Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury

This article is about an upcoming game. Editors must cite sources for all contributions to this article. Edits that do not follow this standard may be reverted without notice.

Template:Infobox Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury is an upcoming expanded port of Super Mario 3D World for the Nintendo Switch, set to be released on February 12, 2021 as part of the 35th anniversary of Super Mario Bros. It features a standalone story known as Bowser's Fury, which takes place in an open open-world-styled area called Lake Lapcat and involves Mario and Bowser Jr. cooperating to stop Fury Bowser. The Super Mario 3D World game also supports local wireless and online play, both of which were absent from the original version.

The game is subject to two 35th Anniversary-related My Nintendo missions, both of which are necessary to complete for the wave 2 prizes: The first involves buying the game itself (whether physically or digitally), and the second involves finding five hidden stickers on the official site of the cast in Cat outfits.

Bowser's Fury

Bowser's Fury is a new standalone adventure included in the game. In the intro to this mode, Mario is walking around a grassy field when a puddle of black goo is formed from a black graffiti of the logo of Shadow Mario, which then grows. Mario falls in, and lands in a rainy Lake Lapcat, falling head-first into a large footprint left by Bowser. There he finds Bowser Jr. who tells him Bowser has been corrupted by a dark goop (similar to the black paint from Paper Mario: Color Splash) causing him to transform into the gargantuan Fury Bowser. The towers on the island are covered in this goop, with the waters also covered in this substance as well as having large spiked pillars sticking out of it.

The game revolves around freeing every island from Fury Bowser by recovering Cat Shines from the goop-covered towers. When a new island is reached, Fury Bowser periodically emerges nearby from the Fury Sun. When this happens, the weather becomes stormy and he terrorizes the surroundings of the island through large beams of fire and meteors falling from the sky. The nearby cats also become black and start attacking Mario. Bowser will continuously attack Mario for a period of time before falling back into slumber. In the island there is a Giga Bell, also corrupted by the dark substance, which can only be activated by collecting five Cat Shines. When this happens, Mario can touch the bell to become Giga Cat Mario, who is then able to fight Fury Bowser and force him to flee to another island, allowing Mario to reach more islands. Lake Lapcat appears to be a vast open-world setting that is gradually unlocked as more islands are freed from Fury Bowser, extending the sandbox concept of Super Mario Odyssey. Mario can run around the island, climb up the lighthouses, and go from one island to the others by riding Plessie. This place makes use of Cat Mario's abilities.

New playable character

Character

Description

Bowser Jr.

In single player, Bowser Jr. acts as an AI-controlled partner, but can be played with a second player as well. He flies in his Junior Clown Car, and can use his Magic Paintbrush to attack enemies or paint on walls with question marks to reveal items. He can also collect coins for Mario, and he produces items the player selects from the Item Storage. In single player, the player can control and aim where Bowser Jr. goes to use his paintbrush, and the level of AI assistance can be altered or disabled entirely in the settings.

Enemies

New

Image	Description
Unnamed dark variation of the cat species	Cats become dark when Fury Bowser attacks Lake Lapcat. They chase Mario upon sight.
Fury Shadows	Dark, goop-covered variations of characters that Mario must chase in order to get a Cat Shine, much like Shadow Mario in Super Mario Sunshine. They must be hit three times to defeat them, and every time they are hit, they transform into a spiky black goop ball and dash away. So far, only a dark variation of Luigi has been seen.

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, paws, and a tail, though unlike the Cat Goombas and Cat Bullet Bills in Super Mario 3D World, their cat appearances are only aesthetic changes, without gaining any new abilities. As such, the Cat Goombas in Bowser's Fury behave like regular Goombas, and have their standard brown coloring.

Locations

Lake Lapcat is split into multiple different islands, with each one 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. Every island contains Cat Shines that can be collected, some of which are earned by finding the five Cat Shine Shards around the island.

Differences from Super Mario 3D World

• Bowser's Fury runs at a variable resolution in TV mode, which can drop to as low as 1280x720.
  • In handheld mode, the game runs at 30 frames per second.
• There are no lives in this mode. Instead, a random power-up is given for every 100 coins collected.
• 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 up to five Super Mushrooms, Super Bells, Fire Flowers, Super Leaves, and Boomerang Flowers each. Pressing up opens the menu allowing the player to choose a power-up.
• The game's camera is fully controllable by the player.
• The game is 1-2 players instead of 1-4 players and does not support online or local wireless play.
• Mario is the only playable character, with Bowser Jr. as a companion. Bowser Jr. only appears in the Bowser's Fury adventure.
• Mario has full 360 degree movement, instead of being restricted to eight directions.
• 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. In Super Mario 3D World, Plessie can only perform the high jump in multiplayer, and all players must jump at the same time to activate it.

amiibo

Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury features amiibo support for all amiibo figures, with Cat Mario and Cat Peach amiibo figures launching alongside the game. The player is granted an item depending on which amiibo is scanned:

• Scanning the Cat Mario amiibo produces an Invincibility Bell that turns Mario into White Cat Mario.
• Scanning the Cat Peach amiibo produces a random power-up.
• Scanning any Bowser amiibo produces a Super Star in Super Mario 3D World and makes Fury Bowser appear in Bowser's Fury.
• Scanning the Bowser Jr. amiibo produces a Super Star in Super Mario 3D World and makes a shockwave appear that knocks out blocks and enemies in Bowser's Fury.
• Scanning any other amiibo of characters in the Super Mario series produces a Super Star in both modes.
• Scanning any amiibo outside of the Super Mario series produces a 1-Up Mushroom in Super Mario 3D World and a Super Mushroom in Bowser's Fury.

Pre-release and unused content

The pre-release version of the North American boxart

Because Bowser Jr. and Fury Bowser had not yet been confirmed to appear in Bowser's Fury, the initial boxart only contained the Bowser's Fury logo, while the section also took up a smaller portion of the box.

References to other games

• Super Mario Bros. 2: A portion of the music of Scamper Shores references the start of Super Mario Bros. 2's overworld theme.
• Super Mario 64: The Cat Shine "Bully the Cat Bullies" is a reference to the mission "Bully the Bullies".
• 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 Shadows 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.
• 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. 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.
