    Excellent game for couch co-op, and love the design of each level. It's definitely a throwback to 3D Mario games like Super Mario 64 and Sunshine. Definitely a staple if you're looking for a multiplayer game to play.

    It's a solid game, but nothing more. It doesn't go above and beyond the way other Super Mario games have. It's good for a single playthrough, but not much to come back for. Bower's Fury is a nice addition, but not enough to push my score above 7.

    This is the perfect 3d mario package, with mostly linear platforming that is amazing, and a highly replayable open world game. This is just simply a good game.

    Possibly my favorite Mario game yet. I loved the cleverness of the levels and the enemy characters that looked like toys. Made me fall in love with Mario all over again.

    Beautiful Game I love that the graphics look better in 3D Land. But in Bowser's Fury that's where the fun is! The fact that Bowser has turned into basically Godzilla. Beautiful Graphics, Good Gameplay, Cool Bowser Design, and bowser Jr's drawings are great

    Super Mario 3D World is a platforming classic, even better now on the Switch. Bowser's Fury is surprisingly fun, although a little short. Especially the boss fight are an awesome and epic twist to the Mario vs Bowser saga!

    The ONLY thing that bothers me a little is that Bowsers Fury plays like a full 3D Mario game and I can’t do the side flip to make higher jumps. But amazing games. A great purchase if you liked the original or if you never played it and like Mario games.

    I, like many others, didn't like 3d World when it first came out, but in retrospect, this game is great!

    It's rather linear and restrictive when compared to the more open ended nature of the previous games, but that's not really a bad thing, because the game is filled to the brim with creative ideas and it's linearity allows it to channel it in a focused manner.

    Maybe it isn't as great as some of its predecessors, but it's never bad either. It's a consistent flow of inspired and creative platforming through a series of linear obstacle courses, and is almost 100% perfect in this regard.

    If you didn't like this game at first, I'd encourage you to play Mario Odyssey first, and play this one after that. It helped me appreciate the game much more, and maybe it'll help you do the same.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a great bundle from Nintendo. Not only do you get Super Mario 3D World re-released on the switch, which is a great new take on the old formula, but you get the new edition of Bowser's Fury. While Bowser's Fury is a short game (about 2-3 to beat and 4-6 to 100%) it is an instant classic. The edition of the "day and night cycle" that has Bowser being dormant during the day and him becoming a giant monster at night creates a wonderful dynamic that keeps you on your toes. The game plays completely different in each cycle, and the giant boss battles are quite fun. One of my favorite things about this bundle is the multiplayer. You can play with up to four people, which adds extra enjoyment in 100% the game, trying to beat each others scores, or just playing the base game. Bowser's Fury also has up to four players which is very nice, but the best part is the two player local play. The second player gets to play as Bowser Jr which is a great improvement upon Cappy. I found that Bowser Jr was vital to the game, and it made it that much better when someone was playing with me. There are only two flaws in this bundle. The first is how short Bowser's Fury is, and the second is one of the games is already released. But both of these are tiny issues. Bowser's Fury is re-playable and worth it just for the first playthrough, and the whole point was the re-release of Super Mario 3D World on the switch so I'm just glad they included a new title with it. 3D Mario World + Bowser's Fury is a great bundle that I will come back to time and time again. Thank you Nintendo for another classic installment.… Expand

The multiplayer experience is awesome but it can sometimes get quite chaotic especially in the cake level with the red and blue switch blocks;).

    3D world is great, but Bowser's Fury comes along with a touch of creativity, of liberty if I say so myself.

    This new mode is certainly short, but packed in great ideas. The difficulty is well balanced, and overall a great experience.

    If you already played 3D World on the Wii.U, this is still a great game that you should replay !

    Best port ever. 3D world is maybe better than ever. Ground pound jumps are instant, the characters are faster, which compensated for the nerfed cat dive glitch (which is still there). Bowsers fury is really good too, but keep in mind that it’s not worth buying for just bowsers fury

    What can I say about a Mario game, the creativity in each level is unique, a game that never becomes repetitive. The inclusion of Bowser's Fury gives a different feel to the game that everyone already knew, besides being an interesting proposal for future Mario games.

    If you haven't played it 3d world is like a big expansion for 3d land that takes everything good from the 3ds game and amplifies it.

