Takes the freedom of Odyssey's kingdoms and runs with it - it works so well that open world Mario has to be the concept for the next mainline game. It's basically a tech demo, but though it's only 3-4 hours to 100% it's so good to just work around the islands with your power ups or ride Plessie about.

The Fury Bowser idea works for the most part, though I found myself either waiting it out or ending it as soon as I could - if there was a version where this was completely omitted I'd be much happier, his frequent interruptions marring an otherwise fantastic game.
