*As with the Nintendo Switch version of ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker (Nintendo Switch / Nintendo 3DS)|Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'':
**Due to the lack of a microphone on the Nintendo Switch console, [[Propeller Platform]]s have been replaced in every level where they appeared. In [[Captain Toad Goes Forth]] and [[Puffprod Peaks]], they are substituted with [[Lift]]s.<ref>[https://youtu.be/V2H511E96Eg?t=130 Super Mario 3D World: Switch vs. Wii U Comparison - Gamespot]</ref> In [[Blast Block Skyway]], invisible [[Cloud Lift|clouds]] stand in place,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKxmjWrkSWQ&t=109</ref> while in [[Captain Toad's Fiery Finale]], [[Touchstone]]s appear in their stead.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5pLNQKLa_M</ref>

**The stamps' pictures are now colored instead of black and white, and are more spread out on the stamps page.<ref name=Overview/>
*Also due to Miiverse's discontinuation, [[Mii]]s no longer appear on the overworld or when revisiting a cleared stage.
*If the player dies after collecting a Green Star or a Stamp, they will keep it instead of having to collect it again. This does not apply to Captain Toad's levels.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5pLNQKLa_M</ref>
*Switching between the map, course list, and stamp chart is now done by pressing the {{button|ns|L}} and {{button|ns|R}} buttons, rather than buttons on the screen.

*[[Green Shell]]s can no longer be occupied idly; the shell always slides in the direction the user is facing when entered. They also move faster than in the original game.
*Fireballs move faster and cover a longer distance.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhZUGCiHRNg 10 Subtle Differences between Super Mario 3D World for Switch and Wii U]</ref> They also have a slightly different angle when thrown.
*Side somersaults can now be performed while walking.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhZUGCiHRNg 10 Subtle Differences between Super Mario 3D World for Switch and Wii U]</ref>
*Bouncing off an enemy while long jumping will result in the character doing another long jump, rather than a standard jump.
*In order to hold onto other players or grabbed objects, the player no longer has to hold {{button|ns|y}}; pressing the button again is required to throw the object/player.
*''[[Luigi Bros.]]'' can only be unlocked by defeating [[Meowser]] in [[The Great Tower of Bowser Land]] of [[World Bowser]]; having ''New Super Luigi U'' save data on the system no longer unlocks it from the beginning.
*The range for throwing objects has increased.
*Performing handstands off of trees now has varying distances with directional inputs.
*The cat dive now continuously dives until the player touches the ground, similar to ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', though it will still stop at extremely long distances.

====Aesthetic====
*The game's graphics have been slightly updated.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2H511E96Eg&t=1m18s]</ref>
*The UI has received minor changes:
**The [[Item Storage]] has been revamped with a dark translucent circle and new button icons.<ref>[https://supermario3dworld.nintendo.com/explore Super Mario™ 3D World + Bowser’s Fury for the Nintendo Switch™ system - Explore]</ref>
**The UI for lives and [[coin]]s lacks the "×" icon between the images and numbers.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20201029195746/https://twitter.com/ZephyrStarbyt/status/1321903972551069696</ref>

Ultimate]]''.<ref>@Fontendou. (February 10, 2021). [https://twitter.com/Fontendou/status/1359555315654684674 Super Mario 3D World's Switch port switches out the font it uses in its UI, this time using Rodin NTLG Pro DB instead of Seurat Pro B. Bowser's Fury also uses Rodin NTLG Pro DB. Both fonts were produced by Fontworks.]. ''Twitter''. Retrieved February 14, 2021.</ref>
*For the English version only, the game will always show the American namings and spellings for all subjects, rather than having different namings and spellings for certain subjects depending on the game's or console's region.
*The pause menus have been given a different appearance.
 
==''Bowser's Fury''==
===Story===
''Bowser's Fury'' is a new standalone adventure included in the game. In the intro to this mode, Mario is walking around a grassy field when a puddle of black goo is formed from a black graffiti of the logo of [[Shadow Mario]], which then grows. Mario falls in, and lands in a rainy [[Lake Lapcat]], falling head-first into a large footprint left by Bowser.<ref name=Opening>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/switch/auzpa/assets/mov/fury_opening.mp4 ''Bowser's Fury'' opening cutscene]</ref><ref name=JPFury">[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/switch/auzpa/furyworld/index.html Description of ''Fury World'' in the official Japanese site].</ref> After revealing the rest of Lake Lapcat by collecting a Cat Shine, he finds Bowser Jr. who tells him Bowser has been corrupted by black paint (similar to [[black paint|what happened]] in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'') causing him to transform into the gargantuan [[Fury Bowser]]. While it is never established how it happened, Bowser Jr.'s paintings in the end credits imply that he painted Bowser with black paint, which unintentionally caused his transformation. The towers on the island are covered in this paint, with the waters also covered in this substance as well as having large spiked pillars sticking out of it.
 
