Topic: Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury

I got it also for bowsers fury. I still have the Wii u copy. After completing it 100% not disappointed with it although I would love more. It was a short game but each shine felt valuable. I kind of enjoyed it more than mario oddyssey for that reason as finding purple coins in SMO felt more valuable than finding moons.

@1UP_MARIO Yeah, in a way Bowser's Fury plays the way I was hoping Odyssey would. It's short but very sweet.

@1UP_MARIO @jump @Zeldafan79 I prefer the way Cat Shines are distributed in Bowser's Fury. Instead of there being a massive overload of Moons there's a relatively focused amount of shines. I like the size of the world, which could potentially set a standard for Mario games like this; except a full sized Mario fame could be the size of four or five of the world found in Bowser's Fury.

I admit it feels a bit empty at times but the platforming challenges were really fun. Final boss was a massive adrenaline overload.

@TheJGG @jump
Yea the platforming was great in bowsers fury. My favourite and most memorable shine was crisp climb castle, finding all the shards was great as three of them was on great locations and hidden well

Check out how much you can resell a physical copy for in your area, that net amount may be worth it to you

I think Lake Lapcat may be about the equivalent of one world in a future game, so we could see a full game about 6-8 times as large. Really if you look at the way Bowser's Fury is structured, it's somewhat like a world map in a traditional linear Mario game.

I think going forward, these open world hubs are going to replace the map screens. Instead of running around a static map to tiny dots representing the levels and loading into them, you wander around a hub world and just walk straight to the level. Then in between levels, you could explore the overworld for even more Stars/Shines/whatever. That would be the perfect blend of sandbox and linear gameplay.

@1UP_MARIO I love all the plessie shines, the ones where you ride through his picture in the water to start them... Pure Nintendo platforming fun at it's best.

I finally managed to complete Champions Road as Peach with the Tanooki suit.
By the end I was consistently able to get to the boost pad section, nice to feel my practice passing off.

In one attempt I died just as I was about to touch the warp box at the end of the boost pad section, painful.

Rosalina is cute as a button in cat form.

I like her voice. It's in coherent English and has a really mature, almost French feel to it.

Tonight I went back and nabbed any collectables I missed (using Peach made collecting that one Green Star in the nighttime Creeper Plant level a lot easier), so I should now have everything before "Boss Blitz" completed.

Next time I'll tackle "Boss Blitz" and then hopefully be able to access the final world.

@RR529 Speaking of Boss Blitz I tried it with two Cat Suits. I died during Motley Bossblob's third phase.

Strange thought but why is Cat Mario yellow? The others have matching colours when in catform so he should be red. This is a plot hole as big as why is Mario controlling the mind control hat when the hat is on him.

@jump because Mario and cappie team up to save their girls. Cappie could capture Mario if he wanted it.

@jump I didn't even realise the disparity until you pointed it out. I doubt red would have worked very well, or maybe it would have, I don't know.

This is a small recolour. I did it with Preview, explaining why it's not the most accurate.

If it doesn't work imagine it based off the image.

@Balta666 that still doesn't answer how is Mario controlling Cappy. It's because Cappy is actually tricking you into thinking you're in control of Mario so he can secretly and systematically take over the other kingdoms. The truth is out there. ;p

In anycase I was asking about why isn't Cat Mario red.

@TheJGG yeah, it's gonna be red Cat Mario looks ugly but if he was brown to match his hair or change the design so it's dungarees over the cat costume it would make more sense to me.

I think a bright red Cat Mario would have worked nicely, the change to yellow is a bit odd

Not sure if it's a spoiler to name unlockable characters here but there is another character whose cat form colour was not what I was expecting

@TheJGG
I don't know if this is how other people fight Motley BossBlob, but as soon as he lands on that final jump of each cycle and is literally just beginning to disperse into the little metallic clones, I'm already jumping into the middle of it all and 99% of the time just land right on him and skip any kind of running around. It is pretty much a blind jump guessing at the center, but I've had excellent luck with it. And if you have the cat suit you can even give a swipe or two if you don't happen to land directly on him.

Beautiful:

Maybe they designed Mario's cat form before they made the decision to make it a multiplayer capable game, and thus didn't think he needed to be color coded?

Historically, other suits like the Tanooki, Frog, & Penguin don't keep in line with his base color pallet.
