    Really outdated, the camera controls in the first 2 games are terrible, and Sunshine is waaaay too twitchy. I remembered these games much better than they actually are. Edited to 2 after playing Hotel lobby's secret, what **** game design.

    These are all great games but lets be honest, zero effort was put into making this collection.

    And why wasn't Mario Galaxy 2 included!!!!???

    Shame on you Nintendo.

    This game is sorely understood and is judged on stupid parameters. It isn't supposed to be a ground-up remake of the three games like the Final Fantasy VII Remake. It was released during Mario's 35th Anniversary, and is meant to catch up the younger players on Mario's previous games.

    honestly, **** you Nintendo, don't get me wrong, these are great games, and are worth your time. BUT, does a 60 dollar collection of 13+ year old games with no extra content and nothing else in it that I cant get from emulation seem worth the SIXTY DOLLARS you are going to be paying for it.

    Oh, and I guess mario galaxy 2 or 3D land don't exist either!

    If you really want to play these games just use an emulator. project 64 can play mario 64 and the dolphin emulator can play sunshine and galaxy 1 and 2! for free.
    you can even get widescreen, a 60fps patch and up the resolutions.

    yeah what about the homebrew hacks that you can get up and running on your switch hardware, or the PC port that, with the right tools, can be played on the switch with hd models and textures,

    I've heard of Nintendo using an emulator to emulate these games and just improving the games looks by a little. You can literally own the original games and download them onto an emulator. I heard of an emulator called dolphin where you can push the resolution up to 4 f***ing K!

    It's Mario games so its hard to go wrong with the value of the games. Taking off points since its a limited time collection, and the ports were wonky on release. Some patches have made the games smoother, but I wish there was more in the collection besides some music tracks. Feels rushed.

    The games included are some of the best games ever created. 64, Sunshine, and Galaxy are still amazing, and slight improvements like a single button for the spin jump in Galaxy improve the game significantly. For some of these games, 3D All-Stars is the definitive way to play, and perfect if you've always wanted to check these games out or just want to revisit them.

    However, this is brought down by the quality of the collection. At its core, 3D All-Stars is an overpriced, unimproved mess that includes issues fans fixed years ago that was barely changed to fit with the Switch better. If it weren't for those issues, this would likely by the best Mario game ever, but it's painfully obvious that this was meant to be a quick cash grab by Nintendo.

    Mario Galaxy. I much preferred the second game. Nintendo mentioned they updated the graphics a little. I fail to see it. It's enjoyable, brings back a wave of nostalgia, but when I own a Wii and Super Mario Galaxy, I fail to see the point to buy it on Switch full price, which I reckon is why it's 'limited time'.

    Mario 64. The camera aged horribly and was not changed at all. I've been wanting to complete Mario 64 for a while now on 3D All Stars, but I just find the camera irritating. I own Mario 64 DS and I've completed that 2 times in a row, and each time I enjoy it as much as the last. Maybe I'm biased with the camera as I was a Sonic kid growing up which didn't have camera issues for me, but I'd find the game much more enjoyable if they edited the camera a slight bit.

    I have not yet gotten round to playing Mario Sunshine. It looks like a fun game but I basically only played £50 for Mario Sunshine, which I could just get a GameCube and Mario Sunshine for probably only just a little more.

    It's great for a first time player, but compared to other remastered games (Star Fox 64 3D (which was on the DS, may I note), Twilight Princess HD), it lacks in adding updated features to build it up to modern expectations.    … Expand

And having played SM: Galaxy on Wii and Switch, I can very well say that the infrared control by Wiimote is much more superior and accurate, while Switch's Joy-cons need constant calibration by "R" (for me, every 5 seconds).

I got mine for around $55 and this enables you to play even more Wii titles, without waiting for their remakes.

    In a future update, it would be good if they added button mapping options within the individual games. I would like to switch the functions of the R and ZR buttons in Sunshine; it would feel a lot more intuitive to me if it was the other way around (so ZR would be shooting water while standing still).
    (I'm aware that there is an option to change button mappings in the Switch settings, but it doesn't work with all controllers and it is a bit of a faff to turn it on and off.)

