Experience Multiplayer Mayhem in Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury

The legendary Mario franchise reaches new heights on the Nintendo Switch with Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury. This definitive collection brings a beloved Wii U classic to a modern audience while introducing a brand-new, experimental adventure. Combining high-energy platforming with cooperative play, this title offers two distinct ways to experience the magic of the Mushroom Kingdom.

Two Epic Adventures in One Package

The collection features the enhanced version of Super Mario 3D World alongside the all-new Bowser’s Fury. While Super Mario 3D World offers a polished, stage-based platforming experience, Bowser's Fury presents a fresh way to interact with the world, tasking players with saving a berserk Bowser alongside Bowser Jr.

In the main Super Mario 3D World campaign, the story begins when Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Toad discover a mysterious clear pipe outside Peach’s Castle. After a brief plumbing mishap, a Sprixie fairy emerges to warn the heroes that Bowser is kidnapping her friends. To save the Sprixie Kingdom, players must traverse a variety of colorful stages to rescue the captives.

Gameplay Mechanics and Features

Though it features a 3D perspective, Super Mario 3D World functions as a linear platformer. Players navigate through a world map, progressing through levels that each feature a clear path from start to finish, marked by a flagpole at the end of each stage. To achieve 100% completion, players must explore every nook and cranny to collect green stars and stamps.

The gameplay is defined by constant innovation and variety:

  • Dynamic Power-ups: Utilize iconic items like the Super Bell, which grants Mario "catlike" abilities, allowing him to climb walls and scratch enemies.
  • Ever-changing Stages: Every level is designed to introduce new mechanics, enemies, or environmental gimmicks to keep the experience fresh.
  • Multiplayer Mayhem: Engage in local or online co-op with up to four players. Whether working together to reach the goal or competing for the highest score, the chaos is part of the fun.
  • Bowser's Fury Content: Face off against a giant, powered-up Bowser in an epic showdown that requires collecting 100 Cat Shines to overcome.

Who is this game for?

With its high-quality level design and accessible mechanics, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury appeals to a wide demographic. It is an essential pick for fans of the classic 2D Super Mario Bros. series looking for a modern 3D twist, as well as families seeking a cooperative experience that supports both offline and online multiplayer. If you enjoy precision platforming, creative power-ups, and the ability to play with friends, this collection is a must-play addition to your Nintendo Switch library.
