"Whether the year it was released has affected the way Super Mario 3D All-Stars came together, we&s;ll probably never know, but it still comes with a wholehearted recommendation simply due to the quality of the games."

"Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario Galaxy are three near-perfect platforming adventures. In my opinion, they are must-play games that everyone should experience at some point, and what better time then now on the Nintendo Switch."

"Three fantastic games -one that feels a little old, one that still in good shape and another that is the same masterpiece- together in a somewhat lackluster compilation."

"Although nothing here is likely to change your opinion on any of the titles, most people who have played these games don&s;t need any convincing. Each game holds up very well and shines behind its own compelling strengths."
