Hands On We've Played Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, And Here's What We Think So Far
Cat's entertainment?
When it started to become clear that Nintendo was porting many of its Wii U games to the Switch, a lot of fans naturally hoped that Super Mario 3D World would be one of the games making the jump.

About The Game
>Power up, team up, one up to save the Sprixie Kingdom!
Pounce and climb through dozens of colorful courses! Mario (and his friends) can use a variety of power-ups like the Super Bell, which grants catlike abilities like climbing and scratching. Team up with up to three other players locally or online to reach the goal and see who can get a high score.
Explore a seamless feline world in the new Bowser’s Fury adventure
Free-roaming Super Mario gameplay makes a return in this brand-new adventure. Bowser has become gargantuan and lost all control! Explore Lake Lapcat and its islands, complete objectives to collect Cat Shines, and team up with Bowser Jr. to bring his big, bad dad back to normal. Just watch out for Bowser’s island-wide attacks.
New and improved features pounce in
The Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury game features the same great co-op gameplay, creative levels and power-ups as the original game, but with added improvements. In the Super Mario 3D World part of the game, characters move faster and the dash powers up more quickly. Both adventures support the newly added Snapshot Mode—pause the action to get the perfect shot, apply filters, and decorate with stamps!
In Super Mario 3D World, choose from Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Toad and set off to save the Sprixie Kingdom. Each character has a distinct playstyle—Luigi can jump extra high and Peach can float for a short time. Rosalina is also available as a playable character later in the game! Jump, dash, and pounce to reach the goal while collecting Green Stars, coins and power-ups.
Collect stamps throughout your adventure in Super Mario 3D World and use them in Snapshot Mode (in both Super Mario 3D World and the Bowser’s Fury adventure) to create masterpieces to share with friends and family.
In Bowser’s Fury, Mario arrives on Lake Lapcat and is confronted with a rampaging Bowser! Join forces with Bowser Jr. and venture through an interconnected world made of cat-themed…well, everything. Enemies, flowers, and even birds take on a feline form.
Need some extra assistance bringing Bowser out of his frenzied, furious state? Another player can take control of Bowser Jr. and help out by attacking enemies and storing power-ups. Two sets of claws are better than one!

@Slowdive Thank you! I was wondering how good it is. Also glad to see a comment from a Wii U owner who is happy that it's coming to Switch.
LEAKED INFO: Nintendo power podcast, Mario 35 anniversary edition: And now with Bowser’s fury , you can play online multiplayer! SERIOUSLY I HEARD THIS!
Super Mario 3D World is my favorite Super Mario game, I have no idea why maybe jrs because its was one of the few titles I stuck with on the Wii U but this game is just above every other Mario game and with Bowsers Fury being added (which seems to be like a dungeon type extra gane) that's just an extra plus
Bowser’s fury looks cool but I’m not spending $80 on a game I already have and I beat it!!
I'm gonna buy this because
A. I never played 3D world on Wii U
B. I need screenshots of super sayian mario and god slayer bowser
I NEED THIS SOON
I CANT WAIT TO PLAY THIS WITH JASON
what happened to bowser
This game was so fun they made mario 3d world even better how?! also theres bowsers fury a openworld mario game its short but awesome hope nintendo makes more of those!
