mario games for nintendo switch

Mario titles on Switch span multiple genres, including racing, adventure, platformers, action/platformer hybrids, and party games.

Both formats are available: some Mario titles are sold as physical cartridges while others are distributed as digital downloads.

Most listings specify compatibility with the standard Nintendo Switch and the Switch Lite. Fewer listings also name the OLED model, and one listing mentions support beyond currently listed Switch models.

Common special features include capture mechanics and new move sets, built-in course creation with online sharing, unique tools (for example, vacuum/ghost-capturing mechanics or controllable doppelgängers), free-roaming open-area segments, and a variety of power-ups and collectible-driven effects.

Several titles support two-player play using a single controller passed between players; many also let you add extra controllers so more players can share one system. Advertised single-system options commonly include two-player co-op with one controller and local multiplayer for up to four players or more, depending on the game.

An online account and subscription are required for online multiplayer and for online sharing features such as course sharing, leaderboards/rankings, and other community functions in the listed titles.

Common input features include sharing a single controller between players, motion and mouse-style inputs for certain minigames, use of the system’s built-in microphone in some modes, and optional support for compatible cameras via USB-C for select features.
