Changes from the original games include 720p resolution and rumble in ''Super Mario 64'' (which was also featured in ''Shindō Pak Taiō Version''), 1080p resolution and a 16:9 aspect ratio in ''Super Mario Sunshine'', and 1080p resolution and motion controls that mimic the [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remote]] in ''Super Mario Galaxy''.<ref>Video Games Chronicle (September 3, 2020).

{{see also|Super Mario 64#Changes in Super Mario 64: Shindō Pak Taiō Version{{!}}Super Mario 64 § Changes in Super Mario 64: Shindō Pak Taiō Version}}

*The game is based on ''Shindō Pak Taiō Version'', available in English for the first time.<ref>Master0fHyrule (September 18, 2020).

Retrieved September 23, 2020.</ref> However, the notice for compatibility with the Rumble Pak has been removed.

*The options menu is removed, likely due to the Nintendo Switch already having sound options in its settings, and due to the language options being moved to the game-selection screen.

*The text has been updated to reflect the new controls. However, {{button|switch|Leftstick}} is written in read-only text, while {{button|switch|Rightstick}} is an icon.<ref>https://twitter.com/guywiththepie/status/1309250063202304000</ref>

**The button prompts are not updated to their original icons when the player uses the [[Nintendo Switch Online]] [[Nintendo 64]] controller.

*Connecting the second controller to move the camera during the ending is no longer possible,<ref>Nintendo Life (September 23, 2020). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpFFkStYqI8 35 Changes in Super Mario 3D All-Stars from the Originals (64, Sunshine, Galaxy)]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved September 24, 2020.</ref> as the emulator detects inputs from all connected controllers as the first controller.

<!--Mario saying "Buh-bye!" instead of "So long kinga Bowser!" and the removal of the backwards long jump glitch were changes made in the Shindō Pak Taiō Version of the game, not the 3D All-Stars port. Please do not add them here.-->

**Therefore, a [[Toad (species)|Yellow Toad]] is in his intended position when [[Shadow Mario]] kidnaps [[Princess Peach]] and waits near [[Pinna Park]]'s entrance. In the original game, he was placed on the death barrier below the ground.<ref>https://www.suppermariobroth.com/post/639226660714053632/top-in-the-original-gamecube-version-of-super</ref>

*The Dolby Surround Pro Logic II logo no longer displays during the game's boot-up sequence.

*On the title screen, the text is changed from "PRESS START!" to "PRESS {{button|switch|A}}," although pressing Start ({{button|switch|Plus}}) still works. It is also positioned underneath the logo like in the original Japanese and PAL versions in all versions instead of split across either side of it.

**FLUDD simply says "button" instead of "R button." This is because when the player uses normal controls, spraying and refilling is done by both {{button|switch|R}} and {{button|switch|ZR}}, and the subtitles have been changed to reflect this.

**FLUDD simply says "stick" instead of "Control Stick," though the subtitles change this to "Left Stick."

**The button prompts are not updated to their original icons or voice clips when the player uses the [[Nintendo GameCube]] controller.

*The [[Memory Card|memory card]] is no longer mentioned when the player saves the game since the Nintendo Switch does not use memory cards other than SD Cards.  

*The postcard image that appears after the player has collected all of the [[Shine Sprite]]s and beaten [[Bowser]] and [[Bowser Jr.]] is smaller.<ref>https://twitter.com/antdude92/status/1313995304463593473</ref>

*The resolution is high enough for the player to read the writing on [[Gooper Blooper]]'s cork. The cork reads "bsgeso," likely short for "Boss Gessō," his Japanese name.<ref>https://twitter.com/mariobrothblog/status/1038116671280631809?lang=en</ref>

*The player needs to press only one button ({{button|switch|A}}) on the title screen, rather than two buttons simultaneously ({{button|wii|A}} and {{button|wii|B}}) like in the original [[Wii]] release. The prompt was changed from "Press both {{button|wii|A}} and {{button|wii|B}}," to "Press {{button|switch|A}}," to reflect this.

