It’s been another action-packed week for Nintendo, and on top of all the Partner Showcase announcements it’s also been rolling out a bunch of new updates for select first-party titles.
Earlier this week, Switch and Switch 2 players got new updates for Splatoon 3, Super Mario Party Jamboree and Drag x Drive, and today Nintendo has now released an update for Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2.
This bumps the games up to Version 1.3.1 and follows the release of Version 1.3.0 in December last year. Nintendo’s latest patch notes don’t go into any specific details, but it does not how “no in-game content has been changed”. If anything else about these latest game updates are discovered, we’ll be sure to let you know.
For now, here’s the full rundown, courtesy of Nintendo’s official support page:
Super Mario Galaxy: Ver. 1.3.1 (Released 5th February 2026)

Software information has been updated. No in-game content has been changed.
Note: The software must be updated to Ver. 1.2.0 or later to play on Nintendo Switch 2.
Super Mario Galaxy 2: Ver. 1.3.1 (Released 5th February 2026)
