    Even 15 years after, it feels technically and artistically a masterpiece.
    How it has plenty of literary references, the way it becomes "mature" in terms of Mario style and the music and art direction show that videogames are, in fact, art.

This celestial adventure takes Mario to new heights as he embarks on a quest to rescue Princess Peach from the clutches of Bowser, exploring galaxies, and overcoming challenges along the way.

    At the core of Super Mario Galaxy is its gameplay, which seamlessly blends platforming mechanics with gravity-altering mechanics. Each galaxy presents a unique and imaginative environment where Mario must navigate treacherous landscapes and overcome gravity-defying obstacles. The level design is nothing short of brilliance, offering a perfect balance of challenge and accessibility. The precise controls and responsive motion controls of the Wii Remote make Mario's movements feel intuitive and satisfying. From gravity-flipping puzzles to exhilarating comet challenges, every moment is a delight for players of all skill levels.

    The game's motifs and themes are infused with a sense of wonder and discovery. The concept of exploring different galaxies, each with its own distinct theme and challenges, sparks the imagination and keeps players eagerly anticipating what lies beyond. From lush grassy worlds to fiery volcanic realms and even surreal dreamscapes, the game offers a stunning variety of environments. Nintendo's attention to detail is commendable, as each galaxy is meticulously crafted with vibrant colors, whimsical architecture, and imaginative inhabitants, bringing the game's universe to life.

    Accompanying the stunning visuals is an unforgettable musical score. Composed by the legendary Koji Kondo and Mahito Yokota, the soundtrack elevates the game to new heights. The orchestral arrangements perfectly capture the game's sense of grandeur and evoke a range of emotions. From the sweeping orchestral melodies of the main theme to the playful tunes that accompany each galaxy, the music enhances the overall experience, creating a magical atmosphere that immerses players in Mario's cosmic journey.

    The visual presentation of Super Mario Galaxy is a visual feast for the eyes. The game pushes the limits of the Wii console, delivering vibrant and detailed graphics. The character models are charmingly expressive, and the animations are fluid and lively. The breathtaking celestial landscapes, with their swirling galaxies and mesmerizing starry backdrops, create a sense of awe and wonder. The attention to detail in the level design is astonishing, with every nook and cranny of each galaxy filled with visual delights. From the smallest sparkling star bits to the massive bosses, the visuals are a testament to the creativity and craftsmanship of the development team.

    Furthermore, Super Mario Galaxy's replayability is exceptional. With over 120 stars to collect and hidden secrets to uncover, the game offers a wealth of content to keep players engaged long after the main story is complete. The addition of the Co-Star mode, where a second player can assist Mario on his journey, adds a cooperative element that enhances the multiplayer experience.

    In conclusion, Super Mario Galaxy is a masterpiece that showcases Nintendo's commitment to delivering exceptional gaming experiences. Its innovative gameplay, imaginative motifs, breathtaking visuals, and enchanting soundtrack combine to create an unforgettable adventure. Whether you're a longtime fan of the Mario franchise or a newcomer to the series, Super Mario Galaxy is a must-play game that will leave you starry-eyed and longing for more. Strap on Mario's iconic red cap, jump into your spaceship, and prepare for a cosmic journey like no other.    … Expand

The gameplay and graphics still hold up to this day, competing with games like Red Dead Redemption and GTA V. There is also a plethora of content, as you don't need every star and complete every level to beat it, giving it a good post-game gameplay. On top of all of that, as soon as you 100% the game, it gives you the option to play Super Luigi Galaxy, where you play through the game again but modified with a different character and a different move set, with the levels being slightly modified.

This game does take a more linear approach to level design compared to its predecessors: Super Mario 64 & Super Mario Sunshine, which had more sandbox level design; but it's all for the better. Super Mario Galaxy takes advantage of its linearity and makes gorgeous, creatively designed galaxies to explore.
    The soundtrack has some of the best music I've ever heard in a video game, or any media for that matter, this orchestra poured they're heart and soul into this game and it shows, even the non-orchestrated tracks are still great to listen to and fit their respective areas beautifully.
    The controls and physics are stiffer and tighter to fit the anti-gravity level design and feel really good to control! The controls were clearly designed around the Wii Remote and Nunchuk and feel fantastic! The amount of motion controls feel just right unlike some Wii games, you really feel aggravated by them, and they never really impact gameplay negatively except maybe for certain stages that require it.
    The story is also quite deep for a Mario game. It can be intense and action packed, but also somber and quiet. A certain storybook in the game is a real tearjerker and I recommend reading it when you play the game.
    Overall, Super Mario Galaxy is a masterpiece at platforming and atmosphere. It captures the vastness, loneliness, quietness, and vastness of space beautifully and I couldn't recommend it more. If you haven't played it already go do it. You won't regret it.    … Expand