**Due to this, the blue glow effect that appears around the logo when the player presses only {{button|wii|A}} in the original Wii release no longer appears. Only the yellow glow (from pressing {{button|wii|B}} in the original) is present if the player presses {{button|switch|B}}.<ref>https://twitter.com/CometObservator/status/1316127626948489216</ref>

*[[Mii]]s can no longer be selected as a save icon, like in the Nvidia Shield version, despite Mii creation still being available on the Switch.

*Due to the lack of speakers in the [[Nintendo Switch#Joy-Con|Joy-Con]] controllers, any sounds played through the [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remote]] speakers are instead heard through the game's audio.

*The animated icon for how to [[spin]] by shaking the Wii Remote has now been changed to a Joy-Con (R). The animated icon for motion control-related tutorials displays guidance for both a Joy-Con (R) and the entire Nintendo Switch console in handheld mode, regardless of which input is being used at the time.

*The text has been updated to reflect the new controls.

*The game features extra tutorial dialogue to accommodate for handheld mode.

*When the player talks to the [[Mailtoad]] on the 121st [[Power Star]] in the [[Grand Finale Galaxy]], he now has different dialogue. The "Yes" or "No" prompt is now removed, thus the two images obtained from him are automatically sent to the Nintendo Switch album if the player talks to him. Additionally, the message from the ''Super Mario Galaxy'' staff that was originally sent to the [[Wii#Wii Message Board|Wii Message Board]] is now read out by the Mailtoad in-game.<ref>BeardBear.

*The camera icon on the [[Star List]] that was used to take a screenshot of the list has been removed, due to the Nintendo Switch having a screen capture button on the Joy-Con (L) and Pro Controller.

*The player can no longer pan the camera while in [[cannon]]s by holding down {{button|wii|Z}} and moving the controller away from the screen, due to the lack of a Sensor Bar.

*Also due to the lack of a Sensor Bar, the [[Star Pointer]] brought up by the Wii Remote automatically instead is brought up by pressing {{button|switch|R}} on any menu (or clicking the stick in Co-Star Mode), in order to stay faithful to the original Wii's menu controls.

*In addition to the higher-definition HUD textures present in all three games, ''Super Mario Galaxy'' has also received a small selection of higher-definition textures within the game, mainly the text.

*Due to the lack of [[Wii#Nunchuk|Nunchuk]] compatibility, the text boxes that appear when the player needs to connect it, when it is connected, and when communications with it have been interrupted no longer appear.

|"''The [[Nintendo 64]] system gave this Mario adventure a more realistic instrumental sound than any prior game in the [[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]] series. This soundtrack enhanced player experiences with arrangements that smoothly transitioned between each 3D space.''"

|"''Enjoy the bouncy, tropical sounds of [[Isle Delfino]], released here for the first time! The ever-catchy [[Delfino Plaza]] theme boasts a bounty of variations. Some classic Mario melodies also turn up—like the [[Underground Theme|underground music]] from [[Super Mario Bros.]], newly arranged here as Shadow Mario's theme!''"

|"''This soundtrack marks the first use of full orchestra in the Super Mario series. The bright, bittersweet, and inspiring sounds of this score work to capture the majesty of space exploration. These tracks were originally released in Japan as a two-disc [[Club Nintendo (rewards program)|Club Nintendo]] exclusive.''"

Retrieved September 20, 2020.</ref> Elise Favis from ''The Washington Post'' compared the limited release situation to the "{{wp|Disney Vault}}", referring to The Walt Disney Company's policy of regularly cycling home media releases of its films in and out of {{wp|Moratorium (entertainment)|moratorium}}; Favis and other writers considered the decision anti-consumerist, and they opined that a more traditional release pattern would be more favorable towards buyers. Favis additionally brought up the lack of a [[Virtual Console]] service on Nintendo Switch, compounding the issue some fans had with the limited release (though ''Super Mario 64'' was later additionally made available on the console through [[Nintendo 64 - Nintendo Switch Online]]). Alexandra Sakellariou from ''Screen Rant'' asserted the reason [[Nintendo]] made the game limited release boiled down to potential profits from it being labeled as an "anniversary release", and worried about whether future releases would adopt a similar pattern if this sales tactic ends up succeeding.

