Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury is a fantastic package that showcases what makes Nintendo games so special. Super Mario 3D World is just as good as when it released, and Bower's Fury is a surprisingly good standalone adventure that paves the way for the future of Mario.

Opinions on what the best 3D Mario titles are varied and polarizing. Is 3D World the best 3D Mario outing? For a game that came out nearly a decade ago, it still feels fairly new, which is not something that can be said of other recently released Mario ports. And while Bowser's Fury may not be a full-fledged game, I almost cried when it was done, aching for more open-world Mario goodness. With all due respect to Super Mario Odyssey, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury is the definitive Mario experience available on the Switch right now.

Super Mario 3D World was already a fantastic Mario title that alone made it worth owning a Wii U back in the day.

It's also as strange as Mario's team-up with a sentient hat that for some reason lets him Being John Malkovich a dinosaur.

Anyone who missed the original on Wii U, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury is a must own for their Nintendo Switch library. It may not make a whole lot of sense, but the platforming action is so focused and confidently designed. It is a constant stream of creative ideas and stimulating gameplay that is very hard to put down.

To this day, Super Mario 3D World remains one of the best 3D Mario games that utilises the classic 2D platform style. Sure, it’s not on the grandiose scale of Super Mario Odyssey, but it never intended to be. Designed for couch co-op and online multiplayer, it certainly deserves its time in the Switch port limelight. And while Bowser’s Fury isn’t quite up to scratch, it offers those who owned the original pause for thought. After all, the euphoria from catnip only lasts so long.

Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury is a must-have for Nintendo Switch owners. The Japanese start the year with another strong position... And you have to be aware that this is just the beginning.

Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury once again proves that Nintendo is the master of platformers. Even though the Super Mario 3D World was initially released for Wii U, it is still superior to most platformers out there. Bowser's Fury is also an excellent addition. It has some minor flaws, but the overall experience is delightful. There are some minor problems in the Co-op part, but, all and all, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury is a must-buy for anyone loving platformers or having a Nintendo Switch.

Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury isn’t perfect, but it gets close. The gameplay is superb, the visuals are improved on Switch, and there is so much to do and see that players will be busy for hours. Switch has been a godsend for software that didn’t get the shot it deserved on Wii U, and 3D World is definitely a game that more people should play. Online multiplayer is a tad lacking, but if you’re out for an expertly crafted, stunning platformer, this is the premier Mario game on the console.

Whilst this isn't a game that represents great value, it's still excellent fun. Bowser's Fury is a nice, if a little short, addition to a game which didn't get the attention it deserved due to the failure of the Wii U.

The new release for Super Mario 3D World is literally two games at the price of one, Mario 3D World is still one of the best 3D Platformers to try.. And with the addition of Bowser's Fury that gives you a completely new experience + enjoyment, in My opinion one of the best releases from Nintendo, what a way to celebrate Super Mario Bros. 35th Anniversary
