This game was involved in two [[My Nintendo]] missions related to the [[Super Mario Bros. 35th Anniversary|''Super Mario Bros.'' 35th Anniversary]], both of which were necessary to complete to enter the My Nintendo Super Mario Bros. Sweepstakes: Wave 2. The first involved purchasing the game itself (physically or digitally), and the second involved finding five hidden stickers on the official website for the game. Four of these stickers were the main playable characters in [[Cat Suit]]s, and the fifth was a [[Super Bell]].

===Changes===
====Gameplay====
Several enhancements are made to the overall gameplay as compared to the original Wii U release. For example, all characters except Captain Toad move approximately 40% faster than in the original game, in both levels and the world map. Cutscenes that serve as the intermission between gameplay are able to be skipped. Various basic character movement and abilities have been enhanced. While [[Long Jump]]ing, characters bouncing off of an enemy results in them doing another long jump, rather than a standard [[jump]]. When jumping while facing a wall with no directional input, characters slide against the wall, enabling them to [[Wall Jump]]. [[Side Somersault]]s are able to be performed while walking. When carrying objects or other characters, players no longer are required to hold {{button|ns|y}}; pressing the button again is required to throw the object or player. Throwing distance for objects and characters has also been increased. Performing [[handstand]]s atop [[tree]]s has varying distances with directional inputs. When handstanding, characters turn clockwise if the player holds right, and counterclockwise if they hold left, which is reversed from the original version. When [[crouch]]ed on a slope, characters remain crouched for about one second before beginning to [[slide]] down it, rather than sliding the moment they touch the slope. When jumping while crouched and sliding down a slope, characters Long Jump instead of jump. [[Rosalina]] has some tweaks to her gameplay: her jump is slightly less floaty and she lands slightly faster. Due to the controls of carrying objects being altered, Rosalina can no longer [[spin]] while holding an object or player.
 
Gameplay improvements inspired from ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'' are implemented in the game. In addition to having four save files instead of three, they are saved, loaded, and copied in the same manner as ''Super Mario Odyssey''. Characters can now [[roll]] in midair, similar to the [[dive]], and they can perform a roll or [[Ground Pound#Super Mario 3D World|Ground Pound Jump]] immediately after landing from a [[Ground Pound]]. Characters can fall through upright [[Warp Pipe]]s when performing a Ground Pound through the center from above. Similarly, characters now enter sideways Warp Pipes immediately when rolling through the center without their momentum being interrupted. The sped-up variant of the Warp Pipe sound effect from ''Super Mario Odyssey'' is reused upon entering Warp Pipes these ways.
 
Due to the change in character speed, levels such as [[Conkdor Canyon]] have accommodations to their level objects. Some general improvements include changing behaviors and properties of various objects and camera controls. Rows of [[Coin]]s appear slightly more quickly than the original game. The camera no longer zooms if the player remains idle in some areas, such as the beginning of [[Piranha Creeper Creek]]. The idle zoom does not reset if the player presses {{button|ns|y}} as in the original release. If players die after collecting a [[Green Star]] or a Stamp, they keep it instead of having to collect it again. This does not apply to Captain Toad's levels. The [[Goal Pole]] now cannot be jumped over, as the character snaps to the top if they attempt to go past it.
 
Power-ups have additionally received improvements and alterations to their functionality. [[Green Shell]]s can no longer be occupied idly; the shell always slides in the direction the user is facing when entered. They also move faster than in the original game. [[Fireball]]s move faster and cover a longer distance. They also have a slightly different angle when thrown. The [[Cat Mario|Cat forms]] now allow characters to climb higher. Additionally, the form's claw dive continuously dives until the player touches the ground, similarly to ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', though it stops at extremely long distances. For characters in the [[Tanooki Mario|Tanooki Suit]], the window to perform a [[charge jump]] while crouched during a tail spin is much smaller. Most attempts are cancelled out by a normal charged jump instead. It is also more difficult to perform a Long Jump while using a tail spin, as it is usually cancelled with a normal Long Jump.
 
In the world map, the yellow path that connects levels is created more quickly when a new level is unlocked. After exiting a level, the player regains control of the characters quicker, as the game now saves in the background. Switching between the map, course list, and [[Stamp]] chart is now done by pressing the {{button|ns|L}} and {{button|ns|R}} buttons, rather than buttons on the screen.
 
Multiplayer mode now supports both local wireless and [[Nintendo Switch#Nintendo Switch Online|Nintendo Switch Online]] connections. Up to two players can play on a single system in local wireless mode. A minor gameplay alteration in multiplayer mode is the controls to enter a [[bubble]] to rendezvous with other players: it must be performed by pressing {{button|ns|l}} and {{button|ns|r}} together instead of either one alone. [[Captain Toad's Adventures]] can now be played with up to four players, unlike the original release where it was single-player only. For these levels, additional players play as the [[Toad Brigade]] members, with all players being able to select one to play as before a level begins. Similarly to normal levels, the game ranks each player's points in multiplayer in the Captain Toad levels as well, though the winning player does not get a [[crown]].
 
Improvements and alterations introduced in ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker (Nintendo Switch / Nintendo 3DS)|Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'' are retained in the Captain Toad levels for this game. Captain Toad's headlamp can now defeat [[Boo]]s and [[Peepa]]s, similarly to the [[Light Box]]. The pause menu now features the ability to retry a course, rather than having to return to the world map to do so.  In TV mode, gyroscopic pointer controls replace the touchscreen controls of the Wii U version, which are activated by pressing {{button|ns|r}}. An [[emblem]] of the character controlling the pointer is present. Due to the lack of a microphone on the Nintendo Switch console, [[Propeller Platform]]s have been replaced in every level where they appeared; they are replaced by [[Lift]]s in [[Captain Toad Goes Forth]] and [[Puffprod Peaks]], invisible [[Cloud Lift|clouds]] in [[Blast Block Skyway]], and [[Touchstone]]s in [[Captain Toad's Fiery Finale]].
 
''[[Luigi Bros.]]'' can only be unlocked by defeating [[Meowser]] in [[The Great Tower of Bowser Land]] of [[World Bowser]]; having ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'' save data on the system through ownership of ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]'' no longer unlocks it from the beginning. There is also an option to quickly exit to the title screen from Luigi Bros., as opposed to being forced to exit to the Home Menu.
 
Functionality for [[#amiibo|amiibo]] has been added. A complete list of functionality for them can be found [[Super_Mario_3D_World_%2B_Bowser's_Fury#amiibo|the corresponding section.]]
 
Due to the lack of [[Miiverse]] on the Nintendo Switch, Stamps are now used as decorations for the new [[Snapshot Mode]], which is similar to the one seen in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. Also due to this, [[Mii]]s no longer appear on the overworld or when revisiting a cleared stage.
 
