Super Mario


Bowser's Fury is a new mode that is added to Super Mario 3D World's Nintendo Switch remake, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury. The story takes place at an island called Lake Lapcat. It is displayed as a sunny area with clouds until Fury Bowser appears (then the thunderstorms & night time display). Its most prominent feature is a black cat bell on an island that is surrounded by several more islands in a spooky, rainy setting. The trailer for it has the camera pass over one of those other islands before stopping at the aforementioned island with the black cat bell. There are a total of 12 amazing islands to visit in the whole game mode.

Throughout the mode, Mario works together with Bowser Jr. to stop Bowser who was mutated into a gargantuan monster called Fury Bowser. Mario battles Bowser a total of 7 times with the Giga Bell, which can be unlocked by collecting 5, 15, 20, 40, 50 and 100 Cat Shines. You can also spawn Fury Bowser by using the Bowser Amiibo.

Story[]

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. 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.

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.

Using the power of Cat Shines located throughout Lake Lapcat, Mario can make the Giga Bells 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 being launched out of the water of the lake, but upon landing he 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 kittens. 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.
