Super Mario 3D All-Stars (Nintendo Switch)

Product Information

Anniversary, Nintendo released Super Mario 3D All-Stars, a collection of three classic Mario games, on Nintendo Switch. Mario is hurtled into space, but luckily gets found by Rosalina, a watcher of the cosmos and the adoptive mother of star-shaped Lumas.

The line we’re fed in the 3D All-Star’s announcement, though –“graphics updated to HD resolution and optimised for Nintendo Switch”– feels more true for the former point than the latter. Since Super Mario Galaxy is supported in handheld mode, there shouldn't be any problems playing on the Nintendo Switch Lite. While it was great to have three classic Mario games in one package, the overall experience just didn't live up to my expectations.

I will say the smaller updates to the games are so dumb, Mario 64 got sightly better graphics, Sunshine got a wider screen, which makes no sense, and can't the others do the same, and I forgot about Galaxy.

Overall this game isn't garbage, but other games truly do the classic games they were trying to be back justice, like Crash. A day-one patch was released on September 16, 2020, and it fixed and adjusted the display for Co-Star Mode in Super Mario Galaxy as well as several other issues. Yo que no había podido jugar al 64 ni al Sunshine, he disfrutado mucho de estos juegos, aunque la remasterización podría ser bastante mejor. The music for the opening demo is still included in the game's soundtrack within the collection regardless, as well as being used in promotional trailers for the compilation. Algunos angulos y la cámara en según que situaciones no ayuda, por lo que en algunos momentos se le ven las costuras.It’s worth noting that each game supports a different number of languages, too, and it’s odd that Nintendo isn’t offering a unified localization experience across the 3D All Stars trilogy. While it doesn’t reach the heights of spectacle of later Mario games on superior hardware, it was a milestone in the early days of 3D game design, and it’s still lively and imaginative, from the talking Bob-ombs and elusive white rabbits to the magical paintings that host the game's varied levels.

Super Mario 3D All-Stars Announced for Switch, Includes Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario Galaxy". According to Kenta Motokura, the project's producer, the developers interviewed the games' original staff to learn of each's importance. The Stereo/Mono/Surround option is removed, likely due to the Nintendo Switch already having such an option in its settings. It bundles together three great platformers, all of which benefit from the bump up to HD resolutions, and Nintendo have done well to adapt the varying controls to suit the Nintendo Switch, but there's a squandered opportunity to enhance and go beyond this in a meaningful way.

As everyone celebrates, Bowser suddenly appears and lifts the castle—and Princess Peach—into space, leaving Mario stranded in orbit! 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.
