They say that while some scenes have improved detail, others look "washed out" or appear to have missing textures.

Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 will release for Nintendo Switch on 2 October. Nintendo priced the single game at $40 and the pair at $70, prompting complaints about cost. Players on Reddit and X posted side-by-side comparisons showing some scenes with improved detail but other areas appearing washed out or missing textures.

Some comparisons also contrast the Switch ports with 3D All Stars footage, arguing parts of the game now look worse than previous releases.