====Aesthetic====
[[File:SM3DWBFUpdatedGraphics.png|200px|thumb|right|The updated graphics]]
The UI has received minor changes. The [[Item Storage]] has been revamped with a dark translucent circle and new button icons. The UI for lives and [[coin]]s also lacks the "×" icon between the images and numbers now. The interior shadows have also been removed. The pause menus have a different interface with the UI being smaller than in the original ''Super Mario 3D World''.
 
Some of the visual effects have changed in terms of character movement. In some shallow pools of water, such as the beginning area of [[Pipeline Lagoon]], characters will walk on the seafloor instead of floating on the surface of the water. While doing so, the camera stops following their movement. Another change to the underwater movement is that the cat scratch attack has a new animation when used underwater. All characters now have a brief start-up animation when beginning to walk unlike in the original ''Super Mario 3D World''.
 
*The typeface used for menus and general text has been changed from [[List of fonts#Seurat|Seurat]] to [[List of fonts#Rodin NTLG|Rodin NTLG]], which belongs to the same font family as the typeface used in ''Super Mario Odyssey'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.<ref>@Fontendou. (February 10, 2021). [https://twitter.com/Fontendou/status/1359555315654684674 Super Mario 3D World's Switch port switches out the font it uses in its UI, this time using Rodin NTLG Pro DB instead of Seurat Pro B. Bowser's Fury also uses Rodin NTLG Pro DB. Both fonts were produced by Fontworks.]. ''Twitter''. Retrieved February 14, 2021.</ref>
*On the world map, the [[Sprixie Princesses|Sprixie Princess]]' "Help!" text before a world's castle is completed has been changed to "HELP!"
*Button prompts are red with white characters, instead of white with red characters and outlines.
*Touch input prompts now show only a hand, instead of a hand with the [[Wii U#Wii U GamePad|Wii U GamePad]].
*[[Stamp]]s' pictures are now colored instead of black and white, and are more spread out on the stamps page.
*For the English version only, the game will always show the American spellings and namings for all subjects, rather than having different spellings and namings for certain subjects depending on the game's or console's region.
*When entering a Captain Toad's Adventures course, the loading screen is red with dark red spots instead of white with red spots.
*If the final [[Green Star]] in a [[Captain Toad]]'s Adventures course is collected as a small Toad, they will do the victory pose with their mouth opened instead of closed.
*A light source on top of the broken [[Koopa Chase]] in The Great Tower of Bowser Land does not appear.
**In the same level, the rain particle effect is slightly more visible.
*The [[Clear Pipe]] at the end of the swimming section in [[Champion's Road]] becomes invisible when within the moving body of water.
*In the original version, jingles in the following pitches play after collecting each [[Red Coin]] in a group of eight: C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G, G. This has been changed to a more natural progression: C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G.
 
==''Bowser's Fury''==
As a bonus addition to the port, ''Bowser's Fury'' was added as a new campaign, starring as its own standalone adventure.
 
===Story===
[[File:Bowser'sFuryPrologue.png|thumb|right|200px|Mario finds a trail of black paint just outside the castle]]
During a bright day, [[Mario]] is walking down a path in front of [[Peach's Castle]], near the same location where the characters find the broken [[Clear Pipe]] at the beginning of the main campaign. He notices small puddles of black [[goop]] and runs towards them, eventually stopping at a mass of black graffiti in the form of [[Shadow Mario]]'s logo. The graffiti expands to create a portal that Mario falls into, transporting him to [[Lake Lapcat]], where a rainstorm is occurring.
 
Shortly after Mario lands, he encounters [[Bowser]], who has become a larger and more powerful form known as [[Fury Bowser]]. Mario finds a [[Cat Shine]] in the surrounding area, which clears the goop off of a nearby [[Lighthouse (Bowser's Fury)|lighthouse]]. Fury Bowser is damaged slightly by the beam of light that shines from the lighthouse, and retreats into the [[Fury Sun]] in the middle of Lake Lapcat. Immediately afterward, several islands emerge from the water.
 
[[File:MarioVoidBowser'sFury.png|thumb|left|200px||Mario falls into the portal]]
After Fury Bowser retreats, the storm clears and Mario finds a panicking [[Bowser Jr.]], who explains why Bowser transformed. He shows Mario a picture he painted of his father and paints it black with his [[Magic Paintbrush]], showing that Bowser Jr. was the one who corrupted Bowser. He realizes that both he and his father are in trouble, reluctantly asking Mario to help him but clarifying this would not happen under normal circumstances. Mario agrees to do so, with Bowser Jr. joining him for the rest of the adventure.
 
[[File:Bowser'sFuryVictoryPose.png|thumb|right|200px|Mario and the kittens strike a victory pose in synchronization]]
Using the power of [[Cat Shine]]s located throughout Lake Lapcat, Mario can awaken dormant Giga Bells, which allow him to transform into [[Giga Cat Mario]] and fight Fury Bowser directly. After several battles, Fury Bowser expels all the black paint inside of and on him before being launched out of the water of the lake, but upon landing he transforms into [[Giant Bowser]], summoning all three Giga Bells and trapping them in a crystal ball to keep for himself. With the help of [[Plessie]], Mario rams into this ball to weaken and eventually break it, allowing both Mario and Plessie to collect all three Giga Bells at once. In this gargantuan form, they easily launch Giant Bowser into the sky by coming in contact with him.
 
Finally back to normal, Bowser falls from the sky and lands near Bowser Jr. and a few colorful [[kitten]]s. The former two both become excited; however, after Bowser notices Mario, now in his normal-sized [[Cat Mario]] form, he becomes angered and attempts to attack him as Bowser Jr. holds him back. Once Bowser is dragged away, Bowser Jr. pauses and threatens Mario himself before leaving. Mario shrugs before being nuzzled by the kittens. As they jump in the air and freeze, the camera zooms out, revealing that the ground on which the scene took place was the back of Giga Cat Plessie, the form Plessie took after collecting all three Giga Bells simultaneously. The credits then roll, featuring various paintings by Bowser Jr. that depict the story from his perspective.
 
===Gameplay===
The objective of the game is to free every island from the black goop that [[Fury Bowser]] is covered in by collecting [[Cat Shine]]s across Lake Lapcat. However, at slightly varying intervals of several minutes, Fury Bowser emerges from the Fury Sun and begins to rampage. When this occurs, a rainstorm begins throughout the area, [[Fury Stake]]s fall from the sky, and Fury Bowser attacks the entire lake with large beams of fire and fireballs. All [[kitten]]s and [[Oyaneko]] on Lake Lapcat also [[Fury Cat|become corrupted]], and attack Mario if he approaches them. Fury Bowser returns to the Fury Sun either after a brief time or if a Cat Shine is collected, as the Cat Shine powers a nearby lighthouse, and the brightness of this light forces Fury Bowser to retreat.
 
