There is also a standalone campaign named ''Bowser's Fury'', which takes place in an open-world area called [[Lake Lapcat]]. After [[Bowser Jr.]] paints [[Bowser]] with black [[goop]], the latter turns into [[Fury Bowser]]. [[Mario]] must cooperate with Bowser Jr. to collect [[Cat Shine]]s and use their power to activate [[Lighthouse (Bowser's Fury)|lighthouses]] and [[Giga Bell]]s, both of which enable them to gradually rid Fury Bowser and Lake Lapcat of goop. | ||
This game was involved in two [[My Nintendo]] missions related to the [[Super Mario Bros. 35th Anniversary|''Super Mario Bros.'' 35th Anniversary]], both of which were necessary to complete to enter the My Nintendo ''Super Mario Bros.'' Sweepstakes: Wave 2; the first involved purchasing the game itself (physically or digitally), and the second involved finding five hidden stickers on the official website for the game. Four of these stickers were the main playable characters in [[Cat Mario|Cat Suit]]s, and the fifth was a [[Super Bell]]. | This game was involved in two [[My Nintendo]] missions related to the [[Super Mario Bros. 35th Anniversary|''Super Mario Bros.'' 35th Anniversary]], both of which were necessary to complete to enter the My Nintendo ''Super Mario Bros.''

Some of the visual effects have changed in terms of character movement. In some shallow pools of water, such as the beginning area of [[Pipeline Lagoon]], characters now walk on the seafloor instead of floating on the surface of the water, and the camera stops following their movement while they are doing so. Another change to the underwater movement is that the cat scratch attack has a new animation when used underwater. All characters now have a brief start-up animation when beginning to walk that was not present in the original ''Super Mario 3D World''. If a [[Captain Toad's Adventures]] level is completed as a character in their [[Small Mario|small form]], their victory pose is with their mouth open, instead of closed as in the original game. | Some of the visual effects have changed in terms of character movement.