On YouTube, game industry analyst and critic Jim Sterling compared Nintendo's move to prior, difficult-to-obtain Nintendo products that were high in demand, specifically citing [[amiibo]] and the [[Classics#NES Classic Edition|NES Classic Edition]]. They <!-- Jim Sterling is non-binary - please do not change to 'he'--> brought up {{wp|fear of missing out}} as a potential reason for the limited release, which urged a "have" and "have-not" system and persuaded players to own the game, and was echoed by other critics of the move.<ref>Jim Sterling.

''Super Mario 3D All-Stars'' has been positively received with critics, receiving an 83 on Metacritic based on 61 reviews.<ref>[https://www.metacritic.com/game/switch/super-mario-3d-all-stars Metacritic score for ''Super Mario 3D All-Stars''.] Retrieved September 20, 2020.</ref> Much of the praise is addressed towards the games' perceived quality and the perceived convenience of being able to play them on the Nintendo Switch, with praise specifically directed at the presentation of the games and how they have aged. Common criticisms of the game include the minimal number of changes to the original releases, the price point, the limited release, and the lack of ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''.

Luke Hemming of Cubed3 has given the game a 10/10, stating the bundle represents "the pinnacle of platforming goodness and with perfect ports, as well as top notch optimisation for the console," and writes that the game is a "must-buy" for Nintendo Switch owners. Also, Cubed3 notes how new players can experience the evolution of the three 3D ''Super Mario'' titles and how Nintendo improves the formula of each iteration of games.<ref>Hemming, Luke.

Jon Mundy from Pocket Gamer UK gave the game a 4.5/5 and echoed similar thoughts, proclaiming ''Super Mario Galaxy'' to be the best 3D ''Super Mario'' title of all time and loving all three games in the bundle, citing the improvements and the gameplay that was considered to have aged well.<ref>Mundy, Jon.

On the mixed side, Riley Little from Screen Rant has given the game a 3.5/5, stating that while the games are worth owning for the Nintendo Switch, for players who want to experience the ''Super Mario'' titles again or for new players, they are not exactly a bargain deal either.<ref>Little, Riley.

Sane Trilogy}}'', ''{{wp|Spyro Reignited Trilogy}}'', and ''{{wp|Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2}}'', which all launched as complete graphical overhauls and had cheaper retail prices than ''Super Mario 3D All-Stars''. Little has also written the absence of ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' where no explanation was given for its omission. Stefan L from TheSixthAxis, who gave the game a 7/10, has echoed the sentiment and compared the 35th anniversary to actual 35th birthdays, writing it as unassuming.<ref>Stephan L.

Retrieved September 20, 2020.</ref> He has written that the games themselves benefit from the increased resolution, but he has lamented that Nintendo could have "gone above and beyond in a meaningful way." He opined that ''Super Mario 64'' is the weakest game of the trio due to how many times the game was rereleased, that the compilation was more about preservation than improvement, and that ''Super Mario 64'' is inferior to its Virtual Console release due to the lack of save states and a digital manual.

*Despite all three titles in ''Super Mario 3D All-Stars'' being known to be fully localized in Simplified Chinese (albeit with ''Super Mario Sunshine''{{'}}s Chinese edition being unreleased), the collection does not include any of the Chinese localizations and only offers Chinese translation in the game menu.<ref>https://twitter.com/chinesenintendo/status/1301599829626249216?s=20</ref> Negotiations were said to have been attempted, but doing so was ultimately unsuccessful as [[iQue]]/{{wp|Nvidia Shield}} localization was considered "spin-off" translations not in direct ownership of Nintendo.<ref>https://twitter.com/MetalMarioJSKR/status/1302445969770913792?s=20</ref>