    An option for a updated, modernised camera controls in 64 would also be a good addition.    … Expand

    It's marketed as one of the celebratory products of the Mario brand. This being the case, it fails to show any ounce of passion & care, of which the originals held. The only thing Nintendo has newly offered is a novelty soundtrack which can only be used while the game is inserted; literally having no use or practicality for the average consumer.

    The quality of this game is horrendous. It makes the Nintendo deal look like garbage with how the original of SM64 and SMS feel awkward. On top of that, SM64 bears the worst in how it's presented. With all this porting and emulation nonsense going on it feels crappy even purchasing it for being so unpolished.

    This while thing is daylight robbery and Nintendo made minor enhancements such as remade textures; purely to keep the visuals with the times... Additionally, if individual developers can do better than Nintendo them it's safe to say that they didn't care so that much in the first place. There's more than one reason why Nintendo had so many pirates. That's because though they may succeed the competition in some, they fail their consumers in the rest.

    Blindly praising the company without acknowledging the stunts they pull is ludicrous. Moreso, the purchase time-frame is a disgusting move on Nintendo's.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. For someone who never had the chance to play the three games in the package, this is a great purchase to catch up on what you've missed out. Taking the typical $60 price tag and dividing it by three means that Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario Galaxy are $20 a pop, and that's a deal I can get behind. However, I understand that the bare bones of this package with nothing but a bunch of emulated remasters and soundtracks that could easily be found on Spotify do not really satisfy on the same level as a 35th anniversary. I want to blame COVID-19 on this because I imagine Nintendo wanted to do more, but the circumstances didn't allow them to really push it to the next level. In the end, the games are the stars of this All-Stars collection, and it's worth it if you view each full game as a $20 purchase and ignore everything else.

    Now on to each game individually:

    Super Mario 64
    This gets nothing but raves and adoration from the internet, but when I first started the game, I struggled with finding Bomb-Omb Battlefield. Then I was perplexed by the fact that everytime you grab a star, you are sent back to the hub world. This just shows you how little I knew about 3D Mario games, how much we take the modern gaming industry for granted, and how much of a spoiled child I was for playing Super Mario Odyssey and never being kicked out of a world for collecting one star. Because of this learning curve, the completion of this game didn't feel satisfying. Also, the camera work sucks.

    Super Mario Sunshine
    Like Super Mario 64, I was actually looking forward to playing this title, then I realized the worlds got slightly bigger, and FLUDD was a giant learning curve for a noob like me. I spent the first half trying to figure out the difference between ZR and R just to get the right movement going while spraying and mentally remembering that X is actually a big deal (unlike most titles). I don't mind the voice-acting, but the story is insane. How did we get from happy times like Isle Delfino, sunshine, and vacations, and go straight to jails, court trials, and community service? That's the last thing i think about in a Mario game. Also, when Princess Peach is finally kidnapped for real at Pinna Park, I kept screaming at her to run during the cut-scene. This character is useless, and cannot fend for herself on the smallest great ideas. Unlike Super Mario 64, once I got the hang of the controls, I found myself loving the grind of finding Shines and the Blue Coins, even though Super Mario Odyssey spoiled me again in identifying each collectible with a name and number, and where their locations were.

    Super Mario Galaxy
    This was the one I was least looking forward to because I couldn't get over how the very integrated Wii controls would work in handheld mode. I have a Switch Lite, and all I could think of was, "How am I going to collect all of those star bits that just fling on the screen willy-nilly?" And yes, the handheld mode is a little cumbersome, but that didn't stop me from collecting thousands of star bits when I got the chance. Out of the three, this is my favorite. The controls are perfected for movement. Collecting everything and anything is a blast. The challenge comets are difficult, but not impossible. And for an added bonus, each game file allows completing the game twice (once as Mario and once as Luigi). Completing is rewarding and doesn't feel like a task, and I look forward to the end of the work day where I can kick back and go get more power stars.

    TL;DR: 3D All-Stars is slim when it comes to bringing three classics for a 35th anniversary, but the games are fun to explore, and are worth the price of admission, but if you are waiting to see if they will come out individually when April 2021 rolls around, then I understand.    … Expand

    A good port of some good games. Although I don't think Sunshine or 64 aged well, its a great introduction to the older Mario 3D platformers for younger ages and a great callback for those who played them all those years ago.