===Story=== | |||
[[File:Bowser'sFuryPrologue.png|thumb|200px|Mario investigating the trail of black goop]] | |||
During a bright and clear day, [[Mario]] walks down a path in front of [[Peach's Castle]], seemingly the same path as the one seen at the beginning of the main ''Super Mario 3D World'' mode. He notices small puddles of black [[goop]] on the path and follows them, eventually stopping at a mass of black graffiti shaped like [[Shadow Mario]]'s logo from ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. The graffiti expands to create a portal that Mario falls through, transporting him to [[Lake Lapcat]], where a rainstorm is occurring. | |||
Shortly after Mario lands, he encounters [[Bowser]], who has become a larger and more powerful form known as [[Fury Bowser]]. Mario finds a [[Cat Shine]] in the surrounding area, which clears the goop off of a nearby [[Lighthouse (Bowser's Fury)|lighthouse]]. Fury Bowser is blinded by the beam of light that shines from the lighthouse, and retreats into the [[Fury Sun]] in the middle of Lake Lapcat. Immediately afterward, several islands emerge from the water. | |||
[[File:MarioVoidBowser'sFury.png|thumb|left|200px||Mario falling into the portal]] | |||
After Fury Bowser retreats, the storm clears and Mario finds a panicking [[Bowser Jr.]], who explains why Bowser transformed. He shows Mario a picture he painted of his father and paints it black with his [[Magic Paintbrush]], showing that Bowser Jr. was the one who corrupted Bowser. He realizes that both he and his father are in trouble, reluctantly asking Mario to help him. The latter agrees to do so, with Bowser Jr. joining him for the rest of the adventure. | |||
[[File:Bowser'sFuryVictoryPose.png|thumb|200px|Mario and the kittens striking victory poses]] | |||
Using the power of Cat Shines located throughout Lake Lapcat, Mario can make the [[Giga Bell]]s active, which allow him to transform into [[Giga Cat Mario]] and fight Fury Bowser directly. After several battles, Fury Bowser expels all the black paint inside of and on him before exploding, but he then suddenly transforms into [[Giant Bowser]], summoning all three Giga Bells and trapping them in a crystal ball to keep for himself. With the help of [[Plessie]], Mario rams into this ball to weaken and eventually break it, allowing both Mario and Plessie to collect all three Giga Bells at once. In this gargantuan form, they easily launch Giant Bowser into the sky by coming in contact with him. | |||
Finally back to normal, Bowser falls from the sky and lands near Bowser Jr. and a few colorful [[kitten]]s. The former two both become excited; however, after Bowser notices Mario, now in his normal-sized [[Cat Mario]] form, he becomes angered and attempts to attack him as Bowser Jr. holds him back. Once Bowser is dragged away, Bowser Jr. pauses and threatens Mario himself before leaving. Mario shrugs before being nuzzled by the kittens. As they jump in the air and freeze, the camera zooms out, revealing that the ground on which the scene took place was the back of Giga Cat Plessie, the form Plessie took after collecting all three Giga Bells simultaneously. The credits then roll, featuring various paintings by Bowser Jr. that depict the story from his perspective. | |||
===Gameplay=== | |||
The objective of the campaign is to free every island from the black goop that [[Fury Bowser]] is covered in by collecting [[Cat Shine]]s across [[Lake Lapcat]]. However, at slightly varying intervals of several minutes, Fury Bowser emerges from the Fury Sun and begins to rampage. When this occurs, a rainstorm begins throughout the area, [[Disaster Spike]]s fall from the sky, and Fury Bowser attacks the entire lake with large beams of fire and fireballs. All kittens and [[Neko Parent]]s on Lake Lapcat also become [[Disaster Neko|corrupted]], and attack Mario if he approaches them. Fury Bowser returns to the Fury Sun either after a brief time or if a Cat Shine is collected, as the Cat Shine powers a nearby lighthouse, and the brightness of this light forces Fury Bowser to retreat. | |||
[[File:BowsersFury-CatShine-Collected.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Mario and Bowser Jr. collecting a Cat Shine]] | |||
Extending the sandbox concept of ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', Lake Lapcat is a vast open-world setting, with more islands being gradually unlocked as Fury Bowser is defeated by Giga Cat Mario. Mario can run around the island, climb up lighthouses, and go between islands quickly by riding [[Plessie]], who teleports around the water to stay close to Mario. Every island makes usage of Mario's different power-ups and abilities. Throughout all islands, there are a variety of gameplay concepts, objects, and enemies from the main ''Super Mario 3D World'' campaign. | |||
[[Giga Bell]]s are situated in three different areas of Lake Lapcat, denoted according to the three major regions: the Lakeside, Ruins, and Wasteland. Each region contains four major islands, each with five Cat Shines, with various other Cat Shines located between major islands. The Giga Bells are corrupted due to the black goop, and can only be activated by collecting a certain amount of Cat Shines. When this happens, they will awaken during Fury Bowser's rampages and can be collected by Mario to become [[Giga Cat Mario]], who is then able to fight and damage Fury Bowser directly. | |||
A minimum of 40 Cat Shines is required to finish the campaign. However, to complete it this way, Fury Bowser's health must be lowered to less than 50% of its full value through collecting Cat Shines. If this is done before starting the fourth battle against him, it enables the player to defeat him during it. If Fury Bowser retreats during the fourth battle, the player must instead collect 50 Cat Shines to initiate the fifth battle.<ref>Nicobbq (July 9, 2021). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nRLOu3_lYw&t=10m "Can you beat Bowser's Fury if Fury Bowser NEVER LEAVES!"]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved July 9, 2021.</ref> If 47 Cat Shines are collected, Fury Bowser begins a rampage that does not end until the player collects 50 Cat Shines, awakens the Giga Bells, and defeats Fury Bowser for the final time. If he is defeated during his fourth or fifth battles, Bowser then transforms into Giant Bowser, and Mario must ride Plessie across the entire lake to chase him down. While avoiding Giant Bowser's attacks, Mario can launch off of ramps with [[Dash Panel]]s on them to hit and break the crystal ball protecting the three Giga Bells. | |||
[[File:SM3DWBF Giga Cat Mario Screenshot.jpg|thumb|200px|Giga Cat Mario claw swiping at Fury Bowser]] | |||
After Giant Bowser is defeated and the credits are viewed, the game returns to the ''Bowser's Fury'' title screen. The first time it is resumed after this, Bowser Jr. tells Mario that he was relaxing with Bowser on the lake until the latter turned back into Fury Bowser, requesting that Mario collect more Cat Shines to help restore peace. To thank Mario for helping, he then grants the ability to warp to islands he has already visited and marks the locations of new Cat Shines on the map. After this, Plessie permanently remains as Cat Plessie and gains the ability to carry kittens on its back. | |||
If all one hundred Cat Shines are collected and Giant Bowser is defeated again, an additional painting by Bowser Jr. is shown after the credits; following this, Mario's Cat Suit changes to look like a much smaller version of Giga Cat Mario, and Bowser Jr. and his [[Junior Clown Car]] become cat versions of themselves. Fury Bowser's appearance also changes, as the orange sections of his spikes, belly, and eyebrows all turn white. However, all of these changes are purely visual. | |||

