No game before Mario 64, including the 2D Mario games, had made bouncing around the world while doing nothing this much fun.Īnd remarkably, even 24 years later, that’s still true. I just ran around, climbing trees, sliding in the grass, and swimming through the moat, simply for the fun of it. The first time I dropped into the courtyard of Princess Peach’s castle, it melted my brain. There had been 3D games before, but none of them felt as fluid and alive as Mario 64. If you weren’t playing games when Super Mario 64 came out (maybe because you didn’t exist yet), it’s hard to describe what a revelation it was. Whether the collection is right for you really depends on how you feel about each individual game, and the Switch-specific enhancements that have been brought to them. Despite every entry being a 3D Mario game, the titles are vastly different from one another.

Nintendo has now collected three of the most memorable 3D Mario entries into a single package for Nintendo Switch: Super Mario 3D All-Stars includes Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario Galaxy.

Sometimes it’s for better, and sometimes for worse. The 3D Marios have introduced new mechanics, while veering off in unexpected directions. While the 2D Mario games have been progressive, often building from the one that came before, the 3D entries tend to diverge pretty wildly from one another.