    Recommendation: If you like 3D platformers, more specifically older 3D platormers, I would recommend this to you.

    Galaxy is Galaxy. You cant mess it up. Touchscreen controls for the cursor can be a little finicky but it's fine.

    So far it's great, right?

    The extras (or lack thereof) is disappointing. There are some soundtracks which are cool I guess, but that's literally it. The menu is basically a PowerPoint presentation with some video and a paragraph about the game. It has the game's release date and that's all.

    In Canada, it's $80 on the eShop. $80 for 3 old games. $50 might be justifiable, but $80 is just sad.

    Overall, it's ok, but definitely not worth the price.    … Expand

    Super Mario 3d all stars is a very strange case. The 3 games included are all previous releases, and while they're all great games, there are little changes made to them.

The three games included are some of the best games ever made though, but if you already own them you may feel like the small changes aren't worth it. However, if these three games aren't already in your library then I'd totally recommend this collection!… Expand

    Nintendo really did us dirty. This is hands down the biggest cash grab that they have ever produced. They reached into the wallets of all Nintendo fans and took their 60 dollars for what basically amounts to a couple old games slapped onto the Switch with little to no improvement. Here are the biggest issues:

    Super Mario 64: This game received a UI texture overhaul which looks nice, as well as a couple textures such as Mario's hat and overalls. This is great and makes the game feel a little updated, but somehow the game still runs at 30 fps in a 4:3 square aspect ratio. They have given no reason why this is the case, and it is honestly really sad that a multibillion dollar company can't put as much work into making a game run at 1080p widescreen with 60 fps at least. The excellent community behind the Mario 64 Decompile project did such great work reverse engineering the game, that now you can play the game in all it's beauty in a way that is much better than Nintendo's efforts for the Switch version. (*cough* googlesm64pcBuilder2 *cough*)

    Super Mario Sunshine: This is by far the game I have the most nostalgia for in the collection. I will admit that it was fun replaying this classic on Switch, but we have similar problems here to Mario 64. While it is nice to have some of the texture improvements and widescreen, zero effort was put in to making the game run in 60 fps. The game is plagued with frame drops and bugs. The Dolphin Emulator has been able to run this game in 1080p 60fps with an HD texture pack for years now. The controls are no longer inverted in the collection, which is really disorienting for fans of the original, and the updated controls are just not as good. You can't even use the GameCube controller adapter for Smash Brothers Ultimate in order to enjoy those classic controls. The fact too that this game has things like debug cubes visible in levels and other such things is such a spit in the face of fans of the original game, and only adds to the evidence that this was a quick cash grab.

    Super Mario Galaxy: Ignoring the fact that they ignored the excellent sequel to this game entirely and are pretending that it didn't exist, this is the only game out of the collection to run at 1080p 60 fps. From what I've seen most people agree that this game is the highlight of the collection. While there are still some bugs present, this version is at least close to matching the experience of the original. I will need to play this version more to comment on the quality. Seriously though, how can they just sweep Mario Galaxy 2 under the rug like this.

    Conclusion: This is a horrible cash grab of a collection of 3 classic masterpieces. When Activision of all companies, (who are usually considered way more greedy than Nintendo) can release the excellent Vicarious Visions remasters of Crash Bandicoot and Tony Hawk at very reasonable prices and with a boat load of extra content to boot, but yet Nintendo can't, this is simply a direction that the company is going in that I cannot stand behind.

    Not to mention, you die hard Nintendo Fans better pick this game up quick while you still can, because in March you won't find it on the eshop or on store shelves. This is such a scummy release all around.    … Expand

