There are even secrets that can only be uncovered during his appearance, so it’s worth putting up with his tantrums. Yet his arrival is a real test of your skills and forces you to improvise. Mario must either survive long enough, or collect a shine to light a nearby lighthouse and fend him off.īowser has a nasty habit of appearing at inopportune moments, which can be frustrating. Like that game’s blood moons, here the angry titan Bowser intermittently rears up to smother the world in darkness and wreak havoc. Perhaps the biggest inspiration, though, is The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. The shimmering, tropical lake is a nod to Super Mario Sunshine, while the open world design sees Mario solving puzzles and challenges to collect Cat Shines akin to Super Mario Odyssey. The setting is an intriguing mix of previous Mario games. Taking the main game’s catsuit as inspiration, Mario travels to the feline-themed Lake Lapcat that’s covered in sticky black slime and dominated by a colossal Bowser who’s, well, furious. Available separately in the main menu, it’s a standalone game that’s far more experimental. New to this release, however, is the Bowser’s Fury expansion. It adds an extra layer to what is otherwise an enjoyable but slightly predictable Mario game. It’s certainly chaotic, but the wide open levels and multiple obstacles were made for this type of play. Up to four players can experience the game in full on the Nintendo Switch, playing as Mario, Luigi, Peach and Toad – both in local play and online. Beyond that, Super Mario 3D World is at its best in multiplayer.
