Alongside the release of Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 this week, Nintendo has released an update for Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury on the Switch.

According to Nintendo's official support page, Version 1.2.2 addresses "several issues" to improve the overall gameplay experience. It doesn't go into any details beyond this, but if we find out what is going on behind the scenes here, we'll provide an update.

Compatibility with existing versions is also noted, so be mindful of that. Here's the full rundown:

Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury: Ver. 1.2.2 (Released September 30, 2025)

General

- Several issues have been addressed to improve the gameplay experience.

Note: Does have local user compatibility with Ver. 1.2.1-1.1.0. Does not have local user compatibility with Ver. 1.0.0. Please be careful of the update version on each player’s system.

Dataminer 'OatmealDome' has also shared some details about this recent patch. Version 1.2.2 apparently fixes a "security flaw (heap overflow) in the game's save file handling code" and "removes a bunch of debug data that was accidentally included in the retail version".

This follows a major update for this same title in June, which optimised the game's visuals and frame rate for the Switch 2. It also added HDR support in Bowser's Fury and a GameShare option.

You can find out more about the original release on Switch in our review here on Nintendo Life. Bowser's Fury is also well worth a look, if you haven't already given it a go.