!Description | |||
|- | |||
|align=center|[[File:SM3DWBF Mario Solo Art.png|150x150px]]<br>'''[[Mario]]''' | |||
|The main playable character in ''Bowser's Fury'', and the only one to return from the playable cast in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''. He controls identically to how he does in the main campaign, and can utilize power-ups to traverse [[Lake Lapcat]] and collect [[Cat Shine]]s. | |||
|- | |||
|align=center|[[File:SM3DWBF Bowser Jr Solo Art.png|150x150px]]<br>'''[[Bowser Jr.]]''' | |||
|The deuteragonist of the game, Bowser Jr. reluctantly helps Mario collect Cat Shines in an attempt to save his [[Bowser|father]] from [[Fury Bowser|corruption]]. In single-player, he is an AI-controlled helper; the player can choose to have him help a little, a lot, or not at all. Alternatively, he can be controlled by a second player in two-player mode. | |||
Unlike Mario, Bowser Jr. cannot use power-ups, but instead can fly freely in his [[Junior Clown Car]], and use his [[Magic Paintbrush]] to attack enemies or reveal items from special [[graffiti]] spots on walls. Additionally, he can use a [[Ground Pound]] attack to defeat enemies from above, and he produces items the player selects from the item storage. Mario is able to jump on him up to two times after leaving the ground; attempting to do so a third time before touching the ground again will fail, however. | |||
In single-player, the player can use the cursor (with touch or gyro controls) to send Bowser Jr. to any location on the screen by selecting it. He then swings his paintbrush once he reaches his destination. By doing this, the player can have Bowser Jr. collect items such as [[Cat Shine Shard]]s and coins for them, as he collects these items on contact. Certain locations have a yellow glow while Fury Bowser is active, and Bowser Jr. points at them while they glow; the player can send him to these spots at any time to make him investigate, usually producing a small number of coins. The only item Bowser Jr. cannot interact with that Mario can are Cat Shines, which must be contacted by Mario to register as collected. If Bowser Jr. moves too far away from Mario in single-player, he automatically teleports back to Mario; in multiplayer, the second player can do this manually. | |||
When all 100 Cat Shines are collected, Bowser Jr. gains a cat form and his Junior Clown Car gains whiskers, although both of these changes are cosmetic. | |||

|The residents of [[Lake Lapcat]]. They run away from [[Mario]] unless he is [[Cat Mario]], [[Lucky Cat Mario]], or [[White Cat Mario]]<ref>BeardBear (May 15, 2021). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBG1roysT5A "Evolution of Invincible Mario (1985 - 2021)"]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved May 28, 2021.</ref> in which case they are affectionate by nuzzling him and following him around. If Mario picks a kitten up, it scratches rapidly in front of him, which can be used to attack enemies. After the main story is completed, kittens can ride on Cat Plessie's back. If a kitten comes into contact with water or [[lava]], then it instantly teleports back to its original location. Except for calico kittens, their colors reference those of the main playable characters in ''Super Mario 3D World''. When [[Fury Bowser]] is active, kittens become [[Fury Cat|corrupted]] and attack Mario. | |||
|- | |||
|align=center|[[File:SM3DW+BF Calico Cat Parent Model.png|150x150px]]<br>'''[[Neko Parent]]s''' | |||
|Three larger cats found in each region of Lake Lapcat, who each have missing calico kittens. If Mario brings all of the kittens back to their Neko Parent, he is rewarded with a [[Cat Shine]]. Like kittens, Neko Parents become corrupted when Fury Bowser attacks. | |||
|- | |||
|align=center|[[File:SM3DWBF Plessie.png|150x150px]]<br>[[File:Catplessie.png|150x150px]]<br>'''[[Plessie]] / [[Cat Mario|Cat]] Plessie''' | |||
|Plessie returns from the ''Super Mario 3D World'' adventure, now with a more prominent role as transportation between the islands of Lake Lapcat. It now has the ability to dive, which allows it to avoid low obstacles or attacks. If it jumps right after resurfacing, it performs a high jump. After collecting the three Giga Bells at the end of the [[Giant Bowser]] battle, Plessie becomes [[Giga Cat Mario|Giga Cat Plessie]], and permanently remains as Cat Plessie after the main story is completed. | |||
|- | |||
|align=center|[[File:SM3DWBF Toad Brigade.png|200x200px]]<br>'''[[Toad Brigade]]''' | |||
|After the main story is completed, [[Toadette]] appears next to a tent on [[Fur Step Island]] and asks Mario and Bowser Jr. to find [[Captain Toad]], [[Hint Toad]], [[Banktoad]], and [[Yellow Toad (Toad Brigade)|Yellow Toad]] around Lake Lapcat, who each give a Cat Shine when found. Each Toad Brigade member then stays at the camp with Toadette. | |||
|- | |||
|align=center|[[File:SM3DWBF Rabbit.png|150x150px]]<br>'''[[Rabbit]]s''' | |||
|Rabbits from the original ''Super Mario 3D World'' return in ''Bowser's Fury''. While not as big as [[Mega Rabbit]]s, they are significantly larger, much faster, and now have the ability to run on water, making them impossible to catch without riding Plessie. Upon touching them, they release a Cat Shine and then disappear. | |||