===Gameplay===
The game revolves around freeing every island from Fury Bowser by recovering [[Cat Shine]]s from the paint-covered lighthouses. At random time intervals, Fury Bowser periodically emerges nearby from the [[Fury Sun]].<ref>Nintendo. (January 13, 2021). [https://youtu.be/ppkX8epoD9g A Bigger Badder Bowser - Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury - Nintendo Switch]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved January 13, 2021.</ref><ref name="UKFury">[https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Games/Nintendo-Switch/Super-Mario-3D-World-Bowser-s-Fury-1832228.html#Bowser_s_Fury Description of ''Bowser's Fury'' in the Official UK site].</ref> When this happens, the weather becomes stormy and he terrorizes the surroundings of the island through large beams of fire and meteors falling from the sky.<ref name="UKFury"/> The nearby cats also become black and start attacking Mario.<ref name=JPFury"/> Bowser will fall back into slumber either after a brief period of time or if a Cat Shine is collected. On three corners of Lake Lapcat, there are Giga Bells, also fallen into slumber by the dark goop, and can only be activated by collecting a certain amount of Cat Shines. When this happens, Mario can touch the bell to become [[Giga Cat Mario]], who is then able to fight Fury Bowser and force him into slumber, allowing Mario access to more islands.<ref name="UKFury"/> Lake Lapcat is a vast open-world setting that is gradually unlocked as more locations are freed from the paint associated with Fury Bowser, extending the sandbox concept of ''Super Mario Odyssey''. Mario can run around the island, climb up the lighthouses, and go from one Giga Bell area to the others by riding [[Plessie]].<ref name=JPFury"/> Every island makes usage of Mario's different power-ups and abilities.<ref name=Overview/>

====Cat variations====
While ''Bowser's Fury'' does not introduce many new enemies, the enemies that come from ''Super Mario 3D World'' are seen with cat-like features, such as cat ears, fur, paws, and a tail, though unlike the [[Cat Goomba]]s in ''Super Mario 3D World'', these cat appearances are only aesthetic changes, without gaining any differing abilities (the only exceptions to this are [[Cat Bullet Bill]]s, which still home in on the player like their ''Super Mario 3D World'' counterpart<ref name=EarlyFullGame/>). As such, the Cat Goombas in ''Bowser's Fury'' behave like regular Goombas, and have their standard brown coloring.<ref name=Overview/> The only enemy that does not have a cat appearance is the [[Baddie Box]], though it is merely an enemy-spawning object rather than an actual enemy.

|}
 
===Locations===
[[Lake Lapcat]] is split into three main areas represented by a [[Giga Bell]]. Each Giga Bell features four different islands, with each island containing a lighthouse that is covered in goop. By collecting the first Cat Shine of the island, the goop is removed and the lighthouse's light gets rid of the goop nearby,<ref name=PressStart/> though after Fury Bowser attacks, they become covered in goop again.
 
There are a total of 100 Cat Shines in the game, some of which can only be collected after beating the final boss.<ref name=EarlyFullGame/> 60 of them come from the 12 main islands which each contain five Cat Shines, with three being standard missions, one being earned by finding the five Cat Shine Shards hidden around the island, and another earned by having Fury Bowser break some Fury Blocks to reveal it. When all five Cat Shines of an island are collected, a cat variation of the [[Goal Pole]] will appear on top of the lighthouse, which comes with a spring object.<ref name=EarlyFullGame/> 35 of them come from Lake Lapcat itself, which contains a multitude of Cat Shines that are separately counted from each other. The last five come from a special golden island called the [[Lucky Isle]], which appears post-game during a Fury Bowser rampage, but disappears when Fury Bowser goes to sleep.
 
Fury Bowser must be fought a total of six times to complete the story. To do so, Mario will need to use one of the three available Giga Bells, though, after each fight with Fury Bowser, the number of Cat Shines needed to activate the Giga Bells increases, from 5, 15, 20, 40, and 50 Cat Shines.<ref name=EarlyFullGame/> When the Giga Bell is used to defeat Fury Bowser, the next Giga Bell area will open up revealing new islands.<ref name=EarlyFullGame/>
 
On a side note, while Fur Step Island is the first location visited in the game, only the first Cat Shine can be obtained while the other four and its Cat Shine Shards can only be obtained once the main story is completed.

|Three Giga Bells, which are a giant variation of the Super Bell, are present around Lake Lapcat, and Mario uses them to transform into Giga Cat Mario, a giant version of Cat Mario that resembles a ''{{wp|komainu}}''. Mario transforms into this form to fight against Fury Bowser.<ref name=Overview/> They are initially covered in goop and require a certain amount of Cat Shines to free them and use them to fight Fury Bowser.
 
