Rocket back into two classic 3D platformers, Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 are now available on Nintendo Switch

Today, Nintendo released Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 on Nintendo Switch!

Are you ready for another trip through the cosmos on Starship Mario? Relive your first meeting with Rosalina and the Lumas, once again experience the thrill of partnering with Yoshi, or even embark on your very first mission to save the galaxy from Bowser with the return of the Super Mario Galaxy game and the debut of the Super Mario Galaxy 2 game for the Nintendo Switch system (also playable on the Nintendo Switch 2 system).

The beloved gravity-defying adventures now feature enhanced visuals upgraded for both game systems as well as some surprising additions. Get ready to discover brand-new chapters to the in-game Storybooks and explore even more about Rosalina and the Lumas! (Wait, are those Star Bits forming in your eyes?)

Alongside sharper resolution and the additional Storybook elements, these new versions of the classic Wii system titles allow you to explore a new soundtrack mode – which includes newly-added tracks! – as well as gameplay improvements like Assist Mode (which gives you additional health and fall recovery) and AutoSave. And just like before, you can access the Prankster Comet time trial stage to shake some of the rust off your planet-hopping skills.

Use button, stick, and motion controls adapted to the Joy-Con and Joy-Con 2 controllers from the original Wii versions to jump, glide, swing and explore as you collect Power Stars and power-ups – including Mushrooms that bestow powerful, temporary abilities like flying, floating and more. 

The games are available as a bundle (in both physical and digital versions) and individually in digital-only versions on My Nintendo Store. The physical game bundle is also available via local retailers.
