Nintendo has confirmed a double pack of Super Mario Galaxy games is coming to Nintendo Switch ahead of the Super Mario Galaxy Movie on October 2, 2025.

Super Mario 3D All Stars released five years ago as part of the Super Mario Bros. 35th anniversary, and since then everyone has complained that only the original Super Mario Galaxy was included, with Galaxy 2 being omitted. However, with the reveal of the Super Mario Galaxy Movie coming in 2026 during the Nintendo Direct, Nintendo has confirmed they're coming back.