It attempts to be Mario's most grand and accessible adventure yet, however, it suffers for it at almost every turn. Super Mario galaxy opts to be a more simple game than previous instalments in the series to appeal to a wider and younger audience. Gone are the open world style levels and complex mechanical movement based systems found Super Mario 64 and Sunshine. Levels are now linear and less engaging, Mario’s movement is exceedingly simplified and sluggish, and the puzzles are easier than they’ve ever been before. This is great for young or casual players, but loses the essence of what originally made 3D Mario great. While I appreciate the developers attempt at creating a diverse world, I find that the lack of consistency in theming detracts from the immersion, causing the world to feel un-relatable and “video gamey” to a fault. Additionally, while the idea behind having an all orchestral soundtrack is neat, the music in many instances falls flat or feels out of place which is uncharacteristic for Nintendo games. In my opinion the Galaxy series has some of the most forgettable music amongst prolific Nintendo games from their era. As a whole Super Mario galaxy succeeds at being a simple 3D Mario game that appeals to a general audience. However, it fails to bring many of the most successful core features that had defined the series thus far, let alone innovate on them. While I think Super Mario Galaxy has its place, I hope that it is the only time Nintendo deviates from the direction the series had previously been in with 64 and Sunshine, and gone back to with Super Mario Odyssey.… Expand

    My favorite game of all time, and one of the best games ever in my opinion. This title is absolutely bursting at the seams with master level design and ingenious challenges. Super Mario Galaxy takes a semi-common and often maligned platformer cliche of anti-gravity and makes it the absolute best part of the game.

Super Mario Galaxy takes a semi-common and often maligned platformer cliche of anti-gravity and makes it the absolute best part of the game.

    The visuals for a 2007 Wii game are still to this day outstanding. While the Switch port in Super Mario 3D All-Stars may be seen as cheating for some when talking visuals, playing on the original Wii disc, especially on a Wii U for HDMI, the game holds up remarkably well. The music is one of the best soundtracks ever composed, its beautiful orchestral melodies mixed with the galactic themes of the levels is a match made in heaven.

    The only thing people widely dislike about the game, the motion gimmick levels, barely make up 5 percent of all the levels in the game. Only 6 stars out of the game's 121 stars are the motion controlled levels, and they really are not that bad as long as you pretend the Wiimote or Joycon you're using is a joystick.

    Overall, this game is one of the greats, easily the best of both the Wii's library and Mario's entire catalog, and is a masterpiece on every front. I believe this is a game absolutely everyone should play.    … Expand

    Nintendo has made a big jump of quality with this game. Locations are various, and enemies too, but transformations are repetitive and too much limited about actions that you can do with them. The second part of the adventure, is really boring and disappointing, ruining the expierence and making more difficult to make the 100%

    Super Mario Galaxy is a total mess of a game. The levels are confusing and poorly designed, with random obstacles thrown in without any rhyme or reason. The controls are clunky and unresponsive, making it difficult to control Mario as he jumps and spins his way through the game's environments.

    The game's storyline is also nonsensical and pointless, with Mario inexplicably floating around in space for no apparent reason. The game also lacks any sense of progression or challenge, with levels that are either too easy or too frustratingly difficult.

    Overall, Super Mario Galaxy is a total waste of time and money. The game's poor design, clunky controls, terrible graphics, and nonsensical storyline make it a game that no one should bother playing. Save your money and invest in something better.    … Expand

    This game has not aged a day, and it still looks and plays incredible! I honestly cannot find any fault in this game. If I wanted to be really critical, I could complain about the Wii's resolution, but that is just the fact it is on the Wii. This game holds to the test of time, and it absolutely will for generations to come!

    Joya atemporal que cualquier amante de las plataformas debería jugar. Sus niveles son muy originales y su lore rompe mucho con lo visto dentro de la franquicia Mario hasta ahora. Es probablemente uno de los mejores plataformas de la historia, roza la excelencia a pesar de que ha envejecido peor de lo que debería.

    One of the goats. This game is legendary. The platforming is perfect, the creativity unmatched, the fun unrivaled, the universe is beautiful. Mario’s power ups are ridiculous and addicting to play around with. This game is a master piece. If I had to give a flaw it’s the Wii controls but that’s the consoles fault. If you can play it on switch I’d recommend that!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A great game that sadly offers little challenging side/post-game content. The trial galaxies are fun but are over quickly and the purple coins are painstakingly annoying to get. The atmosphere and soundtrack are incredible but there are many instances of stars that just do not feel gratifying to collect because of how easy they are. I understand the team needed to do this to appeal to the casual audience of the Wii but for me the difficulty of the sequel was much better done.… Expand

    The levels are incredible and the 3D platforming is taken to the next level with the use of gravity, seeing Mario floating between little planets is just amazing and so much fun!
    The only bad thing that i can say about this game is that the camera sometimes can be pretty frustrating to deal with.

    Nintendo has crafted a platform game that, while not as technologically pioneering as its grandfather, is, level for level, more fun to play than "Mario 64." [Dec 2007, p.128]

    Galaxy proves that Mario matters just as much today as he did 25 years ago, and that makes him one of a kind in this medium. But don't play Galaxy simply because Mario is the timeless godfather of gaming. No, play Galaxy because it's fantastic.
