Bowser's Fury
Bowser's Fury is a new standalone adventure included in the game. It stars Mario and Bowser Jr. working together to save an island inhabited by cats called Lake Lapcat from Bowser who appears to have been corrupted by an unknown dark power causing him to transform into the gargantuan Fury Bowser. 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. At random time intervals, Fury Bowser terrorizes the level by breathing large beams of fire. He will continuously attack Mario for a period of time before falling back into slumber. In the center of the island is a Giga Bell, also corrupted by the dark substance, which can only be activated with the power of light during encounters with Fury Bowser. Lake Lapcat 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 makes use of Cat Mario's abilities.

In the intro to this mode, Mario is walking around a grassy field when a puddle of black goo appears, which then grows. Mario falls in, and lands in a rainy Lake Lapcat, falling head-first into a large footprint left by Bowser.

New playable character
In single player, Bowser Jr. will act as an AI controlled partner, but can be played with a second player as well.

Cat variations
While Bowser's Fury does not seem to introduce many new enemies, all of the enemies currently in the game are seen with cat aesthetics, such as cat ears, fur, and a tail, though unlike Cat Goombas and Cat Bullet Bills, their cat appearances are only aesthetic changes, not gaining any new abilities. As such, the Cat Goombas here behave like regular Goombas, and have their standard brown coloring.

Other new features

 * Plessie has the ability to dive underwater before jumping. There are also new visual effects for its high jump, and can also be performed in single-player, whereas in multiplayer, all players must jump at the same time to activate it.

References to other games

 * Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker: Mario attempting to flutter jump to avoid getting sucked into the black paint in the opening of Bowser's Fury is similar to how Captain Toad attempted to flutter jump after getting knocked away by Wingo at the end of Chapter 2 of this game.
 * Super Mario Odyssey: Snapshot Mode returns from his game. Additionally, Mario's animation when he collects a Cat Shine resembles the animation when he collects a non-story related Power Moon in this game.
