A secondary Joy-Con controller is required for co-op 2-player mode. The cursor can also be interacted through the use of touchscreen if played in handheld mode. The star cursor is now determined by the motion of a Joy-Con rather than requiring a sensor bar, as it was in the original. Galaxy has motion controls through the use of two detached Joy-Con controllers. Additionally, despite the Switch's capability to support the GameCube controller (via an adapter) and the game originating from the console, this version doesn't support such a controller. Sunshine features an aspect ratio presentation of 16:9 hacked from the original using a Gecko widescreen code. Mario no longer says " So long, king Bowser!" when throwing him he'll instead say " Bye-bye!" Some glitches like the backwards long jump have been fixed which means it might be based on the JP version. The game's title screen has a "Press +" text, replacing the "Press Start" text to match the Switch controls. The same is applied to Mario's "M" emblem. The HUD design has been modified for an HD upgrade as well which now looks smooth and more clear.

Super Mario 3D All-Stars was officially announced on a Nintendo Direct presentation on September 3rd 2020. Super Mario 3D All-Stars is scheduled to be available on the Nintendo Switch from September 18 until March 31, 2021.Īre you planning to purchase this compilation? Which of the three games included is your favorite? Let us know in the comments section.According to video game news website Eurogamer, Nintendo referred to the compilation as Super Mario All-Stars 2 internally. "It's rare that 3D games remain fun and interesting so long after release, but it's a testament to Nintendo's designers that this feels like a crucial Switch release, something to get excited about rather than complain about yet another Mario 64 port." "The package is somewhat bare-bones, but the games included make it compelling nonetheless," writes Webster. In short, you'll be purchasing this compilation for the games themselves, not any revelatory packaging. Similar to Eurogamer, Verge writer Andrew Webster feels that Super Mario 3D All-Stars captures the greatness of the three games that Nintendo has put together, but the actual compilation leaves much to be desired. "Although the individual games have been sparingly touched up and there's little in the way of ancillary material to pore over, the titles themselves hold up well and are a delight to revisit." "Taken all together, Mario 3D All-Stars is a worthwhile collection, featuring the best versions of Mario 64, Sunshine, and Galaxy to appear on a Nintendo system," writes Knezevic. Writer Kevin Knezevic says the HD updates to all three games, which include some polished graphics and technical touch-ups, make this the best way to play Super Mario 64, Sunshine and Galaxy, but the lack of extras make the whole package less than ideal. Gamespot gave the compilation a very strong 8 out of 10 review, praising how great each individual game is in detail. Perhaps all you need to know is that this is the best commercially available way to play two of the most magical, magnificent and downright essential video games in the medium's history (and to play Super Mario Sunshine, too, of course)," writes Robinson. "It's such a shame as there's so much to enjoy here. There's barely any extra content aside from the three games, while features like save states and production extras, like artwork, are not included. While the games themselves retain their uniqueness and greatness, in Robinson's eyes, the way Nintendo has decided to put them together in one package is lackluster. A screenshot from 'Super Mario 64' NintendoĮurogamer doesn't score reviews, but reviewer Martin Robinson can't help but feel a bit underwhelmed by Nintendo's newest Super Mario compilation.
