Earlier this week, Nintendo offered fans a two-minute look at the new Bowser’s Fury add-on to the Switch version of Super Mario 3D World. Since then, we’ve all wondered why Bowser is so crazy.
Nintendo’s website in the UK has now revealed how it has actually been tainted by a “mysterious black goop” that requires Mario and his unlikely companion (Bowser Jr.) to travel across a series of islands to the lake. Lapcat.
Together, they must pick up the Cat Shines, seize power, and stop this new “terrifying” form of Bowser.
Something bad has happened to Bowser. He has seen it contaminated by a mysterious black wolf, which turns him into a huge monster dedicated to total destruction.
It is up to Mario and an unlikely companion to travel through a series of islands to Lake Lapcat, collect the mysterious Cat Shines completing different platform challenges and harness their power to stop the terrifying Fury Bowser.
With his father transformed, Bowser Jr.’s only hope. to save his father he encounters his greatest enemy. Driving his Koopa clown car, the young prince joins Mario on his mission, copying all his moves, helping him take out enemies and discovering power-ups and other secrets that will help you.
Pass a Joy-Con to a friend and play in local co-op, with a player taking control of the little tyke directly to help you find Cat Shines.
While playing this complementary content, you will need to watch the “Fury Sun”. When the weather changes, you better watch out!
As you search for the high and low Cat Shines, the evil-looking Fury Sun will slowly emerge from the lake, near the island where you are.
When the weather changes from sun to storm, it’s time to move on, as Fury Bowser is almost there. Once out of the Fury Sun, he will summon meteors from the sky and fire beams at you, so cover yourself!
If you have collected all the Cat Shines, you can take Bowser as Giga Cat Mario:
While you can expect devastation, you are not entirely powerless. If you’ve picked up five Cat Shines on an island, it’s time to activate the incredible power of the Giga bell. This gargantuan Super Bell transforms Mario into Giga Cat Mario, which means he can fight Fury Bowser into a real titan.
Defeat Fury Bowser in your massive feline form and you will be sent flying into the water, unlocking new islands to explore. Don’t spend too much time celebrating your victory, as it will return …
Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury will arrive next month on February 12, 2021.
