Super Mario 3D All-Stars

Super Mario 3D All-Stars is a Nintendo Switch compilation game, released on September 18, 2020 to celebrate the 35th anniversary of Super Mario Bros. It contains Super Mario 64 (1996), Super Mario Sunshine (2002), and Super Mario Galaxy (2007) with upscaled visuals. It has been made available in limited quantities as a retail edition, and a digital edition available until late March 2021. The compilation and name is based on Super Mario All-Stars, but instead contains the first three 3D platformers of the Super Mario series.

Changes from the original games include 720p resolution and rumble in Super Mario 64 (which was also featured in Shindō Pak Taiō Version), 1080p resolution and a 16:9 aspect ratio in Super Mario Sunshine, and 1080p resolution and motion controls that mimic the Wii Remote in Super Mario Galaxy. All three games support docked, tabletop, and handheld modes, with Super Mario Galaxy having the player use the button to spin and emulate the pointer with the touch screen on handheld mode. Each game also modifies control graphics and tutorial text to correspond to the Nintendo Switch. Additionally, the game contains a "Super Mario Music Player" mode with the soundtracks of the three respective games, including 175 tracks in total.

The main menu of the game, along with the selection of the games, displays the original release date and system of each game, along with a description of the games' stories and mechanics introduced for those games.

Changes to Super Mario 64

 * The game is based on Shindō Pak Taiō Version, available in English for the first time. However, the notice for compatibility with the Rumble Pak has been removed.
 * In the screen with Mario's head, the text saying "PRESS START" now says "PRESS ", with a brand new text icon.
 * The options menu is removed, likely due to the Nintendo Switch already having sound options in its settings, and due to the language options being moved to the game selection screen.
 * The game's camera controls have been flipped to be normal instead of inverted.
 * The directional buttons now act as full analog presses on the control stick.
 * The text has been updated to reflect the new controls.
 * The orange square on the puzzle image of Bowser's left ankle found in Lethal Lava Land has been removed.

Changes to Super Mario Sunshine

 * On the title screen, the text is changed from "PRESS START!" to "PRESS ".
 * The Rumble option no longer has the image of the GameCube Controller.
 * In F.L.U.D.D.'s tutorial video, F.L.U.D.D. says "press the button" instead of "press the R button". This is because spraying is done by and  in Super Mario 3D All-Stars, and the subtitles have been changed to reflect this.
 * The Stereo/Mono/Surround option is removed, likely due to the Nintendo Switch already having such an option in its settings.
 * The game's camera controls have been flipped to be normal instead of inverted.
 * The text has been updated to reflect the new controls.

Changes to Super Mario Galaxy

 * The player only needs to press one button on the title screen, rather than two buttons simultaneously ( and ) like in the original Wii release.
 * Miis can no longer be selected as a save icon.
 * Due to the lack of speakers in the Joy-Con controllers, any sounds played through the Wii Remote speaker are absent.
 * The animated icon for how to spin by shaking the Wii Remote has now been changed to a Joy-Con.
 * The text has been updated to reflect the new controls.
 * The game features extra tutorial dialogue to accommodate for handheld mode.
 * When the player talks to the Mailtoad on the 121st star in the Grand Finale Galaxy, he now has different dialogue. The "Yes" or "No" prompt is now removed, thus the two images obtained from him are automatically sent to the Nintendo Switch album if the player talks to him. Additionally, the message from the SUPER MARIO GALAXY staff that was originally sent to the Wii Message Board is now read out by the Mailtoad in-game.
 * The camera icon on the Star List that was used to take a screenshot of the list has been removed, due to the Nintendo Switch having its own screen capture button on the left Joy-Con controller.

Limited-release controversy
Super Mario 3D All-Stars's limited release date for both physical and digital copies of the game drew controversy from various fans and internet personalities. Elise Favis from The Washington Post compared the limited release situation to the "Disney Vault", a term used to compare to Disney's policy around releasing home videos of its movies and then temporarily removed until a subsequent timed release and lamented how Nintendo should not simply release them from the get-go, which was a common criticism used by various other writers as well. Favis has additionally brought up the lack of a Virtual Console service, which compounds the issue some fans have with the limited release. Alexandra Sakellariou from Screen Rant asserts the reason Nintendo has made the game limited release boils down to potential profits from it being labeled as an "anniversary release", and has worried about the future Mario releases if this sales tactic ends up succeeding.

On YouTube, Jim Sterling from the Jimquisition, who primarily writes videos highly critiquing the game industry, compared Nintendo's move to prior, difficult-to-obtain Nintendo products that are high demand, namely amiibo and the NES Classic Edition systems. He has brought up or "FOMO" as the primary reason Nintendo has artificially limited stock of the game, which urges a "have" and "have-not" system and persuades players to own the game and is echoed by other critics of the move. Yong Yea, who creates videos that research into various controversies of the game industry, documents the reaction on his channel with his video, while saying that the bundle was a good deal for some people and some fans reacted positively to the news, the like / dislike ratio was decent, and that he wants it personally himself, he has criticized the timed, limited release the bundle has and that it especially includes the limited digital release. He has called the deadline of the 6 month limited window "anti-consumer" and "senseless", especially compounded with the concurrent COVID-19 pandemic that left customers in harder economic situations that makes it more difficult to pay for a 60 dollar game on top of the difficulty obtaining a Nintendo Switch at the time.

Trivia

 * Despite all three titles in Super Mario 3D All-Stars being known to be fully localized in Simplified Chinese (albeit with Super Mario Sunshine's Chinese edition being unreleased), the collection does not include any of the Chinese localization and only offers Chinese translation in the game menu. It was said that negotiations were attempted, but was ultimately unsuccessful as iQue/ localization was considered "spin-off" translations not in direct ownership of Nintendo.
