    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

    This is a great collection of 2 similar yet vastly different experiences!
    Dont sleep on Bowser's Fury!
    I enjoyed it more than 3D worlds!

    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.

It is the addition of the Bowser's Fury game to the very huge world of cats, all of which confirms that it is a good bargain

    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

    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.

    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

I preferred the stars from this one than odyssey’s moons because I actually felt as if they were attainable as their isn’t as much than the insane amount of moons in Odyssey. ( But that is just me ) also find this game much more appealing because of all the amazing playable characters that you can be- instead of just Mario. The multiplayer experience is awesome but it can sometimes get quite chaotic especially in the cake level with the red and blue switch blocks;). I love this game, you should try it and see all the amazing content that this game has to offer, the multiplayer but single player experience are phenomenal and fleshed out to give you hours of entertainment. A must buy and my favourite video game, I love Super Mario! Expand

    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 !

    ...Great.

    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.

    Both games are very good, but there's basically zero replay value once you 100% both games (which isn't that hard or time consuming) unless you're into speedrunning.

Et qui sait, en fonction de la réception de Bowser's Fury, Nintendo y verra peut-être l'occasion de proposer à l'avenir une expérience complète et 100% inédite.

    This game is a must buy, not only do you get the masterpiece that is Mario 3D World, you also get an entire new game with it. The gameplay may be more simplified then the other 3D Mario games but the level design is what the game is all about.

    Very fun with friends! The levels are amazing. Not hard at all, not too easy. Since it's a port, I'm glad that Bowser's Fury was added. Although it's really short and I don't see myself playing it again.

    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]
