Super Mario Bros. 35 is an online competitive 2D platformer with battle royale elements, much in the style of Tetris 99. It is developed by Arika and published by Nintendo and 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., alongside products such as Super Mario 3D All-Stars and Mario Kart: Home Circuit.

Gameplay

Level 1-2 of Super Mario Bros., but swarmed by enemies sent by an opponent.

Thirty-five 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's also limited time events, Special Battle, which players compete in a set list of courses.[4]

A player spent 20 collected coins on the Item Roulette, and received 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]

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. In addition, outside of matches players earn coins based on their placing and if they knocked out any opponents, 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.

The menu has a course practice mode, allowing players to play through the levels they unlocked through practice. The stats menu give statistics on criteria in the game, and options allows controller bind changes. Players can also change their icon when more are unlocked.

Development

The game was developed by Arika, who also developed Tetris 99 which features similar gameplay mechanics. The game started development before the release of Tetris 99 in February 2019.[6] Although the game features levels from Super Mario Bros., the game does not use software emulation of the original game.[6]

Super Mario Bros. 35 was announced on September 3rd, 2020, in the Super Mario Bros. 35th Anniversary, but could have possibly been announced as soon as early 2020, but was delayed due to the 2019-2020 COVID-19 pandemic. The game released on October 1st.[7]

Reception

Super Mario Bros. 35 received "generally favorable reviews", according to review aggregator Metacritic.

Some pointed out that the game's concept had been previously implemented in a 2019 fan project created by user InfernoPlus, which was taken down by Nintendo on copyright grounds.[13] The claim has been disputed by Nintendo, stating the game has been in development before Tetris 99 and the debut of fan projects.[6] Some fans of the Mario franchise further expressed disappointment with the fact that the game will be discontinued on March 31, 2021, while others believe it will stay up despite the announcement, much similar to the Jump Rope Challenge.[14][15]

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, one notable being Super Mario Bros. 35 Online hacking Part 2.[16][17][18]
