Bowser's Fury
Bowser's Fury is a new mode to this game. It stars Mario and Bowser Jr. working together to save an unnamed area from Bowser who appears to have been corrupted by some unknown dark power. The lighthouses on the island are covered in a black ink-like substance, similar to the black paint from Paper Mario: Color Splash. The waters are also covered in this substance as well as having large spiked pillars sticking out of it. In the center of it all lies Bowser's shell.

Features

 * The new area for this mode takes place on an island inhabited by cats and features lighthouses. In the center is a giant dormant Super Bell, which can only be activated with the power of light. The area appears to be sandbox-styled similar to Super Mario Odyssey, and Mario can run around the island, climb up the lighthouses, and explore the surrounding waters with Plessie. This place will make use of Cat Mario's abilities.
 * Bowser Jr. makes an appearance as an ally. His unique abilities include being able to fly with his Junior Clown Car, perform a Ground Pound, and use his Magic Paintbrush to paint on question marks on walls to reveal hidden power-ups. It is unknown if he will be a new playable character or an AI controlled partner.
 * It is also unknown if Bowser's Fury will be single-player or multiplayer or if Luigi, Peach, Toad, and Rosalina will appear in the mode.
 * New cat variations of enemies are featured, though unlike Cat Goombas and Cat Bullet Bills, their cat appearances are only aesthetic changes, not gaining any new abilities. Enemies and bosses like this include:
 * Cheep Cheeps
 * Spikes
 * Piranha Plants
 * Conkdors
 * Stingbies
 * Boomerang Bros
 * Biddybuds
 * Goombas, though they behave like regular Goombas and keep their brown color scheme instead of having yellow fur and the diving ability.
 * Pom Pom
 * There is a giant variation of the Super Bell with whiskers, which turns Mario into a giant variation of Cat Mario, slightly resembling a lion.
 * The island introduces a red variation of the Jump Panel.
 * A new stage gimmick involves Mario performing a handstand on it, similar to Bell Trees, before springing off into the distance.
 * Plessie has the ability to dive underwater before jumping. There are also new visual effects for his high jump, and can also be performed in single-player, whereas in multiplayer, all players must jump at the same time to activate it.
 * Giant gold blocks appear, which can be broken by Bowser's fire to reveal a bunch of coins.
 * This mode introduces an unnamed new species of cat characters.
 * When Bowser attacks the level, a darker variation of these cats make an appearance following Mario.
 * Rather than collecting Green Stars, the player collects medals that resemble a cat's head. Additionally, instead of a Goal Pole, there are sun-based collectibles with a cat's face on them, similar to Power Stars, Shine Sprites, and Power Moons.
 * The animation that Mario does when collecting the cat-sun based collectibles resembles the animation when collecting a non-story related Power Moon in Super Mario Odyssey.
 * A giant, dark, version of Bowser appears as the villain. He will terrorize the level by breathing fire.
