Nintendo has officially revealed that Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 will be released together in a new collection for the Nintendo Switch. The bundle, titled Super Mario Galaxy 1+2, will launch on October 2, 2025, bringing two of Mario’s most acclaimed 3D adventures to the hybrid console.
Alongside the collection, Nintendo confirmed a few extras for longtime fans. A physical version of Rosalina’s Story Book will be made available, with new pages added to expand on the narrative elements tied to the Galaxy series. In addition, a brand-new Super Mario Galaxy amiibo is scheduled to launch on February 4, 2026, giving collectors another reason to celebrate the return of these beloved titles.
Originally released in 2007 for the Wii, Super Mario Galaxy was praised for its innovative use of gravity mechanics, vibrant level design, and orchestrated soundtrack. Directed by Yoshiaki Koizumi, the game quickly became a critical and commercial success, selling over 12 million copies and earning numerous Game of the Year awards. Its sequel, Super Mario Galaxy 2, released in 2010, built upon the formula with more challenging levels and expanded gameplay ideas, cementing the Galaxy duology as one of Nintendo’s finest achievements.
Both titles have been re-released in limited forms before, such as the Super Mario 3D All-Stars collection in 2020, but this marks the first time they are bundled together in a dedicated release for the Switch. Given their reputation as some of the best 3D platformers ever made, the upcoming collection is expected to attract both nostalgic fans and newcomers alike.
With the Galaxy series celebrating nearly two decades since its debut, Nintendo’s decision to revisit these cosmic adventures feels like a fitting tribute to Mario’s legacy. Fans can look forward to reliving the gravity-defying gameplay this October, just months ahead of the release of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie in 2026.
