Bowser's Fury/YMMV

These things about  are subjective - not everyone will agree with all of them.


 * Alternative Character Interpretation:
 * Broken Base: While a well-received game that opened up a lot more people up to the idea of 3D World getting remastered, Bowser's Fury didn't exactly squeak by controversy-free either. Is it a fun and fulfilling game in its own right, or is it too derivative of 3D World? And is this game the perfect blueprint for Mario games going forward, or not?
 * Ensemble Darkhorse: Thought Plessie was popular before? Thanks to controlling better and, his popularity has skyrocketed.
 * Ditto for the cute kittens who will snuggle up to Cat Mario.
 * Evil Is Cool: Fury Bowser looks like something you'd see on a heavy metal album cover, and his powers are downright apocalyptic. He's easily the coolest form Bowser has ever taken, guaranteed.
 * Game Breaker: AI-controlled Bowser Jr is a beast. He can point out invisible boxes containing goodies you'd otherwise miss, collect Cat Shine pieces and bypass the acrobatics you'd need to reach them, and he's a vicious enemy-killing machine who can do all the hard work of attacking the Fury Shadows for you.
 * Just Here for Godzilla: It's safe to say that this is the main driving force drumming up popularity for Super Mario 3D World's rerelease. In an age where Nintendo fans are growing more critical over the company's tendency to release overpriced ports of older games, the addition of an entirely new game bundled with an old one makes the hefty price tag worth it.
 * That One Boss:
 * The first boss fight against Fury Bowser after unlocking the Ruins Giga Bell is a huge step up from the preceding fight thanks to one deadly new attack: he'll use his shell as a wheel and try to run Mario over, leaving trails of ink behind that will mess with your speed. He's fast as hell, and spends a lot of time offscreen which makes keeping track of him a real bitch to do, even with the cursor giving you a rough approximation of where he is. And if you try to hide from him on top of the various structures on Lake Lapcat's islands, he'll leap up towards you. In later fights, he'll always shoot a bunch of spikes that you can throw at him to instantly knock him out of wheel mode, but you get no such luxury here, and there's a very real risk of being comboed to death in seconds if you're having a real bad day.
 * The 100% version of the final battle is also really tough: not the Fury Bowser portion, but
