    It‘s Super Mario 3D World! With friends or alone it makes pretty much fun. Bowsers Fury is also good Mode. It‘s very funny, that all enemys have catelements. A must buy.

    Though Bowser's Fury clocks in at about a six hours, this should serve as framework for Nintendo's inevitable next entry in the Mario franchise as it works well within the context of this universe. While the game definitely respects it's players time, it's shorter length and smaller scope may disappoint those who played 2017's Odyssey; especially as a majority of Switch owners never played it. Those who do pick it up, regardless of predisposition, will undoubtedly approve of their investment even after the credits roll.

    For bowsers fury:
    Mario teams up with bowser jr to collect cat shines to defeat a very angry bowser. There are 100 of these shines to collect. The only reason I’m not giving this game a 10 is because some of the shines are very repetitive and tedious to do (blast the fury blocks, lost kittens etc). This doesn’t weigh the game down that much though because the gameplay is superb. Controls are the same as 3d world but still work well with bowsers fury open world levels. Graphics are awesome especially when switching from day to night.
    This two game collection has magnificent adventures to go on as Mario and is a must have for the Nintendo switch (experience is amplified if you haven’t played 3d world before).

    The base game is really fun and creative, Bowser's Fury is one of the best platform experiences in last years and it is exciting to see what Nintendo could do going forward. I feel the levels a bit short, they introduce a good and fun mechanic but then doesn't expand on that. The specials worlds definetly are the best part of the game when it becomes quite tricky and you have to try a few times.

    Gran Banda sonora. gráficamente es hermoso. Tiene un diseño de niveles magistral basado en el ki sho ten ketsu dando catedra al diseño de niveles lineales.
    El apartado de Bowser fury se agradece aunque no esta del todo bien logrado, se entiende la experimentación por parte de nintendo y la innovación en un Pseudo mundo abierto dentro de un juego principal de Mario.

    Mario 3D World review: If you've played the original not much has changed. Characters move faster and the visuals and frame rate has bumped up but not really anything special. If you haven't played the original, I highly recommend you get this game. When people think 3D Mario, they think about Mario 64 or Mario Sunshine, but this is more like Mario Galaxy except MUCH more linear.

If you haven't played the original, I highly recommend you get this game. When people think 3D Mario, they think about Mario 64 or Mario Sunshine, but this is more like Mario Galaxy except MUCH more linear. Don't let that discourage you though. At the cost of the freedom you had in 64 and Sunshine, you get to experience amazingly creative level design. While it's not the best or most memorable Mario game, it has a charm to it that can't be matched.

    Bowser's Fury review: I know it's early but I'm calling it: Bowser's Fury is the goty. It's been almost 4 years since Odyssey came out and we still have no word on Odyssey 2, if that's even in the works, but to fill in the time Nintendo gave us this smaller game. And when I say small, I mean this game can be beaten in 2-3 hours. Yes it is short but it's part of another game that already takes a bit of time so it's not that surprising. For what it is, this game is a masterpiece. If you were waiting for Odyssey dlc to come out here you go; this is it. The soundtrack is some of the best Mario music I've heard since Galaxy; it's that good. It almost feels like a waste to talk about the level design, because it's 3D Mario. It's pretty much a well known fact at this point that it's almost flawless. While the boss fights with Fury Bowser aren't super challenging (except for the final final boss when you've collected 100 catshines), they are still really fun and engaging, and considering the fact that Godzilla vs Kong is releasing soon, this could be a good way to get hyped for it. I hope Nintendo takes heavy influence from Bowser's Fury for their next 3D Mario game, because if they do, it might be the best 3D Mario game ever created.