When all 100 Cat Shines are collected, Cat Mario's appearance changes to resemble Giga Cat Mario, though this is merely aesthetic and does not change Cat Mario's abilities. This change also applies to [[Lucky Cat Mario]] (excluding the golden statue form) and does not appear in ''Super Mario 3D World''.<ref name=fullreward/>

===Differences from ''Super Mario 3D World''===
===Changes===
*''Bowser's Fury'' runs at a variable resolution in TV mode, which can drop to as low as 1280x720.  
====Gameplay====
**In handheld mode, the game runs at 30 frames per second.<ref>https://youtu.be/YQEnJ05XYUY</ref>
Several enhancements are made to the overall gameplay compared to the original Wii U release. For example, all characters except Captain Toad move approximately 40% faster than in the original game, in both levels and the world map. Cutscenes that serve as the intermissions between gameplay are now able to be skipped. Various basic character movements and abilities have been enhanced: for example, characters bouncing off of an enemy while [[Long Jump]]ing now automatically perform another Long Jump, rather than a standard [[jump]], and characters jumping while facing a wall with no directional input now slide against the wall, enabling them to [[Wall Jump]]. Additionally, [[Side Somersault]]s are now able to be performed while walking. When carrying objects or other characters, players no longer are required to hold {{button|switch|y}}; pressing the button again is instead required to throw the object or character. Due to this change, [[Rosalina]] can no longer [[spin]] while holding an object or character. Throwing distance for objects and characters has also been increased. Performing handstands atop [[tree]]s has varying distances with directional inputs. When handstanding, characters turn clockwise if the player holds right, and counterclockwise if they hold left, which is reversed compared to the original version. When [[crouch]]ed on a slope, characters remain crouched for about one second before beginning to [[slide]] down it, rather than sliding the moment they touch the slope. When jumping while crouched and sliding down a slope, characters now perform a Long Jump instead of a regular jump. Rosalina has some tweaks to her gameplay: her jump is slightly less floaty and she lands slightly faster.
*There are no lives in this mode. Instead, a random power-up is given for every 100 coins collected. The player loses 50 coins upon dying similar to ''Super Mario Odyssey''.<ref name=NinjaReviews>Ninja Reviews. (January 28, 2021). [https://youtu.be/4Y9nO8_HAGM Ninja-Jordan Plays : Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved January 29, 2021.</ref>
 
*The HUD for the coin count is placed in the bottom left corner of the screen rather than the top left.
Gameplay improvements inspired from ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'' are implemented in the game. In addition to four save files now being present instead of three, they are saved, loaded, and copied in the same manner as in ''Super Mario Odyssey''. Characters can now [[roll]] in midair, similar to the [[dive]], and they can perform a roll or [[Ground Pound#Super Mario 3D World|Ground Pound Jump]] immediately after landing from a [[Ground Pound]]. Characters can also fall through upright [[Warp Pipe]]s when performing a Ground Pound through the center from above. Similarly, characters now enter sideways Warp Pipes immediately when rolling through the center without their momentum being interrupted. The sped-up variant of the Warp Pipe sound effect from ''Super Mario Odyssey'' is reused upon entering Warp Pipes in either of these ways.
*Instead of the [[Item Storage]] holding one item, Mario can store up to five Super Mushrooms, Super Bells, Fire Flowers, Super Leaves, and Boomerang Flowers each.<ref name=NL/> In addition, up to five [[Lucky Bell]]s can be stored later in the game.<ref>https://twitter.com/supermario35th/status/1358928602079793152</ref> Pressing {{button|ns|up}} opens the menu allowing the player to choose a power-up.<ref name=Informer/>
 
*The game's camera is fully controllable by the player.
To accommodate for the change in character speed, some levels, such as [[Conkdor Canyon]], have had minor alterations to the objects within them. Some general improvements include changing behaviors and properties of various objects and camera controls. Rows of [[coin]]s triggered to appear by collecting certain lone coins finish appearing faster than in the original game. The camera no longer zooms if the player remains idle in some areas, such as the beginning of [[Piranha Creeper Creek]], and the idle zoom does not reset if the player presses {{button|switch|y}} as it does in the original release. If players lose a life after collecting a [[Green Star]] or a [[Stamp]], they keep it instead of having to collect it again; this does not apply to Captain Toad's levels, however. The [[Goal Pole]] can no longer be jumped over, as characters now snap to the top if they attempt to pass it.
*The game is 1-2 players instead of 1-4 players and does not support online or local wireless play.  
{{multiple image
*Mario is the only playable character, with Bowser Jr. as a companion. Bowser Jr. only appears in the ''Bowser's Fury'' adventure.  
|align=right
*Mario has full 360-degree movement, instead of being restricted to eight directions.  
|direction=vertical
*Plessie has the ability to dive underwater before jumping. There are also new visual effects for its high jump, and can also be performed in single player. In ''Super Mario 3D World'', Plessie can only perform the high jump in multiplayer, and all players must jump at the same time to activate it.<ref name=Overview/>
|footer=The [[Propeller Platform]]s from the Wii U version (top) have been replaced with standard [[Lift]]s in the Nintendo Switch version (bottom).

|image2=SM3DWBF Puffprod Peaks Yellow Lifts.jpg
}}
Power-ups have also received improvements and alterations to their functionality. [[Green Shell]]s can no longer be occupied idly; the shell always slides in the direction the user is facing when entered, but it can be stopped by the touch cursor. They also move faster than in the original game. [[Fireball]]s move faster and cover a longer distance. They also have a slightly different angle when thrown. The [[Cat Mario|Cat forms]] now allow characters to climb higher. Additionally, the form's claw dive continuously dives until the character touches the ground, similarly to ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', though it does stop eventually at extremely long distances. For characters in the [[Tanooki Mario|Tanooki Suit]], the window to perform a [[Crouching High Jump|charge jump]] while crouched during a tail spin is now much smaller, and most attempts are cancelled out by a normal charged jump instead. It is also more difficult to perform a Long Jump while using a tail spin, as it is usually cancelled with a normal Long Jump.
 
