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]