    An excellent remake of a very enjoyable Wii U game with a shorter but all-new wild adventure thrown in, what’s not to like about Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury. With plenty of platforming, group adventuring, high-pace boss battles and hours of post-game challenges, you may find it hard to stop playing.
    The character’s movements are smooth, and you can really sense your in-game
    An excellent remake of a very enjoyable Wii U game with a shorter but all-new wild adventure thrown in, what’s not to like about Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury. With plenty of platforming, group adventuring, high-pace boss battles and hours of post-game challenges, you may find it hard to stop playing.
    The character’s movements are smooth, and you can really sense your in-game surroundings and atmosphere thanks to the sound and graphics of both games.
    The fact that each character in 3D world has their own strengths opens up new possibilities for different players. There is the high jumping Luigi, the fast Toad, the floaty Peach and the balanced Mario. Plus, a surprise character unlocked after completing the main story. You can try each of these characters solo or grab up to 3 friends as you travel across the many worlds and conquer each level as a group to save the Sprixies (the princess of this kingdom and her followers), from Mario’s archenemy, Bowser. However, 4 players get a little chaotic, especially when players rush ahead of the rest of the group and force them off the screen, so the game can be improved in that area. But on the bright side working as a team can be used to great effect against a variety of challenges in the game.
    Meanwhile, Bowser’s Fury is a shorter but whole different story, one where Bower Jr. and his greatest enemy, Mario, must team up to undo whatever has happened to his dad. You can play solo as Mario and chose how much you want Bowser Jr. to help by taking out enemies, grabbing coins and finding hidden items, or a second player can take control of Jr. Although, when playing as Jr he does not have as many abilities as some would like. There is much to do as you run, jump and climb your way across the platforming level-like islands and riding on your aquatic friend Plessie between them. But watch out, because the huge black guy will wake up and rain fireballs and huge spikes down on your parade, totally changing the pace of the game. But while you can run from Bowser you can also use the Giga Bell at several points in the game to grow to a size where you can jump over mountains and confront him on equal terms.
    Both games also feature several new power-ups, like the a-meow-zing Super Bell and the duplicating Double Cherry as well as old favourites of the Mario series the Fire Flower, Super Leaf, Boomerang Flower, Mega Mushroom and Super Star. You are also given the ability to store power-ups by collecting them while already powered up so you can use them later in certain situations which is useful.
    Control of the characters is easy and smooth, except maybe with a Double Cherry, but that is just because you are trying to control two characters at once. As you explore each level of 3D world you are given a satisfying feeling while going through the mix of open and linear areas. The variety provided by each level makes each one a unique experience with different atmospheres. Not only that, but each level comes with hidden collectables such as green stars and stamps for who want to achieve more after completing the main story. There are several bonus levels too, so there is much to do after the game. Bowser’s Fury is also satisfying but instead takes place in an open world filled with islands to explore, which is a good shift from levels being points on a map. It is a fun mix-up of different atmospheres including platforming fun on the islands, free-roaming and interacting with whatever you came across like in Super Mario Odyssey levels, speeding around the ocean on Plessie, and high pace chaos whenever Bowser pops out of the ocean to light up his fireworks show.
    3D World was originally a game for the Wii U which has now been updated with a more vibrant look and faster character movement. Also, the captain toad levels, which used to only be one player, can now be enjoyed by all four players and features which used the Wii U gamepad’s touch screen can now be done by moving any controller. 3D world and Bowser’s Fury both combine elements of Mario’s other 3D games such as Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Galaxy to bring about a similar experience but with smaller areas to create a slower easier pace. Many old enemies have also returned alongside old power-ups, like the mushroom-headed Goombas, shell-wearing Koopa Troopers, biting Piranha Plants, and more. Though there is a surprise you will notice about them when you play Bowser’s Fury.
    Overall, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury is a great quality bundle of non-stop new and old Mario-style fun. I would definitely recommend it for platformer type gamers, as both the games provide fun platforming challenges both during and after the main story, even though one is surprisingly short. I would also recommend it if you are looking for friendly game to be played with a group of friends or family, because although 4 players can be chaotic it is still an enjoyable group experience. I give this game a 9/10.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This entry is one of the best in the Mario series. I never got to own this game, because I’m not in possession of A WiiU, so I was excited when I saw it was coming to the Switch. The story for 3D world is very good, and mixes it up a little. You save these fairies instead of princess peach, and (spoiler alert) at the end of world 7, you think you have completed the game, and then bowser captures the fairies again and the real final boss fight is in world 8, which is a really cool world in the game, probably the best.
    World 6 is also really fun and cool.
    The game tries out some new gimmicks, such as the cat suit, the coolest power up in the game. And that’s coming from a dog person.
    But 3D world isn’t the only game in this bundle, of course. Bowsers fury is super fun. You go around collecting cat shines to awaken the giga cat bells so you can defeat bowser. They are really good power ups. The game is a little short, but it’s super fun and replayable, as you can go on plessie the orange Dino, and defeat bowsers fury a bunch.
    I have been playing these games for about a week or two now (i got this on launch day), and it’s really fun. It’s a must play in my book.

    Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury is a masterpiece, it is probably the best Re release on the Switch. It is one of the best platforming experiences ever with many of the Problems that Plagued the Wii U version fixed. And a whole new 6 hour open-world experience that perfectly combined 3D World's gameplay with some of Mario's titles.

