Super Mario Bros. 35 was a 2020 online multiplayer platform game with battle royale elements. Developed by Arika and published by Nintendo, the game was part of the celebration of the 35th anniversary of Super Mario Bros. in 2020. It was released on the Nintendo Switch as a free downloadable game for members of the Nintendo Switch Online service on October 1, 2020. Its servers were shut down on April 1, 2021, following the official end of the anniversary. The game was similar in concept to Tetris 99.
The game featured the classic platforming of Super Mario Bros., with the addition of 35 players competing in real-time in a battle royale format. Enemies that the player defeated were sent to other opponents using one of four targeting options. The game featured power-ups that could be obtained by spending collected coins on an "item roulette" and a timer that was extended by defeating enemies and completing levels. Super Mario Bros. 35 received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised the game's unique concept of combining Super Mario Bros. with battle royale gameplay and innovation, while criticizing the game's repetition and simplicity.
