    It can be difficult to have a sequel live up to the hype of the original, but Galaxy 2 was able to push everything even further.

    Super Mario Galaxy 2 is my favorite game of all time.
    Is it the objectively best game of all time? Probably not, that title probably goes to Zelda Tears of the Kingdom.
    But Galaxy 2 is still absolutely amazing. Music is 10/10, gameplay is 8/10. The only thing that's lacking is the story, but the music and gameplay makes up for it.

    This game is a step up from galaxy 1. I know the story is almost the same but who cares about that? There are way better levels in this game and was way funner than galaxy 1. Im about to 100% it but i cant beat perfect run, its just so hard and i love it. There are a lot of cool power ups, World map and more!

The music is also fantastic and the ideas and concepts with the powerups make every galaxy unique and outstanding, there is no filler, and there is so much time that can be applied to this game from the hundreds of stars in the game. Boss fights are also incredible as well, but I can go on for hours about the level design. The gameplay doesn't offer as many mechanics compared to all the other 3d mario games (ofc excluding galaxy 1) but this enhances the level design, so you can experience them with multiple items rather than rushing through the game, though it wouldn't be since people would still be mesmerized after looking at the galaxies. Still, mario's movement is still great overall. There really aren't any issues with this game that I found except that people could find it slow or long, but I enjoyed the experience the whole way through so it wasn't a problem to me.… Expand

    Everything said about the first game applies to this one too, apart from the story which is waaaay better on the first one. I'll just say that I slighlty enjoyed this game more than the first one because it offered a pretty good challenge, some levels were really difficult. The post game is also way better on this one

    This game is too much similar to its prequel. They only added some new transformations and Yoshi. The gameplay is really easy and the levels are too short, causing an useless train that is necessary for the least galaxy (it requested me one month only to complete that). So the game is a forced sequel of Mario Galaxy 1, even if there are some good ideas.

    Super Mario Galaxy 2 is by far one of the best platformers ever made. No one could have imagined that a sequel could beat the original in every possible way. Don't get me wrong, the original Super Mario Galaxy was amazing, but this one is even better. If you like platformers, you need to try this game!

    While not as good as Super Mario Galaxy 1, it still manages to bring new things to the table while keeping it interesting. The levels are better than Mario Galaxy 1, but I would say that they are not quite as iconic. And the store of Rosalina makes it hard for Galaxy 2 to surpass.

    There's a lot that it improves from Galaxy 1, but overall this is basically just 'more super mario galaxy'. There are new ideas, new mechanics, new levels. Sometimes it exceeds the heights of its predecessor, but its not nearly as innovative as Galaxy 1 overall.

    Worlds 1-5 are amazing! Some of the best levels the Mario franchise as to offer. However, some demon working at Nintendo decided to set the final boss number to 70 rather than 65, causing me to have to replay levels I had already played to find hidden stars. The best part of the game is Yoshi and I wish he was in more levels. It's a really great game, probably the best first party Wii game.

With that out of the way I want to say that the levels are sometimes better than 1 as well as the levels being more plentiful. Lastly the multiplayer is better too as you couldn't do much with player 2 in galaxy 1. On it's own as a mario game, it's one of the best in the series.

    Super Mario Galaxy 2 takes Super Mario Galaxy 1 and expands upon it much better without taking away or changing anything that made the first game unique, while also adding much more stuff that still held the charm the first game had.

    Mario Galaxy 2 es casi un calco que su anterior entrega, pero es tan bueno que nunca se siente repetitivo de ella, por eso es que ambos juegos me resultaron casi similares a la hora de juzgarlos y calificarlos. Lo único que hace que me haya gustado un poco más el 2 es la inclusión de Yoshi y Luigi como jugables, que lo vuelve más divertido. Lo flojo: historia 100% reciclada.

    Good

    - the drill item is fun to use - yoshi is so fun to use. - the visual, level, obstacle, enemy, and platforming design was incredibly creative. - I like how the devs transitioned the pink moving platformers into 3D - star ball stages are fun - the platform flip using the spin attack was creative and fun. - leading bomb-omb to blow up the glass ball was creative    Good

    - star ball stages are fun

    - the platform flip using the spin attack was creative and fun.

