Anyone know?

Are there any differences in performance or anything?

Can you take a save file from All Stars' Galaxy and continue it in the new one?

Apparently not, as I saw someone on the Switch 2 board complaining that it only supports motion controls, whereas the 3D All-Stars version let you disable them.

No, it has improved textures, resolution, and performance compared to the Wii and 3D All Stars versions. It's generally already considered the definitive versions, with the only seemingly negative thing compared to Wii is the pointing doesn't feel the same as the IR sensor:

With enhanced resolution (1080p on Nintendo Switch/4K* on Nintendo Switch 2), improved UI, extra Storybook Chapters, a new Assist Mode, and more, Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 are now out of this world!

I don't know if I want to buy both since I have Galaxy from the collection already. Is the increased resolution worth double dipping?
How quaint.

Probably not for another $30 or $40.

I bought just SMG2, it's fantastic. The enhanced visuals are nice, and pointing is basically the same with a pro controller. Oddly it seems to work worse with a single joycon, for 2 player mode at least.

Wow...
So it's actually a worse version then.
Don't get me wrong, the motion controls in Galaxy are fine, but removing the option to disable is a bad call

Forgive me for asking, I haven't played Galaxy in forever, but isn't shooting the star bits kind of a required game mechanic and don't you shoot them by pointing? How does that work without motion controls?

I'm thinking about picking up the collection just to see if my kids will like it. Oh, and I never did beat Galaxy 2 back in the day so I have some unfinished business there.

Damn. My interest just plummeted to 0

I didn't mind during the wii era because I was a good 15 years younger and was able to handle motion controls etc, but I'm too old for that stuff now.

That post is not true though. In All Stars, you were able to set the spin attack to Y, which you can still do in the newest version. Also, in All Stars, handheld mode was awful because you had to use touch controls for the menus and the cursor, the right stick could NOT be used. In the newest version you can use the left stick to maneuver through the menus and gyro while in handheld mode.

So this version is definitely improved. The biggest reason I never played Galaxy in All Stars was the touch controls, cuz I rarely play the switch docked.

Also, come on maaaaaaan. You're not too old! You're never too old!

Hehe that's sweet. Spin attack probably wouldn't be much of an issue for me, I was mainly thinking of the hamster ball levels when I read that post, since I definitely do not have the wrist capability anymore to handle those levels.

it's wild that nintendo got away with remastering a remaster only a few years after the first remaster came out

and sony gets dragged through the mud anytime they even mention the last of us
