Super Mario Galaxy: Rare Luigi Dialogue Discovered in Switch’s Super Mario 3D All-Stars

Seventeen years after its original 2007 launch on the Nintendo Wii, Super Mario Galaxy remains one of the most revered entries in the 3D Mario series.

Developed and published by Nintendo, Super Mario Galaxy helped redefine platforming mechanics with its inventive gravity-based gameplay, earning both critical acclaim and commercial success globally.

The game's enduring legacy was solidified with its remastered inclusion in the Super Mario 3D All-Stars compilation for the Nintendo Switch in 2020, allowing a new generation of players to experience its innovative design. Recently, a hidden gem has surfaced in Super Mario Galaxy, garnering attention within the Nintendo community.

Modder SPG64, as highlighted by Gaming Reinvented, has discovered that players who complete one of the game’s Luigi Rescue Missions—specifically in the Good Egg Galaxy, Battlerock Galaxy, or Honeyhive Galaxy—can trigger an ultra-rare line of dialogue from Luigi.

This Easter egg is only activated if the player manages to defeat the mission objective but then loses a life before collecting the appearing Power Star. Upon reviving, Luigi briefly admonishes Mario for his untimely demise, humorously noting the minor inconvenience of death in the gaming world before urging Mario to gather the Power Star.

This rarely-seen moment offers a unique glimpse into Luigi's personality and adds a layer of charm for dedicated fans interested in Super Mario Galaxy's hidden content.

According to modding sources, this line only appears in all three rescue missions after initially freeing Luigi in the Ghostly Galaxy, making it exceedingly uncommon unless one intentionally repeats the sequence. For fans eager to experience this tucked-away content on modern hardware, Super Mario Galaxy is accessible via the Nintendo Switch as part of the Super Mario 3D All-Stars bundle.

This collection, which also includes Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine, was released in 2020 to commemorate Mario’s 35th anniversary.

Notably, Nintendo only made Super Mario 3D All-Stars available for a limited time on the eShop, and the digital edition is no longer for sale.

Physical copies, while still circulating in secondary markets, have become sought after by collectors and dedicated Mario enthusiasts. The unearthing of rare dialogue such as Luigi’s special lines continues to fuel the passion of the Nintendo and broader gaming community.

Players who still have access to Super Mario 3D All-Stars on the Nintendo Switch are encouraged to attempt this hidden event and share their discoveries.

This Easter egg stands as a testament to the depth and lasting appeal of Nintendo’s iconic 3D platformers, underscoring Super Mario Galaxy’s perennial status as a must-play classic.