[[File:BowsersFury-CatShine-Collected.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Mario and Bowser Jr. collecing a Cat Shine]]
Extending the sandbox concept of ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', Lake Lapcat is a vast open-world setting, with more islands being gradually unlocked as Fury Bowser is defeated by Giga Cat Mario. Mario can run around the island, climb up lighthouses, and go between islands quickly by riding [[Plessie]], who teleports around the water to stay close to Mario. Every island makes usage of Mario's different power-ups and abilities. Throughout all islands, there are a variety of gameplay concepts, objects, and enemies from the main ''Super Mario 3D World'' game.
 
[[Giga Bell]]s are situated in three different areas of [[Lake Lapcat]], denoted according to the three major regions: the Lakeside, Ruins, and Wasteland. Each region contains four major islands, each with five Cat Shines, with various other Cat Shines located between major islands. The Giga Bells are corrupted due to the black goop, and can only be activated by collecting a certain amount of Cat Shines. When this happens, they will awaken during Fury Bowser's rampages and can be collected by Mario to become [[Giga Cat Mario]], who is then able to fight and damage Fury Bowser directly.
 
A minimum of 50 Cat Shines is required to finish the game. When 47 Cat Shines are collected, Fury Bowser begins a rampage that will not end until the player collects 50 Cat Shines, awakens the Giga Bells, and defeats Fury Bowser for the final time. Bowser then transforms into Giant Bowser, and Mario must ride Plessie across the entire lake to chase him down. While avoiding Giant Bowser's attacks, Mario can launch off of ramps with [[Dash Panel]]s on them to hit and break the crystal ball protecting the three Giga Bells.
 
[[File:SM3DWBF Giga Cat Mario Screenshot.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Giga Cat Mario clawing at Fury Bowser]]
After Giant Bowser is defeated and the credits are viewed, the game will return to the title screen. The first time it is resumed after this, Bowser Jr. tells Mario that he was relaxing with Bowser on the lake until the latter turned back into Fury Bowser, requesting that Mario collect more Cat Shines to help restore peace. To thank Mario for helping, he then grants the ability to warp to islands he has already visited, and marks the locations of new Cat Shines on the map. After this, Plessie permanently remains as Cat Plessie and gains the ability to carry kittens on its back.
 
If all one hundred Cat Shines are collected and Giant Bowser is defeated again, an additional painting by Bowser Jr. is shown after the credits; following this, Mario's [[Cat Mario|Cat]] form changes to look like a much smaller version of Giga Cat Mario, and Bowser Jr. becomes a cat version of himself. Fury Bowser's appearance is also different, as the orange sections of his spikes, belly, and eyebrows all turn white. However, all of these changes are purely visual.

In single-player, he is an AI-controlled helper; the player can choose to have him help a little, a lot, or not at all. Alternatively, he can be controlled by a second player in two-player mode.
|{{button|switch|leftstick}} + {{button|switch|y}} / {{button|switch|x}}
 
|{{button|switch|stick}} + {{button|switch|jc-left}}
Bowser Jr. cannot use power-ups, but instead can fly freely in his [[Junior Clown Car]], and use his [[Magic Paintbrush]] to attack enemies or reveal items from special [[graffiti]] on walls. Additionally, he can use a [[Ground Pound]] attack to defeat enemies from above, and he produces items the player selects from the [[Item Storage]].
 
In single-player, the player can use the cursor (with touch or gyro controls) to send Bowser Jr. to any location on the screen by selecting it. He will then swing his paintbrush once he reaches his destination. By doing this, the player can have Bowser Jr. collect items such as [[Cat Shine Shard]]s and [[coin]]s for them, as he will collect these items on contact. The only item Bowser Jr. cannot interact with that Mario can are Cat Shines, which must be contacted by Mario to register as collected. If Bowser Jr. moves too far away from Mario in single-player, he will automatically teleport back to Mario; in multiplayer, the second player can do this manually.
 
After all 100 Cat Shines are collected and the final boss is then beaten again, Bowser Jr. transforms into a [[Cat Mario|cat variation]] of himself, with his [[Junior Clown Car]] also gaining whiskers, though these are merely aesthetic changes.

|The residents of [[Lake Lapcat]]. If [[Mario]] approaches them while not in his [[Cat Mario|Cat]] form, then they will flee; however, if he is in one of these forms, then they will be affectionate towards him and follow him. If Mario picks one up, then it will scratch in front of itself, which can be used to attack enemies. If Mario mounts [[Plessie]] while holding a kitten after defeating the final boss at least once, then it will ride alongside him. If a kitten comes into contact with water or [[lava]], then it will instantly teleport back to its original location. When [[Fury Bowser]] is awake, kittens become [[Fury Cat|corrupted]] and attack Mario.

====Cat variations====
While ''Bowser's Fury'' does not introduce many new enemies, the enemies that come from ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' are seen with cat-like features, such as cat ears, fur, paws, and a tail, though unlike the [[Cat Goomba]]s in ''Super Mario 3D World'', these cat appearances are only aesthetic changes, without gaining any differing abilities (the only exceptions to this are [[Cat Bullet Bill]]s, which still home in on the player like their ''Super Mario 3D World'' counterparts). As such, the Cat Goombas in ''Bowser's Fury'' behave like regular Goombas, and have their standard brown coloring.

Mario must ride [[Plessie]] to damage and break the crystal ball Giant Bowser is protecting, which contains the three Giga Bells in Lake Lapcat.

|[[Raccoon Mario|Tail attack]]
|}
|{{button|switch|y}}
 
|{{button|switch|jc-left}}
===Locations===
[[Lake Lapcat]] is split into three main areas, each represented by a [[Giga Bell]]. Each Giga Bell is surrounded by four different islands, with each island containing a lighthouse that is covered in goop. By collecting the first Cat Shine of the island, the goop is removed and the lighthouse's light gets rid of the goop nearby, though after Fury Bowser attacks, they become covered in goop again.
 
There are a total of 100 [[Cat Shine]]s in the game, some of which can only be collected after beating the final boss. 60 of them come from the 12 main islands which each contain five Cat Shines, with three being standard missions, one being earned by finding the five [[Cat Shine Shard]]s hidden around the island, and another earned by having Fury Bowser break some [[Fury Block]]s to reveal it. When all five Cat Shines of an island are collected, a [[Spring Pole]] appears atop that island's lighthouse, with a cat variation of Mario's [[Goal Pole]] flag attached to it. 35 of the Cat Shines come from [[Lake Lapcat]] itself, which contains a multitude of Cat Shines that are separately counted from each other. The last five come from a special golden island called the [[Lucky Isle]], which appears post-game in one of five locations during a [[Fury Bowser]] rampage, but disappears when Fury Bowser becomes inactive.
 
Fury Bowser must be fought a total of five times to complete the story. To do so, [[Mario]] will need to use one of the three available Giga Bells, though after each fight with Fury Bowser, the number of Cat Shines needed to activate the Giga Bells increases, from 5 to 15 to 20 to 40 and finally to 50 Cat Shines. When the Giga Bell is used to defeat Fury Bowser, the next Giga Bell area will open up, revealing new islands.
 
