Alongside the release of Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury, Cat Mario and Cat Peach are getting two new amiibo. Those won’t be the only compatible figures, however. Nintendo says that Bowser and Bowser Jr., two characters that also play big roles in the game, “have special activations in Bowser’s Fury”.

If you don’t have these amiibo, there’s no need to worry. According to Nintendo, the Bowser and Bowser. Jr figures “will also be returning for purchase at select retailers”.
