How to Use Super Mario 3D World Amazing Photo Mode + Bowser Fury

by

If you’ve read our review, you will know Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury is one of the best games on Nintendo Switch, a dual feature that brings together an underrated Wii U gem and an experimental open-world spin-off. But what you may have missed (unless you admired my screenshots) is the power of the game’s photo mode. The photosuite isn’t the most powerful option in modern video games, but it offers more than enough ways to twist the Mario verse as you see fit.

In both Super Mario 3D world and Bowser’s Fury, photo mode can be activated by pressing the direction pad. The photo mode freezes the action and allows the player to move, pan, tilt and zoom the camera, along with the option to add filters, logos and stamps. In Super Mario 3D world, certain areas limit the camera in photo mode, but Bowser’s Fury, with its larger open world, allows you to rotate the camera wherever you want, whenever you want.

What can you do in photo mode?

You can make pop art.