In the world map, the yellow path that connects levels is created more quickly when a new level is unlocked. After exiting a level, the player regains control of the characters quicker, as the game now saves in the background. Switching between the map, course list, and Stamp chart is now done by pressing the {{button|switch|L}} and {{button|switch|R}} buttons, rather than buttons on the screen.
 
Multiplayer mode now supports both local wireless and [[Nintendo Switch#Nintendo Switch Online|Nintendo Switch Online]] connections. Up to two players can play on a single system in local wireless mode. In these modes, entering a [[bubble]] to rendezvous with other players can now only be performed by pressing {{button|switch|l}} and {{button|switch|r}} together instead of either one alone. [[Captain Toad's Adventures]] can now be played with up to four players, unlike in the original release where these levels were single-player only. For these levels, additional players play as the [[Toad Brigade]] members, with all players being able to select one to play as before a level begins. Similarly to normal levels, the game ranks each player's points in multiplayer in the Captain Toad levels as well, though the winning player does not get a [[crown]].
 
Improvements and alterations introduced in ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker (Nintendo Switch / Nintendo 3DS)|Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'' are retained in the Captain Toad levels for this game. Captain Toad's headlamp can now defeat [[Boo]]s and [[Peepa]]s, similarly to the [[Light Box]]. The pause menu now features the ability to retry a course, rather than having to return to the world map to do so. In TV mode, gyroscopic pointer controls replace the touchscreen controls of the Wii U version, which are activated by pressing {{button|switch|r}} (in a similar vein to the [[Star Pointer]] in the ''[[Super Mario 3D All-Stars]]'' version of ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''), and an [[emblem]] of the character controlling the pointer is present. Due to the lack of a microphone on the Nintendo Switch console, [[Propeller Platform]]s have been replaced in every level where they appeared; they are replaced by [[Lift]]s in [[Captain Toad Goes Forth]] and [[Puffprod Peaks]], invisible [[Cloud Lift|clouds]] in [[Blast Block Skyway]], and [[Touchstone]]s in [[Captain Toad's Fiery Finale]].
 
''[[Luigi Bros.]]'' can now only be unlocked by defeating [[Meowser]] in [[The Great Tower of Bowser Land]]; having ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'' save data on the system through ownership of ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]'' no longer unlocks it from the beginning. There is also now an option to quickly exit to the title screen from ''Luigi Bros.'', as opposed to being forced to exit to the Home Menu.
 
Functionality for [[#amiibo|amiibo]] has been added, accessed by pressing {{button|switch|left}}. A complete list of functionalities for them can be found in the corresponding [[#amiibo|section]].
 
Due to the lack of [[Miiverse]] on the Nintendo Switch, [[Mii]]s no longer appear on the overworld nor when revisiting a cleared stage, and any mention of Miiverse has been removed. Stamps are now used as decorations for the new [[Snapshot Mode]], which is similar to the one seen in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''.
 
====Aesthetic====
{{multiple image

|footer=The graphics and user interface in the Wii U version (top) and the Nintendo Switch version (bottom)
|width=200

}}
The user interface has received minor changes. The [[item storage]] has been revamped with a dark translucent circle and new button icons, and is now accessed by pressing {{button|switch|Down}}. The interior shadows and the "×" icon between the images and numbers in the UI for lives and coins have also been removed. The pause menus have a different interface, with the UI being smaller than in the original ''Super Mario 3D World''.
 
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 colors have been changed compared to the original game. Button prompts are red with white characters, as opposed to white with red characters and outlines. When entering a Captain Toad's Adventures level, the loading screen is red with dark red spots instead of white with red spots. The images of stamps are now colored, rather than being black and white, and they are more spread out on the stamps page.
 
A few visibility effects have been changed. A light source on top of Bowser's broken [[Bowser's Muscle Car|Muscle Car]] in [[The Great Tower of Bowser Land]] has been removed, and the rain particle effect in said level is now slightly more visible. At the end of the swimming section in [[Champion's Road]], the [[Clear Pipe]] becomes invisible within the moving body of water.
 
Changes have been made to how text and icons are presented. The typeface used for menus and general text has changed from [[List of fonts#Seurat|Seurat]] to [[List of fonts#Rodin NTLG|Rodin NTLG]], which belongs to the same font family as the typeface used in ''Super Mario Odyssey'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.<ref>Fontendo [@Fontendou] (February 10, 2021). [https://twitter.com/Fontendou/status/1359555315654684674 "Super Mario 3D World's Switch port switches out the font it uses in its UI, this time using Rodin NTLG Pro DB instead of Seurat Pro B.

During gameplay, touch input prompts now show only a hand, instead of a hand with the [[Wii U#Wii U GamePad|Wii U GamePad]]. The English version of the game always shows the American spellings and namings for all subjects, rather than having different spellings and namings for certain subjects depending on the game's or console's region.
 
In the original version, jingles in the following pitches play after collecting each [[Red Coin]] in a group of eight: C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G, G#. This has been changed to a more natural progression: C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G.

