List of Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury glitches

This is a list of glitches in the game Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury. Though most new glitches apply to the new Bowser's Fury campaign, several glitches present in the original Super Mario 3D World campaign also return.

For a list of glitches found in the original game, see here. All glitch names are conjectural unless otherwise noted.

Bowser Jr. Flies Off
If the player uses the touch cursor to send Bowser Jr. towards a stationary, there is a small chance that he follows it as it flies into the sky, going far beyond the distance he normally is from Mario. He then attempts to warp back to Mario, eventually doing so.

Clawswipe Colosseum Out of Bounds
It is possible to enter a small out-of-bounds area in Clawswipe Colosseum by having Mario jump and clip into a specific corner at the front of the colosseum.

Duplicated Cat Shine
If the player views a Cat Shine from the side or a more specific angle, they may occasionally see it overlap, indicating two.

Duplicated Propeller Box
Sometimes Mario receives two Propeller Boxes rather than one, this being visible as Mario runs in a random manner.

Dive With Any Item
It is possible to view a diving animation for Mario in any power-up form. As Cat Mario or Lucky Cat Mario, the player must have Mario dive right after selecting a different item from item storage. If successful, Mario receives the item shortly after beginning his dive, with the diving animation continuing regardless of Mario's new power-up form. Most likely due to the appearance of the Cat Suit, Mario's hands appear somewhat though noticeably larger during this time.

Edge Stuttering
If Mario Ground Pounds on the very edge of a button that triggers a battle, he repeatedly stutters until the battle begins.

Frame Perfect Transformation Cat Shine
If Mario collects a Cat Shine as soon as he begins transforming, he is shown frozen in the air instead of doing his regular pose.

Fury Bowser Stuck
It is possible to temporarily freeze Fury Bowser during a battle as Giga Cat Mario. The player must lure Fury Bowser onto one side of the Slipskate Slope island and have him perform his Ground Pound attack before heading to the other side. Eventually, Fury Bowser attempts to roll toward Mario but becomes stuck on the bridge. This continues until Mario lures him away to a different location.

Goomba on Air
If a Goomba from a Goomba Tower lands on Bowser Jr., it remains in the air for a short period of time before falling again.

Hit the Rabbit Without Hitting it
Extremely rarely, Mario may catch a Rabbit while he is far away from it.

Ice Momentum Glitch
As the ice momentum glitch returns in both the main story and the side mode, Mario may crouch while moving repeatedly on an icy surface to gain rapid momentum, allowing him to launch across far distances. Performing this with a Propeller Box even causes the box to disappear from its original location. However, if the player is playing with a single Joy-Con, they will continuously crouch instead.

Infinite Super Star Music
If Mario takes damage by standing in black goop, then collects a Super Star while still standing in the goop, the invincibility music plays non-stop while Mario does not actually become Invincible Mario.

Missing an Item
If Mario selects an item from the item storage right before collecting a Cat Shine, the power-up drops to the ground rather than moving towards him.

Music Stops Suddenly
If Mario exits a bonus room, there is a chance that the music may stop playing completely. The music plays again when he collects a Cat Shine.

Plessie Makes a Splash
If the player jumps repeatedly and quickly while on Plessie while moving against certain walls, it may start to splash frantically.

Snowball Slide
If Small Blue Toad Long Jumps into a Snowball, he sits down and slides right while holding the Snowball. He will be unable to jump and will continue gaining momentum while moving. This glitch can be canceled by letting go of the Snowball.

Teleporting Rabbit
If the player uses the touch cursor to send Bowser Jr. towards a Rabbit from a far distance and he misses, the rabbit teleports continuously until Bowser Jr. moves away from it.

Water Hides Clear Pipe
In Champion's Road, the moving area of water draws itself over the Clear Pipe leading to the Ring Burners section, making it more difficult for players to see and enter the Clear Pipe. This glitch is never seen in the original Wii U version of Super Mario 3D World.