On a side note, while [[Fur Step Island]] is the first location visited in the game, only the first Cat Shine can be obtained at first, while the other four can only be obtained once the main story is completed.
 
If Mario collects a Cat Shine on an island, leaves and returns at a later point, the layout will often be slightly changed to accommodate a newly available mission. This often involves new enemies, though the structure itself may change, as is the case for [[Clawswipe Colosseum]].
 
====Table of locations====

|align=center|[[File:SM3DWBF Giga Cat Mario Art.png|100px]]<br>'''[[Giga Cat Mario]]'''
|align=left|When playing [[Captain Toad's Adventures]] levels in multiplayer, any additional players control members of the Toad Brigade, who all share the same attributes as [[Captain Toad]] (aside from lacking a flashlight, which affects [[Captain Toad Plays Peek-a-Boo]]). Before a stage starts, all players are assigned Captain Toad (P1), [[Hint Toad]] (P2), [[Banktoad]] (P3), and [[Yellow Toad (Toad Brigade)|Yellow Toad]] (P4).
|Three [[Giga Bell]]s (giant versions of [[Super Bell]]s) are present in each region of [[Lake Lapcat]]. They are initially covered in goop, and require a certain amount of [[Cat Shine]]s to uncorrupt them and use them. When used, [[Mario]] transforms into Giga Cat Mario, a giant version of [[Cat Mario]] that resembles a ''{{wp|komainu}}''. This giant form enables him to fight Fury Bowser directly.
 
When all 100 Cat Shines are collected and the final boss is then defeated again, the appearance of Cat Mario changes to resemble Giga Cat Mario, though this is merely aesthetic and does not change Cat Mario's abilities. This change does not appear in ''Super Mario 3D World''.

===Changes===
{|border="1" cellpadding="2" style="text-align:left;border-collapse:collapse;margin-bottom:5px;width:100%;"
====Gameplay====
|-style="background:gold" align=center
Several enhancements are made to the overall gameplay compared to the original Wii U release. For example, all characters except Captain Toad move approximately 40% faster than in the original game, in both levels and the world map. Cutscenes that serve as the intermissions between gameplay are now able to be skipped. Various basic character movements and abilities have been enhanced: for example, characters bouncing off of an enemy while [[Long Jump]]ing now automatically perform another Long Jump, rather than a standard [[jump]], and characters jumping while facing a wall with no directional input now slide against the wall, enabling them to [[Wall Jump]]. Additionally, [[Side Somersault]]s are now able to be performed while walking. When carrying objects or other characters, players no longer are required to hold {{button|switch|y}}; pressing the button again is instead required to throw the object or character. Due to this change, [[Rosalina]] can no longer [[spin]] while holding an object or character. Throwing distance for objects and characters has also been increased. Performing handstands atop [[tree]]s has varying distances with directional inputs. When handstanding, characters turn clockwise if the player holds right, and counterclockwise if they hold left, which is reversed compared to the original version. When [[crouch]]ed on a slope, characters remain crouched for about one second before beginning to [[slide]] down it, rather than sliding the moment they touch the slope. When jumping while crouched and sliding down a slope, characters now perform a Long Jump instead of a regular jump. Rosalina has some tweaks to her gameplay: her jump is slightly less floaty and she lands slightly faster.
!Image
 
!Description
Gameplay improvements inspired from ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'' are implemented in the game. In addition to four save files now being present instead of three, they are saved, loaded, and copied in the same manner as in ''Super Mario Odyssey''. Characters can now [[roll]] in midair, similar to the [[dive]], and they can perform a roll or [[Ground Pound#Super Mario 3D World|Ground Pound Jump]] immediately after landing from a [[Ground Pound]]. Characters can also fall through upright [[Warp Pipe]]s when performing a Ground Pound through the center from above. Similarly, characters now enter sideways Warp Pipes immediately when rolling through the center without their momentum being interrupted. The sped-up variant of the Warp Pipe sound effect from ''Super Mario Odyssey'' is reused upon entering Warp Pipes in either of these ways.
|-style="background:gold;" align=center
 
!colspan=2 |'''New'''
To accommodate for the change in character speed, some levels, such as [[Conkdor Canyon]], have had minor alterations to the objects within them. Some general improvements include changing behaviors and properties of various objects and camera controls. Rows of [[coin]]s triggered to appear by collecting certain lone coins finish appearing faster than in the original game. The camera no longer zooms if the player remains idle in some areas, such as the beginning of [[Piranha Creeper Creek]], and the idle zoom does not reset if the player presses {{button|switch|y}} as it does in the original release. If players lose a life after collecting a [[Green Star]] or a [[Stamp]], they keep it instead of having to collect it again; this does not apply to Captain Toad's levels, however. The [[Goal Pole]] can no longer be jumped over, as characters now snap to the top if they attempt to pass it.

|Medals with [[Plessie]]'s face on them. They are found across the waters of Lake Lapcat, and start timed challenges when contacted that reward Mario with a Cat Shine if completed.
Power-ups have also received improvements and alterations to their functionality. [[Green Shell]]s can no longer be occupied idly; the shell always slides in the direction the user is facing when entered, but it can be stopped by the touch cursor. They also move faster than in the original game. [[Fireball]]s move faster and cover a longer distance. They also have a slightly different angle when thrown. The [[Cat Mario|Cat forms]] now allow characters to climb higher. Additionally, the form's claw dive continuously dives until the character touches the ground, similarly to ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', though it does stop eventually at extremely long distances. For characters in the [[Tanooki Mario|Tanooki Suit]], the window to perform a [[charge jump]] while crouched during a tail spin is now much smaller, and most attempts are cancelled out by a normal charged jump instead. It is also more difficult to perform a Long Jump while using a tail spin, as it is usually cancelled with a normal Long Jump.
|-style="background:gold;" align=center
 
!colspan=3 |'''Returning'''
In the world map, the yellow path that connects levels is created more quickly when a new level is unlocked. After exiting a level, the player regains control of the characters quicker, as the game now saves in the background. Switching between the map, course list, and Stamp chart is now done by pressing the {{button|switch|L}} and {{button|switch|R}} buttons, rather than buttons on the screen.
|-
 
|align=center|[[File:Coin Artwork - Super Mario 3D World.png|x70px]]<br>'''[[Coin]]'''
Multiplayer mode now supports both local wireless and [[Nintendo Switch#Nintendo Switch Online|Nintendo Switch Online]] connections. Up to two players can play on a single system in local wireless mode. In these modes, entering a [[bubble]] to rendezvous with other players can now only be performed by pressing {{button|switch|l}} and {{button|switch|r}} together instead of either one alone. [[Captain Toad's Adventures]] can now be played with up to four players, unlike in the original release where these levels were single-player only. For these levels, additional players play as the [[Toad Brigade]] members, with all players being able to select one to play as before a level begins. Similarly to normal levels, the game ranks each player's points in multiplayer in the Captain Toad levels as well, though the winning player does not get a [[crown]].
|Collecting 100 coins grants the player a [[Super Mushroom]], unless the player has not yet left [[Fur Step Island]] (prior to the 1.1.0 update, a random power-up would be generated upon getting 100 coins instead of only Super Mushrooms).
 
