Developer: Nintendo Software Technology/EPD 8.Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury review This is Nintendo taking Mario somewhere it's never really been before, and the results - while a little lumpy in places - are never anything less than fascinating. Bowser's Fury, the generously sized standalone expansion included in the Switch re-release of Super Mario 3D World, is Mario as a very modern open world game a sandbox with the edges slowly being pushed back to reveal the map in its entirety, where there are towers to climb, secrets to unearth and even what amounts to a day/night cycle with bad weather rolling in to herald the coming of dark. Mario has been many things over the years, but this, I'm sure, is a first. 3D World's feast of all things Mario is joined by a fittingly experimental, hugely enjoyable - if slightly scrappy - expansion.
