Release Date: October 2, 2025
A compilation featuring remastered versions of two very popular 3D platform games made by Nintendo - Super Mario Galaxy from 2007 and Super Mario Galaxy 2 from 2010. In both games Mario and his friends are travelling the galaxy, visiting various planets, using creative skills and trying to save Princess Peach.
In 2007, a 3D platformer titled Super Mario Galaxy debuted on the Nintendo Wii console. Less than three years later, its sequel, Super Mario Galaxy 2, followed in its footsteps. After fifteen years, Nintendo decided to remind players of these productions and release a compilation of their remastered versions, titled Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2.
Compared to the originals, games included in the Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 package stand out primarily due to their higher graphics resolution and improved user interface. Moreover, the developers enriched them with additional chapters of the Storybook. There are also an assist mode (where the difficulty level is lower due to extra health and regeneration after taking a fall) and a soundtrack mode, where we can listen to the game's music. The icing on the cake is the support for amiibo figures.
In Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2, the action is viewed from a third-person perspective (TPP).
As the title suggests, the compilation takes us to the galaxy. In the first game, Mario's task is to save Princess Peach and recover the Power Stars stolen by Bowser. In the sequel, the protagonist once again sets off to rescue the princess, travelling the galaxy aboard the Starship Mario in the company of Yoshi.
The gameplay takes place on planets that vary in terms of size, climate, gravity, inhabited creatures, and the challenges awaiting us. We rush across the surface of celestial bodies, jump on platforms, eliminate enemies, and also solve puzzles.
Mushrooms and other treats make our journey easier, providing us with various abilities, such as flying (Bee Mario), passing through objects (Boo Mario), sliding on ice (Ice Mario), shooting fiery projectiles (Fire Mario), or creating additional platforms (Cloud Mario). Yoshi (a playable character in Super Mario Galaxy 2) has separate power-ups, which allow him to run at a sprint (Dash Yoshi), inflate like a balloon (Blimp Yoshi), or illuminate the darkness (Bulb Yoshi).

With streamlined Switch controls and nice, crispy visuals, these games have been brought to the modern era of gamers to experience. Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 on the Switch family of consoles is almost a perfect experience.
MonsterVine: 4 / 5 by Spencer Legacy
There’s no doubt that Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 are excellent games, just as they were when released. This Switch release is a bit off with its pricing and some of the controls in Super Mario Galaxy 2, but the games at the center of it all are brilliant as a whole.
Glitched Africa: 9 / 10 by Marco Cocomello
Super Mario Galaxy & Super Mario Galaxy 2 on the Switch deliver the best way to play Nintendo’s greatest platformers. These games are packed with charming gameplay that you can’t help but enjoy. Every galaxy shows Nintendo’s masterful level design, and it is all backed by an incredible, orchestrated soundtrack. The Switch 2 ports especially shine here, with 4K upgrades enhancing every scene. It accumulates to an experience that is hard to believe is this old.