Because [[Bowser Jr.]] and Fury Bowser had not yet been confirmed to appear in ''Bowser's Fury'', the ''Bowser's Fury'' section of the box art initially only contained the logo, while the section also took up a smaller portion of the box. Because of that, [[Cat Mario|Cat]] [[Luigi]] only appears on the pre-release box, rather than the final box.

An unused power-up can be found in the game's data, named <tt>KinokoGiga</tt>, which translates to '''Giga Mushroom'''. It is an angry and larger variation of the [[Mega Mushroom]], with a color-inverted cap. As no major changes or new power-ups were added to ''Super Mario 3D World'' alone, the Giga Mushroom was most likely intended for ''Bowser's Fury''.<ref>Kibi [@KibiDoesStuff] (February 8, 2021).

Though its specific purpose is not clear, it transforms Mario into a gigantic version of [[Super Mario (form)|Super Mario]], an identical state to when Giga Cat Mario takes damage. However, the Giga Mushroom's effect is under a time limit. While it may appear to be a more extreme version of the Mega Mushroom, one key difference is that Mario can still use other power-ups while in this form. Also, the camera does not zoom out when Mario obtains the Giga Mushroom, so only his legs can be seen and not his full body.<ref>Smashy (February 26, 2021).

===Critical response===
===Critical response===
Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu rated ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury'' a score of 36/40 (two points lower than the original version's score of 38/40), praising the addition of online play and the ''Bowser's Fury'' mode for its added difficulty.<ref>[https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/super-mario-3d-world-bowsers-fury-review-published-in-famitsu/ Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury review published in Famitsu]</ref> Nintendo Life gave the game a positive review, praising both the amount of content in both modes and the additional features to the ''Super Mario 3D World'' mode. However, they were critical of the game's slower performance in handheld mode, as well as connection issues in online multiplayer. Despite these criticisms, Nintendo Life awarded ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury'' an "outstanding" 10/10.<ref>[https://www.nintendolife.com/reviews/nintendo-switch/super_mario_3d_world_plus_bowsers_fury Nintendo Life - Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury Review (Switch)]</ref>
Critical reception of ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury'' was mostly positive, with praise for the gameplay and creativity of both the original campaign and ''Bowser's Fury'', but criticism towards the stability of online multiplayer, the repetition of Fury Bowser's appearances and battles, and the performance of ''Bowser's Fury'' in handheld mode.
 
Cam Shea of {{wp|IGN}} rated the game 7/10, noting that ''Super Mario 3D World'' retained "the entertainment value from the fact that each level is typically built around a unique gameplay twist", but said that "the gameplay actually feels like a bit of an awkward fit for the presentation". They also called multiplayer "chaotic and fun, but also haphazard", and said that "''3D World''{{'}}s levels feel much more appropriate for one – or possibly two – players". When discussing ''Bowser's Fury'', they stated it was "quite cool seeing how the world is reinvented whenever Bowser blows his top", but they "did get a little tired of the constant interruptions", saying that "it quickly becomes apparent that fighting Bowser is an extremely repetitive way to restore the world".
 
Chris Scullion of {{wp|Gamer Network|Nintendo Life}} gave it a 10/10, saying the main campaign was "absolutely ''packed'' with ideas", but had issues with online multiplayer, explaining that "at the best of times there was some subtle lag (nothing major but enough to mess up the timing of some jumps) and at the worst of times there was more stuttering". They described ''Bowser's Fury'' as "sort of like what you'd get if you took a ''Super Mario 64'' or ''Odyssey'', shrunk its worlds down to tiny islands and put them all in a single large area, with no loading times or 'hub world' to separate them". They called the addition a "fun little side adventure", but noted that  "there isn't enough variety in the Shine missions"and that "the performance... also leaves a bit to be desired".
 
Steve Watts of {{wp|GameSpot}} rated the game 9/10, calling both campaigns "a candy confection of fine-tuned platforming that marries some of the best elements of 2D and 3D Mario in two very different ways". They stated that online multiplayer was "a nice but not strictly necessary addition to the core game" that had "only the occasional moment of stutter". They called ''Bowser's Fury'' "the [''Super Mario''] series at its most experimental", but questioned "if this is the kind of experiment that would work outside the narrow parameters of Bowser's Fury and live on in other Mario games". Despite "occasional frustrations", they concluded that it was "a short-but-sweet and extremely zany curiosity".

Add to that the curious bonus adventure that is Bowser's Fury and you've got a package that provides great value for money. It isn't without its flaws, but most of these (online multiplayer, repetitive missions in Bowser's Fury) relate to the new additions; the main game itself remains as pure and perfect as it was seven years ago. Had it just been Super Mario 3D World on its own, we'd be thoroughly recommending it anyway; Bowser's Fury is just the cherry on top.''"

|align="left"|"''Put together, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury is a spectacular package. Super Mario 3D World is an absolute joy of classic platforming excellence, and this is the best version of it thanks to some well-calibrated improvements. Bowser's Fury is peculiar and less polished, but it dares to poke fun at its own oddities and it has a wild creative streak. The two share thematic similarities, but more importantly, they work hand-in-hand to show the full extent of versatility in what a Mario game can be.''"

