Super Mario 3D All-Stars Controller Support Now Includes the GameCube Controller

There are more Super Mario 3D All-Stars controller support options! People who update the game to 1.1.0 will have another classic controller they can turn to in Super Mario Sunshine. Now, the GameCube controller works with the game if you are playing it on a standard Nintendo Switch. Also, all games now have inverted camera control options.

Here’s how it all comes together. First, you download the Super Mario 3D All-Stars controller support patch. Then, you get out a GameCube controller and a Controller Adapter.

After that, you start up Super Mario Sunshine in the collection.
