Islands change over time to add more enemies and obstacles, and more shines, encouraging you to ride your aquatic dino pal Plessie from place to place frequently. Things seem simple at first, with some Shines hanging out in the open and others requiring you to complete a task or puzzle, but there’s a lot more going on under the surface. Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury is another example of a Wii U title finally getting the love it deserves on the Nintendo Switch. If you thought Cat Mario and Cat Toad were cute, wait until you get a load of Cat Bob-ombs, Cat Piranha Plants, Cat Seagulls, and even Cat Bees! Review: Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury (Nintendo Switch) It’s a fact of life: just about every game will eventually be ported to the Switch, you just have to wait a while. Marooned on an excessively feline-themed archipelago with reluctant ally Bowser Jr, Mario hops island to island exploring the open world to collect a power source called Cat Shines. Totally separate from the remastered 3D World, Bowser’s Fury is a short but exciting new Mario adventure unlike any other. You’ll need to collect a shine or give him a beatdown as Giga Cat Mario to send him packing. Fresh items like the cat-tastic Super Bell and clone-creating Double Cherry fit in perfectly alongside familiar fare like the Super Leaf, while funny new enemies like the soviet-looking Blocksteppers became instant favourites of mine despite appearing alongside classic Koopas, Goombas and Chargin’ Chucks.įury Bowser is inescapable and puts on constant pressure to keep moving. It feels like a holistic celebration of all things Mario, with everything from the power-ups to the enemies including old favourites, esoteric deep cuts from the past and brand new creations. Whether alone or with friends, zipping and jumping around the worlds feels amazing thanks to an expanded moveset inspired by 3D entries like Mario 64 and Mario Galaxy, but smaller-scale stages and a mix of open and linear areas makes for a more old-school pace. You can choose to play as the high-jumping Luigi, floaty Peach, speedy Toad or all-rounder Mario, and since the beautiful diorama-like levels have depth you don’t have the New Super Mario Bros problem of constantly clamouring over each other. Dashing around 3D World’s mix of open and linear areas as a cat feels great.
