Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury

Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury
Also known as: Super Mario 3D World + Fury World (JP) Developer: Nintendo Publisher: Nintendo Platform: Nintendo Switch Released internationally: February 12, 2021 This game has hidden development-related text. This game has unused models. This game has debugging material.

Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury = a pretty solid package. Super Mario 3D World is a port of the Wii U game, while Bowser's Fury is a brand-new game in which Mario forms an uneasy alliance with Bowser Jr. to put a stop to a giant, corrupted form of Bowser known as Fury Bowser, featuring a lot of elements from both 3D World and 2017's Super Mario Odyssey.

To do: Plessie apparently has code for being able to hold five players at once. Leftover Wii Remote/Wii U message data for Luigi Bros. Files were left in DebugData this time. BgmDataBaseForDebug.szs. "DepthTex" texture bundled with many models in ObjectData. HeapSizeDefine.szs. Is it the same as the Wii U original? DebugMenuList and DebugMenuListTest. Supposed Odyssey leftovers?

Unused Models

KinokoGiga

An unused Giga Mushroom powerup named KinokoGiga can be found in the game data. It has 7 animations, but each one contains no data. Presumably, this powerup would have been used in Bowser's Fury and acted similar to the Giga Bell, turning Mario into Giga Mario.

Unused Sounds

Toadette

To do: Find these sounds and rip them.

Toadette has sounds for being selected, which are ripped from Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker. It is unknown whether she was planned to be a 6th character for regular gameplay, or a multiplayer character for the Captain Toad levels.

She is playable in Super Mario Maker 2's 3D World level style, so it isn't a stretch to think that she may have been planned to be playable in this port as well, using the resources created for her in that game.

SVN 1887

This text file shows that the game was built off a version of the source code from November 25, 2020, around 3 months before the release date. It was built automatically by Jenkins, an automated build system used by Nintendo. The word "Monitor" on the third line is probably the build target. "SVN 1887" most likely corresponds to the SVN revision number of the source code. Similar build information files can be found in the 3DS/Switch port of Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker & Photos with Mario.

MiiFairy Text File

Despite the removal of all Miiverse-related functionality, the Mii Fairy's model remains. However, the model archive was actually updated, now including a stray text file named material_update_txt.txt. It seems to show the file path and filename of one of the source textures.

NES Cheat Codes

To do: These can probably be found in Wii U and maybe 3DS virtual console titles too. Decode the format and work out what each cheat one does.

/LuigiBros/debug/cheat_code/ contains some text files containing cheat codes for some NES games.

Leftover Wii U Virtual Console Sounds

/LuigiBros/snd/wiiu_shared.bfsar is a sound archive left over from the Wii U version when it used the Wii U Virtual Console menu. The Switch release does not use said menu, so this file goes unused.

Oddities

Propeller Platforms

Due to the lack of a microphone on the Nintendo Switch, all Propeller Platforms (normally activated by blowing into the Wii U Gamepad's mic) have been replaced with normal yellow moving platforms. However, on the world map, the propeller noise from the Propeller Platform can be heard when the normal yellow platforms move in the level's "miniature". See World 2-2 for instance.

Another interesting thing to note is that World 2-2's internal name is TouchAndMikeStage, despite no longer having the Propeller Platforms.

Shadow Mario

The filename of the archive that stores the data for how to move the Fury Shadows across the map is named ShadowMarioData.szs. This suggests that the Fury Shadows were originally based on Mario, and not Luigi.

Internal Project Name

According to strings in the game's executable and BuildInfo.txt, the game's internal name is RedCarpet-S. This continues the trend of first-party Wii U games ported to the Switch having "-S" added to the end of the original project name.
