    This game should be a Nintendo Selects. The 3D is less dizzying and the main theme is majestic. Super Mario 2 is one of the best games for Wii, and this game should really deserve a sequel in the Nintendo NX.

And although I did get both games later, I never regret the decision of buying SMG2 that day. Fast forward seven years and I'm still playing this game and enjoying it like it's my first time. And it's right below SMG (which is my favorite game).

    Super Mario Galaxy 2 (SMG2 for short) did everything the first game perfected and somehow made it better. It took all the smooth platforming, the spin, the planets and gravity and galaxies and added more unique aspects like the flip switches, Rock Mario and Cloud Mario, new and creative enemies and new enemy AI, and best of all Yoshi. Yoshi would regularly feel like a buff to Mario due to his increase flutter jump, ability to take out enemies at a range and 1ups from eating fruits, but his vulnerable and slightly uncontrollable nature seem to keep the game's difficulty the same as with Mario.

    The game does have flaws, such as the dumb enemy AI sometimes and glitches of coins through the floor and whatnot, but the most notable are the new cosmic clones that are creative, but just poorly executed and don't feel right in some areas. Sometimes they're pointless, other times they make the game too hard. But the major complaint with them is the fact that there is no point to cosmic clones apart from creating an effect that we can't just go back and try again.

    Overall, this game is 10/10 no doubt.

    Galaxy 2 improves in many ways from its majestic predecessor.

Unlocking the Green Star challenge adds so much more to the game by making you collect all 120 green stars scattered across the universe. But like every game, SMG 2 has its flaws. The story isn't as developed as the one of the first game. In terms of mechanics, it adds nothing. And the final boss was just way too easy despite its epic atmosphere. But this flaws barely even affect Mario's greatest adventure. It's a very enjoyable experience every Mario fan must experience. But let me remark one thing: Super Mario Galaxy 2 was the end of Mario's legendary games, and started the franchise's downfall. Expand

    A fantastic expansion on one of the greatest games of all times, which is less atmospheric and faithful to the space theme, but contains a wider variety of levels, powerups, and challenges to complete after finishing the main game. This game would really benefit from a switch port, considering how well galaxy controlled on 3D All Stars.

    This is not only my all time favourite Mario game, but it's also objectively the best Mario game ever made by Nintendo.

    TBH this game is absolutely FLAWLESS. Graphics are good, it's hard to believe that this game is in 480p(HQ) instead of 1080p(HD) when you see how beautiful it is. The ost is the best thing I have ever listened to since I played Mario games. It is a complete orchestra

    TBH this game is absolutely FLAWLESS. Graphics are good, it's hard to believe that this game is in 480p(HQ) instead of 1080p(HD) when you see how beautiful it is. The ost is the best thing I have ever listened to since I played Mario games. It is a complete orchestra that tries to fit the music to the ambiance, the music in the sequel is a lot better than the one in the prequel, that isn't saying much since Mario Galaxy 1 already had an excellent ost.

    The level design is like Mario Galaxy 1, but improved. It was innovative as heck, even though this game is not as innovative as MG1 since it's literally the same system as Mario Galaxy 1 it still has an improved level design nonetheless. Mario Galaxy 2 uses different planets on which you can do things before letting you get through with the gravity gimmick that is well thought for many circumstances. There are even more levels that plays with the gravity, the likes of the house level that suddently changes its gravity depending on what you do and where you go.

    You have completed the game? No problem, it's time for you to beat some comets and the world s which are what made the game hard and more frustrating. This game unlike the newer Mario games challenges you and I'm always ready for challenges.

    This game is not perfect either, it has two flaws (yes I said that it was flawless, now quiet): 1. The story is the same like 95% of the Mario games unfortunately, with an inch of difference, but in the end it's still the old "Go save the princess lul". 2. The camera is crappy. Note that despite these two flaws, the game is just too great to get a 9/10. Maybe we can also add that it uses the **** quick escape block from New Super Mario Bros Wii, but instead of the block, it's Rosalina the one that helps you (She doesn't help you if you're trying to beat a comet though).

    It is also very unfortunately the last good Mario game made by Nintendo. Buy it before it becomes unavailable, buy this masterpiece it is worth it.

    EDIT: Some people judged this game to be bad because it is a "copypasta" of Mario Galaxy 1. Mario Galaxy 2 is still great, imagine MG1, but with an improved level design, more challenges and a better ost.

