Fans of the 3D sandbox Mario games should no doubt be excited by this, as it suggests there may not be as long a gap between Odyssey and the next game of its ilk as there was after Sunshine. Yet the casual nature of picking up cat shines in Bowser's Fury evokes the idea of Moons so much so that the mode almost looks like Super Mario Odyssey DLC - or at the very least like it was designed by a team still interested in creating that sandbox style. Mario has been collecting celestial bodies in 3D platformers since the Power Stars around Peach's Castle in Super Mario 64. Bowser's Fury looks to throw the obstacle course elements into an open sandbox with a controllable camera and collectible cat shines with a pose eerily familiar to when Mario gets a Moon in Odyssey. Meanwhile, Super Mario Odyssey was considered a return to the "sandbox" style of 3D design seen in games like Mario 64 and Sunshine - now together in Super Mario 3D All-Stars. The original Super Mario 3D World has been criticized for its linearity by some, as the epitome of the 2D obstacle course-turned-3D style also seen in its 3DS predecessor Super Mario 3D Land.

Mario's movement style and power-ups all appear to be exactly the same, and there are plenty of mechanics and environmental set pieces that carry over: Riding Plessie across the water, spinning grates that Cat Mario can latch onto, dash panels, motion-activated invisible flooring, and much more.
That isn't to say Bowser's Fury looks nothing like Super Mario 3D World. Players got their first look at Bowser's Fury via a two-minute trailer released Tuesday, and one of the most interesting things about the adventure is how much it departs from the original game it's attached to. Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury is no exception, with major additions including online multiplayer for 3D World and the titular, brand-new Bowser's Fury expansion.
Nintendo has ported or released sequels for nearly every major first-party Wii U game on the Switch, with titles like Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze and Pikmin 3 Deluxe adding new content to the experiences.
