Bowser: Quest for the New Empire

Bowser: Quest for the New Empire is a 2.5D platformer Starring Bowser. The game is developed with the assistance of Nightcap Devs. for the Nintendo Switch.
==Plot==
===Opening===
Somewhere far away from the Mushroom Kingdom, another kingdom is located. This Kingdom is known as the Karasukai Kingdom. The residents of this kingdom can be seen minding their own business.
All of the sudden, a bunch of cannon balls start flying towards the Kingdom and destroying a couple of the buildings. One resident looks at the sky and sees a bunch of airships closing in on their kingdom.
These airships turn out to be Bowser's airships.
Bowser is planning to conquer the Karasukai Kingdom and transform it into the Bowser Kingdom. Bowser and his airship fleet reach the Kingdom and Bowser jumps off his airship. He lands near the entrance of the Kingdom before letting out a roar.
==Gameplay==
This game plays like most 2D Mario games. Since you're playing as Bowser and his allies, you have a few extra abilities. These abilities include:
*Being able to shoot projectiles without a power up
*Blocking projectiles with your shell (Or your brush/wand if you're playing as Shadow Mario/Kamek)
*Being able to attack whoever is close to you.
*Having a lot of range with your Ground Pound.
Like every 2D platformer, the goal is to get past obstacles and reach the end of the levels. Every time Bowser beats a guardian of a part of the Kingdom, he will conquer that part of the Kingdom.
