Customer Ratings & Reviews

An awesome collection of classic Mario, and cheaper than buying the originals.

So it's 2 of the greatest 3D Mario games of all time and the most underrated 3D Mario game of all time, all on one cartridge. If you already have all three games on their native* systems, you'll only want to get this because you'll be more easily able to take those games with you. If you've never played these before, it's worth picking up because all three are very fun and very, very deep in terms of the play through (though the storylines remain the whole "Mario saves the day" thing, as with the greater majority of Mario games). Graphics are ripped directly from the respective versions of these games, as are frame rates. While there are patches out there for those who run these in emulation to increase the quality of textures, the frame rates in Sunshine (frame locked to 30fps) and Mario 64 (which often runs at less than 30 fps), and to make Mario 64 into a widescreen game, Nintendo chose to ignore all of that and keep it original. I actually do appreciate this, but I know some fans are disappointed by no HD touchups. The biggest area of improvement for all three games is audio. Playing with my home theater receiver doing the audio instead of my TV's speakers, all 3 games had accurate 5.1 channel surround sound. The soundtracks for all three games being accessible as an extra is a nice bonus - especially Super Mario Galaxy's fully-orchestrated score. All in all, this is worth getting if you don't already have these games or you want to be able to take them with you on the go. Also, as a collector edition thing (because this is going away at the end of March), this is a cart that will only go up in value.

Three Mario classics in one HD package, but a bit barebones beyond the default games. Only supplemental material are the soundtracks of the three games and the controls take some getting used to.

Great game(s). I bought for my son for Christmas and he loves it. Just as good as I remember it. A+.

Amazing game, it takes me back to my childhood. Mario64 just looks so good! And portable is a plus

Great game, brings back all of the nostalgia. Would definitely recommend, either buy to play or invest

If you have ever played these games before, your muscle memory will betray you; buttons on controllers do not do what you expect them to do, and you will need to relearn what button does what. The game itself disappoints in a few ways, and nearly all of them are owed to its lack of control over controls. There is no in-game way to rebind controls, so if you want to use the B button to attack in Super Mario 64, you will need to leave the game to rebind the controls in the Switch's system menu. While this might not be an issue for a controller that cannot be plugged into the Switch, it might be an issue for you Retro Brawler 64 USB users out there. More insultingly, there are no binding options to use the classic Gamecube controller settings for Super Mario Sunshine, controllers that have been made available not only in USB form, but using the original Gamecube controller hardware and official USB dongle. B no longer functions as the attack button, instead another jump. Y now functions to pick up and dive, instead of activating Mario-Cam. In Super Mario Galaxy, spin attacks and pointer options map poorly to Joy-Cons. Positive revisions of the game include changing references to the buttons, so there is a new "+" sprite used in the starting screen of Super Mario 64, saying to PRESS + instead of PRESS START. The graphics are crisp, and images crystal-clear on modern displays over HDMI, without having to use older component cables to connect the original consoles. The out-of-box experience simply was not what I was hoping for when paying $60 to pay these three games. If you have the Wii U, enjoy Super Mario 64 for $10 through the Virtual Console. Super Mario Galaxy can be bought digitally for $20. So, that leaves Super Mario Sunshine at a price tag that at best is $30 (more if you value the other two games at less).

I love having 3 games in one! I don’t have to change out the game each time.

Love this game. It’s fun but hard. I’m having trouble getting used to the controls on my switch lite.

Great game. Very nostalgic. My son absolutely loves Mario and this game is a winner

I had regrets not buying it sooner as a digital copy before Nintendo took it down. So the only way to play them would be through hard copy. No regrets. Lots of fun, and just nostalgic to the younger days. For Mario Galaxy, I’ll recommend playing with the joy-cons detached so it’s the same feel as the Nintendo Wii controller setup. Otherwise the handheld way with touch screen was a bit harder to navigate.

This game is cool, but it’s kind of a let down. Cons: 1. The controls are reversed and there’s no way to fix them. 2. There’s no GameCube controller support for Mario Sunshine. 3. It came shipped in a bubble envelope and shipping was pretty late. Bubble envelopes are risky because they don’t protect the game box very well. So don’t order this online if your a collector. I wish bestbuy would use small boxes for these games instead of bubble envelopes. (I pre-ordered this game). Pros: 1. You can play Mario games on the go while in handheld mode. That’s the only advantage of this collection in my opinion. I hope Nintendo fixes the reversed controls someday because they are almost unbearable.

Love that they remade theses games, only one bad thing they changed the controls on sunshine and makes it harder to control mario/ camera. They do look amazing and are still great games.

Very nostalgic game, the controls are well not much of a change from the originals... feels good tho

A pleasant trip down memory lane. Wish Nintendo added more content but still a great experience overall.

Limited edition remaster. The games hold up well. Get this while it last, since quantities are limited.

I am reliving these games through my son. I never played Mario 64 but I remember spending many many hours on Sunshine and Galaxy. Watching my son play and telling him secrets and tips I remember from when I played so many years ago has bonded us just a little tighter than before. Who would have thought these games would still be relevant to the younger generation? Thanks Nintendo for bringing them back and thanks Best Buy for the great price!

Great deal - 3 great games and you can take them on the go as well. Looks good in handheld and tv modes.

3 great games for 1 incredible price. Mario galaxy specially looks beautiful on the switch

Pure nostalgia. I really love playing Super Mario Galaxy again. The same for Super Mario Sunshine. :-)
