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).

Game Ratings for Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 Video Game.
MKAU Gaming: 9 / 10 by Sammy Hanson
Both Super Mario Galaxy games look and play better than ever before and are now available to play on modern Nintendo consoles, allowing fans new and old to go back to play these classics for the first time or relive some of their favourite games in the Mario franchise. The Italian Plumber from Brooklyn is celebrating his 40th Anniversary and is ready to defy gravity on Nintendo Switch in Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2.
PPE.pl: 9 / 10 by Wojciech Gruszczyk
Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 on Nintendo Switch 2 is a pleasant reimagining of two classics that still impress with their inventiveness and gameplay. It's primarily aimed at new players and younger audiences, as series veterans will find more of a nostalgic return than a revolution. It's great fun, but the price should be lower to truly appeal to a wider audience.
TheGamer: 4 / 5 by Jade King
Nintendo was never going to remake Super Mario Galaxy 1+2, nor do I think it ever should unless it wants to risk diluting two undeniable classics. Despite that, this sadly doesn’t feel like the remastered effort you’d expect for such a steep asking price, with myriad flaws from a bygone era holding it back from true greatness. This is now the definitive means to experience two of the best platformers ever made, it’s just unfortunate that the package is prohibitively expensive and borderline insulting to those who want to enjoy it most.