|-
Improvements and alterations introduced in ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker (Nintendo Switch / Nintendo 3DS)|Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'' are retained in the Captain Toad levels for this game. Captain Toad's headlamp can now defeat [[Boo]]s and [[Peepa]]s, similarly to the [[Light Box]]. The pause menu now features the ability to retry a course, rather than having to return to the world map to do so. In TV mode, gyroscopic pointer controls replace the touchscreen controls of the Wii U version, which are activated by pressing {{button|switch|r}}, and an [[emblem]] of the character controlling the pointer is present. Due to the lack of a microphone on the Nintendo Switch console, [[Propeller Platform]]s have been replaced in every level where they appeared; they are replaced by [[Lift]]s in [[Captain Toad Goes Forth]] and [[Puffprod Peaks]], invisible [[Cloud Lift|clouds]] in [[Blast Block Skyway]], and [[Touchstone]]s in [[Captain Toad's Fiery Finale]].  
|align=center|[[File:Coin Stack Artwork - Super Mario 3D World.png|x70px]]<br>'''[[Coin Stack]]'''
 
|Coin Stacks give the player several coins at once.
''[[Luigi Bros.]]'' can now only be unlocked by defeating [[Meowser]] in [[The Great Tower of Bowser Land]]; having ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'' save data on the system through ownership of ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]'' no longer unlocks it from the beginning. There is also now an option to quickly exit to the title screen from ''Luigi Bros.'', as opposed to being forced to exit to the Home Menu.
|-
 
|align=center|[[File:Coin Ring SM3DW Prima.jpg|x70px]]<br>'''[[Coin Ring]]'''
Functionality for [[#amiibo|amiibo]] has been added, accessed by pressing {{button|switch|left}}. A complete list of functionalities for them can be found in the corresponding [[#amiibo|section]].
|Coin Rings give the player three coins when passed through. They are mostly found in areas where riding Plessie is required.
 
|-
Due to the lack of [[Miiverse]] on the Nintendo Switch, [[Mii]]s no longer appear on the overworld nor when revisiting a cleared stage, and any mention of Miiverse has been removed. Stamps are now used as decorations for the new [[Snapshot Mode]], which is similar to the one seen in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''.
|align=center|[[File:Blue Coin SM3DW Prima.jpg|x70px]]<br>'''[[Blue Coin]]'''
 
|Blue Coins are coins generated from [[P Switch]]es. After one set of them is collected, another appears, and once all of them are collected, a Cat Shine appears.

}}
The user interface has received minor changes. The [[item storage]] has been revamped with a dark translucent circle and new button icons, and is now accessed by pressing {{button|switch|Down}}. The interior shadows and the "×" icon between the images and numbers in the UI for lives and coins have also been removed. The pause menus have a different interface, with the UI being smaller than in the original ''Super Mario 3D World''.
 
Some of the visual effects have changed in terms of character movement. In some shallow pools of water, such as the beginning area of [[Pipeline Lagoon]], characters now walk on the seafloor instead of floating on the surface of the water, and the camera stops following their movement while they are doing so. Another change to the underwater movement is that the cat scratch attack has a new animation when used underwater. All characters now have a brief start-up animation when beginning to walk that was not present in the original ''Super Mario 3D World''. If a [[Captain Toad's Adventures]] level is completed as a character in their [[Small Mario|small form]], their victory pose is with their mouth open, instead of closed as in the original game.
 
Some of the colors have been changed compared to the original game. Button prompts are red with white characters, as opposed to white with red characters and outlines. When entering a Captain Toad's Adventures level, the loading screen is red with dark red spots instead of white with red spots. The images of Stamps are now colored, rather than being black and white, and they are more spread out on the Stamps page.
 
A few visibility effects have been changed. A light source on top of Bowser's broken [[Bowser's Muscle Car|Muscle Car]] in [[The Great Tower of Bowser Land]] has been removed, and the rain particle effect in said level is now slightly more visible. At the end of the swimming section in [[Champion's Road]], the [[Clear Pipe]] becomes invisible within the moving body of water.
 
Changes have been made to how text and icons are presented. The typeface used for menus and general text has changed from [[List of fonts#Seurat|Seurat]] to [[List of fonts#Rodin NTLG|Rodin NTLG]], which belongs to the same font family as the typeface used in ''Super Mario Odyssey'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.<ref>Fontendo [@Fontendou] (February 10, 2021).

The English version of the game always shows the American spellings and namings for all subjects, rather than having different spellings and namings for certain subjects depending on the game's or console's region.


===Objects===
In the original version, jingles in the following pitches play after collecting each [[Red Coin]] in a group of eight: C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G, G. This has been changed to a more natural progression: C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G.

===Differences from ''Super Mario 3D World''===
==''Bowser's Fury''==
*''Bowser's Fury'' runs at a variable resolution in TV mode, which can drop to as low as 1280x720.
{{main|Bowser's Fury}}
**In handheld mode, the game runs at 30 frames per second.
As an addition to the port, ''Bowser's Fury'' is added as a new campaign, serving as its own standalone adventure.
*There are no lives in this campaign. Instead, a random power-up is given for every 100 [[coin]]s collected. The player loses 50 coins upon dying, similarly to ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''.
*The HUD for the coin count is placed in the bottom-left corner of the screen rather than the top-left.
*Instead of the [[Item Storage]] holding one item, [[Mario]] can store a maximum of five [[Super Mushroom]]s, five [[Super Bell]]s, five [[Fire Flower]]s, five [[Super Leaf|Super Leaves]], five [[Boomerang Flower]]s, and five [[Lucky Bell]]s. The [[Lucky Bell]] icon does not appear in the Item Storage until the player has stored at least one.
*The game's camera is fully controllable by the player.
*The game only supports 1-2 players instead of 1-4 players, and does not support online or local wireless play.
*Mario is the only playable character in single-player. In multiplayer, the first player must play as Mario and the second must play as Bowser Jr., who appears exclusively in the ''Bowser's Fury'' campaign.
*Mario has full 360-degree movement, instead of being restricted to eight directions.
*[[Plessie]] can turn around or stop moving, and can be dismounted at any time.
*Plessie has the ability to dive underwater before jumping. There are also new visual effects for its high jump, which can be performed in single-player instead of requiring multiple players to jump simultaneously.

Because [[Bowser Jr.]] and [[Fury Bowser]] had not yet been confirmed to appear in ''Bowser's Fury'', the ''Bowser's Fury'' section of the box art initially only contained the logo, while the section also took up a smaller portion of the box. Because of that, [[Cat Mario|Cat]] [[Luigi]] appears on the pre-release box, but not on the final box.