Likewise, Cat Shines themselves seem to reference Shine Sprites in name and function.
*''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'': Part of the ending theme of ''Bowser's Fury'' includes a short excerpt from "[[List of Super Mario Galaxy media#Boss Music|Enter Bowser Jr.!]]".
*''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'': The theme which plays in the first encounter with Fury Bowser on Fur Step Island is a rearrangement of Bowser's chase theme from this game. 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 are extra characters in the Captain Toad levels, wearing their outfits from this game. Additionally, their level clear animation is similar to their level clear animation from the Toad Brigade levels in the [[Bonus Episode]]. [[Toadette]] also appears in ''Bowser's Fury'' using her appearance from this game.
**[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker (Nintendo 3DS / Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch version]]: Instead of using touch controls, the player uses motion controls to control a cursor, similar to this game.

<!--Do not include Paper Mario: Color Splash here, as that is not an intentional reference and very likely coincidental.-->
*''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'': Snapshot Mode and the map feature return from this game, and characters can [[Ground Pound|ground pound]] through upright pipes and roll into sideways pipes to enter them faster. Additionally, Mario's animation when he collects a Cat Shine resembles the animation when he collects a non-story-related [[Power Moon]] in this game.<ref name=Overview/>
*''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'': Snapshot Mode returns 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. Rolling in midair is similar to the [[dive]].

Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury is an expanded port of Super Mario 3D World for the Nintendo Switch, released on February 12, 2021, as part of the 35th anniversary of Super Mario Bros. The Super Mario 3D World campaign now supports local wireless and online play with up to four players, both of which were absent from the original version. 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 Shines and use their power to activate lighthouses and Giga Bells, both of which enable them to gradually rid Fury Bowser and Lake Lapcat of goop. As of 2024, it is recognized as the twenty-sixth entry in the Super Mario series on Mario Portal.[9]

This game was involved in two My Nintendo missions related to the 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 Suits, and the fifth was a Super Bell.

New playable characters[edit]

Toad Brigade
When playing Captain Toad's Adventures levels in multiplayer, any additional players control members of the Toad Brigade, who all share the same attributes as Captain Toad (aside from lacking a flashlight, which affects Captain Toad Plays Peek-a-Boo). Before a stage starts, all players are assigned Captain Toad (P1), Hint Toad (P2), Banktoad (P3), and Yellow Toad (P4).

White Cat Mario
A white and yellow striped bell similar to the Invincibility Leaf that can only be obtained by scanning the Cat Mario or Cat Peach amiibo. It gives characters a white Cat Suit, giving them the same abilities as their normal Cat forms as well as permanent invincibility. This form is similar to White Tanooki Mario and White Raccoon Mario.

Changes[edit]

Gameplay[edit]

Several enhancements are made to the overall gameplay compared to the original Wii U release. For example, all characters except Captain Toad move approximately 40% faster than in the original game, in both levels and the world map. Cutscenes that serve as the intermissions between gameplay are now able to be skipped. Various basic character movements and abilities have been enhanced: for example, characters bouncing off of an enemy while Long Jumping now automatically perform another Long Jump, rather than a standard jump, and characters jumping while facing a wall with no directional input now slide against the wall, enabling them to Wall Jump. Additionally, Side Somersaults are now able to be performed while walking. When carrying objects or other characters, players no longer are required to hold Y Button; pressing the button again is instead required to throw the object or character. Due to this change, Rosalina can no longer spin while holding an object or character. Throwing distance for objects and characters has also been increased. Performing handstands atop trees has varying distances with directional inputs. When handstanding, characters turn clockwise if the player holds right, and counterclockwise if they hold left, which is reversed compared to the original version. When crouched on a slope, characters remain crouched for about one second before beginning to slide down it, rather than sliding the moment they touch the slope. When jumping while crouched and sliding down a slope, characters now perform a Long Jump instead of a regular jump. Rosalina has some tweaks to her gameplay: her jump is slightly less floaty and she lands slightly faster.

Gameplay improvements inspired from Super Mario Odyssey are implemented in the game. In addition to four save files now being present instead of three, they are saved, loaded, and copied in the same manner as in Super Mario Odyssey. Characters can now roll in midair, similar to the dive, and they can perform a roll or Ground Pound Jump immediately after landing from a Ground Pound. Characters can also fall through upright Warp Pipes when performing a Ground Pound through the center from above. Similarly, characters now enter sideways Warp Pipes immediately when rolling through the center without their momentum being interrupted. The sped-up variant of the Warp Pipe sound effect from Super Mario Odyssey is reused upon entering Warp Pipes in either of these ways.

To accommodate for the change in character speed, some levels, such as Conkdor Canyon, have had minor alterations to the objects within them. Some general improvements include changing behaviors and properties of various objects and camera controls. Rows of coins triggered to appear by collecting certain lone coins finish appearing faster than in the original game. The camera no longer zooms if the player remains idle in some areas, such as the beginning of Piranha Creeper Creek, and the idle zoom does not reset if the player presses Y Button as it does in the original release. If players lose a life after collecting a Green Star or a Stamp, they keep it instead of having to collect it again; this does not apply to Captain Toad's levels, however. The Goal Pole can no longer be jumped over, as characters now snap to the top if they attempt to pass it.

