In total, there are 100 Cat Shines to collect, with every handful of them unlocking access to the Giga Bell - which will transform Mario into his Giga Cat form - and queue up a fight with Fury Bowser. The mechanic is not unlike the various boss fights staged within Super Mario 64, with each new Bowser encounter becoming available as Stars are rounded up, albeit one explored within one massive, singular world. It's a new twist on a proven concept, but what makes it work so well is the sprawling open-world environment that's ripe for exploring and the powerups that help make traversing it even more interesting. Add in the ability for a second player to take control of Bowser Jr., which is a fun way to rope in a partner as more of an accessory to the experience, and it quickly becomes clear how unique this offering is.