I really dislike Super Mario 64, though. I will not go into the reasons why, however. What is more important is that this would be a good game, if it was not extremely lazy and overpriced. The resolution upscale is barebones and lacks substance, despite it being the only gimmick of this collection aside from its default Switch features and the soundtracks. The soundtracks do not add anything good to the collection, since all it does is play music from the three games in the background of the game's menu, and there is almost nothing to do in the game's menu, so its existence is only further devalued by Nintendo's laziness.
    They are emulated games with no significant changes. All there is to it is the previously mentioned upscaled resolution, probably a better framerate, music tracks, and the default Switch features. The controls are also not that good in Sunshine and Galaxy, but I will not go into why. I will say that SM64 for the first time can be played with a good controller, though, without being on an emulator, which is good. The games controls and camera are still miserably terrible, unfortunately.
    This would all be fine, if there was a proper price to go along with it. But it is sixty USD, and that is way above what it deserves to be. It is obvious Nintendo put almost no real effort into developing this game, yet they are still fine with charging it on full price for the sake of satisfying their hunger for money. Nintendo is far from the most greedy and lazy company out there, but from time to time they still stab their fans in the backs like this. I would also like to mention that for some reason I bought this game with a 10% lower price than I pay with all other full priced games. I live in Denmark, so I paid four-hundred-and-fifty danske kroner, even though it is supposed to be just as highly priced as all other major Nintendo Switch games. It is quite strange.
    I believe that fifteen or twenty USD would have been a fair price. Fifteen should have been the minimum, every game and soundtrack in the collection would make up five USD, which is a really good price considering their essentially just emulations that cost almost no money to produce. I would have been fine with it costing an extra five USD. Anything about twenty USD is ridiculous for this game, and that is why I regret buying this game.    … Expand

    To celebrate Mario’s 35th Anniversary Nintendo has released a brand new All Stars Compilation, and unlike their 25th Anniversary it isn’t just slapping the SNES game onto a disc. The brand new 3D All Stars contains three of the biggest 3S Mario titles in Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine and the original Super Mario Galaxy. As some who grew up the original two games and thoroughlyTo celebrate Mario’s 35th Anniversary Nintendo has released a brand new All Stars Compilation, and unlike their 25th Anniversary it isn’t just slapping the SNES game onto a disc. The brand new 3D All Stars contains three of the biggest 3S Mario titles in Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine and the original Super Mario Galaxy. As some who grew up the original two games and thoroughly enjoyed Galaxy, I would be kidding myself if I wasn’t going to get this.

    One of the first things you should know about this compilation is that these games are straight up ROMs. There has been nothing added outside of HD enhancements, no Luigi in 64, no Noki Bay book in Sunshine and you don’t get to meet those shadow creatures in Galaxy. What you see is what you get and what you are getting is three of the best games ever made for the price of one.

    Starting off with Super Mario 64, while the game doesn’t appear in widescreen it is still one of the best looking N64 games I have played on a modern console. It’s clear it has gone through a lot of polish with 2d elements like the on-screen icons and text being swapped out for higher quality ones and even some of the 3D models updated aswell. Anyone who played the N64 back in the day will remember just how crazy the controller was with its design, but strangely enough, it really is the one true way to play this game. Playing it with a Gamecube controller on the Wii or a 360 Controller on an Emulator just doesn’t have the same feel and even here with the Pro Controller, this is going to sound crazy but it just feels too….good? It’s weird playing Mario 64 with such a precise controller that had me misjudge my jumps and end up flying off the map. While Mario 64 was absolutely revolutionary back in 1996, its no denying that wow factor has certainly faded away, that being said the game is still very much playable almost 25 years later, which is more than I can say for most of the N64 library.

    Next up we have Sunshine and this is probably the one that benefits the most from this upgrade with its new widescreen aspect ratio and while I’m sure we will have some smartasses point out that they have had this version for years thanks to Dolphin, no amount of patches and hacks to the Gamecube version will be able to compare to what is here. (Also, I hate you). The game, for the most part, plays exactly the same as the original with one glaring difference, as you are probably all aware the Switch controllers have digital triggers, compared to the GameCube that had big squishy ones where you could press to move and spray or click down to stand in place and spray in all directions. Because the Switch triggers are either pressed or not with no inbetween, the two spray methods are split between the two right trigger buttons. It does get a bit of getting used too, especially if you played the original back in the day and just out of curiosity I plugged in my GameCube controller via the Wii U adapter but alas, while it does technically work, hold and spray is mapped to the Z Button, and admit it you almost forgot the GameCube had a Z Button.

