    Galaxy 2 on Switch includes the same additions as the first game. It introduces Assist Mode to give newcomers a leg up, and if you're playing co-op, Player Two can use the mouse controls on Switch 2. It also suffers from the same quirks: the gyro controls, although perfectly serviceable, never feel quite as good as the original Wii controls, though some of the camera issues in the original perhaps aren’t quite as prevalent here...Overall? Galaxy 2 is 3D Mario at its peak, and it’s a must-play.

    Super Mario Galaxy 2 is on my shortlist for platforming recommendations: not just within the Mario series, but the genre itself.

    Super Mario Galaxy 2 heralds the return of the Nintendo Wii's best game, improved to a dazzling starry shine on the Nintendo Switch 2 platform.
