The Super Mario series was first created in 1985 when Shigeru Miyamoto developed and produced Super Mario Bros. for the Famicom in Japan and Nintendo Entertainment System elsewhere.[1][2] The game became a critical and commercial success, which warranted two more sequels on the NES.[3][4] The next entry in the series was Super Mario World for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, developed in 1990.

The port also comes packaged with a new story campaign called Bowser's Fury, which changes from the gameplay from 3D World to an open world platformer.[90][91] Alongside the release of the game, two new amiibo based on Cat Mario and Cat Peach were released separately.[92] These amiibo can be used in game to grant the player power-ups.[93]

Super Mario 3D World's gameplay remains mostly untouched in the port, whilst also adopting gameplay featured in Super Mario Odyssey.

Mario is tasked with collecting tokens known as Cat Shines to destroy the black sludge that appears throughout the world and free Bowser.[95] Bowser's Fury adapts 3D World's gameplay into an open-world environment, with segmented areas replacing individual levels.[96] Bowser Jr. can act as a guide to secrets around the game, which can be toggled.[97] Alternatively, Jr can be used in two player mode.[98] Occasionally, Fury Bowser will appear and causes fiery blocks to rain down. The player can choose to wait out the event or fight Bowser by becoming Giga Cat Mario if the player has enough Cat Shines.[91]
