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.

Gameplay

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]

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 30 seconds and earning extra time by defeating enemies and completing levels. Enemies defeated by players are sent to opponents, 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.[4]

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 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.

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.[5] Although the game features levels from Super Mario Bros., the game does not use software emulation of the original game.[5]
