Super Mario Sunshine will be released on Nintendo Switch 2. The GameCube platformer will appear on the new console on August 13, 2026, as part of the GameCube Classics collection.

After a long silence, Nintendo confirmed the release of an almost complete version of the original 2002 game. Now the entire lineup of classic Mario games will be available in one place.

The updated edition will feature improved graphics and built-in save functions, making the game more convenient for modern players. At the same time, the developers will retain all the features of the original – including controversial moments and secret levels without the use of FLUDD.

Super Mario Sunshine will be available to Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscribers. Along with the announcement, Nintendo released a trailer demonstrating the features of the game, which still remains one of the most memorable parts of the series.
