Super Mario Bros. 35 turns classic gameplay into a Battle Royale
To celebrate the 35th anniversary of Super Mario Bros, Nintendo today released Super Mario Bros. 35, a battle royale game for Switch which pits you against 34 other Marios to determine once and for all who is the Mario-est.
A Mario battle royale sounds absurd, but one look at the trailer has me sold on this. The genre was looking a little long in the tooth at the start of 2020, but the recent success of Fall Guys proves there’s room for new titles to make a splash.
Super Mario Bros. 35 looks like silly, addictive fun, with gameplay reminiscent of Tetris 99, another classic series that translated to battle royale far more smoothly than it had any right to. Players can send enemies they defeat to hassle their opponents and must keep going as courses get gradually more hectic, until they are the last plumber standing.
Super Mario Bros. 35 can be downloaded for free by Nintendo Switch Online members. It will be available to play until March 31 2021.
