Dark Days on Isle Delfino!
When Mario arrives on tropical Isle Delfino, the once-pristine island is polluted and plastered with graffiti. Even worse, he's being blamed for the mess! Now instead of enjoying a relaxing vacation, Mario has to clean up the place and track down the real culprit.
Key Features:
- Mario's new multipurpose water pack, FLUDD, lets him spray goop away and hover over danger. It even has Rocket and Turbo nozzles!
- Scale soaring cliffs, wall-jump up perilous passageways and even tiptoe along tightropes as you tour the island Mario-style!
- Yoshis are back! When Maria feeds the hungry dinos fruit, they'll help him jolt tropical troublemakers with juice!
- Armed with FLUDD, Mario will battle all sorts of big, bod bosses, including goop-spewing Piranha Plants!

Already have the original and the version on 3D All Stars, but maybe this'll be handy for using save states at some of the more annoying parts. Haven't played it in a little while, so looking forward to going through it again.
cool, i wont have to insert the cartridge anymore. hope eternal darkness and star fox adventures next or soon
After playing Star Fox Remake, I actually want Star Fox Assault now.
August was quite predictable given it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere. It also launched in August in North America back in the day after a July Japanese release.
Glad more people can play it without 3D All-Stars and have the features NSO brings.
Wow! That’s great news. :) Definitely one of my most hotly anticipated additions.
Also… rated T?!
Nintendo made Yoshi puke everywhere. People needed to be warned the worst 3D Mario game. (not a bad game at all, just the worst 3D Mario)
yeah it really is. playing it on 3D All-Stars for the first time since the GC days I was surprised by how frustrating and annoying parts of the game are. Just some bad balance and bad game design decisions made, game coulda been close to the level of other 3D Mario's if those things had been worked on and fixed, but as is it's a good game but clearly a lower quality rung than all the other Mario games.
Don't want to spoil the game, but there's a mixed bathing scene.
Very good. I've just recently bought the GC pad for Nintendo Online :D
