Bowser’s Fury feels more like a prolonged boss battle while also trying to complete a standard level. Both games are great for different reasons. Super Mario 3D World is best when played with multiple players. It’s the multiplayer game Odyssey wasn’t. While Bowser’s Fury is a condensed, tougher version of Odyssey.

Super Mario 3D World is one of our favorite multiplayer games. There’s four of us roaming around the screen so there’s always something to laugh about. Even though we’ve completed every level we still go back through many levels since they’re so much fun. Gargantuan Grotto is a favorite due to so many mega mushrooms.

If you’re a fan of any Mario side scroller then you should give this game a try. The 3D world is very different from any side scroller and takes some getting used to. I still have a hard time landing on small platforms, but falling off screen is all part of the fun.

Whether you’re a casual or intense gamer Super Mario 3D World has a lot to offer. There are tons of levels, boss fights, and bonus stages in 3D World. Each with varying levels of difficulty. The most difficult level, Champion’s Road, isn’t required since it’s after beating the final boss Bowser.

If you’re looking for a fun Mario game 3D World is one of the best multiplayer games available. Bowser’s Fury does offer two player mode, it’s really a solo player game since the camera stays on Mario not Bowser Jr.

Super Mario 3D World is similar to Super Mario Odyssey, Super Mario Galaxy, and Super Mario 64. All are 3D worlds for you to explore. The graphics and sounds vary across these games with Odyssey being the best but Galaxy a close second.

Still, the gameplay for many 3D worlds is alike in many ways. The levels themselves vary widely across these games. Which makes each one unique. Super Mario 3D World differs in that it allows up to 4 players.

The best part about Super Mario 3D World is the multiplayer action. Even with 4 players it’s a lot of fun. Nintendo finds a balance between the screen size and the camera angle for 4 players. I didn’t feel lost or fighting to stay on screen with 4 players moving around.

The exception was when everyone had the invincible tanooki or the fire-flower power up. Then it got a little tricky to keep track your character.

The game is huge with many levels, hidden features, and boss fights. There’s plenty to explore and keep you occupied. That being said, it isn’t the hardest game I’ve ever played. Sure there’s some tricky jumps and surprise enemies in places. Still, overall it isn’t a very challenging game. Except Championship Road, that’s definitely one of the top five hardest levels of all time.

Our Super Mario 3D World gives it 8 out of 10 stars. Mostly for the huge size, multiplayer action, and the bonus game: Bowser’s Fury. Both have great graphics, sounds, and gameplay. 3D world is definitely the easier of the two. If you’re a Mario fan you’ll enjoy Super Mario 3D World and Bowser’s Fury!

Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury – Review
brought to you by: David M.

I’m David M. I’ve been playing video games a long time, my pong game was fire. Now, my kids run circles around me but we always have a good time. We mostly play party and family games. Strategy and battle games are still among my favorites. I like writing about games almost as much as I do playing them. My favorite games are: Moving Out 2, Out of Space and Overcooked All You Can Eat.
