you play as OR do a random assignment each world so there’s no worry about it being random all the time as I’ve read in another review. It was actually best we assigned ourselves as one of my friends is color blind. This made it easier for him to play as Toad or Peach since they look completely different from Mario and Luigi. I am beyond impressed with Bowser’s Fury though. I played and beat Super Mario 3D and went straight to BF with some hesitations. However I’m glad I stuck with it because I honestly had a lot of fun with the gameplay. It’s one big open world which was executed pretty well! Each island is “a world” with its own goals for Cat Shines (this game’s stars) and there isn’t a need to go back to a main area to bounce into a new world. All you have to do is go to a different island! Also the mechanic of Bowser appearing at various times was a good touch to the gameplay. Overall, I was impressed with it. I’m hoping future Mario installments utilize the concept of Bowser’s Fury. Definitely recommend. 2 people found this helpful

Tons of fun with or without friends. It's basically just a traditional 2D Mario game but in 3D. The levels feel like they are designed the same way and just converted into 8 directions rather than 4. 4 different characters each with their own abilities. Mario is the jack of all trades down the middle. Luigi jumps higher but is a little unwieldy to control sometimes. Peach can float. Toad is speedy but can't jump as well. The inspiration for their abilities of course comes from Mario 2 but they are not exactly the same (especially Toad). Lots of replayability because you need to finish courses with each character to get credit to 100% the game. Bowser's Fury mode is fun solo or co-op, but be aware it does have a sort of time limit in that Bowser gets tougher as time goes on. Eventually you will HAVE to deal with him and retry later for more pickups. If you're a fan of Mario, then you're sure to enjoy this.

I am currently about halfway through the game and it has been enjoyable. The difficulty level is a little lower than Super Mario Bros U Deluxe, but I was looking for a game that was more fun than challenge. Some levels are difficult, especially if your goal is to get all 3 green stars and the stamp. There are a few levels that I gave up trying to get all three stars :-) I like that there are basically no consequences for running out of lives. One of my favorite parts of other games such as Mario Odyssey or BOTW is that you can die without having to redo levels or lose your progress. I like to throw my character at different situations and experiment with different moves that often result in dying. If I am too concerned about "lives", then I end up playing too safe and won't attempt riskier moves. With this game, I don't worry about the lives. Also, if you attempt a level enough times you get a special suit that protects from enemy attacks, although you still die if you fall off the map :-) Unfortunately I haven't been able to try playing with other players. I do wish the game had an online function to pair with random players online. I have a nostalgic connection to all things Mario, but this game would be fun for younger players too.