    Galaxy however is the real mixed bag of the collection, graphically it runs at the highest with 1080p and 60fps but, and this may sound crazy, I truly believe Sunshine looks better than Galaxy. It may be because Sunshine has an actual world that is brimming with detail and life while Galaxy is mainly just planets floating in space, but I always found the detail lacking in some aspects. But the bigger issue is one I fear that is going to affect many Wii Games that relied on the Pointer and Motion Controls if they ever get ported, you are able to use the Joycons like you would the Wiimote and Nunchuck, The built-in gyros are a definite improvement to the Sensor bar even being able to centre the pointer with the push of a button. But playing with the Pro Controller, you are able to perform your spin attack by either pushing Y or flicking the controller and let it just be known that flicking a Pro Controller can get quite awkward, if that wasn’t bad enough they even use the tilt mechanisms to guide the pointer. In the case of Galaxy, I honestly had more fun playing it how it was meant to be played with the Joycons.

    It may sound like I’m harping on the controls a lot but that’s really because there isn’t much more to say about these games that hasn’t already been said a million times over. Mario 64, Sunshine & Galaxy are without a doubt some of the greatest games ever released and this compilation has brought back many childhood memories, including my own. Ignoring the issues with Galaxy 2 and the limited time availability, this collection is still the best way to play these games.    … Expand

Temporary digital window is seriously scummy, but I can understand the value of the physical copy might not exist if they didn't but these games exist as ports on other systems anyway so it doesn't make sense.
    Sunshine is frustrating as hell, even though its good and I was able to see it through, making a lot of sprites mandatory made it way less appealing though. Sunshine even has a bug that existed in 64 where mario gets stuck on an edge. Galaxy also has a bug where he runs in a circle until you stop moving. Its not about preserving them how they are, these are flaws that should be fixed. Make them run natively and 60fps full screen pls Nintendo and include galaxy 2 as a free download, I won't pay extra for it.

    Games in the collection are masterful but it’s hard to not feel disappointment by galaxy 2 being left out with no accessibility options or much improvement l, especially with 64.

    A greedy price for bare bones emulation. Worst of all they have broken the camera and controls in Mario Sunshine making it borderline unplayable, and Gamecube controllers are not supported.

    This collection is undoubtedly one of the most disappointing things Nintendo has ever done. They did the bare minimum. Super Mario 64 and Sunshine still run in 30fps, not to mention that 64 runs in 4:3. They didn't even add Super Mario Galaxy 2, which literally runs in the same engine as Super Mario Galaxy.

    3 Bad and lazy emulated ports for the absurd price of $60, with a limited release to scare people so they'll buy it faster. And the emulation isn't even good, it's laggy and full of graphical glitches.

    First of all Nintendo of Europe ran out of physical copies and sent me a download version instead and refused to swap it later when they came back in stock or refund. (even though I cancelled the preorder 7 days before release).

    The actual game.

    Positives - Its Mario 64, Odyssey and Galaxy.

    Negatives - 30fps for 64 and Odyssey.

There's also reports of several bugs in these games too. There's also the fact that this is a limited run and the textures weren't updated at all. The upscaling was a very lazy job for a AAA price. Activision remade their games for $20 less - and that is Activision. I feel like there's no defending the high price and limited run for this game considering how lazy and unimpressive it is. I later got the game for £30 which I find to be a much more suitable price. However due to the limited run this was pure luck for me and it's going to have it's value artificially inflated in April. I'd advise against buying this unless you can find it cheaper, very dissappointing...    … Expand

    I really liked the game, mainly because of having Super Mario Sunshine, a game I didn't have the opportunity to have when I was a kid. My only criticism is of Super Mario 64, as I think it should be widescreen, and the menu could be a little cooler. But in fact the game is very good!

    I can't speak for those who got this having already owned the originals but I bought this to play Galaxy and Sunshine since I slept on Nintendo games back during the gamecube and wii eras. Coming from that perspective I have very little issues with the collection and wouldn't even realize there were problems with it if I didn't see all the negative reviews online talking about them.

Coming from that perspective I have very little issues with the collection and wouldn't even realize there were problems with it if I didn't see all the negative reviews online talking about them. To me this is just an HD collection, and I knew that going in so I wasn't expecting all kinds of big sweeping improvements.

    I started with Galaxy, got all 120 stars over about a week. Pretty easy game, and I feel the motion controls were pretty gimmicky and not necessary, but overall I still enjoyed it for the creativity and fun gameplay.