Though its specific purpose is not clear, it transforms Mario into a gigantic version of [[Super Mario (form)|Super Mario]], an identical state to when Giga Cat Mario takes damage. However, the Giga Mushroom's effect is under a time limit. While it may appear to be a more extreme version of the Mega Mushroom, one key difference is that Mario can still use other power-ups while in this form.<ref>Smashy. (2021, February 26).

Critical reception of ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury'' was mostly positive, with praise for the gameplay and creativity of both the original campaign and ''Bowser's Fury'', but criticism towards the stability of online multiplayer, the repetition of Fury Bowser's appearances and battles, and the performance of ''Bowser's Fury'' in handheld mode.

Cam Shea of {{wp|IGN}} rated the game 7/10, noting that ''Super Mario 3D World'' retained "the entertainment value from the fact that each level is typically built around a unique gameplay twist", but said that "the gameplay actually feels like a bit of an awkward fit for the presentation". They also called multiplayer "chaotic and fun, but also haphazard", and said that "3D World’s levels feel much more appropriate for one – or possibly two – players". When discussing ''Bowser's Fury'', they stated it was "quite cool seeing how the world is reinvented whenever Bowser blows his top", but they "did get a little tired of the constant interruptions", saying that "it quickly becomes apparent that fighting Bowser is an extremely repetitive way to restore the world".

Chris Scullion of {{wp|Gamer Network|Nintendo Life}} gave it a 10/10, saying the main campaign was "absolutely ''packed'' with ideas", but had issues with online multiplayer, explaining that "at the best of times there was some subtle lag (nothing major but enough to mess up the timing of some jumps) and at the worst of times there was more stuttering". They described ''Bowser's Fury'' as "sort of like what you’d get if you took a Super Mario 64 or Odyssey, shrunk its worlds down to tiny islands and put them all in a single large area, with no loading times or ‘hub world’ to separate them". They called the addition a "fun little side adventure", but noted that  "there isn’t enough variety in the Shine missions" and that "the performance... also leaves a bit to be desired".


Steve Watts of {{wp|GameSpot}} rated the game 9/10, calling both campaigns "a candy confection of fine-tuned platforming that marries some of the best elements of 2D and 3D Mario in two very different ways". They stated that online multiplayer was "a nice but not strictly necessary addition to the core game" that had "only the occasional moment of stutter". They called ''Bowser's Fury'' "the [''Mario''] series at its most experimental", but questioned "if this is the kind of experiment that would work outside the narrow parameters of Bowser's Fury and live on in other Mario games". Despite "occasional frustrations", they concluded that it was "a short-but-sweet and extremely zany curiosity".

*''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'': In ''Bowser's Fury'', the loading screen features ''Super Mario Bros.''-styled sprites of [[Small Mario|Small]] [[Mario]] (in his modern colors), [[Bowser Jr.]], [[Fury Bowser|Fury]] [[Bowser]], and [[Plessie]].
*''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'': [[Hint Toad]], [[Banktoad]], and [[Yellow Toad (Toad Brigade)|Yellow Toad]] are extra characters in the Captain Toad levels, wearing their outfits from this game. Additionally, their level clear animation is similar to their level clear animation from the Toad Brigade levels in the [[Bonus Episode]].
*''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'': A portion of the music of [[Scamper Shores]] references the start of this game's overworld theme.
*''[[Super Mario World]]'': The music that plays when Bowser emerges from the Fury Sun is an arrangement of Bowser's intro in this game's final battle. [[Plessie Medal]]s slightly resemble [[Dragon Coin]]s.
*''[[Super Mario 64]]'': The mission "Bully the [[Cat Mario|Cat]] [[Bully|Bullies]]" is a reference to the mission "[[Bully the Bullies]]" in both the title and the theme of knocking Bullies into lava. There are also missions where Mario must return calico [[kitten]]s to their [[Oyaneko|parents]], similar to the mission "[[Li'l Penguin Lost]]". Bowser laughs when Mario dies, just like in this game.
*''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'': Bowser Jr. is seen wielding his [[Magic Paintbrush]] from this game. Mario encounters [[Shadow Mario]]'s M graffiti on the ground during the intro cutscene. The way Mario chases the [[Fury Shadow]]s to get a [[Cat Shine]] is similar to how he has to chase Shadow Mario to get a [[Shine Sprite]] in this game. Likewise, Cat Shines themselves seem to reference Shine Sprites in name and function.
*''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'': Part of the ending theme of ''Bowser's Fury'' includes a short excerpt from "[[List of Super Mario Galaxy media#Boss Music|Enter Bowser Jr.!]]".
*''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'': Cat [[Boom Boom]]'s second fight is similar to Boom Boom's fight in {{world-link|s4|airship|Special 4-Airship}}, as they both take place on top of retractable spikes.
*''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'': [[Hint Toad]], [[Banktoad]], and [[Yellow Toad]] are extra characters in the Captain Toad levels, wearing their outfits from this game. Additionally, their level clear animation is similar to their level clear animation from the Toad Brigade levels in the [[Bonus Episode]]. [[Toadette]] also appears in ''Bowser's Fury'' using her appearance from this game.
<!--Do not include Paper Mario: Color Splash here, as that is not an intentional reference and very likely coincidental.-->
<!--Do not include Paper Mario: Color Splash here, as that is not an intentional reference and very likely coincidental.-->
*''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'': The structure of ''Bowser's Fury'' greatly resembles that of this game. Snapshot Mode and the map feature return from this game, and characters can [[Ground Pound|ground pound]] through upright pipes and roll into sideways pipes to enter them faster. 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.
*''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'': Snapshot Mode returns from this game, and characters can [[Ground Pound]] through upright pipes and roll into sideways pipes to enter them faster, with the resulting sped-up warp noise being reused from this game. Saving and loading games work the same way as in this game. Rolling in midair is similar to the [[dive]].
 
==References in other games==
*''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'': The [[Calico Parafoil]]'s design is a reference to the calico cats in ''Bowser's Fury''.
*''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'': Giga Cat Mario, Fury Bowser and kittens appear as spirits, first becoming available during a spirit board event themed after ''Bowser's Fury''.

Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury is an expanded port of Super Mario 3D World for the Nintendo Switch, released on February 12, 2021, as part of the 35th anniversary of Super Mario Bros. The Super Mario 3D World campaign now supports local wireless and online play with up to four players, both of which were absent from the original version. There is also a standalone campaign named Bowser's Fury, which takes place in an open-world area called Lake Lapcat. After Bowser Jr. paints Bowser with black goop, the latter turns into Fury Bowser. Mario must cooperate with Bowser Jr. to collect Cat Shines and use their power to activate lighthouses and Giga Bells, both of which enable them to gradually rid Fury Bowser and Lake Lapcat of goop.

