Nintendo's Super Mario 35th anniversary Twitter account has shared some new information about Bowser's Fury.
This new add-on to the Switch version of Super Mario 3D World, which Nintendo has described as a "short but action-packed" standalone adventure will apparently include an option in one of the game menus to adjust the amount of help Mario receives from Bowser Jr. in the game.
Here's a rough translation of the tweet, provided by Google translate:
"Mario teams up with Bowser Jr., who should always be an enemy. Bowser Jr. will help you, pick up items, and "help" by Mario. The degree of help can be set."
It seems there is also the ability to change the camera settings, as illustrated in the below translation:
In addition to receiving some assistance from Bowser Jr., another player can also join in on the fun and take control of him. Will you be jumping straight into Bowser's Fury when Super Mario 3D World arrives on 12th February? Tell us down below.

This could be good for anyone who wants more of a challenge!
My 6yo daughter never played the original, so we'll probably play the whole thing
I havent seen anything about this i completely forgot about it lol. Is bowsers fury like an open world thing? I'll probably pick this up since I loved 3d world so much
@FluffiestP1llow Yes, Bowser's Fury seems to be an open world-esque game.
It looks more like turning off notifications, like Navi or Fi in a Zelda game. I don't think that this has anything to do with a difficulty setting.
I can't help but feel fond of Bowser Jr, Kamek and Bowser (and all their minions) after having finished Origami King XD. Love that game.
I like having the chance to control how hard Bowser's Fury will be, btw. It always helps.
Can't wait.
@Bizaster That is an interesting concept, but Bowser Jr. is supposed to be trying to help you in Bowser's Fury, so I don't think it would make much sense.
Interesting that there's a Mario icon in the bottom left (seemingly the one from the base game) - maybe he won't be the only playable character?
@Bizaster oh, ok.
@the_beaver I was playing Origami King just yesterday! Brilliant game.
Aside from Bowser Jr, it’s still so weird and amazing that we’re even getting a “sandbox” style mini Mario game complete with full camera control bundled with 3D World. I love it!
Really disappointed that the 3D world offers 4 player and yet the bolt on bowsers fury only offers single player with co-op assist.
Somewhat tidied up translation:
“Mario teams up with would-be baddie Bowser Jr. to help take on his dad! Bowser Jr. will be on hand to cover Mario, grab items, and assist him during his quest. The degree of assistance can be adjusted.”
For the sake of openness and clarity, I should also add that the “to help take on his dad” and “during the quest” lines have been added to help the English flow better. You may ignore them if they bother you.
It’s also worth noting that the photoshopped English screenshot states Bowser Jr.‘s level of assistance to simply be ‘ON’, which is somewhat misleading as it makes the option sound binary (if it’s not ‘ON’ it’s presumably ‘OFF’). The original word is まあまあ, which I think can in this context be reasonably translated as... ‘reasonable’. As in, there is a reasonable degree of assistance, as opposed to high degree or low degree, so we may get something like HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW/NONE or just HIGH/LOW/NONE in the English version (or HEAVY/LIGHT - I’m guessing at the exact terminology). But I very much doubt it will just be ON/OFF, as there will certainly be more options than that.
how much longer until they finally reveal daisy as playable
I'm in for the co-op. Nothing more, nothing less
I 100%’ed 3D World on Wii U, but I’ll likely still finish the main campaign before diving into Bowser’s Fury. I’d just feel weird otherwise. Either way, I’ve preordered the game on the eShop and I’m raring to go!
@Lord Bowser’s Fury couldn’t exist as is with multiplayer, unless you wanna do split screen, and even then it would require some heavy adjustments.
That’s all fine if you’d rather see that, but realistically, if they were to add more 4 player content, it would be more if the same, with a fixed camera, A to B level design. That would be kinda cool, but then we probably wouldn’t have gotten this new weird add-on which I find more interesting. In a perfect world we would get both, but at that point they may as well put their efforts into a full in sequel, which was not the plan... yet.
@Bizaster the whole concept is he's trying to HELP Mario save his dad though.
@Maxz Thx 4 translation :3
But will Luigi Bros. still be playable?
I never understood the hype for this game. Yes, it had crisp level design. But I think I played through the entire first game and only died a few times. It was waaayyy too easy.
If reviews indicate the challenge gives a little respect to older audiences, perhaps I'll take a look.
“Short”, well that’s me out then..
@Maxz Yeah I noticed that mistranslation as well as maamaa can mean somewhere been a small amount or high amount of something, closer to around the middle.
I wonder if this could be a spin off entirely in the future....