    Sunshine I'm still playing currently, about 3/4 of the shines collected. This one is definitely one of the jankiest Mario games I've played especially where minigames are concerned. At first I didn't like it very much but once I started playing the second level (Ricco Harbor) was when it started clicking for me, and since then I've really been liking it. I might be in the minority but I think I like this game more than Galaxy. I like the water mechanics with fludd and the location is probably my favorite I've been to thus far in the mario universe. It helps that I'm a sucker for sunny colorful water levels in videogames so the atmosphere really does it for me as well, and it's cool how the island feels like it's an actual place you're exploring where you can see other levels in the distance from the one you're currently in. It took me some time to get settled in but I can see why there are people who hold this one in such high regard despite it's rough edges.    … Expand

    I was very excited for this collection since I only played Mario Sunshine for about 1 week as a kid (Never bought it, we rented it) and I never played Mario Galaxy. And its been years since I had played Mario 64, so I was very much looking forward to this collection. I completed Mario 64, and I was just as fun as I remembered.

Then I started Mario Sunshine and boy is that game terrible...

    Going to be honest here. I absolutely HATE Mario Sunshine. For lack of a better word, its **** To be fair, I did put in a good amount of time, getting 50 Sun sprites / stars in it. But any time I start playing Sunshine, it just feels like a damn chore. The controls are horrendous. They are super clunky and frustratingly difficult to maneuver at times. Then comes the Camera Angle issue which I've heard bad things about before. The camera has a mind of its own. It randomly spazzes out on me, causing me to miss important jumps and die, having to start over.

    The gameplay is really bad and poorly designed. I'm stuck at 50 Sun Stars / Sprities because there is a certain Secret Level that is insanely difficult to complete. This game doesn't have that Sand Box feel like Mario 64 and other amazing Mario games. Instead, you're FORCED to complete stupidly difficult tasks to progress instead of just being allowed to complete the challenges that YOU want and progress the game that way. Being forced to do certain things is NOT fun. Overall, Mario Sunshine is complete garbage. And now that I've played every single 3D Mario Game out there, I can honestly say Sunshine is the WORST. Makes perfect sense why Nintendo never re-released it until now.

    As for Mario Galaxy, I must say, this game is an MASTER PIECE. 1 hour in, and I love it. Seeing how others say MG2 is better, I am a little disappointed that MG2 was not included in this collection. I would gladly trade Mario Suncrap for Mario Galaxy 2 to be apart of this collection. That being said, I've given this game a 6.5 out of 10, because Sunshine - (1/3 of the game) is terrible and there's no Mario Galaxy 2. Other than that, Mario 64 and Galaxy are amazing, and its awesome to play them with updated graphics and on my Switch that can go anywhere I want with it.

    As for the $60 price tag. I paid $50 for it (Plus California sales tax). Amazon randomly refunded me $10 for this game. Not sure why, but I'm happy with it. 2 amazing games for $50 is well worth the price.    … Expand

With recent releases such as the Crash and Spyro remakes, we've seen these classic 3D platformers rereleased in a modern form. But this collection feels quite a last-minute release. Not saying there was no effort put into this, that's far from true. The higher resolutions, the tweaked controls, the smoother framerate. But the fact that this is just emulated version, with no other tweaks other than the higher res, is very disappointing. But then, we have some strange changes that raised my eyebrow somewhat. The use of the relatively disliked SHINDOU version of Super Mario 64, and the loud beep in Sunshine, and the lack of button controls in Galaxy's minigames. All of this would've been fine if it wasn't a full 60$. When the Spyro and Crash collections, which are from the ground up recreations, are only 40$, you know you **** up. And then, ooooh boy, then we have the limited release. Nintendo, please answer me, why the hell are you doing this? This is clearly very anti-consumerist. I thought we were gone from the days of the Wii selling out and the Great Amiibo War. These practices make you hated more and more by the community. I know people will still enjoy your games, but you must make an effort to still hold the respect many fans still hold over you. I don't like using numbers for reviews, because it makes readers only focus on the big circle with the number on it like they're moths attracted to a lamp, but Metacritic won't let me not have a number, so I'll just stick with 6/10. I still believe it's worth it, as the games inside are very fun, but the collection is surrounded by a shadow of bad practices.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There is no doubt that those games are historical but i feel like they haven't aged very well or at least as well I expected. Nonetheless they are great games and nothing changes that. Let's talk about the individually. Super Mario 64:The nostalgia hit like a truck when I played again this game after so many years(it was the first video game I remember playing) and it's the beginning of everything. For its time, it actually has good moveset and levels but the controls and the camera have aged terribly though. Overall it's great game but definetely not for one to play on 2020 except for nostalgia or if you are a newer fan and want to try the begging of Mario 3D platformers.

