With\u00a0The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild<\/em>, Nintendo took one of its oldest franchises in a bold new direction. Abandoning the more linear structure of previous\u00a0Zelda<\/em> games,\u00a0Breath of the Wild<\/em> is a massive open world experience<\/a>, giving players unprecedented freedom for the franchise, while still feeling decidedly like a\u00a0Zelda<\/em> game. The gamble paid off, as\u00a0The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild<\/em>\u00a0became one of the highest-rated and most influential video games ever made. And now it’s time for Nintendo to give\u00a0Super Mario<\/em><\/strong> the\u00a0Breath of the Wild<\/em> treatment and bring the franchise to an open world.<\/p>\n

Super Mario<\/em> has experimented with open-ended sandbox video game worlds before. While the earlier\u00a0Super Mario<\/em> games are linear in structure,\u00a0Super Mario 64<\/em> features sandbox levels<\/a>, as does\u00a0Super Mario Sunshine<\/em> and\u00a0Super Mario Odyssey<\/em>. The\u00a0Super Mario Galaxy<\/em> games and\u00a0Super Mario 3D World<\/em> returned to more linear level design, but the fact remains that\u00a0Super Mario<\/em> has already dipped its toe in open world gaming.<\/p>\n

And now is the time for Nintendo to throw the\u00a0Super Mario<\/em><\/a> franchise in the open world pool, especially after a recent entry in the franchise proved how well the core gameplay would translate to an open world structure.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

If anyone doubts that the\u00a0Super Mario<\/em> franchise could excel in an open world environment, they just need to play\u00a0Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury<\/em>. The\u00a0Bowser’s Fury<\/em> portion of the\u00a0Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury<\/em> Switch release is a brand new adventure that is a small-scale representation of how a potential open world\u00a0Super Mario<\/em> game might play. It effortlessly blends open world exploration with linear\u00a0Super Mario<\/em> platforming challenges, and the result is something that feels both like old-school\u00a0Super Mario<\/em> and completely new at the same time.<\/p>\n

The setup of\u00a0Bowser’s Fury<\/em> shows Mario exploring Lake Lapcat, a large body of water with various islands dotted around it. Each island has its own secrets for Mario to discover, including objectives that can be completed to earn Cat Shines<\/a>, as well as hidden power-ups and other things of interest. Mario is at first confined to just a few islands, but as he collects Cat Shines and removes more of Fury Bowser’s corruption from Lake Lapcat, more of the lake becomes available to explore.<\/p>\n

Eventually, Mario has free reign over Lake Lapcat<\/a>, able to visit any island at will, with the ability to fast-travel added before too long. These mechanics of exposing sections of the map and fast-traveling between important areas are longtime tropes of the open world genre. But despite\u00a0Super Mario<\/em> never fully embracing an open world format, until now, these tropes feel right at home in a\u00a0Super Mario<\/em> game.<\/p>\n

Bowser’s Fury<\/em> is essentially one super-sized version of a typical\u00a0Super Mario<\/em> 3D platforming stage, and it shows that this open world formula would work very well. For the next\u00a0Super Mario<\/em> game, Nintendo could take what it’s learned with\u00a0Bowser’s Fury<\/em> and run with it, creating a full-fledged open world\u00a0Super Mario<\/em> experience. In fact, it would be surprising if Nintendo’s next main series\u00a0Super Mario<\/em> game\u00a0wasn’t<\/em> an open world experience, as\u00a0Bowser’s Fury<\/em> plays almost like a test run of those concepts.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Generally speaking, Nintendo fans and game critics seem to be in agreement that\u00a0Bowser’s Fury<\/em> is a high-quality 3D platforming experience.\u00a0Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury<\/em> reviews<\/a> have been mostly positive, with particular praise given to the new ideas found in\u00a0Bowser’s Fury<\/em>. But despite the high praise the game has earned,\u00a0Bowser’s Fury<\/em> is not without its faults.\u00a0Bowser’s Fury<\/em>‘s flaws can likely be chalked up to Nintendo experimenting with an open world\u00a0Super Mario<\/em> format, and thanks to that experimentation, the developers know what\u00a0not<\/em> to do in an open world\u00a0Super Mario<\/em> game.<\/p>\n

One aspect of\u00a0Bowser’s Fury<\/em> that has not landed well with everyone is the Fury Bowser gimmick. Essentially, Fury Bowser shows up every few minutes or so, causing a storm to overtake Lake Lapcat and make all kinds of hazards rain from the sky. Fury Bowser actively tries to attack Mario and his partner Bowser Jr.<\/a> by shooting devastating fire blasts at them, and players have to actually use these fire blasts to destroy specially-marked blocks in the game.<\/p>\n

The problem is that this interrupts the flow of the gameplay, as fans either have to wait out Fury Bowser<\/a> or go collect a Cat Shine to send him packing. Having to wait around to destroy Fury Blocks is also counterintuitive and stands at odds with the game’s generally fast-paced nature. There are other Cat Shines in the endgame where players have to wait around for Fury Bowser to arrive before they can pursue them, and while he can be summoned with amiibo, those playing the game with no amiibo are stuck literally standing around and waiting.<\/p>\n

Had these elements been stripped out of\u00a0Bowser’s Fury<\/em>, it would have been a leaner, and even better, gameplay experience. If Nintendo does decide to move forward with a full-fledged open world\u00a0Super Mario<\/em> game, it can learn from its mistakes and deliver something that pushes the long-running franchise forward in a big way.<\/p>\n
