ORIGINAL STORY CONTINUES:

As exclusively revealed by VGC in March, the compilation will contain Switch versions of 3D Mario games Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine and Super Mario Galaxy to coincide with the Mario 35^th anniversary.

The Switch versions will feature higher resolutions and have been optimised “for a smooth gameplay experience on Nintendo Switch,” Nintendo said on Thursday. Super Mario 3D All-Stars also includes an in-game music player mode to play the music and songs from all three games.

Super Mario 64 will feature Joy-Con controls (with rumble) and improved picture resolution (720p docked and portable). Sunshine will feature higher-resolution 16:9 visuals (1080p docked, 720p portable), and Galaxy will feature Joy-Con controls which mimic the original Wii Remote (1080p docked, 720p portable).

Priced at $59.99 / £49.99, 3D All-Stars will be available as a limited digital and physical release from September 18, 2020 until March 31, 2021, Nintendo said.

You can pre-order Mario 3D All-Stars from Amazon, Best Buy and Game, among other retailers.

Nintendo is also planning to release a Deluxe version of 2013’s Super Mario 3D World for Switch, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury.

Set for release on February 21, 2021, the updated game features both online and offline co-op, and additional content which will be revealed at a later date. New Amiibo figures Cat Mario and Cat Peach will also be released at the same time as the game.

Another new title announced on Thursday was digital online battle game Super Mario Bros. 35., in which 35 players compete to be the last Mario standing.

Enemies defeated will be sent to other players’ courses, Nintendo said, and players can activate special items to try and outpace their opponents. Super Mario Bros. 35 launches on Oct. 1 as a digital-only game exclusive to Nintendo Switch Online members. The game will be playable until March 31, 2021.

A third new title announced on Thursday was Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit, a Switch game that allows players to race a real physical kart.

The physical Kart responds to boosts in-game and in the real world and stops when hit with an item. Players place gates to create a custom course layout in their home, and race against Koopalings in Grand Prix to unlock a variety of course customisations and costumes for Mario or Luigi. The game can also be played with up to four players.

Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit, which is available in a Mario Set or Luigi Set, launches on October 16 for $99.99.

The second physical title announced for Mario’s 35th is Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros., a new collectable device featuring classic Mario games.

Set for release on November 13 for $49.99, Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros. features a modern +Control Pad and classic games Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels and a special version of Ball with a Mario makeover.

Finally, Nintendo confirmed that upgraded versions of Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, Super Mario Bros. 2 and Super Mario Bros. 3 are available via Super Mario All-Stars on Nintendo Switch Online today.

Nintendo has already launched two flagship licensing deals planned to commemorate Mario’s 35th anniversary: a special interactive Lego Mario set and a range of Uniqlo clothing, the latter of which is specifically branded for Mario Bros.’ upcoming birthday. Special Super Mario versions of Monopoly and Jenga released in July too.