    There is a ridiculous amount of content in 3d world, I'm pretty sure it has the most levels in a Mario game to date but what is more amazing is that no level feels the same, each one has a unique gimmick or theme and the game keeps this up until the end.

    There's also 4 player co op which can be played online or local, one fun thing about co op that the highest scoring player gets a crown and the other players can try and steal it by knocking it off, its just dumb fun.

    The music in general is fantastic. Nintendo always does a great job of remixing their classic tunes and 3d world is no exception, I particularly like the jazz rendition of the main theme and bowsers castle theme(go listen to them).

    3d world is simply joy to play, sure it might not have the highly technical move sets of 64 or sunshine but that isn't necessarily a bad thing considering how easy it is to pick up and enjoy. It doesn't have the highpoints of Nintendo's greatest but its solid, all good from start to finish.    … Expand

As for 3D world, they increased the running speed, added improvements to the game over all, and added a four player online mode for the entire game which is a big deal for Nintendo. There are also some new Captain Toad stages. Giving the Game a 9 because there is also a Death Counter that appears on the main menu of the game after you beat it as a way to say "Hey you beat the game but you died this many times!" To me that feels like a punishment over a reward, I don't want to be reminded of how many times I died in a game every time I boot up the start menu.… Expand

    While the Wii U was certainly some dark times for Nintendo, there’s no denying that the first party offerings were just as stellar as ever.

You know that with how much of the system’s library has released on the Switch over the past 4 years with the latest being Mario's main 3D adventure on the system.

    I remember covering the game back in 2013 and was generally impressed with what was on offer but ultimately the game felt like a step back from the series previous offering with Galaxy, but at that point Wii U owners were so starved for new titles we were more than happy to play it. The game centred around Bowser being a general nuisance and kidnapping the sprixies from the Sprixie Kingdom and it is up to Mario and friends to save the day, the game was the follow up to 3D Land on the 3DS, with many of the same features including a large number of powerups from the Tanooki suit to the brand new Cat Suit

    Booting it up on Switch in 2021 does bring a sense of hindsight though, after playing through the HD ports of Sunshine, the original Galaxy and of course Odyssey these past few years, going back to 3D World feels almost archaic. Firstly, Mario's Moveset in this game is incredibly restrictive, as I was playing I was frequently wondering why Mario wasn't throwing his hat or even just twirling while he jumped, in fact Mario's jumps in this game feel incredibly floaty and inaccurate compared to other titles, it isn’t helped with the camera angles not giving me proper depth perception.

    In terms of performance, it’s identical to the original version in regards to framerate, presentation-wise, It's pretty much a straight port of the Wii U version with the only motion controls being used to replicate the Gamepad touch moments, holding the shoulder button brings up a pointer that you use to interact with the built-in gyros. This is one time I would rather undock the game and just use the touch controls on the Switch’s gamepad.

    While 3D World isn’t the most robust Mario title, it's far from being inferior introducing aspects like the Cat Suit, the adorable Captain Toad and of course 4 player multiplayer. The Switch version does expand on that with Online Co-op but we were unable to try that out at the time of this review

    But the reason why we are all here is for the brand new expansion in "Bowser's Fury". While 3D World's camera controls and levels were fairly restrictive, Bowser's Fury is a full open world level similar to Odyssey, essentially forming a bridge between the two titles with it having the features of the newer iteration like just losing coins at death. Which begs the question why they even decided to keep the lives in the main game, one turtle exploit and several minutes of your time and you’ll have more lives than you know what to do with.

    Falling down a black portal Mario finds himself in a brand new world with an angry giant Bowser and a worried Junior who needs your help calming his father down with the help of Cat Shines. While you can play as Bowser Jr in co-op, there is no way to play as him in single-player mode, he instead offers help in combat as well as holding onto multiple power-ups.

    As Mario is completing numerous missions to collect cat shines like races or reuniting a poor crying cat with her kittens, Bowser will sometimes poke his head up, turn the sky all gloomy and rain destruction on you for like a minute. Honestly, this is more a hindrance than anything else before you unlock the new giant kitty bell and are just looking to collect the shinies.

