'''Fury Bowser''' (referred to as "'''the beast'''" by the [[Giga Bell]]s and the [[Lighthouse (Bowser's Fury)|lighthouses]] throughout [[Lake Lapcat]]) is a form that [[Bowser]] takes in the ''Bowser's Fury'' campaign of ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]''. In this form, Bowser becomes a gigantic ''{{wp|kaiju}}'', being the largest physical form he has ever taken, surpassing even [[Giant Bowser]] in size. Similarly to [[Black Bowser]] from ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', Bowser enters this form when he is corrupted by black [[goop]], which causes his skin to become entirely black in color, complete with glowing yellow eyes without pupils. In contrast, his hair glows a bright red, while the center of his carapace and the tips of his shell spikes glow orange and red. It is implied by [[Bowser Jr.]]'s paintings, both when [[Mario]] first encounters him and in the credits, that the form was unintentionally caused by Bowser Jr. painting his father black and angering him.

In comparison to his normal self, his body is much larger than his head, his tail and shell spikes are somewhat longer, he has more spikes on his arm bands, and he has more defined pectoral muscles; the lattermost trait is shared by Bowser's appearances in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series. Compared to Bowser's normal roar and even the likes of Dark Bowser's or [[Dry Bowser]]'s roars, Fury Bowser's roar is much louder and deeper, and has a reverberating effect.

During Fury Bowser's rampage, he will target Mario with large beams of fire known as fury blasts,<ref>''Bowser's Fury'' in-game text from the [[Lighthouse (Bowser's Fury)|lighthouses]]. "''If you want to avoid the beast's fury blasts, find some cover to hide behind. There are also [[Fury Block|special blocks]] on each island that can only be broken by fury blasts. Try to find them when disaster strikes. They may be hiding something!''"</ref> which will destroy the spikes upon contact (the golden ones leaving behind coins). These blasts will sweep across Lake Lapcat with a very long range, but can be avoided by hiding behind walls or the other objects spawned during the rampage. Additionally, they are the only attack capable of destroying [[Fury Block]]s; to show this, the Bowser [[emblem]]s on the blocks glow red during the rampage. Fury blasts can be dodged entirely if, while in water, Mario [[Ground Pound]]s, activates [[Lucky Cat Mario]], or uses Plessie's dive move, which sends him underwater to dodge the blast while it moves over him. Hiding behind any solid wall will also protect Mario from damage. Fury Bowser uses this move at the beginning of the game when Mario is near the first [[Cat Shine]].

Fury Bowser uses several different attacks during these fights. He may shoot fire blasts while moving his head back and forth, which Mario must jump over, flee from or duck under in order to avoid damage. He can also dig into the ground to summon many much larger [[Disaster Spike]]s, which will fall onto the ground in areas denoted by flashing red markers. These Disaster Spikes can be grabbed and thrown by Mario; if one makes contact with Fury Bowser, then he will retract into his shell and flip over. Sometimes, he will enter his shell and roll towards Mario on his side; if Giga Cat Mario claw swipes or runs into his carapace while he does this, he will also flip over. Finally, Bowser can enter his shell, jump up and aim at Mario, with a red circle appearing in the place he is set to land; once he does, a shockwave of fire emerges from him and he is flipped over. In later fights, he uses this attack three times in quick succession before flipping over. In later fights, Fury Bowser gains additional attacks, such as breathing a ring of huge fireballs and summoning gigantic [[Kick Bomb]]s that can be deflected back at him to flip him over. His rolling attack will also be repeated multiple times in quick succession when used.  

If Fury Bowser's shell is flipped over at any point, his carapace will temporarily become vulnerable to [[Ground Pound]]s. Doing this successfully will cause massive damage. In multiplayer, [[Bowser Jr.]] can also attack him in this state, though it deals significantly less damage. Fury Bowser also can be claw swiped by Giga Cat Mario at any time, but this only does a small amount of damage, and if Giga Cat Mario claws on him when his shell is flipped, he will immediately get up and stomp on the ground to send Mario away. A red health bar is above Fury Bowser and shows how much remaining health he has; during his first battle, it takes a total of three Ground Pounds to deplete his health bar completely. If Giga Cat Mario is hit by one of his attacks, then he will turn into a gigantic version of [[Super Mario (form)|Super Mario]]; if he is hit again, then he will turn into a gigantic version of [[Small Mario]]. However, the Giga Bells will respawn infinitely on their pedestals, allowing Mario to collect them and turn back into Giga Cat Mario.
