New Super Mario Bros. 3 (Nintendo Switch)

New Super Mario Bros. 3 is a side-scrolling 2.5D platform game, and a launch title for the Nintendo Switch. It is the fifth and latest installment in the New Super Mario Bros. series, a sub-series of the parent Super Mario platformer series. As the sequel to New Super Mario Bros. 2, the game is a follow-up game of New Super Mario Bros. U.
This game seems to be based upon Super Mario World, as it features the Cape Feather, connected maps, returning enemies, and more. This game is also the first 2D appearance of the Broodals from Super Mario Odyssey, taking place of the Koopalings, while Madame Broode takes over as the main antagonist of the game.
== Story ==
Its story takes place after the events of New Super Mario Bros. 2 and Super Mario Odyssey, but not the events of or New Super Mario Bros. U. In the opening cutscene, Bowser invades Peach's Castle as Mario and Luigi witness the whole thing. Bowser orders the Broodals to kidnap Princess Peach, but Madame Broode throws Bowser and Bowser Jr. off the airship and becomes the new queen of the Koopa Troop. The Broodals kidnap Peach, causing Mario and Luigi to go after them.
After defeating a brainwashed King Bob-omb, Mario and Luigi come across an injured Bowser, who wants revenge on Madame Broode for betraying and overthrowing him. He joins the two, only to rescue his Koopa Troop from the Broodals and take back the throne. When the trio defeat Hariet, one of the Broodals, they notice that the other Broodals are opening a portal to another dimension, holding Peach hostage.
As the game progresses, Madame Broode brainwashed the rest of the Koopa Troop and also has a brainwashed Kamek abduct Bowser's Castle into the Dark Dimension. Mario, Luigi, and Bowser, with help from allies including Bowser Jr., also have to travel across dimensions and deal with Madame Broode's forces, including the brainwashed Koopa Troop, the Broodals, and Dark Bowser, a clone of Bowser created using dark magic who occasionally attacks the heroes. None of them is enough to stop the heroes from progressing, and Dark Bowser is erased from existence.
Arriving at the Dark Dimension, the Mario Bros. and Bowser notice that Bowser's Castle has been brought here and has been taken over by the Broodals. After reaching the castle and defeating Madame Broode, the trio moves onward, but the Broodals urge Kamek to heal their boss. After heading to the castle exterior, Mario and the others see Peach in a cage. Before they can save her, Madame Broode appears and threatens to kill Peach, causing Mario, Luigi, and Bowser to fight her to the death. Eventually, Madame Broode is defeated, and the rest of the Koopa Troop is unbrainwashed. Mario frees Peach, and she kisses him on the forehead. As the castle is suddenly teleported back to where it originally was, Bowser thanks Mario and Luigi for helping him save his kingdom from the traitorous Broodals, as the two Mario Bros. and Peach head back to Peach's Castle.
== Gameplay ==
New Super Mario Bros. 3 is a platformer game which plays very similarly to that of past New Super Mario Bros. games, especially New Super Mario Bros. U, with the addition of 3-player multiplayer, while most of the elements and design found in the game make a heavy reference to Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World, and Super Mario Odyssey. Many other gameplay elements from some of the previous games include mini-games, the Super Guide, Enemy Courses, the bubble function, the Nabbit chasing, Free-for-all, and the Yoshi riding return.
Power-ups, like the Fire Flower, Ice Flower, Cape Feather, Mega Mushroom, Mini Mushroom, Blue Shell, Super Acorn, and the Gold Flower return. The game also features a new power-up: the Chicken Suit, which transforms Mario and co. into their chicken forms, giving them the ability to flutter (similar to how Yoshi flutters), shoot eggs that bounce three times before they explode, and to hide in an egg as long as you want (but three hits it will crack open but you can always do it again).

== Trivia ==
* It is the first New Super Mario Bros. game to not have Bowser as the final boss; Madame Broode is, however.
* Multiplayer Mode (up to three players) is only unlocked when you defeat King Bob-omb and unlock Bowser.
* This has the most enemies in any New Super Mario Bros. game.