    3D world is an amazing platform we which bridges the open world style of Nintendo’s 3D games as well as the traditional platformer, Bowser’s Fury is another experimental title which pulls off the similar concept in a different way, my only issue with the game itself is the complete lack of story and direction in the beginning.

Bowser's Fury did something i thought would be impossible. Making a game focused on linear platforming and open-world platforming. And that's why i love it so much. I love the different ways that you can get the cat shines, and the game is generally very fun and interesting. The only cat shines I don't like in this game are the "Blast the Fury Blocks" cat shines, because for those you mostly have to wait for Fury Bowser to spawn and break the blocks, which is pretty boring. The only big flaw I can think of is that the game only runs on 30 fps and the lag can be really bad when Fury Bowser spawns. But other than that, i like almost everything about this game. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. this is some of the best Wii U games ported. SO LETS GET IN THE GAME! The gameplay is exactly the same with a few differences, you can roll in the air, which helps you get more horizontal distance. And the dash is significantly faster, which helps for speedrunners and gamers alike. The online mode is not that bad. It's smoother than I expected. So lets get into the side game, Bowser's Fury. which is a new adventure. Just gets some cat shines (about 100 of them.) and if you reach a specific number of cat shines, you face off against Fury Bowser. and there is the 2-player mode. It is kinda fun playing with another person and just, so fun! If you own a Wii U this game is worth it if you are interested in Bowser's Fury. If you started on a NS I totally recommend the game. just beat the levels and cat shines. now the cons are:

    Microphone levels are gone. Puffrod Peaks isn't the same. And thanks to the speed and air-roll, the game is way too easy. (Edit, yeah the Switch doesn't have the mic so fine)

    But the game is some of the best Switch games out there!

By far the biggest selling point of this game if you already have 3d world the only issue that i have and thats what bumps it down to a nine is the fact that 3d world is kinda short clocking in at about 6-10 hours and bowsers fury is only about 3 hours. (Note that these counts don’t acknowledge collecting all collectibles its when you beat the final boss.) So yes overall this is a amazing game with small issues like replay ability and the amount of time taking you to do the game start to end of final boss being a tad too short I will give this game an overall 9-10 Expand

    + de game speelt heel snel. bijna snel genoeg om het spelen met alle karakters tof te vinden

    + de muziek is een banger. en een highlight

    +/- de bazen zijn intresant maar Boom Boom & Pom Pom worden te veel hergebruikt zonder de arena uniek te maken

    + er zijn 3 Star Coins en 1 Stempel. de Stempel is praktisch gezien een 4de Star Coin en ik zou het niet erg vinden als ze de volgende Mario game met 4 Star Coins maken inplaats van 3. het verlengt anders de korte levels

    + deze game heeft online support somehow

    + de wereldmap heeft secrets

    + als je de game op 100% speelt dan unlock je de kroonwereld die super uitdagend is

    conclusie:
    omdat ze de karakters 30% sneller hebben gemaakt is deze game al anders genoeg om te spelen

    Bowser's Fury

    + de game voelt als een Odyssey kingdom

    + deze game is waarschijnlijk voor alle veranderingen in 3D World verantwoordelijk

    + Fury Bowser heeft een serieuze impact op de level design

    + alles is een kat in deze game. de goombas hebben een nieuwe design dat beter bij hun past

    + de game breid de concepten van 3D World uit

    + je kan de hulp van Bowser Jr. uit zetten hij zal dan niks doen. soms vergeet ik zelfs dat hij er is

    + de Bowser fights zijn klimatisch en de ending is onverwacht

    deze game volgt de voetstappen van Odessey en is een unieke editie aan de serie

    ondanks dat het een Wii U port is hebben ze er echt all in op gegaan. ze hebben zo hard hun best gedaan dat ik moet denken dat deze game de reden is dat de andere Wii U ports zo simpel zijn

    - The open world feels kinda small and underpopulated. More like an extended level than the actual place. Maybe I'm spoiled by Assassin's Creed games.
    - The 100% ending is anticlimactic

    Super Mario 3D World bietet gelungene Mario-Kost in 2,5D-Stil. Doch was hier heraussticht ist die Stand Alone-Erweiterung Bowser's Fury als richtiges 3D Jump'n'Run. Dieser Anteil gefällt mir sogar besser als Odyssey. Nur das ständige Auftauchen von Bowser trübt den Spielspaß etwas.