The Propeller Platforms from the Wii U version (top) have been replaced with standard Lifts in the Nintendo Switch version (bottom).

Power-ups have also received improvements and alterations to their functionality. Green Shells can no longer be occupied idly; the shell always slides in the direction the user is facing when entered, but it can be stopped by the touch cursor. They also move faster than in the original game. Fireballs move faster and cover a longer distance. They also have a slightly different angle when thrown. The Cat forms now allow characters to climb higher. Additionally, the form's claw dive continuously dives until the character touches the ground, similarly to Super Mario Maker 2, though it does stop eventually at extremely long distances. For characters in the Tanooki Suit, the window to perform a charge jump while crouched during a tail spin is now much smaller, and most attempts are cancelled out by a normal charged jump instead. It is also more difficult to perform a Long Jump while using a tail spin, as it is usually cancelled with a normal Long Jump.

In the world map, the yellow path that connects levels is created more quickly when a new level is unlocked. After exiting a level, the player regains control of the characters quicker, as the game now saves in the background. Switching between the map, course list, and Stamp chart is now done by pressing the L Button and R Button buttons, rather than buttons on the screen.

Multiplayer mode now supports both local wireless and Nintendo Switch Online connections. Up to two players can play on a single system in local wireless mode. In these modes, entering a bubble to rendezvous with other players can now only be performed by pressing L Button and R Button together instead of either one alone. Captain Toad's Adventures can now be played with up to four players, unlike in the original release where these levels were single-player only. For these levels, additional players play as the Toad Brigade members, with all players being able to select one to play as before a level begins. Similarly to normal levels, the game ranks each player's points in multiplayer in the Captain Toad levels as well, though the winning player does not get a crown.

Improvements and alterations introduced in Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker are retained in the Captain Toad levels for this game. Captain Toad's headlamp can now defeat Boos and Peepas, similarly to the Light Box. The pause menu now features the ability to retry a course, rather than having to return to the world map to do so. In TV mode, gyroscopic pointer controls replace the touchscreen controls of the Wii U version, which are activated by pressing R Button (in a similar vein to the Star Pointer in the Super Mario 3D All-Stars version of Super Mario Galaxy), and an emblem of the character controlling the pointer is present. Due to the lack of a microphone on the Nintendo Switch console, Propeller Platforms have been replaced in every level where they appeared; they are replaced by Lifts in Captain Toad Goes Forth and Puffprod Peaks, invisible clouds in Blast Block Skyway, and Touchstones in Captain Toad's Fiery Finale.

Luigi Bros. can now only be unlocked by defeating Meowser in The Great Tower of Bowser Land; having New Super Luigi U save data on the system through ownership of New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe no longer unlocks it from the beginning. There is also now an option to quickly exit to the title screen from Luigi Bros., as opposed to being forced to exit to the Home Menu.

Functionality for amiibo has been added, accessed by pressing Left Button. A complete list of functionalities for them can be found in the corresponding section.

Due to the lack of Miiverse on the Nintendo Switch, Miis no longer appear on the overworld nor when revisiting a cleared stage, and any mention of Miiverse has been removed. Stamps are now used as decorations for the new Snapshot Mode, which is similar to the one seen in Super Mario Odyssey.

Aesthetic[edit]

The user interface has received minor changes. The item storage has been revamped with a dark translucent circle and new button icons, and is now accessed by pressing Down Button. The interior shadows and the "×" icon between the images and numbers in the UI for lives and coins have also been removed. The pause menus have a different interface, with the UI being smaller than in the original Super Mario 3D World.

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 form, their victory pose is with their mouth open, instead of closed as in the original game.

Some of the colors have been changed compared to the original game. Button prompts are red with white characters, as opposed to white with red characters and outlines. When entering a Captain Toad's Adventures level, the loading screen is red with dark red spots instead of white with red spots. The images of stamps are now colored, rather than being black and white, and they are more spread out on the stamps page.

A few visibility effects have been changed. A light source on top of Bowser's broken Muscle Car in The Great Tower of Bowser Land has been removed, and the rain particle effect in said level is now slightly more visible. At the end of the swimming section in Champion's Road, the Clear Pipe becomes invisible within the moving body of water.

Changes have been made to how text and icons are presented. The typeface used for menus and general text has changed from Seurat to Rodin NTLG, which belongs to the same font family as the typeface used in Super Mario Odyssey and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.[10] On the world map, the Sprixie Princess' "Help!" text before a world's castle is completed has been changed to "HELP!" During gameplay, touch input prompts now show only a hand, instead of a hand with the Wii U GamePad. The English version of the game always shows the American spellings and namings for all subjects, rather than having different spellings and namings for certain subjects depending on the game's or console's region.

In the original version, jingles in the following pitches play after collecting each Red Coin in a group of eight: C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G, G#. This has been changed to a more natural progression: C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G.

