Nintendo today revealed in a special Direct that it’s celebrating the 35th anniversary of the first Super Mario game. It’s doing so by packaging several of its old classics in a special anthology called Super Mario 3D All-Stars. It’s also releasing one of the Wii U’s Mario titles, and we’ll also get an (official) Mario battle royale. All in all, a great haul for Nintendo fans. Super Mario 3D All-Stars is a compilation of three extremely popular Mario titles from the fifth, sixth, and seventh console generations: namely, Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario Galaxy. The name recalls Super Mario All-Stars, a SNES-era compilation of the first three Super Mario Bros games and The Lost Levels. Given that compilation contained four games, I’m surprised 3D All-Stars couldn’t slip Super Mario Galaxy 2 in there, too. But I guess I shouldn’t be greedy. By the way, Super Mario All-Stars is now also now on Switch as well, as of today.