|- | |||
|align=center|[[File:Corruptcat.png|150x150px]]<br>'''[[Disaster Neko]]''' | |||
|All kittens and Neko Parents become corrupted when Fury Bowser begins rampaging. They chase Mario upon sight and can damage him upon contact. They can be stunned if Mario or Bowser Jr. attack them, and revert to normal when Fury Bowser stops rampaging. | |||
|- | |||
|align=center|[[File:Furyshadowluigi.png|150x150px]]<br>'''[[Fury Shadow]]s''' | |||
|Dark, goop-covered enemies resembling [[Luigi]] that Mario must chase to get a Cat Shine, much like [[Shadow Mario]] in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. They must be hit three times to defeat them, and every time they are hit, they transform into a spiky black goop ball and dash away. | |||
|} | |||
====Cat variations==== | |||
While ''Bowser's Fury'' does not introduce many new enemies, many of those that come from the ''Super Mario 3D World'' campaign are seen as cat versions of themselves. While they possess cat-like features, such as cat ears, fur, and tails, their behavior is identical to that of their normal counterparts, with the one exception being [[Cat Bullet Bill]]s, which still home in on Mario. As such, Cat [[Goomba]]s in [[Lake Lapcat]] do not have the abilities of [[Cat Goomba]]s from ''Super Mario 3D World'', and instead have their standard brown color. | |||

|align=center|[[File:SM3DWBF Bowser Solo Art.png|200x150px]]<br>'''[[Fury Bowser]]''' | |||
|A gigantic, powerful form of [[Bowser]] accidentally created by [[Bowser Jr.]] by painting him with black [[goop]]. He is referred to as "the beast" by the [[Giga Bell]]s and [[lighthouse (Bowser's Fury)|lighthouses]]. Every few minutes, he emerges from the [[Fury Sun]] and begins rampaging, only taking damage if [[Mario]] collects a [[Cat Shine]]. However, [[Giga Cat Mario]] is able to battle him directly, as they are both at a similar size. Defeating Fury Bowser in direct combat gradually reveals new islands of [[Lake Lapcat]] to explore. Going between Fury Bowser's legs while he is active rewards the player with a [[Super Bell]]. | |||
|- | |||
|align=center|[[File:Catboomboom.png|200x150px]]<br>'''[[Cat Mario|Cat]] [[Boom Boom]]''' | |||
|A miniboss that appears in [[Clawswipe Colosseum]], during the "Clash with Cat Boom Boom" mission. He spins around in a closed battle arena, and retreats into his shell when jumped on. After being jumped on three times, being struck five times by Bowser Jr.'s [[Magic Paintbrush]] or [[Boomerang Mario]]'s [[Boomerang]]s, or getting hit by 15 [[fireball]]s from [[Fire Mario]], he is defeated, and yields a Cat Shine as a reward. He reappears during the "Final Bout with Cat Boom Boom" mission in the same arena, now with alternating [[Spike Trap]]s in place of the ground, and yields an additional Cat Shine when defeated again. | |||

She creates clones of herself, then throws shurikens at Mario, who must find and attack the real Pom Pom. After being jumped on three times, being struck five times by Bowser Jr.'s Magic Paintbrush or Boomerang Mario's Boomerangs, or getting hit by 15 fireballs from Fire Mario, she is defeated, and yields a Cat Shine as a reward. | |||