    3D World is ok, but what really shines is Bowser's Fury, despite being short, its formula is surprisingly fun, for someone like me who is tired of the old formula of linear stages, one after another, its freedom and open-world-ish design makes the Mario franchise feels fresh and is a step in the right direction.

    On the other hand I got Bowser's Fury, which exceed my expectations, it was something I would love for Nintendo to use as a stepping stone for creating the next thing in the franchise. It was nearly perfect, I loved looking for things and collecting it all (I played it near the release date, so right now I can't recall the name of the things there were to collect). Map was diverse and quite big for such a thing (not a full game). Gameplay was smooth and the usage of Bowser Junior was nice as well.

The stand alone is a bit short but it' s been announced as an add on/bonus so it's acceptable, though a bit easy here again. It brings new elements to the franchise and though the framerate does not still follow, it's a very nice 3D Mario to play.

    DLC真的是大师之作,这游戏玩了DLC就值回票价了,本体只是随机附赠而已。我想用三点来概括我的直观感受。第一点是活的舞台:首先每个舞台会根据你周目次数而进行变化,每次变化都会给你带来全新体验,与此同时舞台还会呼应天气效果给出雨天特有的通关路径,再加上巨大化后整个地图还会化作一个崭新的战斗舞台,真可谓方寸之间自有天地。第二点是自由度:这个地图虽小,但确实是实打实的开放世界;库巴想变大揍可以,想亮瞎它狗眼也可以;变成猫形态爬墙走捷径可以,化作火焰形态突突突也可以。第三点是紧张感:在一个如此多变又自由的开放世界,很容易就会让玩家陷入一种不知所以的境地,除非引入育碧似清单(划掉)。然而本作却很好的维持了全程的紧张感能让你高度集中。那就是该死的大库巴/雨天。交替出现的晴雨天会让你不自觉的想要把各自的限定的任务在时限内完成。与其相伴的大库巴也时刻提醒着你别忘了还有个大家伙要揍,如果能及时拿到猫太阳亮瞎其狗眼岂不一举两得美哉美哉?除了以上三点感触颇深外,杀人如麻的库巴二世和如影随形的浦雷斯也可圈可点。不得不感慨老任的关卡设计思路和制作水平在奥德赛之后又拔高了一筹,而这还仅仅只是利用了3D世界的素材而已。这个DLC对得起马里奥35周年的献礼之作,10分满分。

    两者一综合,给个9分不为过。

    Starting with 3D world base game, it was an absolute treat. I had much more fun then expected! The levels are well designed and the collectables are MOSTLY obtainable. Basically the game rewards you for exploring. The diversity of the levels create variety of gameplay which is always welcomed.
    When exploring the hub world, there are bonus areas (such as timed challenges and Captain Toad levels) that made it exciting to progress. Occasionally you get bonus rooms to gain some extra lives or power-ups. Speaking of power-ups, although only 5 power-ups, they were diverse, displaying classic power-ups such as the fire flower and original power-ups such as the cat suit. The new power-ups I found to be the most unique throughout.
    I like how you can choose your characters along with the ability to have multiplayer where as many as 4 players at the same time can cause chaos.
    The only issues I had with the game were some collectables were cryptic to find and had on a rare occasion look them up as I wanted to play the final Captain Toad level. I also found about 10 levels had a high difficulty spike and can easily frustrate due to being unexpected. There was a level in World 4 that was more challenging then any level in World 5 (World 5 is my fav World). Despite the levels listed, there was quite a few levels that were too easy and lacked a serious challenge even in areas like World 6, hence the difficulty imbalance. There are special power-up to aid players if they get stuck and die several times.
    Even with it's flaws I highly recommend for a seriously fun time, 86%
    The addition to Bowers Fury was a smart choice. This seriously adds value to the Wii U port making it worthwhile. Think of it as a hybrid to Mario 64 and Mario 3d World. In summary, I loved Bower's Fury! Dare I say, more than Mario Odyssey. Reason being is each main collectable (shrine), had a task to complete to get it and were consistent in challenge and difficulty. There was one shrine I can curse and hate getting, it wasn't hard but super annoying and costs me many attempts. Otherwise my main complaint is, I wanted more and hope they expand on this concept. It took me about 10 hours to 100% Bowsers Fury and would encourage all to do try it out. 97%

    Mario 3D World + Bowser Fury is a remaster that we didn’t necessarily need. On the other hand, the 2013 game still works as well with an adjusted fluidity. As for Bowser Fury, it is a kind of first step to a completely open Mario. If Mario Odyssey would have been like that, I would have put 20/20 direct lol. But, this port is certainly not necessary is always welcome on switch.

