It's not only defined by its unique Super Bell power-up, which turns Mario and co into a cat that can climb walls and scratch enemies, but it also features completely unique enemies and other items that haven't yet made their way to other games. Its overworld offers up a range of different levels spread across different worlds, each offering a distinct theme and plenty of unique features that definitely make this one of Mario's most memorable adventures.Įven having played it on the Wii U originally, it's easy to forget how eccentric Super Mario 3D World is. While Bowser's Fury takes from the Super Mario Odyssey playbook of offering you a hub world to explore, with Cat Shines locked behind completing specific challenges, Super Mario 3D World is far more traditional in terms of presentation. While not many of us will have experienced Super Mario 3D World when it first released due to the Wii U's poor console sales figures, this re-release is a perfect opportunity to experience its fantastic quirks. Bowser's Fury might be a completely fresh adventure, but it builds on the themes and unique powerups that were introduced with the Wii U's Super Mario 3D World.
You might have started noticing a theme in some of Bowser's Fury's presentation, and it's a feline (sorry) that won't disappear as you discover more about this new Switch release. It's an absolutely stunning new offering that pushes the Switch's graphical prowess to its limits, and makes me excited about what's next for Mario beyond this compact new adventure.
Thus, our unusual heroic duo will have to work together to survive Bowser's world-event-inducing tantrums, collecting the new Cat Shines that relight the tar-covered lighthouses that start to bring light back to Lake Lapcat.
It's not just cartoony steam from the ears either, his rage manifests in thick black tar that coats the otherwise idyllic place, and causes storms to periodically cloud out the glorious sunshine. In Bowser's Fury, the new adventure arriving alongside the re-release of the Wii U title Super Mario 3D World, his dad has been overcome with rage turning Bowser into a gigantic foe that's contaminating the peaceful land of Lake Lapcat with his anger.