After being hit three times, he is defeated, and yields a Cat Shine as a reward. | |||
|- | |||
|align=center|[[File:Bowsersfuryfinalboss.png|200x150px]]<br>'''[[Giant Bowser]]''' | |||
|A gigantic form of Bowser that he transforms into after Giga Cat Mario defeats Fury Bowser for the fifth time. He retains the ability to shoot fury blasts, fireballs, and [[Disaster Spike]]s. Mario must ride [[Plessie]] to damage and break the crystal ball Giant Bowser is protecting, which contains the three Giga Bells in Lake Lapcat. Upon hitting this ball four times, Mario and Plessie break it, collect the three Giga Bells, and defeat Giant Bowser, ending the main story of the campaign. | |||
|} | |||
===Locations=== | |||
[[Lake Lapcat]] is split into three main regions, each represented by a [[Giga Bell]]. Each region contains four major islands, and each island has a lighthouse covered in black goop. By collecting a [[Cat Shine]] on any island, its power removes this goop. If Mario collects a Cat Shine, leaves the island, and returns at a later point, the layout of platforms and enemies will often be slightly changed to accommodate a newly available mission. However, upon returning, the goop on that island's lighthouse also returns, and does not permanently disappear from a lighthouse until all five Cat Shines have been collected on its island. When this occurs, a [[Fling Pole]] appears atop that island's lighthouse, with a cat variation of Mario's [[Goal Pole]] flag attached to it. | |||
There are a total of one hundred Cat Shines in the campaign, some of which can only be collected after completing the main story. Sixty Cat Shines are earned from the five different missions on each of the twelve major islands. Each island always contains a mission where five [[Cat Shine Shard]]s must be collected, and a mission where Fury Bowser must break [[Fury Block]]s with a fury blast. Other missions reappear throughout multiple islands, such as collecting [[Blue Coin]]s from a [[P Switch]], or using a [[key]] to open a [[Neko Kago]]. Thirty-five Cat Shines are earned throughout Lake Lapcat, which contains many individual Cat Shines not based in any island. Five Cat Shines are earned from a special golden island called the [[Lucky Isle]], which only begins to appear after the main story is completed. It appears in one of five set locations during Fury Bowser's rampages, and disappears when he stops rampaging. Mario must visit each of the five locations to obtain one Cat Shine each time. | |||
Fury Bowser must be battled a total of five times to complete the story. To do so, Mario must collect enough Cat Shines to activate the Giga Bells he currently has access to. Each time Fury Bowser is defeated, the number of Cat Shines needed to activate the Giga Bells increases, from 5 initially to 15 to 20 to 40 and finally to 50 Cat Shines. However, to make collecting more Cat Shines easier, more islands rise out of the water and become available to explore upon defeating Fury Bowser for the first and third times. | |||
While [[Fur Step Island]] is the first location visited in the campaign, only the first Cat Shine can be obtained before completing the main story. A large amount of black goop surrounds the area before this point, and an invisible barrier is present to prevent any attempt to bypass the goop. After the main story is completed and the player opens the save file again from the title screen, gameplay resumes on Fur Step Island, which is now clear of goop. | |||

|align=center|[[File:SM3DWBF Giga Cat Mario Art.png|100px]]<br>'''[[Giga Cat Mario]]''' | |||
|Three [[Giga Bell]]s (giant versions of [[Super Bell]]s) are present in each region of [[Lake Lapcat]]. They are initially covered in goop, and require a certain amount of [[Cat Shine]]s to uncorrupt them and use them. When used, [[Mario]] transforms into Giga Cat Mario, a giant version of [[Cat Mario]] that resembles a ''{{wp|komainu}}''. This giant form enables him to fight [[Fury Bowser]] directly and also grants immunity to goop. | |||
When all 100 Cat Shines are collected and [[Giant Bowser]] is then defeated again, the appearance of Cat Mario changes to resemble Giga Cat Mario, though this is merely aesthetic and does not change Cat Mario's abilities. This change does not appear in ''Super Mario 3D World''. | |||
|- | |||

|align=center|[[File:SM3DWBF White Cat Mario Screenshot.png|100px]]<br>'''[[White Cat Mario]]''' | |||
|align=left|The Invincibility Bell also appears in the ''Bowser's Fury'' campaign, but still can only be accessed by scanning the Cat Mario or Cat Peach [[amiibo]]. It functions identically in both campaigns. | |||