    While Bowser's Fury is an impressive addition to 3D World, it will barely clock in any more than 6 hours of playthrough which in this reviewers opinion, really doesn't justify double-dipping. I wouldn't say 3D World is an inferior Mario title but it is absolutely standing in the shadows of its bigger bros. But if you were one of the many who never purchased the Wii U version, 3D World with Bowser’s Fury does offer that classic Mario platforming fun, but I wouldn’t blame you if you pop in Odyssey right afterwards....    … Expand

    3D World is a lot of fun if not slightly too easy. Although similar to a lot of recent releases the challenge comes from finding all the collectables and the post game of which is fairly meaty. Bowsers Fury seems great for an add-on to an existing game and would definitely hope to see a full length take on this formula some day.

    I hadn't gotten to play Super Mario 3D World when it was on the Wii U, so my first experience with it has been on the Switch. If you're playing it by yourself, I would give 3D world a 7/10. It's a very solid mainline Mario title and I don't have much more to say about it. I'd give it an extra half point for an 8/10 if you're playing it with a few friends.

    Now, the 10/10 I've awarded to the game is purely due to Bowser's Fury, which, if it were expanded into a full fledged independent mainline Mario game, it would probably hands down become my favorite mainline Mario game in the entire series. This is exactly what I wanted Super Mario Odyssey to be. Its open level design is exquisite, it strikes a perfect balance between accessibility and challenge for younger players, and I desperately hope all of the ideas here are a mere pre-cursor to whatever Nintendo plans to do with Mario next. I can't begin to even describe what I wouldn't give to have an open level world exactly like Bowser's Fury to explore on the scale of Breath of the Wild. Bowser's Fury is literally everything I want out of mainline Mario titles going forward.    … Expand

    Like Videogamedunkey said, it is so much easier to appreciate 3D World now that Odyssey is out. What made this game disappointing back in 2013 is what makes it stand out from the rest of the series today. 3D World is simply put the purest 3D Mario game ever created (along with 3D Land).

What made this game disappointing back in 2013 is what makes it stand out from the rest of the series today. 3D World is simply put the purest 3D Mario game ever created (along with 3D Land). Mario is originally about going from point A to B, and that is exactly what 3D World provides, but in a 3D environment.

    I used to be very annoyed at the way that 3D World almost completely neglects the story/atmosphere/immersion factors from games like the Galaxies and Sunshine. But like I said previously, that simplicity and the focus on action is what makes 3D World distinct from every other 3D Mario. This is a game that goes straight to the beef: no cutscenes, no hub world, no level recycling, only jumping from new stage to new stage until the end. I love Mario games with atmosphere (like Galaxy) and exploration (like Odyssey), but sometimes you're just in the mood for something simple and straightforward like 3D World.

    Having single, linear levels instead of ones that you re-visit allows for a very focused and refined level design. Stages in 3D World are elegant and simple, and they all follow the same formula: Introduce an idea, expand it, and finally twist it around. There's a good video by Game Maker's Toolkit that explains it properly. The difficulty is mostly low, but the game is very fun regardless. The final level probably is one of the hardest things to come out of a Nintendo game in my opinion.

    Getting used to the controls can be a little tricky, and even after 50 hours between both versions, I'm still often miscalculating jumps and falling of cliffs because of depth-perception issues due to the fixed camera angles. One fantastic, game-changer tweak to this Switch port is the notable increase in the characters' movement speed, which almost makes this feel like a completely new experience (and a much more fun one). That was definitely a genius move by Nintendo.

    Even though 3D World leans heavily on more generic themes and abstract, 'landmass floating in the middle of nothing' levels, that doesn't mean that effort and care wasn't put into the art direction of this game. It's certainly much better than the uninspired 3D Land in that regard. And the soundtrack takes a delightful jazzy turn, with plenty of bangers to enjoy.

    And finally, there's Bowser's Fury. I could write an entire review for this mode, but I'll keep it short here. This mode is almost worth admission price by itself. It is so creative and exciting that it feels like a completely new Mario game, and not just an addition to 3D World. Bowser's Fury is probably the best marriage of open-ended exploration and tight, focused platforming that Mario has ever offered, and is certainly an amazing tease for what's to come for the series. Needless to say, it is a blast from start to finish, it is full of surprises, and it is honestly one of my favorite experiences I had with my Switch so far.

