In the original release of Galaxy, a second player could control a cursor onscreen to grab Star Bits and fire them at enemies help Mario jump or grab enemies to stop them in their tracks.Ī statement made by Nintendo requiring clarification for the extent of required motion controls in Super Mario Galaxy in Super Mario 3D All-Stars is as follows:

That’s not promptly clear, though, as based on the Super Mario 3D All-Stars page on, which calls to focus that players can “Gently shake a Joy-Con controller to activate Mario’s Spin ability or pass a Joy-Con controller to a friend for some extra help in Co-Star Mode.” An asterisk for that sentence specifies elaborates: “If playing on Nintendo Switch Lite, detached Joy-Con controllers are required and sold separately.”

However, it doesn’t sound like Joy-Con motion control will be required to play Super Mario Galaxy on Switch. The third game on that list, slated for the motion-control-powered Wii in 2007, will require motion controls for a few facets of the game. Nintendo announced the Super Mario 3D All-Stars collection on Thursday, confirming long-standing rumors that Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario Galaxy will be re-released on Nintendo Switch.
