Last week, Super Mario 3D All-Stars released on the Nintendo Switch, and fans have been loving the opportunity to relive their nostalgia through one bundle. The collection of Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario Galaxy has been a smash hit with Super Mario 3D All-Stars selling out almost instantly on Amazon after it was announced. However, some players have discovered an odd typo from Super Mario 64 is still present in 3D All-Stars, causing fans to wonder how it didn't get fixed.
In Super Mario 64, players can eventually make their way to the top of Peach's castle and meet up with everyone's favorite dino pal, Yoshi. When greeted, Yoshi exclaims, " Mario!!! It that really you??? It has been so long since our last adventure!" While it's odd enough as it is that Yoshi, the normally mute companion, is talking, it's odder still that Nintendo left an obvious typo in the text. Instead of "It that really you???" it should read "Is that really you???"
What makes this typo even weirder is that Nintendo went through and fixed text throughout the rest of Super Mario 3D All-Stars. This typo is but one of many problems that players have pointed that need to be fixed in 3D All-Stars, with some drawing attention to Super Mario Sunshine's poor camera controls.
While things like typos and camera controls are relatively minor in the grand schemes of life, they do feed into the bigger controversy surrounding Super Mario 3D All-Stars. Not only is the collection available for a limited amount of time, but the game sits at a full $60, which is a fairly hefty ask in comparison to other remaster trilogies like the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy which was only $40. These issues have led some players to believe that Nintendo did little work on the collection and released it as a cash grab.
Things haven't been helped by the fact that the games on Super Mario 3D All-Stars may be running on emulators as well. Only a couple days before the collection was set to release, it leaked online with players datamining it and discovering that the games inside were running off of emulators designed by Nintendo, making them not straight ports.
Despite all of this, in general, critics and players alike have been loving their time with the collection. Critic scores for Super Mario 3D All-Stars have been around 8.5/10, with many saying that the game is wonderful for recapturing one's inner child.
