New Super Mario Bros. 3 (Nintendo Switch game)

New Super Mario Bros. 3 is a side-scrolling 2.5D platformer game for the Nintendo Switch, and the 5th and latest installment of the New Super Mario Bros. series. It is a direct sequel to New Super Mario Bros. 2, and New Super Mario Bros. U. It is also the first Mario series appearance of .GIFfany from Gravity Falls.

Story
Mario, Luigi, Toad, and .GIFfany are having a picnic with Princess Peach near the castle, when all of a sudden... Bowser and his Koopalings appear in their airships. Bowser then jumps out his airship and kidnaps Princess Peach. When the heroes hear Princess Peach's distress call, Bowser stops them right in their tracks, sending Mario, Luigi, Toad, and .GIFfany into another part of the Mushroom Kingdom called Mushroom Gulf. Can Mario and company save Princess Peach from Bowser?