Bowser's Fury[edit]

Pre-release and unused content[edit]

Initial box art[edit]

Because Bowser Jr. and Fury Bowser had not yet been confirmed to appear in Bowser's Fury, the Bowser's Fury section of the box art initially only contained the logo, while the section also took up a smaller portion of the box. Because of that, Cat Luigi only appears on the pre-release box, rather than the final box.

An unused power-up can be found in the game's data, named KinokoGiga, which translates to Giga Mushroom. It is an angry and larger variation of the Mega Mushroom, with a color-inverted cap. As no major changes or new power-ups were added to Super Mario 3D World alone, the Giga Mushroom was most likely intended for Bowser's Fury.[33]

Though its specific purpose is not clear, it transforms Mario into a gigantic version of Super Mario, an identical state to when Giga Cat Mario takes damage. However, the Giga Mushroom's effect is under a time limit. While it may appear to be a more extreme version of the Mega Mushroom, one key difference is that Mario can still use other power-ups while in this form. Also, the camera does not zoom out when Mario obtains the Giga Mushroom, so only his legs can be seen and not his full body.[34]

Although the credits list the staff in alphabetical order without specifying their roles, as in Super Mario 3D Land and Super Mario 3D World, the list includes several staff members from Nintendo Software Technology Corporation, the developer of the Mario vs. Donkey Kong series.

This was the last mainline Super Mario game in which Charles Martinet voiced Mario and Luigi before retiring from the role in 2023.

Reception[edit]

Critical response[edit]

Critical reception of Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury was mostly positive, with praise for the gameplay and creativity of both the original campaign and Bowser's Fury, but criticism towards the stability of online multiplayer, the repetition of Fury Bowser's appearances and battles, and the performance of Bowser's Fury in handheld mode.

Cam Shea of IGN rated the game 7/10, noting that Super Mario 3D World retained "the entertainment value from the fact that each level is typically built around a unique gameplay twist", but said that "the gameplay actually feels like a bit of an awkward fit for the presentation". They also called multiplayer "chaotic and fun, but also haphazard", and said that "3D World's levels feel much more appropriate for one – or possibly two – players". When discussing Bowser's Fury, they stated it was "quite cool seeing how the world is reinvented whenever Bowser blows his top", but they "did get a little tired of the constant interruptions", saying that "it quickly becomes apparent that fighting Bowser is an extremely repetitive way to restore the world".

Chris Scullion of Nintendo Life gave it a 10/10, saying the main campaign was "absolutely packed with ideas", but had issues with online multiplayer, explaining that "at the best of times there was some subtle lag (nothing major but enough to mess up the timing of some jumps) and at the worst of times there was more stuttering". They described Bowser's Fury as "sort of like what you'd get if you took a Super Mario 64 or Odyssey, shrunk its worlds down to tiny islands and put them all in a single large area, with no loading times or 'hub world' to separate them". They called the addition a "fun little side adventure", but noted that "there isn't enough variety in the Shine missions"and that "the performance... also leaves a bit to be desired".

Steve Watts of GameSpot rated the game 9/10, calling both campaigns "a candy confection of fine-tuned platforming that marries some of the best elements of 2D and 3D Mario in two very different ways". They stated that online multiplayer was "a nice but not strictly necessary addition to the core game" that had "only the occasional moment of stutter". They called Bowser's Fury "the [Super Mario] series at its most experimental", but questioned "if this is the kind of experiment that would work outside the narrow parameters of Bowser's Fury and live on in other Mario games". Despite "occasional frustrations", they concluded that it was "a short-but-sweet and extremely zany curiosity".

Reviews
Release Reviewer, Publication Score Comment
Nintendo Switch Cam Shea, IGN 7/10 "Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury packs a tonne of engaging gameplay, but neither component comes together as elegantly as it might have done. This is a solid option if you're craving more Super Mario for your Switch, but it’s not the moustachioed must-play I was hoping for."
Nintendo Switch Chris Scullion, Nintendo Life 10/10 "Super Mario 3D World remains one of the better linear Mario games, and anyone playing it for the first time is in for an absolute treat. Add to that the curious bonus adventure that is Bowser's Fury and you've got a package that provides great value for money. It isn't without its flaws, but most of these (online multiplayer, repetitive missions in Bowser's Fury) relate to the new additions; the main game itself remains as pure and perfect as it was seven years ago. Had it just been Super Mario 3D World on its own, we'd be thoroughly recommending it anyway; Bowser's Fury is just the cherry on top."
Nintendo Switch Steve Watts, GameSpot 9/10 "Put together, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury is a spectacular package. Super Mario 3D World is an absolute joy of classic platforming excellence, and this is the best version of it thanks to some well-calibrated improvements. Bowser's Fury is peculiar and less polished, but it dares to poke fun at its own oddities and it has a wild creative streak. The two share thematic similarities, but more importantly, they work hand-in-hand to show the full extent of versatility in what a Mario game can be."

References to other games[edit]

  • Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker: Hint Toad, Banktoad, and Yellow Toad are extra characters in the Captain Toad levels, wearing their outfits from this game. Additionally, their level clear animation is similar to their level clear animation from the Toad Brigade levels in the Bonus Episode.
  • Super Mario Odyssey: Snapshot Mode returns 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. Rolling in midair is similar to the dive.
