2 – easily the weakest Mario game in the original collection – deserved to be included, and if Mario Sunshine – a game Mario fans inarguably have mixed feelings about – can be included in this All-Star collection, there is no reason why Mario 3D World should be left out. And if it’s missing 3D World, Mario Galaxy 2 certainly isn’t on the table. 3D All-Stars is bizarrely missing Mario 3D World. I also thought the definition of an All-Stars collection would be including all of the hits. There’s no documentary text or videos detailing the efforts it took to develop these games and there are no screenshots giving us a before and after. It’s a shame Nintendo didn’t put any effort to improve the visual fidelity of any of these games, especially since it doesn’t seem like Nintendo’s intention is preserving its graphical legacy.
SUPER MARIO SUNSHINE 64 1080 1080P
Mario Sunshine and Mario Galaxy have been upgraded to 1080p when in docked mode (720p undocked), but heartbreakingly doesn’t offer any other graphical updates. Mario 64’s resolution has been increased to 960×720, and doesn’t look as jagged as playing the original, but it’s also not much better than playing the original Nintendo 64 version with a Super 64 HD adapter attached on a 1080p monitor.
SUPER MARIO SUNSHINE 64 1080 UPGRADE
Each game is only given an aspect ratio upgrade with minimal resolution enhancements. But that’s not the approach Nintendo took for this 3D collection. Super Mario 3D All-Stars raises the question: “How does Nintendo define an All-Stars collection?” You would think it’s by including our favorite Mario games as they originally played, but with a fresh coat of paint. Each game remains great, but Nintendo’s effort to make their second All-Star collection special is pathetic. There’s just enough spit rubbed in to make sure each game works on the Switch and aren’t abject eyesores on modern TV’s. And none of the games feature any notable redesigns or makeovers. The box art is just the three games with their respective box art merely cropped to fit the Nintendo Switch case.
That’s not the case for Super Mario 3D All-Stars, the 35th anniversary collection featuring Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario Galaxy. 3 to match Super Mario World’s sounds and aesthetic. That magic continued by updating Super Mario Bros., The Lost Levels, Super Mario Bros. It showed how special and magical the collection was meant to be. When Super Mario All-Stars debuted on the Super Nintendo, the box art illustrated Mario dressed in a tuxedo and a magic wand in hand.