This game was involved in two My Nintendo missions related to the Super Mario Bros. 35th Anniversary, both of which were necessary to complete to enter the My Nintendo Super Mario Bros. Sweepstakes: Wave 2; the first involved purchasing the game itself (physically or digitally), and the second involved finding five hidden stickers on the official website for the game. Four of these stickers were the main playable characters in Cat Suits, and the fifth was a Super Bell.

New playable characters[edit]

Toad Brigade
When playing Captain Toad's Adventures levels in multiplayer, any additional players control members of the Toad Brigade, who all share the same attributes as Captain Toad (aside from lacking a flashlight, which affects Captain Toad Plays Peek-a-Boo). Before a stage starts, all players are assigned Captain Toad (P1), Hint Toad (P2), Banktoad (P3), and Yellow Toad (P4).

A white and yellow striped bell similar to the Invincibility Leaf that can only be obtained by scanning the Cat Mario or Cat Peach amiibo. It gives characters a white Cat Suit, giving them the same abilities as their normal Cat forms as well as permanent invincibility. This form is similar to White Tanooki Mario and White Raccoon Mario.

Changes[edit]

Gameplay[edit]

Several enhancements are made to the overall gameplay compared to the original Wii U release. For example, all characters except Captain Toad move approximately 40% faster than in the original game, in both levels and the world map. Cutscenes that serve as the intermissions between gameplay are now able to be skipped. Various basic character movements and abilities have been enhanced: for example, characters bouncing off of an enemy while Long Jumping now automatically perform another Long Jump, rather than a standard jump, and characters jumping while facing a wall with no directional input now slide against the wall, enabling them to Wall Jump. Additionally, Side Somersaults are now able to be performed while walking. When carrying objects or other characters, players no longer are required to hold Y Button; pressing the button again is instead required to throw the object or character. Due to this change, Rosalina can no longer spin while holding an object or character. Throwing distance for objects and characters has also been increased. Performing handstands atop trees has varying distances with directional inputs. When handstanding, characters turn clockwise if the player holds right, and counterclockwise if they hold left, which is reversed compared to the original version. When crouched on a slope, characters remain crouched for about one second before beginning to slide down it, rather than sliding the moment they touch the slope. When jumping while crouched and sliding down a slope, characters now perform a Long Jump instead of a regular jump. Rosalina has some tweaks to her gameplay: her jump is slightly less floaty and she lands slightly faster.

Gameplay improvements inspired from Super Mario Odyssey are implemented in the game. In addition to four save files now being present instead of three, they are saved, loaded, and copied in the same manner as in Super Mario Odyssey. Characters can now roll in midair, similar to the dive, and they can perform a roll or Ground Pound Jump immediately after landing from a Ground Pound. Characters can also fall through upright Warp Pipes when performing a Ground Pound through the center from above. Similarly, characters now enter sideways Warp Pipes immediately when rolling through the center without their momentum being interrupted. The sped-up variant of the Warp Pipe sound effect from Super Mario Odyssey is reused upon entering Warp Pipes in either of these ways.

To accommodate for the change in character speed, some levels, such as Conkdor Canyon, have had minor alterations to the objects within them. Some general improvements include changing behaviors and properties of various objects and camera controls. Rows of coins triggered to appear by collecting certain lone coins finish appearing faster than in the original game. The camera no longer zooms if the player remains idle in some areas, such as the beginning of Piranha Creeper Creek, and the idle zoom does not reset if the player presses Y Button as it does in the original release. If players lose a life after collecting a Green Star or a Stamp, they keep it instead of having to collect it again; this does not apply to Captain Toad's levels, however. The Goal Pole can no longer be jumped over, as characters now snap to the top if they attempt to pass it.

The Propeller Platforms from the Wii U version (top) have been replaced with standard Lifts in the Nintendo Switch version (bottom).

Power-ups have also received improvements and alterations to their functionality. Green Shells can no longer be occupied idly; the shell always slides in the direction the user is facing when entered, but it can be stopped by the touch cursor. They also move faster than in the original game. Fireballs move faster and cover a longer distance. They also have a slightly different angle when thrown. The Cat forms now allow characters to climb higher. Additionally, the form's claw dive continuously dives until the character touches the ground, similarly to Super Mario Maker 2, though it does stop eventually at extremely long distances. For characters in the Tanooki Suit, the window to perform a charge jump while crouched during a tail spin is now much smaller, and most attempts are cancelled out by a normal charged jump instead. It is also more difficult to perform a Long Jump while using a tail spin, as it is usually cancelled with a normal Long Jump.

In the world map, the yellow path that connects levels is created more quickly when a new level is unlocked. After exiting a level, the player regains control of the characters quicker, as the game now saves in the background. Switching between the map, course list, and Stamp chart is now done by pressing the L Button and R Button buttons, rather than buttons on the screen.

Multiplayer mode now supports both local wireless and Nintendo Switch Online connections. Up to two players can play on a single system in local wireless mode. In these modes, entering a bubble to rendezvous with other players can now only be performed by pressing L Button and R Button together instead of either one alone. Captain Toad's Adventures can now be played with up to four players, unlike in the original release where these levels were single-player only. For these levels, additional players play as the Toad Brigade members, with all players being able to select one to play as before a level begins. Similarly to normal levels, the game ranks each player's points in multiplayer in the Captain Toad levels as well, though the winning player does not get a crown.

Improvements and alterations introduced in Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker are retained in the Captain Toad levels for this game. Captain Toad's headlamp can now defeat Boos and Peepas, similarly to the Light Box. The pause menu now features the ability to retry a course, rather than having to return to the world map to do so. In TV mode, gyroscopic pointer controls replace the touchscreen controls of the Wii U version, which are activated by pressing R Button, and an emblem of the character controlling the pointer is present. Due to the lack of a microphone on the Nintendo Switch console, Propeller Platforms have been replaced in every level where they appeared; they are replaced by Lifts in Captain Toad Goes Forth and Puffprod Peaks, invisible clouds in Blast Block Skyway, and Touchstones in Captain Toad's Fiery Finale.

Luigi Bros. can now only be unlocked by defeating Meowser in The Great Tower of Bowser Land; having New Super Luigi U save data on the system through ownership of New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe no longer unlocks it from the beginning. There is also now an option to quickly exit to the title screen from Luigi Bros., as opposed to being forced to exit to the Home Menu.

Functionality for amiibo has been added, accessed by pressing Left Button. A complete list of functionalities for them can be found in the corresponding section.

Due to the lack of Miiverse on the Nintendo Switch, Miis no longer appear on the overworld nor when revisiting a cleared stage, and any mention of Miiverse has been removed. Stamps are now used as decorations for the new Snapshot Mode, which is similar to the one seen in Super Mario Odyssey.

Aesthetic[edit]

The user interface has received minor changes. The item storage has been revamped with a dark translucent circle and new button icons, and is now accessed by pressing Down Button. The interior shadows and the "×" icon between the images and numbers in the UI for lives and coins have also been removed. The pause menus have a different interface, with the UI being smaller than in the original Super Mario 3D World.

