    This combo is amazing, some of my favorite Mario games ever, but the lack of creativity is terrible. Nintendo basically did nothing new. Cameras are the same, no new hidden stuff, they even removed some of the awesome glitches in Mario 64 that Nintendo knew we all liked. Also, why is this game limited edition? There was no reason to do this. They just want people to rampage over on EBay. IThis combo is amazing, some of my favorite Mario games ever, but the lack of creativity is terrible.

    I feel like people are dogging a little hard because of the lack of extra content. They said we would get three legendary titles and we got three legendary titles. You can't fix what's not broken so I don't see the problem. (No excuse for Mario 64's lack of widescreen, c'mon Nintendo.)

    I have to say, I was quite disappointed with Super Mario 3D All-Stars. While it was great to have three classic Mario games in one package, the overall experience just didn't live up to my expectations. The graphics were improved, but not by much, and the controls felt clunky and unresponsive at times. It also felt like there wasn't enough new content to justify the price.

    Many people say this game is bad, but it's a trio of three of the greatest platformers of all time, now on a portable console? It's much better than people say.

    great games but why?

    - Why was it limited to about a year? - Why is there no widescreen for Mario 64? - Why is Mario 64 basically untouched? - Why is Sunshine almost a full remaster while the others are just ports? - Why is Galaxy 2 missing? - Why is there basically no bonus content and just 3 games on a card? - Why didnt they give us save states? Play this if you havent    great games but why?

    Secondly, it's a fine port for The Switch. Of course, NIntendo could remastered Super Mario 64 and put it in widescreen. But the graphics of Sunshine are great and the Galaxy game are superb. For me it's not an 10/10 because of the idea of    This game deserves a lot more credit.

    NIntendo just wants money. Galaxy 2 was the last good 3D Mario game, afterwards, they all sucked and just wanted money. Speaking of, they chose to exclude Galaxy 2 to get more money for their value.

    It's a collection of the first three 3-D Super Mario's all in one. It's useful to access all three of the games on the go or at home.

It is sad that there are no remasters but it's a great collection for people who don't have easy access to these amazing games. It even includes the soundtracks to the games on the title menu! All this said, it's really for people who lost their old stuff or never had the stuff to begin with or maybe who're just too lazy to switch between consoles. It is disappointing that there are no significant changes though but as a collection, it's great! ....Just remember you can't Backwards Long Jump… Expand

    Awful collection. I rate 5 ONLY because I never played any of these in the past, it would be like 1 otherwise.

    This collection contains nothing new. Nintendo just took three random games it thinks they are "breakthroughs" in the franchise history, put them into one game and that's pretty much it. I understand they didn't modify these games in order to preserve their "magic" and age, but    Awful collection.

They SHOULD HAVE improved the horrendous controls of Super Mario 64. The controls are so garbage it's unplayable. Swimming underwater is a literal nightmare. Bad camera makes the games two times as hard than they are.

    + elke missie is uniek met unieke levels. en wanneer ze worden hergebruikt veranderen ze veel om het uniek te houden

    + de motion controls werken perfect

    + de spin jump is nu een knopdruk

    +/- de power-ups zijn gevarieerd. maar sommige hebben een tijdlimiet die niet nodig is

    + dit is een mainline Mario game met een diepe (emotionele) story

    +/- de cometen geven extra uitdaging. er zijn er wel teveel met een tijdlimiet

    ¡Tres clásicos reunidos en una colección de ensueño!

    Super Mario 3D All Stars es una colección de los primeros tres grandes juegos de Mario en 3D remasterizados y con pequeñas mejoras en calidad de vida (menús, interfaz etc...) que a su vez incluye las bandas sonoras de los tres títulos a las que se puede acceder desde el menú de inicio.

    Super Mario 3D All Stars es una colección de los primeros tres grandes juegos de Mario en 3D remasterizados y con pequeñas mejoras en calidad de vida (menús, interfaz etc...) que a su vez incluye las bandas sonoras de los tres títulos a las que se puede acceder desde el menú de inicio. En cuanto a los títulos:

    El Super Mario 64 es el que sale peor parado, se le notan los años tanto a nivel gráfico como jugable, está remasterizado al HD pero sigue en formato 4:3 en lugar de los 16:9 que debería tener pero bueno, solo sucede en este juego, por lo demás es tan divertido como lo fue en su año de lanzamiento en Europa, 1996.

    El Super Mario Sunshine ha recibido mejor trato pasando el juego al formato de 16:9 y en completo HD, su estilo artístico cell shading se ve de auténtico lujo en la consola. También se han adaptado los gatillos de Switch para hacer un mejor uso del Acuac (el artefacto principal del juego)

    Y por último Super Mario Galaxy, he de decir que es el que más me ha sorprendido lo increíblemente bien que se ha adaptado este juego a Switch y es que a parte de verse y moverse muy bien también hace uso de las funciones especiales de la consola como son la pantalla táctil para agarrar los trozos de estrella o el sensor de movimiento para los niveles de carreras encima de la pelota de cristal o a lomos de la manta raya

    Nota y conclusión:

    Estamos ante una colección maravillosa que cumple con lo que promete trayéndonos a la plataforma híbrida las mejores versiones de la historia de estos tres juegos clásicos. La única pega sería la pobre adaptación del Mario 64 y la no inclusión de su remake de Nintendo DS, por lo demás a poco que te gusten los juegos de Mario plataformeros o la historia de Nintendo se convertirá en un imprescindible en tu colección de Switch.

If you take something like Crash, he had 3 of his games, but they were remastered. Now I understand that Nintendo can't remaster the games, and that's ok, but Crash was only $40, but $60. 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.

Mario 64, as usual, knocks the music out of the park, the low poly graphics are very charming and some of the enemies introduced here are great too! I do wish there was a way to view all of the artwork outside of the loading screens though, and the soundtrack/ jukebox section is a nice addition.

I know that there are millions of people who will argue that they are objectively 10/10 masterpieces, but that's just because most of them played them when they came out and hold on to the nostalgic feelings. I don't want to say that that is bad, I'm glad that you can enjoy them. They are just nothing for people who didn't play them as kids, while titles like "Super Mario 3" are still good and playable for youngsters.
    Mario 64 has terrible controls. They feel really slippery and weird, and it's hard to say where Mario will be next and what comes next. I don't know why people keep saying that the controls are precise, because they are not. And then you get to the water level, and it gets even worse. Even the wing cap is hard to control, for some reason it steers down regularly. You don't exactly feel "free" when you are constantly wrestling with the controls and the camera. The graphics are hideous too. And you constantly get knocked out of levels, sometimes for beating a challenge, and sometimes for dying.
    Even without all those obnoxious stuff that could easily be fixed, Mario 64 is simply not as revolutionary as it used to be. If you remade the game with Odyssey graphics and quality of life upgrades, you would still just have a mediocre game. All of 64 has been redone better in future games, especially Mario Odyssey. That game just dunked Mario 64 in the trash can of history.
    Mario Sunshine has better graphics. I don't care that they are old, they are still nice to look at. However, controlling the flood device is no fun at all. And the levels get too hard too fast.
    Mario Galaxy is the only game out of the collection that I enjoyed. Its levels have inconsistent quality, but most of them are good. The boss level was a real challenge, and it felt nice to beat it. But even as a standalone game, I would not say it's a must-buy. It was nice to pass the time, but not as good as Odyssey.    … Expand

    The classic games have been ported over to the Nintendo Switch with upscaled graphics. The old controls feel clunky compared to modern gaming standards, but if you already love these games, this makes for a great purchase.
