I beat super mario 3d world switch and it was definitely fun. Bowser's Fury is just DLC, is it like the New Super Luigi to new super mario bros switch?

How short or long is the game. Are they really allowing us to carry 5 sets of 5 powerups? That's so broken there's gotta be a catch. I literally have cat mario, boomerang mario, fireflower and mushroom in my inventory and any time an enemy hits me I can just take another one.

I said this before while playing 3d world but I really like how useful/broken the catsuit is I just hate how it looks. And I finally got 5 cat shines and when dark bowser appeared, the giant bell in the middle made a giant cat mario, and I really am not a fan of the catsuit look at all.

Are there any tips or things I should make note of?

It should have been Mario Odyssey DLC, but they needed to get people to re-buy it if they owned it on the Wii U (which I do, so I will not buy it again).

It's supposed to be a like 5 - 8 hour little open world segment ala Odyssey.

This was never confirmed. Could just as easily be an idea once meant to be a full game but they realized it wouldn't work, so tacked it on to incentivize sales from previous owners.

Long shot but can you play as Luigi like the other games or is it just Mario? I don't mind M I just always play as Luigi if the option is there.

You could say the same for just about every port or update or sequel of a Wii U game that the Switch got.

Xenoblade X is probably the only holdout left that could be feasibly ported to the Switch.

the problem is that it's much more significant content than other ports had, and you can't buy it separately. super wack to have to buy the whole game you've already played just to play the new mode

It's the worst 3D mario experience.

Not awful or anything. But the camera does not work with the run button. There's really apparent slowdown, and mario has never looked more jaggy.

Can't blame them for wanting to try again with games that had the install base of the hardware working against them, on a much more successful platform.

i mean it's also nintendo's fault that the wii u was such a catastrophic failure

i don't have an issue with them porting over stuff, i didn't even buy a wii u. but charging full price for them and locking an entire new game mode behind a port is just beyond scummy

There is literally zero reason why Bowsers Fury, a completely standalone game, couldnt have been sold separately as the $15 product it is

Yeah, you have point when even Xenoblade 2 Torna was sold separately despite being DLC.

I hope the takeaway is not "make a giant boss fight with bowser every 10 minutes" because I can see that wearing thin pretty fast.

Found out that those metal crates that can't be broken will break if they're hit by one of those giant fireballs bowser spews out and they're hiding another cat shine. So everytime the screen goes dark I have to remember where those damn things are to have bowser break them and get the cat shine

I remember I found that out early. So, when I saw the shell starting to do its thing, I started running for them

OK I get what you mean now, I saw it, there's a giant shell in the background covered in black goop that rises to the top almost as an indicator of "its bowser time!"

Yep! Its can be missable at first if you dont know its there Once I saw that, and saw those blocks, Id figure Id try some stuff out. And once I knew he could break them, which would release a shine to get him away, I would do that But if I was close enough to getting another shine, Id just get that one But some can be hard with Bowser around

Soo... is it better to wait before getting a cat shine until Bowser appears to chip away at his health?

I haven't tested what would happen if I let myself get killed as giant mario, would all those shines go to waste and I can't access the giga cat bell, or will they give me another opportunity to be giant.

Im not sure since I cant remembered if I ever died during a fight as giant Mario IIRC, it can be pretty difficult to do. I believe that as you collect more shines, Bowser starts to come more often. What I mainly did was keep collecting shines until he starting coming out. If I was close to finishing something, I would sometimes wait until he came out to collect it. If I was just starting, I would probably find another easy shine or Bowser Blocks Unless it was cat shrine time or whatever

Speaking of, what do coins even do in this game? The game just starts automatically without giving any kind of intro or anything like that. When mario dies the coins revert back to 0 so if mario dies without any coins... it's game over? Did they do the sonic and rings thing?

100 coins for a power up, I think That said, there are so many power ups that you probably wouldnt need to worry about it. Especially since you can keep a stock of them on you I use to try to keep at least one of each with me. Especially since if you use one while wearing another, the other goes to your stock, as well

ok that makes sense I thought I was randomly getting extra powerups like bowser jr was finding them in the tall grass or something but this must be the reason why

Okay so I figured out what I like about this game, it's that I can freely explore these islands without worrying about a time limit unlike in super mario 3d world.

Sure technically giant dark bowser is something of a time limit but in fact when he appears it actually helps me get the cat shine even more! There's this one annoying island where the blue platforms are invisible and I had no idea where to go, but when bowser appears and the screen goes dark, the blue platforms appear all at once instead of one step at a time. Plus he drops those rocky platforms. And since the game gives you like 20 powerup items to hold onto, I literally just tank the fireballs when I'm walking around.

Is the ground pound jump the only addition to the mario controls since super mario 64? I like it. But it's really amazing how the controls from 30 years ago are still used today.

Even disregarding the powerups thing, I can't tell if this game is easier than 3d world or if I just have gotten better at playing these new mario platformers. Wonder/hope any skills gained is transferable to smo which I've been saving to play for much later.

OK so beat the game. That was fun. Hated the final bowser boss fight, trying to catch up to him on the dino to hit the bell bubble is terrible.

Now to 100% it and get all the shines which they helpfully display on the map and end credits screen.

Finally found the damn stamp I was missing in the lava world! That was annoying. I knew it was gonna be some BS like that, hidden in a rotating platform by gray blocks that blend into the environment and can't be broken unless I get a bomb up the platform fast enough and throw it.

100%ing the game was fun too. I swear I think after a while the bowser fights get even more frequent. I should have timed them throughout my playthrough and see how far apart they get.

Overall a great bit of DLC, fun platforming, but I hope the whole giant bowser fights are not brought back. The actual world exploration platforming was much more fun.

And boy this cat suit that 3d world introduced is so broken. If it didn't look so not good I would consider it a top tier powerup.

The fight get faster at the end. That is very true. Haha. But I did enjoy 100% it And the cat suit was worn most of the game for me I did use the money cat suit when I was high enough, though And other suits for specific things Also, I think the cat suit makes the kittens follow you
