In the case of Mario Sunshine it was the increasing reliance on collecting endless blue coins, instead of the more involved missions of earlier in the adventure, but even ignoring that the game is nowhere near as much fun as it should be. By contrast, both Mario Sunshine and Zelda: The Wind Waker suffered from seemingly being rushed, with weak third acts that saw promising beginnings peter out into repetitive fetch quests. The GameCube was a peculiar console in many ways, not least because its most celebrated first party games were all less famous franchises, such as Metroid, F-Zero, Paper Mario, and the nascent Super Smash Bros. Super Mario Sunshine 3D All-Stars remaster review It’s not nearly as aggravating as we were expecting though and while it can frequently clip through objects, or refuse to move when you want it to, you quickly learn to compensate. The one problem, as we’re sure you’ve guessed, is that the camera was far from perfect the first time round and seems even less so now. This was a revelation on the game’s original release but even today it’s still fun simply running around and jumping, which cuts to the heart of Mario’s intrinsic appeal. The lack of hand-holding is not so extreme that modern gamers will be put off though and not being told exactly what to do encourages you to explore and experiment with Mario’s abilities.Ĭonsidering when the game was made the variety of moves, from punches and kicks to triple jumps and cartwheels is hugely impressive. A typical mission will give you a cryptic description, such as ‘Bully the Bullies’ and leave you to work out what to do within the level. The primary goal of the game is to collect stars, which give you access to more and more worlds. The remasters are perfectly competent from a technical point of view but they’re also completely bare bones.Īlthough we hesitate to call it open world, because of the small size, the structure of the game is entirely non-linear, with Princess Peach’s castle acting as a hub from which you can access a range of other worlds that can be anything from a typical lava level or slippy-slidey ice world to the wonderfully imaginative Wet-Dry World and Tiny-Huge Island, which transform and change depending on how you interact with them. Apart from increasing the resolution and tailoring the controls to the Switch there are very few changes to any of the games and absolutely no extra content or options apart from separate access to the soundtracks. It’s a collection of three remasters: Super Mario 64 (a N64 game from 1997), Super Mario Sunshine (a GameCube game from 2002), and Super Mario Galaxy (a Wii game from 2007). And yet Super Mario 3D All-Stars itself is a cheaply made cash grab that feels like it’s been thrown together during Shigeru Miyamoto’s lunch hour.īefore we get into that dichotomy, we should clarify exactly what Super Mario 3D All-Stars is. Super Mario Galaxy is one of the best games ever made and it holds up even better than we expected. And yet we don’t know what else we could’ve given this remaster compilation. ![]() All that said we have to admit that the 10/10 score we’re giving Super Mario 3D All-Stars does not come close to telling the full story.