|align=center|N/A | |||
|align=center|[[File:Small Mario Artwork - Super Mario 3D World.png|x150px]]<br>'''[[Small Mario]]''' | |||
|The weakest form of Mario. Small Mario is defeated after taking a single hit and cannot break [[Brick Block]]s. He also lacks his [[Mario Cap|cap]]. | |||
During battles with Fury Bowser, if Giga Cat Mario takes damage twice, he reverts to Small Mario, although he remains giant. | |||
|- | |||
|align=center|[[File:Super Mushroom Artwork - Super Mario 3D World.png|x75px]]<br>'''[[Super Mushroom]]''' | |||
|align=center|[[File:Mario Artwork - Super Mario 3D World.png|x100px]]<br>'''[[Super Mario (form)|Super Mario]]''' | |||
|align=left|A red mushroom with white spots that transforms [[Small Mario]] into Super Mario, making him grow in size. This allows him to break Brick Blocks, take a hit from an enemy without immediately being defeated, and find higher-tiered power-ups in blocks. This is the default form of Mario. | |||
As of the 1.1.0. patch of the game, if Mario collects 100 [[coin]]s before leaving [[Fur Step Island]], only Super Mushrooms are rewarded, rather than any power-up. | |||
If Giga Cat Mario takes damage once while battling Fury Bowser, he reverts to Super Mario, but keeps his gigantic size. This state is similar to [[Mega Mario]]. | |||
|- | |||
|align=center|[[File:Super Bell Artwork - Super Mario 3D World.png|x75px]]<br>'''[[Super Bell]]''' | |||
|align=center|[[File:Cat Mario Artwork - Super Mario 3D World.png|x100px]]<br>'''[[Cat Mario]]''' | |||
|align=left|A golden bell that transforms Mario into Cat Mario, allowing him to climb walls, [[Dive|pounce]] at enemies, and swipe at enemies near him. This also allows him to attract [[kitten]]s rather than scare them. | |||
|- | |||
|align=center|[[File:Lucky Bell SM3DW Prima.jpg|x75px]]<br>'''[[Lucky Bell]]''' | |||
|align=center|[[File:Golden Statue Mario.png|x100px]]<br>'''[[Lucky Cat Mario]]''' | |||
|align=left|A bronze bell that transforms Mario into a special variation of Cat Mario with a red collar and a bronze bell resembling the Lucky Bell. This allows him to turn into an invincible golden statue called Lucky Cat Mario when [[Ground Pound]]ing, which is similar to Tanooki Mario's [[Statue Mario|Statue form]]. In this state, he collects coins while falling, and defeats most enemies that cannot otherwise be defeated. | |||
|- | |||
|align=center|[[File:Fire Flower Artwork - Super Mario 3D World.png|x75px]]<br>'''[[Fire Flower]]''' | |||
|align=center|[[File:Fire Mario Artwork - Super Mario 3D World.png|x100px]]<br>'''[[Fire Mario]]''' | |||
|align=left|A flower that transforms Mario into Fire Mario. This allows him to throw [[fireball]]s to defeat enemies. | |||
|- | |||
|align=center|[[File:SM3DW Boomerang Flower Artwork.png|x75px]]<br>'''[[Boomerang Flower]]''' | |||
|align=center|[[File:SM3DW Boomerang Mario Artwork.png|x100px]]<br>'''[[Boomerang Mario]]''' | |||
|align=left|A boomerang-shaped flower that turns Mario into Boomerang Mario, which lets him throw [[boomerang]]s to collect items or defeat enemies. The form strongly resembles [[Boomerang Bro]]s., but the colors of its boomerangs are inverted (red with a white stripe rather than white with a red stripe). | |||
|- | |||
|align=center|[[File:Super Leaf Artwork - Super Mario 3D World.png|x75px]]<br>'''[[Super Leaf]]''' | |||
|align=center|[[File:Tanooki Mario Artwork - Super Mario 3D World.png|x100px]]<br>'''[[Tanooki Mario]]''' | |||
|align=left|A brown leaf that makes Mario become Tanooki Mario, allowing him to float through the air for a short time and whip enemies with his tail. | |||
|- | |||
|align=center|[[File:Invincibility Leaf Artwork - Super Mario 3D World.png|x75px]]<br>'''[[Invincibility Leaf]]''' | |||
|align=center|[[File:White Tanooki Mario Artwork - Super Mario 3D World.png|x100px]]<br>'''[[White Tanooki Mario]]''' | |||
|align=left|A white and yellow striped leaf that makes Mario become White Tanooki Mario, which gives him the abilities of Tanooki Mario and permanent invincibility (except to black goop). Due to no [[Assist Block]]s appearing in Bowser's Fury, no Invincibility Leaves can be found naturally in Lake Lapcat. However, if the player scans the [[Cat Mario|Cat]] [[Princess Peach|Peach]] amiibo, an Invincibility Leaf sometimes appears. | |||
|- | |||
|align=center|[[File:Super Star Artwork - Super Mario 3D World.png|x75px]]<br>'''[[Super Star]]''' | |||
|align=center|[[File:SM3DWBF Invincible Mario.png|x100px]]<br>'''[[Invincible Mario]]''' | |||
|align=left|When Mario collects a Super Star, he becomes Invincible Mario, and cannot be defeated by any enemy or object (except black goop). He also runs faster for a short time and defeats most enemies he touches. The only Super Stars found naturally in Lake Lapcat are in [[Coin Heaven]]s and [[Fort Flaptrap]], but additional Super Stars can be produced anywhere by scanning an [[amiibo]] of a ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' character. | |||