Some of the visual effects have changed in terms of character movement. In some shallow pools of water, such as the beginning area of Pipeline Lagoon, characters now walk on the seafloor instead of floating on the surface of the water, and the camera stops following their movement while they are doing so. Another change to the underwater movement is that the cat scratch attack has a new animation when used underwater. All characters now have a brief start-up animation when beginning to walk that was not present in the original Super Mario 3D World. If a Captain Toad's Adventures level is completed as a character in their small form, their victory pose is with their mouth open, instead of closed as in the original game.

Some of the colors have been changed compared to the original game. Button prompts are red with white characters, as opposed to white with red characters and outlines. When entering a Captain Toad's Adventures level, the loading screen is red with dark red spots instead of white with red spots. The images of Stamps are now colored, rather than being black and white, and they are more spread out on the Stamps page.

A few visibility effects have been changed. A light source on top of Bowser's broken Muscle Car in The Great Tower of Bowser Land has been removed, and the rain particle effect in said level is now slightly more visible. At the end of the swimming section in Champion's Road, the Clear Pipe becomes invisible within the moving body of water.

Changes have been made to how text and icons are presented. The typeface used for menus and general text has changed from Seurat to Rodin NTLG, which belongs to the same font family as the typeface used in Super Mario Odyssey and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.[9] On the world map, the Sprixie Princess' "Help!" text before a world's castle is completed has been changed to "HELP!" During gameplay, touch input prompts now show only a hand, instead of a hand with the Wii U GamePad. The English version of the game always shows the American spellings and namings for all subjects, rather than having different spellings and namings for certain subjects depending on the game's or console's region.

In the original version, jingles in the following pitches play after collecting each Red Coin in a group of eight: C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G, G. This has been changed to a more natural progression: C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G.

Pre-release and unused content[edit]

Initial box art[edit]

Because Bowser Jr. and Fury Bowser had not yet been confirmed to appear in Bowser's Fury, the Bowser's Fury section of the box art initially only contained the logo, while the section also took up a smaller portion of the box. Because of that, Cat Luigi only appears on the pre-release box, rather than the final box.

Giga Mushroom[edit]

The Giga Mushroom's model

An unused power-up can be found in the game's data, named KinokoGiga, which translates to Giga Mushroom. It is an angry and larger variation of the Mega Mushroom, with a color-inverted cap. As no major changes or new power-ups were added to Super Mario 3D World alone, the Giga Mushroom was most likely intended for Bowser's Fury.[32]

Though its specific purpose is not clear, it transforms Mario into a gigantic version of Super Mario, an identical state to when Giga Cat Mario takes damage. However, the Giga Mushroom's effect is under a time limit. While it may appear to be a more extreme version of the Mega Mushroom, one key difference is that Mario can still use other power-ups while in this form. Also, the camera does not zoom out when Mario obtains the Giga Mushroom, so only his legs can be seen and not his full body.[33]

Reception[edit]

Critical response[edit]

Critical reception of Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury was mostly positive, with praise for the gameplay and creativity of both the original campaign and Bowser's Fury, but criticism towards the stability of online multiplayer, the repetition of Fury Bowser's appearances and battles, and the performance of Bowser's Fury in handheld mode.

Cam Shea of IGN rated the game 7/10, noting that Super Mario 3D World retained "the entertainment value from the fact that each level is typically built around a unique gameplay twist", but said that "the gameplay actually feels like a bit of an awkward fit for the presentation". They also called multiplayer "chaotic and fun, but also haphazard", and said that "3D World's levels feel much more appropriate for one – or possibly two – players". When discussing Bowser's Fury, they stated it was "quite cool seeing how the world is reinvented whenever Bowser blows his top", but they "did get a little tired of the constant interruptions", saying that "it quickly becomes apparent that fighting Bowser is an extremely repetitive way to restore the world".

Chris Scullion of Nintendo Life gave it a 10/10, saying the main campaign was "absolutely packed with ideas", but had issues with online multiplayer, explaining that "at the best of times there was some subtle lag (nothing major but enough to mess up the timing of some jumps) and at the worst of times there was more stuttering". They described Bowser's Fury as "sort of like what you'd get if you took a Super Mario 64 or Odyssey, shrunk its worlds down to tiny islands and put them all in a single large area, with no loading times or 'hub world' to separate them". They called the addition a "fun little side adventure", but noted that "there isn't enough variety in the Shine missions"and that "the performance... also leaves a bit to be desired".

Steve Watts of GameSpot rated the game 9/10, calling both campaigns "a candy confection of fine-tuned platforming that marries some of the best elements of 2D and 3D Mario in two very different ways". They stated that online multiplayer was "a nice but not strictly necessary addition to the core game" that had "only the occasional moment of stutter". They called Bowser's Fury "the [Super Mario] series at its most experimental", but questioned "if this is the kind of experiment that would work outside the narrow parameters of Bowser's Fury and live on in other Mario games". Despite "occasional frustrations", they concluded that it was "a short-but-sweet and extremely zany curiosity".

Reviews
Release Reviewer, Publication Score Comment
Nintendo Switch Cam Shea, IGN 7/10 "Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury packs a tonne of engaging gameplay, but neither component comes together as elegantly as it might have done. This is a solid option if you're craving more Super Mario for your Switch, but it’s not the moustachioed must-play I was hoping for."
Nintendo Switch Chris Scullion, Nintendo Life 10/10 "Super Mario 3D World remains one of the better linear Mario games, and anyone playing it for the first time is in for an absolute treat. Add to that the curious bonus adventure that is Bowser's Fury and you've got a package that provides great value for money. It isn't without its flaws, but most of these (online multiplayer, repetitive missions in Bowser's Fury) relate to the new additions; the main game itself remains as pure and perfect as it was seven years ago. Had it just been Super Mario 3D World on its own, we'd be thoroughly recommending it anyway; Bowser's Fury is just the cherry on top."
Nintendo Switch Steve Watts, GameSpot 9/10 "Put together, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury is a spectacular package. Super Mario 3D World is an absolute joy of classic platforming excellence, and this is the best version of it thanks to some well-calibrated improvements. Bowser's Fury is peculiar and less polished, but it dares to poke fun at its own oddities and it has a wild creative streak. The two share thematic similarities, but more importantly, they work hand-in-hand to show the full extent of versatility in what a Mario game can be."

References to other games[edit]

  • Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker: Hint Toad, Banktoad, and Yellow Toad are extra characters in the Captain Toad levels, wearing their outfits from this game. Additionally, their level clear animation is similar to their level clear animation from the Toad Brigade levels in the Bonus Episode.
  • Super Mario Odyssey: Snapshot Mode returns from this game, and characters can Ground Pound through upright pipes and roll into sideways pipes to enter them faster, with the resulting sped-up warp noise being reused from this game. Saving and loading games work the same way as in this game. Rolling in midair is similar to the dive.