    It was one of the best wii games I've played. The graphics were great at the time, they are terrible now, it is a nice throwback to 1996 and 2007, mostly for Throwback Galaxy. It had a lot more levels but unlike SMG1 it had more stuff to do, especially in the hub planet.

It's still incredible! Gameplay is sharp as always and the music alone deserves an award, visuals are colourful and vibrant, and have aged well despite being a fairly old game on 15 year old hardware. The cartoony shiny graphics and Mario's goofy face will bring a smile to the face of just about anyone with a semblance of soul.
    The few changes to the gameplay include a few new powerups (the rock mushroom, cloud flower, and ghost mushroom), while removing the ice flower from the previous game along with one elusive end game bonus. The biggest additions, however, would be Luigi being made available halfway through the game and selectable from the hub world, and YOSHI, who is a joy to play as and comes with his own set of powerups and mechanics.
    The downsides that make this game maybe a 0.1 point worse than the original for me are a massive reduction of the story, hub world, and level complexity. If you were hoping for another Little Prince-esque adventure like the original, prepare to be let down as all you're getting is the basic mario plot and a fat floating Patrick Star. The hub world, rather than being a massive flying castle is now just a small starship shaped like Mario's face (no I'm not lying) which, while more packed and compact, feels less epic. An upside however is that the new more barebones map screen makes it easier to just jump in and play the game. Lastly the levels, while just as good, are much shorter and less sprawling
    In conclusion, Mario Galaxy 2 is still an absolute masterpiece and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone owning a Wii

    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.

    Super Mario Galaxy 2 is surprisingly even more polished and better designed than its superb predecessor. This was clearly a work of love done by people that really comprehend what makes action platformers, and Mario games in particular, so fascinating to play. The game is fun and exciting from the beginning to the end, progressing at a breezy pacing, with some fast paced levels and none too slow paced or too difficult. It even has an easy-to-navigate map that, like in the 2D classics, lets you fly right into the next level, giving it a more addictive non-stop action feel, when compared to past 3D Mario games, by focusing on what's important: stomping goombas and going through the extremely engaging levels.

    VISUALS ( 10 out of 10 )
    Best graphics of any game for the Wii.

    SOUND ( 10 out of 10 )
    Amazing and wide-ranging soundtrack that skilfully mixes old tunes with new compositions and always fits the action perfectly.

    VALUE ( 10 out of 10 )
    The amount of variety in Galaxy 2 is astounding – more so than in any other action platformer that came before it. Every level has its own unique gameplay mechanics and activities, all very fun and none feels made in a hurry, so you never know what novelties come next and they never stop coming. Even the power-ups are more and better used than ever in this game, being Yoshi the most noteworthy of them all. There are 242 stars to collect, most of them challenging enough to satisfy even the most skilled gamers, providing some of the most gratifying moments you can have in a video-game.

    FINAL SCORE ( 10 out of 10 )
    In my opinion, Galaxy 2 is the most fun, inventive, varied, beautiful and absorbing Action Platformer of all time. The concept behind the creation of Galaxy 2 is an extension of the first Galaxy's concept, so it can't possibly have the same impact. But what makes Galaxy 2 so great and what will keep you coming back, even after you've collected every star, is the expertly designed levels, with an incredible amount of variety, a constantly changing pace due to excellent mix of 3D and 2D gameplay and the great number of different power-ups, mechanics and activities, all smartly placed, delightful and interesting, level after level after level after level… leaving you breathless and full of joy!

    Esse jogo é tão incrível quanto o primeiro Super Mario Galaxy

    Infelizmente, esse jogo não possui um história tão épica quanto o primeiro e por ter sido lançado como uma continuação, isso quebrou um pouco minha expectativa em relação à história e pelo jogo ter sido lançado depois, o jogo gerou muito menos impacto do que o primeiro.
    Porém, o jogo expandiu as possibilidades de novos planetas chegando ao limite da criatividade e da fantasia, superando o level design do primeiro Super Mario Galaxy, além de uma ADMIRÁVEL E BELÍSSIMA TRILHA SONORA, tão boa quanto o game.
    Eu acho que o primeiro Super Mario Galaxy é melhor que o segundo, mas não subestime esse jogo, esse game tem seus próprios méritos e merecer ser jogado.

