Instead of a per level time limit as in ''Super Mario Bros.'', ''Super Mario Bros. 35'' features an overall time limit, with players starting with 35 seconds and earning extra time by defeating enemies and completing levels. Enemies defeated by players are sent to opponents in real-time, appearing in their levels as an additional hindrance to the player. Similar to ''Tetris 99'', players can either manually target their opponents or choose from four types of opponents to attack: players with the most coins collected, players with the least amount of time remaining, players who attack the player themselves, or simply random players.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.gamesradar.com/au/super-mario-bros-35-is-a-limited-time-battle-royale-coming-to-switch-next-month/|title=Super Mario Bros. 35 is a limited-time battle royale coming to Switch next month|first=Connor|last=Sheridan|date=September 3, 2020|website=GamesRadar+|accessdate=September 3, 2020}}</ref>

Along with collecting coins as they play through a level, players can earn a bounty of coins if they knock out any opponents during a match. Collecting 20 coins in a match allows players to spin an Item Roulette that gifts players a random power-up such as super mushrooms, invincibility stars, fire flowers, or POW blocks. Outside of matches players also earn coins based on their placing, all which can be used to power-up Mario before starting each match. Players can also practice any level that they have cleared in the main game mode and review statistics such as matches won, their highest placement, total levels cleared and the number of each type of enemy defeated. Players also level up through play, which unlocks icons that they can use to represent themselves on leaderboards.

Critics praise the game for its concept, combining [[Super Mario Bros.]] with a [[battle royale game|battle royale]] theme, saying its a "fun twist" on the original game.

When first starting the game, players only have 1-1 of the game unlocked, and gradually unlock more throughout gameplay, accessing more levels. Fans of the game find this portion of the game to be stale, how players have to constantly play through the first level, due to beginners only having the first level to use.<ref name=ign/> Players can start a match with a power-up for a coin price, which they earn from playing rounds. Players critique this due to the prices being cheap, which barely costs much after the players collected a lot of coins.

Super Mario Bros. 35 is an online competitive 2D platformer with battle royale elements. It is developed by Arika and published by Nintendo. It was released exclusively on Nintendo Switch as a free download for members of the Nintendo Switch Online service on October 1, 2020. The game will be playable until March 31, 2021.[1][2] The game was created to celebrate the 35th anniversary of Super Mario Bros..

Gameplay

The game depicts the platforming levels from Super Mario Bros. with additional enemies sent by online opponents.

In Super Mario Bros. 35, up to 35 players simultaneously play through separate platforming levels from the original Super Mario Bros., collecting coins and defeating enemies, while also trying to survive the longest, with the last player still alive winning the match.[3] There are also limited time events, with the name Special Battle, which players compete in a set list of courses and set conditions, such as starting with a power-up or with more time on the in-game timer.[4]

File:Super Mario Bros. 35 Item Roulette.jpeg
After spending 20 collected coins on the Item Roulette, the player may receive an invincibility star.

Instead of a per level time limit as in Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 35 features an overall time limit, with players starting with 35 seconds and earning extra time by defeating enemies and completing levels. Enemies defeated by players are sent to opponents in real-time, appearing in their levels as an additional hindrance to the player. Similar to Tetris 99, players can either manually target their opponents or choose from four types of opponents to attack: players with the most coins collected, players with the least amount of time remaining, players who attack the player themselves, or simply random players.[5]

Along with collecting coins as they play through a level, players can earn a bounty of coins if they knock out any opponents during a match. Collecting 20 coins in a match allows players to spin an Item Roulette that gifts players a random power-up such as super mushrooms, invincibility stars, fire flowers, or POW blocks. Outside of matches players also earn coins based on their placing, all which can be used to power-up Mario before starting each match. Players can also practice any level that they have cleared in the main game mode and review statistics such as matches won, their highest placement, total levels cleared and the number of each type of enemy defeated. Players also level up through play, which unlocks icons that they can use to represent themselves on leaderboards.[citation needed]

Development

The game was developed by Arika. Development began before the release of Arika's previous game, Tetris 99, in February 2019.[6] Super Mario Bros. 35 was announced on September 3, 2020, as part of the Super Mario Bros. 35th Anniversary.[7] The game released on October 1 for free for Nintendo Switch Online members, and is to be discontinued on March 31, 2021.[8] Following the game's announcement, similarities were made between Super Mario Bros. 35 and Super Mario Royale, a fan project by InfernoPlus which Nintendo demanded to be removed online.[9] Arika disputed the claim, stating that it was in development before Super Mario Royale.[6]

Reception

Super Mario Bros. 35 received "generally favorable reviews", according to review aggregator Metacritic.[10] Kotaku's Ethan Gach appreciated the concept but felt that the "novelty doesn't last long".[16]

Players have been accused of hacking, getting 99,999 coins in a single round, and being able to have an easy supply to power-ups and topping the leaderboards. Nintendo started to take action by removing any videos created that were suspected for hacking.[17][18]
