New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe
The New Super Mario Bros. series is the legacy of the classic Mario platformer. In this case, it is a port direct from the game that came out on Wii U in 2012. The expansion was added to the original game New Super Luigi U and Toadette was also added as a playable character.
Super Mario Maker 2
The Mario game with which you can make your own Mario games had its second installment in 2019 for Nintendo Switch. It is a evolution with respect to the original Super Mario Maker for Wii U. Among its novelties stands out the possibility of creating scenarios in 2.5D perspective exactly the same as in Super Mario 3D World. New objects and more variety are also included to avoid monotony in the scenarios.
Super Mario 3D World (+ Bowser's Fury)
The Switch catalog is full of games that never achieved success because of the failed Wii U. Super Mario 3D World came out for Wii U in 2013. Bowser's Fury was added on Switch as a bundle. It is a open world mode heavily influenced by what was previously seen in Super Mario Sunshine.
Super Mario Odyssey
Odyssey is the most recent title in the super mario 3d line, like Mario 64 or Mario Galaxy. It also brought back the open world aspect that had been completely lost in Super Mario Galaxy 2. The game begins with an impending wedding between Bowser and Princess Peach, who for a change has been kidnapped. Mario manages to prevent it, but his hat is shattered in the attempt. This will allow Mario to meet Cappy, a small hat-shaped alien who will be his ally throughout the adventure.
This game came out in 2017, a few months after the console was released. Surprisingly, critics raved about Mario through the roof, as Nintendo was able to deliver a game that was good enough not to be swallowed up by Mario himself. hyping what gender.
Super Mario Party
This is the primer title of Mario Party what went out for Nintendo Switch. As in previous installments, Mario and his companions will compete on a board in rounds. Between rounds, all players (up to 4 per console) will have to face a common minigame.
This installment, which is the twelfth of Mario Party, was well received. However, he had criticisms regarding the time to play, and it is that the title it is only compatible if use is made of Joy-Cons, and not being able to play with any other command other than the official ones.
Mario Party superstars
El second title of Mario Party for Switch it is Mario Party Superstars, released in October 2021. It is not the first time that two Mario Parties have been released for the same console, as it was quite common at the beginning of the saga.
Superstars comes to solve some of the problems that were reported in the previous installment, adding compatibility regardless of the controller we choose to play. It also adds a new online mode exclusive and a challenge mode daily where we can face random players from around the world. Let's say that it is a game that has abandoned its "party" genre a bit to get closer to a single player with online functions. Obvious, knowing that we live in an era of social distancing.
Paper mario: the origami king
Developed by Intelligent Systems, the original Paper Mario team, this installment of the paper plumber takes up the RPG concept that we had seen in some previous generations as in Paper Mario and the Millennial Door.
In this installment, King Olly kidnaps Peach and takes control of Bowser's army to turn the paper world into origami. Our archenemy Bowser will fight with us throughout the adventure to prevent the villain's plans.

In this role playing game with exploration and turn-based combat. It came out in 2017, but a new installment of this game is planned for 2022 and it will be called Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
Ported directly from Wii U, this Mario Kart is the most varied and complete that we have been able to enjoy so far. It was originally released for Wii U. On Switch it was released with the last name "Deluxe", since offers two DLCs that were purchased separately on the original console.
Super Mario 3D All Stars
This title combines the three greatest hits in 3D Nintendo's Plumber. It was a Limited Edition which officially stopped being distributed on March 31, 2021, both online and in physical format, although if you are interested in this game, you should know that it is still easy to find it in stores.
The title combines Super Mario 64 (Nintendo 64, 1996), Super Mario Sunshine (Nintendo GameCube, 2002) and Super Mario Galaxy (Nintendo Wii, 2007).
The strategist that Nintendo took was quite attacked at the time for promoting the phenomenon FOMO, for not having improved at all Super Mario 64 and for the exaggerated price at which the bundle. In any case, the three games included in this pack are essential for everything nintendo that prides itself
