List of Super Mario games
The following Super Mario games are available on Super Nintendo Entertainment System - Nintendo Switch Online. Titles written in bold are special (SP) versions of existing games.
| Game | In-app details | Initial release date |
|---|---|---|
 Super Mario Kart |
Select one of eight characters from the Mario series—offering a variety of driving styles—and take on three championship cups in three different kart classes. Win enough, and you'll unlock a fourth circuit: the ultra-tough Special Cup. Crossing the finish line in first place isn't an easy task, though, as each track has unique obstacles to conquer and racers can obtain special power-ups that boost them to victory. For a different kind of challenge, take on a friend in multiplayer races or go head-to-head in the Battle Mode arena of your choosing, where the object is to pop your opponent's balloons before you lose your own. With more than 15 tracks to master and nearly endless replay value, Super Mario Kart is classic gaming…with some banana peels thrown in for good measure! | Available at launch |
 Super Mario World |
During a vacation in Dinosaur Land, Princess Toadstool gets kidnapped and a spell is cast on the inhabitants of the island. When they stumble upon Yoshi, Mario and Luigi learn that Bowser is responsible for the terrible misdeeds. Now, Yoshis are trapped in magical eggs that Bowser has hidden throughout seven castles. Many hidden paths aid Mario in making his way to Bowser's castle, completing 74 areas, and finding all 96 exits. Discover items, including a feather that gives Mario a cape, allowing him to fly, and a flower that lets him shoot fireballs, in layer upon layer of 2D scrolling landscape. You can even ride Yoshi and swallow your enemies! | |
 Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island |
Yoshi is back, baby! And he's ready to romp through a crayon-colored world where enemies are everywhere. Prepare to flutter-jump and toss eggs to protect young Mario from Kamek, the evil Magikoopa. To save the day, Yoshi and his pals will have to morph into vehicles and even eat their enemies to turn them into eggs! Umm… Yum?
Play as Yoshi, carrying a young Mario through enormous, colorful worlds back to his parents in the Mushroom Kingdom. Kamek's goons are constantly in pursuit, so stay alert and watch out for the Magikoopa's devious traps. Throw eggs, gobble up enemies, solve puzzles, and even transform into wild vehicles like a helicopter, a submarine, and a mole tank. Is Yoshi up to the momentous task? The fates of Yoshi, Mario, and the future of the Mushroom Kingdom are in your hands. Ground-pound, flutter jump, and morph your way to victory! | |
 Donkey Kong Country |
After a dark and stormy night, Donkey Kong finds all of his bananas stolen by K. Rool and his reptilian crew of Kremlings!

Play solo, compete with a friend, or play cooperatively in over 100 levels filled with collectibles and hidden bonus levels. With the help of Donkey Kong's quirky family, animal friends, and your fast reflexes, our dynamic duo will prove to be an unstoppable force. Time to save those bananas! | July 15, 2020 |

 Mario's Super Picross |
Use the horizontal and vertical numbers as clues and chisel away the squares to reveal picture after picture.
This puzzle game was released for the Super Famicom system in 1995—and has never been translated into English. Its puzzles ask the player to use numbers marking the rows and columns of a grid in order to uncover each solution and bring a hidden image to the surface. In addition to the normal play mode, there is also Wario's Super Picross, which has a set of difficult puzzles to tackle. But you don't have to play alone! You can get a friend in on the excavation by simply connecting a second controller. Two chisels are better than one, they say! | |
 Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! |
Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong have gone missing! As Dixie Kong checks in with the rest of the family, she gets stuck with babysitting duties! But that won't stop her from going on her next adventure!
Play as Dixie Kong or Kiddy Kong solo, against a friend, or with a friend! Take advantage of each of their unique abilities as they throw each other into action in over 40 levels. There are plenty of collectibles—including Bear Coins, which grant access to the services of the Brothers Bear, and Banana Birds, which Wrinkly Kong has a deep fondness for. You can also call on Funky Kong to build some wild vehicles for you to try to get to places that seem far out of reach. Not to mention there are animal friends to fight at your side! The final showdown takes place in a cliff-top laboratory at the End of the World. Things could get seriously ugly, so you'd better be ready! |

Take a trip down Rainbow Road at 150cc speeds!
In this special version, all cups and all courses are playable. You can also choose to race at the 150cc level. It's a full-service pit stop offering every single track—and it's buffet-style! You can start your engines wherever feels right and enjoy each course as much or as little as you want. |

 Super Mario World: Give the world a whole new look! |
Now you can see what lies beyond the Special World!
In the Super Mario World game, the look of the world helps give the game its atmosphere. This special version gives that look a twist. Once you clear the Special World and arrive back in Dinosaur Land, you'll notice things are a little different from how you remember them… Why not start a fresh adventure to see what this strange world has in store? |

 Wrecking Crew '98 |
Two games in one Mario puzzler!
This action puzzler was released only in Japan via the Nintendo Power rewritable game system in 1998—and then again for the Super Famicom system proper. In this title, you can play either the original Wrecking Crew game from the Famicom, or you can play Wrecking Crew '98, the updated Super Famicom version. In Wrecking Crew, you control Mario and must dodge enemy attacks as you destroy walls and ladders. Once you wreck it all, you've cleared the stage. There are 100 stages in all! Wrecking Crew '98, on the other hand, is a competition. Destroy and arrange panels to line up matching colors. Line up three or more, and they will be cleared. By clearing four or more panels, you can even launch an attack on your opponent based on the color of the panels. The more panels you clear at once, the more powerful your attack! If your opponent crosses the line at the top for longer than three seconds, victory is yours! |
April 12, 2024[12][a 1] |
