NintendObs Daily. Thursday, March 11.
I used to say Super Mario 3D World is the best 3D Mario game ever made. Well, that was before Bowser's Fury. (I would argue it's still true though since the new Mario experience is included with Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury now on Nintendo Switch.) I just beat Bowser's Fury yesterday night — on MAR10 Day!! — and the game is a mindblower. The first true open-world Super Mario game. No paintings, no kingdoms, no galaxies. Everything happens right here and there on Lake Lapcat as you pick and choose which island you want to visit and challenge as you please. Then Bowser drops all of a sudden, and the entire playing field changes with fire and fury. The challenges you were facing instantly turn into hard mode. Protip: if you're riding Plessie as you get away, just know that Fury Bowser will always jump right in front of you. That will save you and your neighbors from screaming your brains out.