    Super Mario 3D World is a fascinating Nintendo Switch port. It was obviously a shoo-in, but I was extremely surprised to see it come after a game like New Super Mario Bros.

It was obviously a shoo-in, but I was extremely surprised to see it come after a game like New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, which is one of the most underwhelming games I’ve ever played, let alone one of the most underwhelming Mario games. Regardless, I’m glad to see 3D world on the system. I never owned a Wii U, but many players and critics called it one of, if not the best game on the Wii U.
    If I were to ever own a Wii U, I likely would’ve sprung for this game and/or Mario Kart 8. I played Super Mario 3D Land on my 3DS and adored nearly every second of it. It’s probably my favorite game on that system and I think it’s the best handheld Mario game. On the contrary, many took issue regarding 3D World(3D Land’s sequel), both when it was first revealed, and when it launched. As the first HD 3D Mario game, players expected Super Mario Galaxy 3, Sunshine 2, a direct sequel to 64, or maybe even an original title, but no. We got a sequel to a handheld game whose gimmick was designed around the glasses-free 3D feature, which the Wii U lacked. This reaction could have also been due to the oversaturation of Mario titles during the early 2010’s, although, it currently holds a score of 93% from critics and an 8.9 from players on Metacritic and is the second highest ranked Wii U title, only surpassed by The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
    Like I mentioned previously, this title was on my radar in terms of most desired Wii U games, but I wasn’t gonna buy a Wii U at the end of the 2010’s just for this game(thank goodness I didn't). That brings me to an issue I have, not exactly with the game: the Wii U, in my opinion, is losing its identity. Most of the beloved titles that can work well on Switch have either received direct sequels or have been ported over. This is a good and bad thing. It gives great games a second chance on a successful console(Nintendo Switch), whereas they used to be stranded on an abandoned console(Wii U), which didn’t sell well. On the other hand, the Wii U has fewer and fewer great titles to call its own. The Switch has a plethora of Wii U ports, which are more often than not, the definitive version of the game due to all DLC/extra content being packaged in and/or simply higher frame rates and resolution. There truly is less and less of a reason to buy a Wii U in 2021 if you're simply looking to play its best games, but this isn’t a huge issue for me, since I and many others only own a Switch.
    I want to get my one big issue out of the way first: the camera. This nearly ruined the game for me in some areas. Having a fixed camera for most of the game may work better for multiplayer, since you’ll have 2-4 players on screen at one time, but for single player, why can’t I have full control of the camera? It led to so many deaths that were the game’s fault and not my own. I mostly played on my own, and it was incredibly frustrating at times. At least there’s an infinite lives trick early on in the game.
    Luckily, you can play online, with registered friends, but I wish your progress could have carried over to your own save file.
    Even though these issues remain, I had a blast playing 3D World and Bowser’s Fury. It’s definitely not as good as Odyssey, 3D Land or Galaxy 1 and 2, but I enjoyed it much more than 64 and Sunshine(I know, sue me). This game looks surprisingly great, even for a Switch game. It’s not quite as beautiful as Odyssey, but it’s definitely one of the best looking first-party games. The lighting is beautiful, the art style is charming, and it runs at a solid 60 FPS, although Bowser’s Fury runs at 30 FPS in handheld mode.
    If there’s one thing you’re getting with 3D World, maybe more than any other Mario game, it’s variety. Most levels feel unique, although some are more memorable than others. The worst levels are, at the very least, enjoyable. Music is also a highlight, much better than that in 3D Land. There are also gallons of replayability, especially if you want to collect every star and stamp.
    Bowser’s Fury is likely the best add-on we’ve gotten with a Switch port so far. If you were expecting it to be an entirely new game, you might be disappointed, but it is the definition of quality over quantity. You can finish it in just a few hours and collecting every cat shine won’t take you too much longer, but I thoroughly enjoyed my time with it, maybe even a bit more than 3D World since I prefer the sandbox style of 3D Mario games. Being able to fully control the camera is also a godsend. Unfortunately, the 2-player mode in Bowser’s Fury is fairly weak. It’s more of a “backseat” experience, similar to a 2-Player mode in Super Mario Odyssey. Regardless, Bowser’s Fury gives us a taste of what an open-world Mario game could be like, since this is technically an open-world experience. I can’t wait to see what Nintendo makes next.