    Super Mario Sunshine :This game has incredibly good colors and the overall theme is amazing. In HD it looks way better that it used too.The game though is very challenging comparing to the other 2 and generally to any other Mario 3D platformer. The controls are hard and levels even harder for those controls. Nintendo also removed the long jump in the game for some reason which is one of the most important moves of Mario in all other games. Instead they added Fludd. Overall it's good but very challenging I believe.

    Super Mario Galaxy:This game is the best I believe. It has the best levels, theme and Mario's moveset is controlled way better than the other 2(most of the times). The only con I find ,except that sometimes Mario doesn't go to the direction you want,is that (SPOILER) you have to play the game again as Luigi to 100% it. It's about 25 hours..Overall it's amazing and the best of the 3 I believe. The trilogy here is great even though Nintendo could make some improvements instead of HD ports which are made on emulators...They could fix some controls, bugs and glitches and at the same time keep the nostalgia textures and graphics. I strongly recommend this game nonetheless.    … Expand

    Se hecha de menos el galaxy 2 y alguna que otra mejora, sobretodo en m64(16:9) pero han adaptado bastantes elementos, las fuentes de los 3 juegos han sido rehechas, todas las texturas de la interfaz son nuevas para que se vean bien en HD. En odyssey han hecho un buen trabajo adaptando el gatillo analogico al doble boton trasero y los controles por movimiento del galaxy están totalmente rehechos para adaptarlos a 2 sistemas (táctil y giroscopio) que no tienen nada que ver con el original.

    Es una gran oportunidad para catar por primera vez el sunshine, que es el menos vendido de los 3, o volver a jugarlo y disfrutarlo de nuevo. Es un juego con muchas capas de profundidad, es muy asequible para jugadores poco avezado peor que a la vez te permite muchas virguerias combinando saltos y el aquac, no llega al nivel del odyssey en ese sentido, pero el juego es superior al mario 64 y extremadamente superior al galaxy, cuyo único merito es el concepto (que no esta nada mal) pero que a nivel de gameplay y moveset es un hueco entre el sunshine y el 3d land, aunque el 2 esta muchisimo mas pulido en ese aspecto.

    Obviamente el sunshine tiene sus carencias, se nota que lo apresuraron para que fuera un juego de (casi) salida con la consola, tiene las mismas estrellas que el 64, pero solo tiene 7 pantallas, eso significa que hay 14 estrellas por pantalla, al final te pasas bastante tiempo por pantalla y un poco mas de variedad no hubiera venido mal, quitando las azules y distribuyendo un poco las estrellas se podría haber llegado a 10 pantallas y ya seria perfecto, pero seguramente no se pudo por tema costes/tiempo.

    Finalmente comentar que el gran mérito de esta colección es que ninguno de los 3 juegos se siente antiguo, de hecho el mas ortopedico de los 3 es el galaxy, por tener que usar controles por movimientos y que en el original apenas tenias control sobre la camara (derecha, izquierda y fp), aun así la cámara automática es bastante buena. En cuanto a sunshine, 19 años han pasado y en hd pasa, por calidad estética y control de la cámara, perfectamente como un juego de la actual generación, se ve realmente muy bien. Y simplemente que comentar del 64, 25 años que tiene esa mierda y lo juegas y dices, pues tiene algunos problemas con la cámara que se vuelve muy loca en puntos muy concretos, pero claro, estamos hablando de lo que es posiblemente el primer juego 3d con una cámara no estática o extremadamente limitada (siguiéndote en el mismo punto por detrás siempre o algo asi), no solo sigue siendo potable a dia de hoy, es de hecho mejor que muchos juegos que tienen control total, sentó catedra sobre como hacer camaras en juegos 3d y lo hicieron en el primer intento, esto para mi es lo mas increíble de mario 64 y lo que hace que sea un juego inmortal.    … Expand