    (Recomendo começar com o Super Mario Galaxy e depois jogar o segundo jogo, para entender um pouco melhor a ideia do jogo)

    SE VOCÊ ADQUIRIR ESSE JOGO, JOGUE E ZERE!!!!
    E JOGUE OS DOIS JOGOS DA SÉRIE!!!!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Super Mario Galaxy 2 is one of the Wii's amazing masterpieces. Starting off, the story is kind of like the first one. Starts off casual, go through the first screens then BOOM! Bowser appears and the Mushroom Kingdom is destroyed, and Bowser takes Princess Peach. Then almost immediately after, you're jumped into the first mission of the game. The game has most of the time goes pretty fast, the game does slow down a little or sometimes a lot, but normally it picks back up within in hour or 2, depending on how good you are. The game also has taken powerups and other things from the other game and add in new stuff. Such as the new powerups they added like the Cloud Flower. A very good (and very broken) powerup that lets Mario not only jump higher. But he can create 3 platforms out of thin air. Or the Spin Drill which lets Mario tunnel through dirt with ease. Another thing that makes the game very good is the difficulty. It isn't hard like Dark Souls or Cuphead, far from it. But the difficulty spike definitely increases by a lot. As there is more difficult platforming, more dangerous enemies, the whole shabang. The bosses are also interesting. Every world it switches between Bowser Jr, (Bowser's son), and Bowser himself, Bowser Jr has a totally new thing for the player to face against, while Bowser himself is a different story. It has the same battlefield, but Bowser's attacks either are more deadly, or it takes more hits to defeat him. Despite it being the same, it always feels fresh. In addition, the levels in the game are incredible. The music, the feel, and the objectives fit almost always. One of my favorites is the Clockwork Ruins Galaxy, it feels like going on a treasure hunt for the Power Star, with deadly spikes, crushing hammers, the stuff you would find out of an Indiana Jones movie. There are also stars known as Prankster Comets, there's one in every stage, they either create a new star entirely, or they take a normal mission and add an extra challenge, like there's a time limit on how long you can be in the world until you die, or if you get hit once you die, they add an extra challenge that makes an old level feel fresh and challenging. However there are a few that I dislike and feel either bland, incomplete, or just downright stupid. One of those is Battle Belt Galaxy, one of the most infamous galaxies in the game. All you do is kill all the enemies on the planet, go to the next one, rinse and repeat about 8 times and you got the Power Star. It's less fun then it sounds. Another thing most people don't talk about is completing the game. Completing video games all the way through tends to be more of an endurance challenge then actual difficulty. This is where my biggest problem of the game comes in. After getting the 121st Power Star, the game introduces a new thing to the player and the protagonist. Green Stars, there are 2 - 3 in each world, the game goes from fast paced and you saying "YES! I got another Power Star!" To, "Ugh, another friggin star. Yay..." Every Green Star is hidden in every world, your only hints are the start of the mission where it shows you where to go to get the Power Star you already got, and a sound clue that signifies that you're near one. You have to do this is EVERY world other then the last one. You need all 241 stars, 9999 Star Bits (the games main currency) In the bank. You get the final challenge, which is dubbed to be one of the hardest levels in the entire Mario franchise. And they're right, if you complete this level. Then your a gaming wizard. No doubt. Other then that complaint, Super Mario Galaxy 2 is a great game that has aged super well and will continue to be an incredible game til' the end of time. Expand

