Stop Bowser Jr.'s Dad from total destruction.

Earlier this week, Nintendo gave fans a two-minute look at the new Bowser's Fury add-on in the Switch version of Super Mario 3D World.

Since then, we've all been wondering why Bowser is so mad.

Nintendo's UK website has now revealed how he's actually been tainted by a "mysterious black goop" which requires Mario and his unlikely companion (Bowser Jr.) to travel across a series of islands on Lake Lapcat.

Together, they must collect the Cat Shines, harness the power of them and stop this new "terrifying" form of Bowser.

Something bad has happened to Bowser!

It’s up to Mario and an unlikely companion to travel across a series of islands on Lake Lapcat, collect the mysterious Cat Shines by completing different platforming challenges, and harness their power to stop the terrifying Fury Bowser!

With his papa transformed, Bowser Jr.’s only hope to save his dad lies with his greatest enemy!

If you've collected all the Cat Shines, you'll be able to take on Bowser as Giga Cat Mario:.

If you’ve collected five Cat Shines on an island, it’s time to activate the awesome power of the Giga Bell.

This gargantuan Super Bell transforms Mario into Giga Cat Mario, meaning he can fight Fury Bowser in a truly titanic tussle?

Defeat Fury Bowser in your massive feline form and he’ll be sent flying back into the water, unlocking new islands for you to explore.

Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury Will arrive next month on 12 February 2021.

When he’s not paying off a loan to Tom Nook, Liam likes to report on the latest Nintendo news and admire his library of video games.

His favourite Nintendo character used to be a guitar-playing dog, but nowadays he prefers to hang out with Judd the cat.

So you defeat Bowser on every single island.

I would say a first from Nintendo in a Mario 3D game?

Otherwise, they wouldn't bother to give the back story about Bowser Jr.

They should start making mario games similer to this, we all know it starts like this, there testing the waters if people like 3d mario games that play like this they might make games closer to it later.

@Snatcher I love the look of this and am going to enjoy the hell out of it, but I wouldn’t want 3D Mario games to continue the locked 8-way control scheme!

@andykara2003 Not all of them Its hard to say what I mean like I mean 2d 3d mario games like 3d land and world?

This does look more like a Mario Odyssey add-on than a 3D World add-on right.

It’s a shame that travelling across Lake Lapcat is the closest we’re going to get to Wave Race on the Switch..

Is Fury Sun a throwback to Angry Sun from Mario 3

@sandman89 Yes, there is a final boss in Bowser's Fury and it's very difficult

I never want to battle Giga Gooper Blooper ever again

If Bowser's Fury will be that short, they better give it some replay value to make the double dip worth it

Weird goop, Bowser Jr, Islands, cat shines

@Northwind I like that

Loved the Wii U super Mario 3D world, but I’ll have to wait a while and purchase this under a modest discount before double dipping to feel worth it

That’s been my personal policy on all rehashed Switch games I purchased on previous consoles
