Got an opportunity to play 3d World. When getting the Switch game you get the base game and the DLC which is a difference experience I will outline at the bottom.
Starting with 3D world base game, it was an absolute treat. I had much more fun then expected! The levels are well designed and the collectables are MOSTLY obtainable. Basically the game rewards you for exploring. The diversity of the levels create variety of gameplay which is always welcomed. When exploring the hub world, there are bonus areas (such as timed challenges and Captain Toad levels) that made it exciting to progress.
Occasionally you get bonus rooms to gain some extra lives or power-ups. Speaking of power-ups, although only 5 power-ups, which displayed classic power-ups such as the fire flower and original power-ups like the cat suit. The new power-ups I found to be the most unique throughout.
I like how you can choose your characters along with the ability to have multiplayer where as many as 4 players at the same time can cause chaos.
The only issues I had with the game were some collectables were cryptic to find and had on a rare occasion look them up as I wanted to play the final Captain Toad level. I also found about 10 levels had a high difficulty spike and can easily frustrate due to being unexpected. There was a level in World 4 that was more challenging then any level in World 5 (World 5 is my fav World).
Despite the levels listed, there was quite a few levels that were too easy and lacked a serious challenge even in areas in World 6, hence the difficulty imbalance.
There is a special power-up to aid players if they get stuck and die several times. Even with it's flaws I highly recommend for a seriously fun time, 86%.
The addition to Bowers Fury was a smart choice. This seriously adds value to the Wii U port making it worthwhile. Think of it as a hybrid to Mario 64 and Mario 3d World.
In summary, I loved Bower's Fury! Dare I say, more than Mario Odyssey. Reason being is each main collectable (shrine), had a task to complete to get it and were consistent in challenge and difficulty.
There was one shrine I can curse and hate getting, it wasn't hard but super annoying and costs me many attempts.
Otherwise my main complaint is, I wanted more and hope they expand on this concept. It took me about 10 hours to 100% Bowsers Fury and would encourage all to do try it out. 97%