|align=left|Shells originally from [[Cat Mario|Cat]] [[Koopa Troopa]]s. If Mario crouches while holding one, he will [[shell dash|enter the shell]] and can slide around for a few seconds, defeating enemies and bouncing off walls. The shell also changes color to match Mario’s theme color. | |||

|align=left|Items based on [[Goomba's Shoe]]s. After defeating the Goomba riding it, Mario can ride the Ice Skate found at the beginning of [[Slipskate Slope]]. He can also immediately ride other Ice Skates found throughout the island by coming into contact with them. While riding an Ice Skate, Mario moves faster and can defeat most enemies by coming into contact with them, but at the expense of poor movement control and the inability to stop until collding with a wall. | |||

|align=left|Cat versions of potted [[Piranha Plant]]s that Mario can hold. When Mario approaches them, they will attempt to damage him by biting him, but will be unable to if he is far enough from them. Mario can hold it, and when doing so, they eat any enemies they come in contact with. | |||

|align=center|[[File:Propeller Box Artwork - Super Mario 3D World.png|100px]] [[File:Propeller Box Mario - Super Mario 3D Land.png|100px]]<br>'''[[Propeller Box]]''' | |||

|align=left|If a [[? Block]] on top of a [[Disaster Spike]] contains [[coin]]s, Mario can hit it several times to turn it into a Coin Box. Jumping into it allows Mario to gain up to 100 coins while running until it disappears or he takes damage. | |||

|A sun-shaped object with a cat's face on it, which functions similarly to [[Power Star]]s, [[Shine Sprite]]s, and [[Power Moon]]s. They are used to uncorrupt the [[Lighthouse (Bowser's Fury)|lighthouses]] and [[Giga Bell]]s found across Lake Lapcat, and can send [[Fury Bowser]] back into slumber if he is active. | |||
|- | |||
|align=center|[[File:Catmedal.png|x75px]]<br>'''[[Cat Shine Shard]]''' | |||

|- | |||
|align=center|[[File:Plessiemedal.png|x75px]]<br>'''[[Plessie Medal]]''' | |||
|Medals with [[Plessie]]'s face on them. They are found across the waters of Lake Lapcat. If they are collected, they start timed challenges that, when completed, make a Cat Shine appear. | |||

|Coins generated from [[P Switch]]es, four of which are found during four different missions titled "Blue Coin Bustle". After one set of them is collected, another set appears, and once all sets are collected, a Cat Shine appears. | |||
|- | |||
|align=center|[[File:Coin Artwork - Super Mario 3D World.png|x75px]]<br>'''[[Coin]]''' | |||
|Collecting 100 coins grants the player a random power-up, unless they have not yet left [[Fur Step Island]] for the first time, in which case it always grants a Super Mushroom instead. Prior to the 1.1.0 update of the game, a random power-up would always be generated upon collecting 100 coins, even during this section. | |||
|- | |||
|align=center|[[File:Coin Stack Artwork - Super Mario 3D World.png|x75px]]<br>'''[[Coin pile]]''' | |||

|- | |||
|align=center|[[File:Bowserfurygpswitch.png|x100px]]<br>'''[[Ground-Pound Switch]]''' | |||
|Switches that must be [[Ground Pound]]ed by Mario to activate. When activated, they temporarily reveal a path leading to a Cat Shine, which must be collected before the time limit (usually 20 seconds) expires. They may also create a battle arena surrounding them, where Mario and [[Bowser Jr.]] must defeat every enemy for a Cat Shine. | |||
|- | |||

|Large platforms created by Fury Bowser during his rampages and plunged into either the ground or walls. Various objects such as [[Mushroom Trampoline]]s may be on them, and they can sometimes help Mario traverse the area more quickly. They vanish when Fury Bowser stops rampaging. Giant versions of Disaster Spikes are created during the fight with Fury Bowser. [[Giga Cat Mario]] can pick these up and use them to damage Fury Bowser, while [[Giant Bowser]] launches them as attacks. The golden variations, which resemble [[Moon Rock]]s, produce several coins when broken. | |||

