If you are looking for a good value game package and dose of nostalgia definitely pick this up.
A remastered version Super Mario 64 (Nintendo 64), Super Mario Sunshine (GameCube) and Super Mario Galaxy (Wii) are included. You can even use joycons as a substitute for the Wii remotes in Galaxy if you wish.
While some of the games have aged noticably (Mario 64) they look great for what they are; pixel perfect and sharp renditions of classic 3D Mario games. Much nicer than playing the originals on a modern tv, which would look like blurry messes without spending a fortune modding out your old consoles.
Mario Galaxy is the stand out game of this trilogy and that is mostly because it is the newest, with the most modern controls, graphical textures and interesting space theme which let the developers get creative with ideas for levels.
Sunshine is a decent Mario game and perhaps the most forgotten out of all the 3D Mario games, so it is great that it got a second life through this compilation. The tropical island themed worlds and music are always fun to experience and it has an interesting water shooting and jetpack mechanic which you will need to use in conjunction with traditional platforming.
Mario 64 is Mario 64. If you have not played Mario's first 3D game you should absolutely give it a shot. I always enjoyed how the hub world was a castle and you jump into paintings which were all very different worlds such as an a sunken ship, haunted house and volcano. Controls and graphics have aged the most on this title, but remember the era it came from and enjoy it for what it is.
A lot of people argue that they should have included Super Mario Galaxy 2 and I do agree with this.
However we got the product that we did and I'm rating based on it's merits, not of what it could have been.
Some will complain about other things like Mario 64's aged controls, or Sunshines later stages absolutely nail biting difficulty, but they are remasters, not remakes. The games are presented how they always have been, but to look nicer on modern tvs.
This compilation is an excellent value set of games to keep you busy, relive your gaming past or even show your kids or younger siblings the Mario games you grew up with. As it was a limited release this game will only get harder to find as time goes on, so recommend buying now before it gets too difficult.

No game in the case!
I received Super Mario 3D All Stars for my switch today that I had pre-ordered, only to find there was no game in the case!There was no plastic around the casing (which is on all new DVDs and game cases) and there was also dirt in the case (circled in images). Pretty sure one of your workers stole the game inside, as there was dirt in it, which is very disappointing.I'm very lucky to be getting a replacement, but this shouldn't be happening in the first place. If you want to get this game, go get it from JB-Hi-Fi or EB Games instead to avoid what happened to me!
