Super Mario Galaxy™ + Super Mario Galaxy™ 2 by Nintendo

Worth it! Yes, I already own both of these in their original form – BUT – I am thrilled to have them both on a single cart for Switch! You already know the games are AWESOME – it just comes down to whether or not you are in the “price is too high” camp or if you have the money and/or never played these titles in the past. From my standpoint, this is a 10/10 must have release for switch!!

Two of the best platformers ever made on one cart. Yes the price is not appealing, as these were $9.99 on the Wii U store a couple years ago, but now these are updated visually to run 4k 60fps on Switch 2. Making this a must buy for those who have never played these games. 100% on the cart, runs great, top tier gameplay, and for those who like the movies and are looking forward to the new one, this game will give you a little background on the whole “Galaxy” thing. In the world of platformers, these are in the top 5 easily.

Stellar Duo That Shines Brighter Than Ever on Nintendo Switch

The Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 collection for the Nintendo Switch is an absolute masterpiece that brings two of Mario’s greatest 3D adventures together in stunning form. Both games have aged incredibly well, and the improvements made for the Switch make this collection a must-have for any fan of platforming or classic Nintendo magic.

The visuals are crisp and vibrant, with the remastered HD resolution breathing new life into the galaxies. Each world still feels full of wonder, creativity, and charm, whether you’re soaring through space in the first game or exploring inventive new levels in the sequel. The improved frame rate makes gameplay smoother than ever, and the motion controls—once a Wii staple—translate surprisingly well to the Joy-Cons or can be comfortably played in handheld mode with traditional controls.

Gameplay-wise, both titles remind you why Mario is the king of platformers. The first Galaxy sets the standard with its gravity-defying mechanics and breathtaking cosmic environments, while Galaxy 2 builds on that formula with tighter level design, Yoshi integration, and even more imaginative challenges. The difficulty progression feels perfectly balanced, appealing to both casual players and completionists who want to collect every star.

The music deserves special praise—it’s orchestral perfection that captures the wonder of space exploration and the excitement of Mario’s journey. Each soundtrack piece adds emotional depth and energy to the adventure.

Overall, Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 for Nintendo Switch is a flawless collection that celebrates two of the greatest games ever made. Whether you’re reliving nostalgic memories or playing for the first time, this package offers endless fun, challenge, and beauty from start to finish.

Final Verdict:
An essential collection that proves Mario’s cosmic adventures are timeless. Nintendo at its absolute best.

Both games look great in 4k, so glad galaxy 2 is finally on the switch and getting the attention it deserves. Worth noting you buy these games separately digitally if you don’t want to pay full price or have 3d all stars already and just want 2. The games themselves need no introduction, they’re some of the best Nintendo has ever done. Fun and imaginative all the way through, love these games.