Bowser's Fury is also a really fun short and sweet adventure that does have some repetitive shines but overall a great experience.

    While I really love this game though, it does have a couple of problems. On the Wii U, this game was able to be played with a Wiimote sideways, so the movement was only limited to the 8 cardinal directions. Since this is on the Switch now, the only way you can play is with an analog stick, so they really should have let you move in any direction like they did with Bowser's Fury as this can mess up some platforming. I also think the upgraded movement speed is a tad too fast, and can make running at full speed hard to control at times, especially with Toad.

    Besides these problems, this is a great package with two extremely fun platformers that will keep you entertained for hours on end.

    This game is as phenomenal on Switch as it was on the Wii U. The core game is delightful and even if you complete everything, go through all the levels, and find the secrets. It's an easy and fun game to pull out at parties with friends and play together as a group. Above all of that this is one of the easiest games I have found to learn how to speed run.

It's an easy and fun game to pull out at parties with friends and play together as a group. Above all of that this is one of the easiest games I have found to learn how to speed run. Mario 3D world is fun and enjoyable no matter who you are and while it does not take long to complete the game, playing through it with friends and family is a lot of fun.

    The biggest problem with this game is the online capabilities. How we have entered into 2021 and Nintendo, a major game company, has not figured out how to run their online service in such a way that I can play with my friends at even a half of the quality that I could when I played Halo 2 in the early 2000's is beyond me. This game would be PERFECT had they not yet again totally fumbled the online aspects.

    Bowser's Fury by the way is as ground breaking for the Mario series as Odyssey was. Built on the same engine it brings with it a fluidity and seamlessness that the series needs if it wants to continue existing in the modern gaming era. I hope this indicates further things to come from Nintendo's lead mascot but maybe learn how to do online play in some capacity first?

    Such an incredible experience, even more if you haven't played it on Wiiu. Bowser's fury is a lovely short adventure, that would fit perfectly as a Mario Odyssey DLC. Anyway, it's really nice to have Mario 3D world on switch, along Bowser's fury.

    I loved the game for the most part This time my OCD was less of a problem so it wasn't a tarnishing experience. I love how seamless the world is where you can travel anywhere with plessy. Some of the cat shines are actually really challenging and there weren't too many of them. I only wish that the game had an underwater section since it take place on a lake but other than that, theI loved the game for the most part This time my OCD was less of a problem so it wasn't a tarnishing experience. I love how seamless the world is where you can travel anywhere with plessy. Some of the cat shines are actually really challenging and there weren't too many of them. I only wish that the game had an underwater section since it take place on a lake but other than that, the levels are good enough for a small game like this. Oh and bowser jr is in the game and on your team this time. Very nice. Note, I would've put out my thoughts on 3d world but 404 wouldn't let me. I don't know what the issue is but it could be due to writing too much. If you want my thoughts on the game, check out my review on the wii u version. Expand

    Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury not only brings back one of the best games on the Wii U, but it also brought back a new bonus mini-game that is fabulous.

    I've played both the the Wii U and the Switch versions, and I think it's safe to say that I prefer the Switch version judging by the gameplay and value. Not only did it improve upon the original version, but they added an entire new game mode that doesn't get old, unlike Lego Worlds. However, the multiplayer still sucks because the it still lacks split screen, which for me determinesI've played both the the Wii U and the Switch versions, and I think it's safe to say that I prefer the Switch version judging by the gameplay and value.

Also, I did not like the the fact that we share lives in this game, because if you have a friend who sucks at Mario you're just dead. Expand

    Excellent pacing and continually inventive ideas make this an essential game on the Switch. Bowsers Fury is the highlight of this collection, but improvements to 3D World make it a joy to play as well. Enjoyable as a single player and multiplayer game, there is a lot of value here.

    Of Mario games it's definitely one of my favorites! It provides a unique universe with pure fun, at various times in the game I felt immersed in the world of Mario, the game is so much fun!

    This game is great for a casual playthrough. 3D World is great to play solo, with a friend, with your grandma, maybe even with your dog. Maybe it isn't much of a challenge for more experienced players, but there is still fun to be found.

It is not perfect, many cat shines are a repeat of others and it is a short experience, but the small exploration elements and power-ups are what makes this a very fun game.

    If you are a Mario fan (or gamer in general) this is a no brainer.
    The graphics are amazing and you will be pleased with the gameplay.
    It's obviously worth of adding this to your collection.

    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]
