Thank you for putting together a balanced and contextualised review, unlike other sites that put far too much significance on trees having cat ears and it not "serving a purpose"...

The interesting fact however is no-one has picked up on Luigi Bros still being an unlockable game in the Start screen of 3D World, which adds even more playability to the title that you purchase!

But Bowser's Fury is 100% a concept, and Nintendo trying out a small take on Breath of the Wild with Mario and seeing how it works. I don't see why you couldn't have a Hyrule sized map for Mario with water, sand, ice style regions put together as one world to explore. With Stars/Shines treated almost like Korok seeds and side quests. Would work perfectly fine, and I look forward to seeing where Nintendo take that concept for Mario's next major outing.
