Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury is available at Mascom International for KSh 7,900, brand new and sealed as a physical Nintendo Switch game cartridge. Published by Nintendo and developed by Nintendo EAD Tokyo, it pairs the full 3D World platform campaign with Bowser's Fury, a separate free-roaming adventure made for this release. Up to four players can share the main campaign, and the Switch version adds online multiplayer. Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury sits on the shelf at our shop in the Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, where you can check the factory seal before paying.
Built for families, siblings and flatmates across Kenya, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury turns one console into a shared evening of platforming. Parents in Kilimani and Westlands tell us it is the game that gets the whole house playing together, because the levels are short and the controls are simple. University students at Kenyatta and JKUAT pick Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury for hostel co-op nights. When KPLC cuts power, a charged Switch keeps the game running in handheld mode, so a blackout does not end the session. It also fills a long matatu ride from Rongai or Ruiru without needing any mobile data.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that mix resealed or pre-owned cartridges with fresh stock, Mascom International sells this title factory sealed, with a 6-month warranty on the card itself. Buyers throughout Kenya report that a sealed Nintendo cartridge holds its resale value well, which makes Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury a sensible purchase even for a household that finishes it quickly. You can pay by M-Pesa in store or on delivery, and it makes an easy birthday or Christmas gift. Walk into our Kimathi Street shop, or order on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery to any county.
Common Questions About the Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury
How much is Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury in Kenya?
Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury costs KSh 7,900 at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD, brand new and factory sealed. That price covers the physical Nintendo Switch game card in its retail case and a 6-month warranty against a faulty cartridge that will not read. Delivery is pay-on-arrival, so you hand over cash or M-Pesa only once the sealed game is in your hands. Withon our Switch shelf, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe sits KSh 900 lower at KSh 7,000.
How many players can play Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury together?
The 3D World campaign supports up to four players at once, sharing a single pool of lives. Each player picks a character and moves through the same level, so younger children can follow older siblings. The Switch release adds online multiplayer and opens the Captain Toad stages to four-player co-op. In Bowser's Fury, a second player can take control of Bowser Jr. and help collect Cat Shines. Extra players need their own controllers or one Joy-Con each, which Mascom International can advise on in store.
What do you get in Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury?
Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury puts two separate games on one cartridge. The first is the full 3D World campaign, a stage-by-stage platformer with the Cat Mario power-up, now with faster character movement than the original Wii U release. The second is Bowser's Fury, set at Lake Lapcat, where Mario teams up with Bowser Jr. against Fury Bowser. You roam freely between islands collecting Cat Shines, then ring the Giga Bell to become Giga Cat Mario and fight back.
Will Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury play on Switch Lite, Switch OLED and Switch 2?
Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury plays on the original Nintendo Switch, the Switch OLED and the Switch Lite. On the Lite you play in handheld mode, since that console does not connect to a TV. Nintendo Switch 2 accepts original Switch game cards through backward compatibility, and Nintendo says most Switch titles run on it, so this cartridge should carry over if you upgrade. Ask Mascom International on WhatsApp if you want the latest compatibility note before buying for a Switch 2.
Is Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury good for power cuts and commuting in Kenya?
Yes, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury runs entirely offline from the cartridge, so it suits Kenyan conditions well. During a KPLC outage, a charged Switch or Switch Lite keeps playing in handheld mode with no router or TV needed. On a matatu or a long bus ride to Nakuru or Eldoret, the short 3D World stages fit neatly between stops. You only need Safaricom or Airtel data for the occasional game update and for online co-op, never for solo play.
Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury or Kirby and the Forgotten Land: which should you buy?
Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury costs KSh 7,900 at Mascom International, KSh 400 more than Kirby and the Forgotten Land at KSh 7,500. Mario offers two games in one, four-player co-op and online play, which suits big families and friend groups. Kirby is a single adventure with a gentler difficulty curve and fewer players at once. Pick Mario for a crowded living room in Nairobi; pick Kirby for one or two younger players who want a relaxed first 3D game.
Do you need internet or Nintendo Switch Online to play Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury?
No internet is needed for single-player or local co-op in Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury; the full game runs from the cartridge. Online multiplayer with friends in other homes needs a paid Nintendo Switch Online membership and a stable connection. Safaricom Home Fibre or a strong Airtel 4G line handles online sessions, though a weak signal can cause lag. A small download of updates over Wi-Fi is worth doing once after you first insert the card.
Who should buy Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, and who should skip it?
Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury suits families with children, couples who game together and anyone who enjoys bright, skill-based platforming. It also suits collectors building a core Nintendo library. Skip it if you mainly want racing with friends, where Mario Kart 8 Deluxe at KSh 7,000 is the better fit. Skip it too if you want a long story with creature collecting and exploration, where Pokémon Legends: Arceus at KSh 8,500 offers far more hours of single-player content.
Technical Specifications
Gameplay and Core Function
- Genre: 3D platformer from Nintendo — you run, jump and climb through themed obstacle courses to reach a goal pole.
- Two games on one card — the full 3D World campaign plus Bowser's Fury, a separate free-roaming island adventure with its own story.
- Cat Mario power-up — a cat suit lets characters climb walls and pounce, which opens shortcuts and hidden collectibles in many stages.
- Faster base movement than the Wii U original — characters respond more quickly, which makes tricky jumps easier for beginners and children.
- Snapshot mode with stamps — pause the action to take and decorate screenshots, then share them from the console album.
- Bowser's Fury Giga Bell — collecting Cat Shines unlocks Giga Cat Mario for giant boss battles against Fury Bowser across Lake Lapcat.
Console Compatibility
- Nintendo Switch original model — plays on a TV through the dock, on a table in tabletop mode, or handheld.
- Nintendo Switch OLED — runs the same cartridge, with the larger 7-inch OLED screen giving richer colour in handheld play.
- Nintendo Switch Lite — plays in handheld mode only, because the Lite does not connect to a television at all.
- Nintendo Switch 2 — accepts original Switch game cards through backward compatibility; Nintendo states most Switch titles run on it.
- Multiplayer controllers — each extra local player needs a controller or a single Joy-Con, bought separately from the game.
- amiibo support — Cat Mario and Cat Peach figures, sold separately, spawn bonus power-ups inside the game when scanned.
Cartridge Build and Storage
- Nintendo Switch game card — a small flash cartridge that slots into the top of the console, with no disc to scratch.
- Runs directly from the card — no full install needed, so the game will not fill the console's internal storage.
- Save data lives on the console — progress stays on your Switch, so lending the cartridge never wipes your saved stages.
- Updates download to console memory — a small Wi-Fi or mobile data download keeps the game on its latest version.
- Physical ownership — the card can be lent to a friend, gifted to a cousin or resold later, unlike a digital download.
- Storage care — keep the card in its case away from dust and direct heat, especially in a hot car or matatu.
- No region lock on Switch game cards — a copy bought in Kenya plays on consoles bought in Dubai, the UK or the US.
Inclusions and Accessories
- Physical Nintendo Switch game cartridge of the full title, factory sealed in its retail case.
- Retail case with printed cover art, useful for gifting and for holding resale value later.
- Online multiplayer requires a separate Nintendo Switch Online membership, paid through Nintendo's own store.
- No controllers, amiibo figures or download codes come with the game; these are bought separately.
- Developed by Nintendo EAD Tokyo and published by Nintendo, so the cartridge is a first-party release rather than a licensed third-party port.
- Payment by M-Pesa or cash at our Kimathi Street counter, or pay-on-arrival delivery once the sealed case is in your hands.
- Released worldwide on 12 February 2021, the Switch version has sold over 13 million units, according to Nintendo's reported figures.
