Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 Updated To Version 1.3.0, Here Are The Full Patch Notes

Nintendo continues its streak of surprising legacy updates as Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 both receive the Version 1.3.0 update today. This unexpected patch is part of a broader push to optimize the Super Mario 3D All-Stars library for the modern era.

Switch 2 Power Boost

While the games remain masterpieces on the original Switch, the 1.3.0 update unlocks a new ‘Super-Mode’ for Nintendo Switch 2 users. This mode provides a nearly locked 4K resolution at 60fps, with significantly improved anti-aliasing that eliminates the shimmering on the edges of planetoids. The cosmic environments of the Comet Observatory have never looked more beautiful or more detailed.

Control Refinement

The update also introduces official support for Joy-Con 2 Pointer Controls. These new controllers feature a specialized sensor that provides much more accurate and stable pointer functionality compared to the original gyroscopes, making the collection of Star Bits and the management of gravity-flipping sections smoother than ever before.

Patch Notes v1.3.0

• Added visual optimization profiles for Nintendo Switch 2 (4K support).
• Implemented full Joy-Con 2 pointer control support.
• Reduced loading times when traveling between galaxies.
• Fixed a minor audio synchronization issue in the credits sequence of Galaxy 2.
