"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."
Read original review"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."
Read original review"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."

"Despite collecting three of Mario&s;s most well-known games, Super Mario 3D All Stars doesn&s;t justify their porting onto the Switch. With minimal improvements, few features that truly make it feel like an "Anniversary celebration" and some bafflingly lazy design choices, …"

"Super Mario 3D All-Stars is a good collection, but more because of the games it contains than because of Nintendo&s;s effort in making it. The absence of extras and of Super Mario Galaxy 2 are an unpleasant disappointment."
