Following the reveal of the Mario-inspired Red + Blue Nintendo Switch console earlier this morning, Nintendo also showed off the latest Super Mario adventure for fans to partake in with Super Mario 3D + Bowser’s Fury. Bowser pretty much goes Super Saiyan in the Fury reveal, offering a different way to experience a beloved universe.
While some Nintendo fans will already be aware of what Super Mario 3D World has to offer from the original on the Wii U, the Super Mario 3D World and Bowser’s Fury bundle will have more than a few new content drops to enjoy. With 3D World, players can take to colorful levels to play solo or with friends as they transform into iconic Nintendo characters like Peach, Toad, and the popular Mario brothers themselves.

“We hope players enjoy pouncing their way through two great Mario adventures in Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury, with lots of feline fun to be had whether playing solo or with family and friends,” said Nick Chavez, Nintendo of America’s Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing when talking about the company’s latest announcement. “Along with the Nintendo Switch – Mario Red & Blue Edition system, we’re delighted to offer these new products that mark more than 35 years of Super Mario adventures.”
Two new Amiibo have also been revealed for the new title with the Cat Mario and Cat Peach figures that unlock special power-ups in-game.
In addition to the new game and system reveal, Nintendo also revealed the Super Mario Bros. World Count Challenge special event. According to the company:
A Nintendo Switch Online membership offers access to the competitive online battle game, Super Mario Bros. 35, for fans looking for a twist on a classic challenge. Players can put their Mario skills to the test during the Super Mario Bros. 35 World Count Challenge, which will be held three times from January to March.
To achieve the goal of the first Super Mario Bros. 35 World Count Challenge, players must work together to defeat 3.5 million Bowsers during the event period, which runs from 11 p.m. PT on Jan. 18 to 10:59 p.m. PT on Jan. 25. In addition to the 35-Player Battle mode, in which players can defeat Bowser as part of the regular gameplay, the Special Battle that week will feature courses with additional opportunities to battle with Bowser. During the event period, if the number of total Bowsers defeated in the game by players around the world rises to 3.5 million, individual players who defeat at least one Bowser will be eligible to receive 350 My Nintendo Platinum Points.