Basically my feelings on this game are pretty two-sided. The good things about this game include the varied levels, cool new power-ups, and------ the best part------ music that isn't as instantly classic and nostalgia-inducing as the first, but honestly some of the tracks (Melty Molten, Space Storm, Cloudy Court, Slipsand) are just EPIC and go toe-to-toe with some of the original's tracks. And it's neat how they recreated music from the older Mario games (Haunty Halls, Yoshi Falls, Supermassive).
    Probably my lower opinion of this game is all because I played Galaxy 1 first as a young kid, and I just can't let go of the magic that game brought to my little mind. I was much older when I played 2. Overall, I guess the number one reason for my iffyness on this game is that it is quite forgettable in my opinion. Haters might be mad for me saying that, but for whatever reason I have almost no recollection of actually enjoying this game in even close to the way I enjoyed the first. Not a bad game by any standards though and you should definitely play it, because as a mario game it gives you pretty much everything you could ever want. Just don't expect to be blown away and intrigued by the story or atmosphere, or even really the gameplay, as much of it is in 2D and seems to just kind of pointlessly decorate what Galaxy 1 already did while incorporating some older mario game elements like getting to ride Yoshi, which was actually pretty cool. Basically this game is just Mario 64 in outer space if you ask me... except half the time you can't even tell you're in outer space.I would say that the galaxies in this game whose feel and texture came closest to the mysterious feel of the original were, for me, Slipsand Galaxy, Cosmic Cove Galaxy, Starshine Beach Galaxy, anddddd that's about it. The music still stands as this game's strongest point for me. I would definitely replay if and when I got the chance. From an objective standpoint I would say 2 is almost as good as 1 if viewed as just another 3D Mario game. However, compared to 1 and viewed as something that had the potential to top the first game, it fails completely. I'm pretty sure this game isn't even in the same league as Galaxy 1.

    The Super Mario Galaxy franchise is by far my most adored one of all time. Both titles are my most favorite games of all time. The gameplay, theme, score, atmosphere, it all converges to an experience I'd want every single person who has never touched a video game before to have, because I'm convinced it will make them love video games from that point on.

They really should have mixed it up a bit. I did enjoy the final level though. The grandmaster galaxy required skill to beat and it was very satisfying to complete. Getting all 242 stars is just so exciting to see. You really feel accomplished. The star festival star from the first game was cute, but I would’ve preferred an actual challenge though.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. When I first saw the trailer for Super Mario Galaxy 2 a decade ago when I was a dumb little 1st Grader, I lost my **** My favorite video game of all time was getting a sequel!! When I finally managed to get it for Christmas that year, of course I loved it! This game means so much to me, because it was always there for me whenever I had a bad day at school. It also explains why it's one of my most played games ever. (let alone Mario games) Thank you Nintendo for such a wonderful game.

    ...oh what? I guess I got too nostalgic for a moment. Sorry. Anyway, why is the game so good you ask? Well, I will admit that it's not quite as good as the first one, but it's still incredible.

    The one downside to this game is that plot-wise, there's not nearly as much as there was previously. Rosalina barely shows up in this one, and that's kinda sad. Instead we get Lubba, who's honestly a guilty pleasure to me. However, this was the one and only aspect that disappointed me, because everything else was a blast from beginning to end!

    The gameplay is either slightly superior or slightly inferior. In other words, I love the game just as much as I did previously. They improved the Prankster Comets and made them a lot more fun and challenging, they added awesome new power-ups, and...is that Yoshi!? Using his own power-ups!?!? These games just had so many good ideas, and that's to be expected, because Nintendo said that they couldn't even use all the ideas for the first game, so they just straight up said, here's another. The level design is far more linear than the first game's, so there aren't many places where you walk on spherical planets anymore. I don't mind this change at all, it makes it seem more like Mario's home style, and I like that a lot.

    There's not a lot to say in terms of presentation, so...this game still looks phenomenal. Noticeably, it's a bit more colorful and bright than the first game's more gloomy approach. The soundtrack? Yep. Still just as perfect as ever before.

    However, this game, like the first, ain't perfect either. One thing for me is how this game helps you just a little too much. You can get 1-ups all over the place, and Rosalina (in the form of a Cosmic Spirit) will literally guide you right to the Power Star if you fail too much. However, this is completely optional, and only came off as annoying at worst since I never used her guidance. Also, some of the galaxies in this game were rather lazy, specifically in World S. (Mario Squared, Stone Cyclone, Boss Blitz, etc.) I never hated these levels, because they were at least fun to revisit from the first game. The Green Stars are also kinda tedious, I'll admit, but at the same time, I thought they were really fun to find, as they make you search around the galaxy and discover places you might not have before.

    I really wanted to give this game a 10 like the first, but I think these little issues barely set the game back a point. Still, I love this game a lot, and it one of my favorite games ever, let alone Mario games. It introduces so many ideas that work just as well as the first game overall. Please don't call this game a copy-paste sequel, because while it uses the same engine, that's it for the most part. (That argument fits much more for the New Super Mario Bros. and Call of Duty series)

    If you loved the first Super Mario Galaxy, you will adore the sequel.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