    - leading bomb-omb to blow up the glass ball was creative

    - more creative gravity levels

    - instead of just collecting coins for a star. Galaxy 2 has you to collect stars then a new planet is born, where there’s a bit of extra gameplay for you to collect the star.

    Bad

    - I prefer the hub world in galaxy 1, cause it felt like a home, and going into different rooms to enter levels. The classic hub world layout in galaxy 2 feels too concrete and boring.

    - the game is brain dead easy. Only thing that kept me going through the levels was the amusing, creative platforming. And the unique level, enemy, and obstacle designs.

    - Where’s Rosalina? I connected a lot with her in the first game from her life story in her story book. Now she’s nowhere in galaxy 2?    … Expand

    For a 3D platformer, this is ground-breaking, gameplay mechanics are great, environment looks spectacular, and the level design is fantastic, but it gets a little bit repetitive after a while, and some boss fights are underwhelming.

    Best game on Wii no doubt, you have to play galaxy 1 to get the full experience and vice versa tho.

    it is simply a great game has a great soundtrack, a very good and entertaining gameplay and a lot of creativity behind each of the levels. It is a very good game and even if it does not have a very deep story or plot, I am almost sure you will have a great time and I know that I will be one of your favorites.

    Not bad, but far, far from perfect. Around halfway or 2/3 through, the game gets a lot grindier than the previous half.

I sometimes hear people talk about how they dislike the linear world map which pretty much forces you to play every level as opposed to Galaxy 1 which gives you a few levels, and depending on how much stars you have, let’s you play whatever levels you like. I personally have no problem with the world map in Galaxy 2 as it works kind of the same way, you pick a level, pick a star (or find a secret one), then play. You have all the right to skip levels in some areas, but I guess I understand why people don’t like it. I have no problem with it as you sometimes have to play more of this amazing game, and while that doesn’t sound as fun, again, it makes up for it with the soundtrack and, in some cases, amazing level design and idea. Overall I feel like this game is amazingly BAD at being bad, seriously, really the only time I ever regretted playing this game was when I was playing “The Perfect Run”, which is entirely optional, I just wanted to 100% complete this game as I’ve had it for almost a decade, and I really recommend you do too!… Expand

    This is a great game, but because of all the Mario games of that era, being Galaxy, 3D Land and 3D World, it just feels generic.

    This game is a blast. The game sets itself apart from its predecessor by focusing less on the story and more on deepening the gameplay.

Even in 2021 I have a blast playing it with great physics and even visuals that doesn't look half bad even with todays standards. And even though everything is so good up to this point the best is yet to come. The music. There is no such feeling as running around on a small and interesting planet while an epic orchestra is blasting and cheering you on. For every bombastic piece there is a quiet and more toned down ballad at some other point and it turns this game into a emotional rollercoaster - in a good way… Expand

    This is the second greatest Mario game of all time, and it's basically a tie. Everything in this game is (still) perfect. The visuals, the music, YOSHI, it's just amazing.

    Leggermente più bello del primo Mario Galaxy. Il secondo gioco della serie Galaxy è più difficile e porta nuovi power up interessanti come il cappello Nuvola e il ritorno di Yoshi nella serie 3D, rimasto indietro ai tempi del lontano Sunshine. Che dire, un ottimo gioco come il primo, ma che non raggiunge per un pelo il 10, in ogni caso un altro grande Mario 3D da giocare.

    With the game being a sequel to Mario Galaxy, it is a no brainier that this is a timeless masterpiece that deserves the praise it gets for being an initiative, creative, and fun game.

    While Super Mario Galaxy 2 could easily have been a cheap cash-in with a few lackluster additional levels, it manages to be something more. It expands on the gameplay of Super Mario Galaxy and adds enough new twists and turns to feel like a full-fledged sequel.

    Super Mario Galaxy 2 is largely more of the same, and that helps make it a phenomenal experience. Nintendo didn't reinvent the formula. Instead, it took what fans loved about the prequel and then jazzed everything up with never before seen galaxies, planets and a more streamlined user interface.