===Differences from ''Super Mario 3D World''=== | |||
*''Bowser's Fury'' runs at a variable resolution in TV mode, which can drop to as low as 1280×720. | |||
**In handheld mode, gameplay runs at 30 frames per second. | |||
*There are no lives in this campaign. Instead, a random power-up is given for every 100 coins collected. Mario loses up to 50 coins if he is defeated, similarly to ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. | |||
*The HUD for the coin count is placed in the bottom-left corner of the screen rather than the top-left. | |||
*Instead of the item storage holding a number of items corresponding to the number of players, the player can store a maximum of five of each item: [[Super Mushroom]]s, [[Super Bell]]s, [[Fire Flower]]s, [[Super Leaf|Super Leaves]], [[Boomerang Flower]]s, and [[Lucky Bell]]s. The Lucky Bell icon does not appear in the item storage until the player has stored at least one. | |||
*The camera is fully controllable by the player. | |||
*Only one or two players are supported instead of up to four players, and it does not support online or local wireless play. | |||
*Mario is the only playable character in single-player. In multiplayer, the first player must play as Mario and the second must play as Bowser Jr., who appears exclusively in the ''Bowser's Fury'' campaign. | |||
*Mario has full 360-degree movement, instead of being restricted to eight directions. | |||
*[[Plessie]] can turn around or stop moving and can be dismounted at any time. Plessie has the ability to dive underwater before jumping. There are also new visual effects for its high jump, which can be performed in single-player instead of requiring multiple players to jump simultaneously. | |||

*Scanning the [[Bowser Jr.]] amiibo produces a Super Star in ''Super Mario 3D World'' and makes a shockwave appear that knocks out blocks and enemies in ''Bowser's Fury''. | |||
*Scanning any other amiibo of characters in the ''Super Mario'' series produces a Super Star in both campaigns. | *Scanning any other amiibo of characters in the ''Super Mario'' series produces a Super Star in both campaigns. | ||
*Scanning any amiibo outside of the ''Super Mario'' series produces a [[1-Up Mushroom]]. | *Scanning any amiibo outside of the ''Super Mario'' series produces a [[1-Up Mushroom]] in ''Super Mario 3D World'' and a [[Super Mushroom]] in ''Bowser's Fury''. | ||
In ''Bowser's Fury'', amiibo cannot be scanned at any point before leaving Fur Step Island and teaming up with Bowser Jr. | |||

*''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'': A portion of the music of [[Scamper Shores]] references the start of this game's "[[Ground Theme (Super Mario Bros. 2)|Ground Theme]]". | |||
*''[[Super Mario World]]'': The music that plays when Bowser emerges from the Fury Sun is an arrangement of Bowser's intro in this game's final battle. [[Plessie Medal]]s slightly resemble [[Dragon Coin]]s. | |||
*''[[Super Mario 64]]'': The mission "Bully the [[Cat Mario|Cat]] [[Bully|Bullies]]" is a reference to the mission "[[Bully the Bullies]]" in both the title and the theme of knocking Bullies into lava. There are also missions where Mario must return calico [[kitten]]s to their [[Neko Parent|parents]], similar to the mission "[[Li'l Penguin Lost]]". Bowser laughs when Mario dies, just like in this game. | |||
*''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'': Bowser Jr. is seen wielding his [[Magic Paintbrush]] from this game. Mario encounters [[Shadow Mario]]'s M graffiti on the ground during the intro cutscene. The way Mario chases the [[Fury Shadow]]s to get a [[Cat Shine]] is similar to how he has to chase Shadow Mario to get a [[Shine Sprite]] in this game. Likewise, Cat Shines themselves seem to reference Shine Sprites in name and function. | |||
*''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'': Cat [[Boom Boom]]'s second fight is similar to Boom Boom's fight in {{world-link|s4|airship|Special 4-Airship}}, as they both take place on top of retractable spikes. | |||
*''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'': [[Hint Toad]], [[Banktoad]], and [[Yellow Toad (Toad Brigade)|Yellow Toad]] are extra characters in the Captain Toad levels, wearing their outfits from this game.

*''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'': Snapshot Mode | *''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'': The structure of ''Bowser's Fury'' greatly resembles that of this game. Snapshot Mode and the map feature return from this game, and characters can [[Ground Pound]] through upright pipes and roll into sideways pipes to enter them faster, with the resulting sped-up warp noise being reused from this game. Saving and loading games work the same way as in this game. Mario's animation when he collects a Cat Shine resembles the animation when he collects a non-story-related [[Power Moon]] in this game. Rolling in midair is similar to the [[dive]]. When Mario is defeated in the ''Bowser's Fury'' campaign, he loses coins similar to in this game (albeit instead of losing 10 coins, they lose 50 coins). Mario's voice clips for when he falls into different kingdoms are reused for when he is transported through a portal to [[Lake Lapcat]] in this game's opening cutscene. After this cutscene, the way the player must press the jump button to gain control of Mario is similar to scenes when entering the [[Cap Kingdom|Cap]], [[Lost Kingdom|Lost]], and [[Ruined Kingdom]]s for the first time. | ||
