Check it out and see if you'd enjoy such a concept.

Enjoyed those musings! Though I think a world the size of BotW filled with the kind of dense design needed for platforming challenges (compared to the vast swathes of rideable, run-able, climb-able surface areas in BotW) would be rather a lot!

Anyway, I think I'll take a punt on this so I can have some fun with my boy during lockdown. £49.99 is bloody expensive but I guess Bowser's Fury sweetens the deal according to the reviews.

Mid game spoilers:

Now the novelty of him kicking off has long worn off, it's just a pain in the arse to do the trickier stuff when he appears, because all he does is breath fire at you, and if you're doing some proper platforming there's nothing you can do to avoid it. I've ended up sitting at a shine and waiting for him to activate, collecting it and then getting it so he strawberry floats off. I wish once you'd beaten him at the 50 shine point, he'd either stay away entirely, or modify in some more interesting way.

How often does Fury Bowser actually appear? Sounds like it’s more frequent than I thought.

Hoping to get the rest of the 8 standard worlds (currently mid way through the 6th) done over the next couple of days and then I’ll be jumping on Bowser’s Fury.

Seems like every 5 minutes now, it's getting pretty tiresome. It puts you off just exploring as if you're out on the water, you're limited in hiding places, if you're engaged in a tricky bit of long platforming, he'll ruin it. So I'm either sat waiting for him to kick.off to then immediately pick up a shine so he strawberry floats off again, or avoiding something I want to do because he'll show up and make it really frustrating.

Sometimes he's around for a minute, sometimes he just stays until you manage to get a shine.
