Mario must gather cat versions of Shine Sprites to activate the large cat bell at the island’s center because Bowser is Godzilla-sized and ready to destroy the world. Only super cat super Mario can stop him.
Bowser’s Fury takes place in what looks like a mid-sized open-world sandbox, with multiple themed regions to explore and dozens of platforming challenges to overcome.
But Mario won’t be alone in all this. Bowser Jr. is along for the ride, wielding his Super Mario Sunshine paintbrush to aid Mario.
Nintendo hasn’t said whether Bowser Jr. is a non-playable character or if a second player can drop in for some Bowser’s Fury co-op play. Given the new inclusion of online multiplayer for Mario 3D World, however, we’d be surprised if co-op weren’t an option in Bowser’s Fury.
While the 3D World cat powerup takes center stage, the new Bowser’s Fury trailer shows a bevy of other powerups as well, including new classics such as Boomerang Mario. Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury releases on February 12 for Nintendo Switch.
