    Super Mario 3D All-Stars represents the pinnacle of platforming goodness and with perfect ports, as well as top notch optimisation for the console, it's a must-buy. For newcomers, they are getting the chance to experience the timeline of how Nintendo first experimented and mastered the 3D platformer, all the way up to it improving on the formula with each iteration. For stalwarts, it's a great excuse to dive back in and revisit a childhood hero in all his hat-wearing, moustache-twirling glory. Each inclusion has perfect character and level designs, as well as an ever-increasing level of innovation that simply cannot be matched by any other gaming company in the platforming genre. To sum up Super Mario 3D All-Stars in one word? Unmissable.

    Super Mario 3D All-Stars is an amazing retrospective that shows us the first few steps that the series took going into three-demensional space. Even in this original form the trilogy easily stands tall among most modern games with it's timeless game design. All we can do now is just appreciate this masterpieces and celebrate Mario's anniversary together.

    A collection of 3 marvelous, timeless titles, that could be improved upon a bit further, but still stand strong, defying the test of time. While the price should ironically be more like 35 instead of 60 and the availability should not suffer a six months long deadline, these are still one of the best Super Mario games of all time and nothing can change that. If you can get it - get it.

    It is undeniable that Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine and Super Mario Galaxy are 3 titles that border on excellence. However, as a compilation, Super Mario 3D All-Stars is far from perfect.

    The three games it encompasses are fantastic, so Mario 3D All Stars is still worth buying. However, Nintendo is, ultimately, coasting off of the back of some amazing work it did more than a decade ago to sell what is ultimately a disappointingly barebones, facile celebration of gaming’s most important icon who truly deserves better.

    Super Mario 3D All-Stars is three masterpiece games in a lacklustre package thanks to poor upgrades, contrived control choices and barely any extra content. [Issue #2, p. 72]

    The standalone games themselves of course deserve higher scores, but the way this bundle is published seems very frugal, especially considering the 60 euro price tag that comes with it. In that manner, Nintendo could learn from the honorable and generous ways in which companies like Activision re-release their classics.

In an extremely lazy and unspired format, you could get the exact same experience from roms, but Mario All Stars charges $60 for 3 games that have been out for years and didn't even do anything to change the games whatsoever. They are just roms, if you know how to use an emulator then you should just emulate instead. But for people that don't want to go through the effort of emulating the games, this works just fine. I'm giving it a 7 because the games on their own are good but the way they did it is just incredibly lazy.… Expand

Everything, from theWhile the games themselves are great and fun to play, Nintendo became truly complacent when whipping up this collection. Everything, from the UI to the implementation of the controls and limited enhancements, paints a clear picture of Nintendo resting on their laurels. The poor decision of making this game a limited time release is also pitiful, as it makes buying it more of a hassle than a fun experience. Though these are certainly detriments to the experience, I still had fun playing these games for the first time in over a decade. The nostalgia factor of all 3 releases is a big plus, but that plus alone can't make up for these issues.… Expand
