Nintendo has released a new update for Super Mario 3D All-Stars as of July 15, 2025, which enhances the performance of this compilation game when played on the Switch 2 console. This update continues to support users despite the game being delisted from the Nintendo eShop in March 2021.
About Super Mario 3D All-Stars
The collection, celebrating the Super Mario franchise’s 35th anniversary, includes Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario Galaxy, all optimized for Switch with a Docked Mode resolution of 1080p. After only six months of availability, the game was discontinued in March 2021, leading to skyrocketing prices for physical copies, currently averaging around $100.
What’s New in Version 1.1.3?
The recent update is specifically designed to address performance issues for players using the Switch 2. While prior versions had added features like Nintendo 64 controller support, this patch focuses solely on gameplay improvements. Users will need to connect to the internet to download the update, which is available for free, and no subscription to Nintendo Switch Online is required.
Future of Super Mario 3D All-Stars
Despite its delisting, Super Mario 3D All-Stars remains significant in the gaming community, especially with ongoing rumors about new Nintendo Directs and the upcoming 40th anniversary of the Super Mario Bros. franchise. Whether Nintendo will reintroduce this title during the Switch 2’s lifecycle remains uncertain.
Update Highlights