    The new Odyssey moveset added in the port makes the whole game more fluid and adds a ton of possibilities, if you try to speedrun a level it helps you a lot. This is especially noticeable in the hardest stages. (I wish there were more of those because they feel very different from the rest of the game).
    Then you have the multiplayer, if you have at least a friend to play this game, then this game will turn into the physical manifestation of fun. Each player tries to compete for the most points and sabotages the others, but they also have to arrive to the goal in time of course, so the game turns into a very entertaining mix of cooperation and competitiveness. There's also a lot of "Mario Party **** especially because each of the characters has different properties to their movement, this may be subjective but I personally think it enhances the social experience a lot.
    The music is, as always, incredible and the art style is of course traditional, but it has a shine to it, I can't quite describe it but it looks very pretty, like luminous.
    The only problem I had with the game is that sometimes the depth perception is off and the camera is uncomfortable, but it's not a major deal.
    As for Browser's Fury, it's a fun, open world 1-player experience. But it's short, it was mostly made to sell the bundle, it's obviously a bonus experience more than its own game, so I wouldn't advice buying the pack just because of it.    … Expand

They gave the already great game a ton of QoL improvements, including a brand new move (the mid-air dive), increased running speed, online play, multiplayer in the captain toad levels and a bunch of other small tweaks like fully colorized stamps, a new snapshot mode and the game loading in the background.
    The increased speed and new dive move make the game feel legitimately fresh, and the game is more suited for switch than Wii U in my opinion with its pick up and play nature and not being the only 3D Mario game.

    But that's only half the story with this game. Bowser's Fury is the brand new side-quest. It's basically an open world Mario game using Mario 3D world's engine. Despite its short length, taking only around 3 hours to beat and 6 to 100%, Bowser's Fury is a lot of fun and makes sure that both fans of Mario's more linear outings like 3D Land and the 2D games and fans of the open world games like 64 and Odyssey can get a lot of enjoyment out of this package.

    Overall it's two great adventures with amazing sound tracks, great designs and lots of fun to be had. However, here are some points of criticism:

    - While the speed increase is overall a great change, the rest of the game isn't at all tweaked to suit the higher speeds. This can make some sections like some bosses, rolling hills, or stairs you need to jump on feel a bit jarring.
    - There isn't much in terms of replay value in either 3D World or Bowser's Fury, unless you're into speedrunning. The games emphasis on multiplayer (which to be fair, is a ton of fun) leaves me desiring some kind of multiplayer mode like a coin battle or fighting mode.
    - 3D World doesn't really have it's own identity visually or gameplay wise. It's mainly a great Mario platformer, but not much more than that.
    - Bowser's Fury reuses a lot of ideas and you have to do the same thing (fight shadow Luigi, have Fury Bowser break blocks etc.) a bunch of times each. This makes it a bit tedious to 100% complete.
    - Bowser's Fury also doesn't run to well, mainly when bowser is in his fury state.

    Most of these are nitpicks, and i do still think the game is amazing and i whole-heartedly recommend it to any fans of Mario games or 3D platformers in general    … Expand

Bowser Fury invece è la vera sorpresa della cartuccia di gioco, per quanto sia una piccola espansione da 4 ore per il 3D World, l'ho trovato molto più divertente e creativo. Per tirare le somme, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser Fury è un buon pacchetto completo che mi ha divertito e sorpreso per diverse ore di gioco.… Expand

    This game is definitely one of Nintendo's better ports. You can actually tell that there's effort! There's online multiplayer, everyone is faster, and there's even a whole new game! It isn't perfect, especially with post-game content in both games, but I'd strongly recommend this game. It's really fun!

    This newest instalment is not a very original game. All this truly is, is a port from the Wii U with a new ¨DLC¨ With few changes to the game, it´s kind of sad to see such a beautiful game be redone with this poor port.

    Its kinda a lazy port why even bother have a new mario game if its a lazy port just make a new game they are just porting old games like Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Galaxy and Sunshine its one of video games most beloved franchises come on. Nintendo is just makeing quick cash grabs.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I hate this dumb game. These stupid developers made the game almost impossible to enjoy playing. Increasing the speed of the characters to infinity miles per hour doesn't necessarily mean you made the game easier to play and/or enjoy. I honestly don't know how they messed up this badly making a remake.… Expand

    The art and gameplay was amazing but the story was short and didn't really have a story also the minigames were boring and non engaging

    Yet again a WiiU Port. I played this game a few years ago. Great Game, but they did id again. They released a port, with an even higher Price and no chance for WiiU Players to play the new content. Nintendo hates its Fans, and nobody seems to care.

