Two players can play together by sharing the Joy-Con, with the second player collecting and shooting Star Bits. A free update adds 4K in TV mode on Nintendo Switch 2. The game is rated PEGI 7.

What the press says

All three reviews used here were played on Nintendo Switch 2. Nintendo Life (9/10) calls them two of the most sublime games ever created, better looking than ever thanks to upgraded textures, with small but welcome additions; it regrets that gyro aiming is not as effective as the Wii pointer, so you recentre the cursor a lot, and notes minor camera issues. It finds the price high while judging the content worth it. VGC (5/5) describes 3D Mario platforming at its very best, imaginative and expert design and games that still look stunning nearly 20 years on, but finds gyro controls frustrating at times in Galaxy 2. Nintendo Insider (10/10) praises sharper visuals, quick loading and gyro controls that accurately replicate the Wii Remote, and calls both adventures unmissable on Switch 2 or Switch.