    Locked 30fps in handheld mode in a MARIO GAME. This runs like absolute **** it's almost unplayable without having the switch docked, at least in bowsers fury. Not worth $60 in any way shape or form.

    You will be done with 3D World in 2 days. The levels are mind numbingly easy, and you will see levels being recycled just a couple of hours in. All replay value or challenge comes from having to go back and replay levels over and over again, because you don't know where a star is or just to grab the flagpole from the top, since you need to do that to unlock the last world.

    Sometimes you get a green star by completing a challenge in a purple box. If you fail, you have to kill yourself to try again.

    Bowser's Fury is also really boring, it's an "open world" with terrible camera controls. The camera doesn't follow Mario, and you can only move it in tiny increments. While needing to hold the run button.

    It is not worth $60, unless you plan to play with friends, but anything is fun when with friends.    … Expand

    The best thing you can say about Super Mario 3D World is that it's inoffensive. So inoffensive that it becomes offensive. It's insubstantial, forgettable, and definitely not worth $60. Even with all the flak 3D All-Stars got for not being updated and upgraded enough (as they should- they're supposed to be CLASSICS remember), that collection is the best of the 3D Mario cartridges to get onThe best thing you can say about Super Mario 3D World is that it's inoffensive. So inoffensive that it becomes offensive. It's insubstantial, forgettable, and definitely not worth $60. Even with all the flak 3D All-Stars got for not being updated and upgraded enough (as they should- they're supposed to be CLASSICS remember), that collection is the best of the 3D Mario cartridges to get on the Switch. Buy it before supplies run out and it gets kicked off of the Switch eShop, leaving you with the mediocre Odyssey and 3D World.

    But wait! There's also a new game, Bowser's Fury! And it's the worst 3D Mario game in existence. This game would not be played by many people had it not been tacked onto a re-release of 3D World, another game not many people played the first time. First off, it features controls and mechanics similar to 3D World, but it's set in a big open world with all the levels connected. This makes the game absolutely CHUG and if only that were the worst problem. This game continues the modern Nintendo tradition of being toothlessly easy. You have five separate power-up slots, one for each power-up, and you can store multiple power-ups. You will constantly have more power-ups than you will ever need for each situation. Even if you forget you have them and die, there's hardly any consequences. And as the only new content for this duology, it's short and lacks replay value, not giving Wii U players much of a reason to buy this re-release.

    It's worth noting that while playing this game, both of my pairs of Joy-Cons have the Drift now. I prefer playing my Switch in handheld mode and I don't like using the Pro Controller.

    I grew up playing the N64, during a Nintendo Dark Age, and I've stuck with Nintendo ever since, even buying their older systems and games from before. I don't know if I can continue buying Nintendo's new consoles after the Switch. Sales nonwithstanding, the Switch is the most disappointing Nintendo generation for me and I feel like an alien from a foreign planet seeing the regular hype and glowing praise for its games.    … Expand

    Infuriating controls. Tedious level design. It's such a simple game made difficult and tedious by terrible controls and asinine level design. This game, for me, is NOT fun to play.

    Worst game ever! I don't understand you all saying this game is super easy, except for the last level. Luckilly, there is Bowser's Fury, but it is still not enough to compense for f****** SM3DW. A pure scam!

    SM3DW might not fit to every gamers taste due to the fact that it is less open than other 3D-Marios. However, I love this game and the focus on tight platforming bringing together the best of 2D- and 3D-Marios. If you accept its design and concept, you will get one of the best linear platforming games of all time and a convincing successor to Super Mario Bros 3.

    An outstanding display of prowess by the development team we know and love. The combination of 3D World and Bowser’s Fury is an absolute bundle of joy. [Issue #3, p.49]

    Super Mario Odyssey is still the best Mario game, but that doesn’t change the fact that 3D World is up there among the best platformers ever made. So is Bowser’s Fury, a game much smaller in scale but still phenomenal. [04/2021, p.40]
