    All these years later, and this is still one of my favourite games I've ever played. Definitely one of if not the best game the Wii had to offer.

I had a friend who was struggling with one of the missions (i believe the first Big Boo race) so he invited me over to help him get the star, I went over with the intention of just beating the Boo and leaving it there and then I thought "I'll get one more star while I'm here." 2 domes and about 20 stars later I was pulled out of my trance. I adore Mario Galaxy, I adore Mario Galaxy 2 and the day we finally get Mario Galaxy 3 I'm certain I'll adore that too. Expand

This game offers a great story, amazing controls and game mechanics unique to Galaxy 1 and 2, and conveys the perfect atmosphere for the setting in which the game takes place. The characters in this game feel so fitting in the environments they appear in and are very likeable and unique. Not only that, but the music absolutely delivers as well, being the first in the Mario series to have an orchestrated soundtrack. The world of this game keeps the player coming back, with levels and tasks feeling fully fleshed out and very satisfying to complete. Super Mario Galaxy was and still is very impressive as a video game in the grand scheme of things, it is definitely a must play in my book. Expand

    I remember first trying this masterpiece in 2012, 5 years after it came out. Before playing it, i thought it was strange and that it'd have been a normal experience like the other games i've played beforehand. After finishing it, i realized to have gone through one of the most beautiful gaming experiences of my life, no kidding. 100/100, the true Nintendo Business Card :D

    Perhaps the best game ever of Super Mario. I want to see an HD remake some day.

    I have no words to describe how good this game is. In the first galaxies the potential of the game is already shown, all very well executed. You don't want to stop playing.

    I remember getting this game for Christmas with my Wii. So many good memories of just the music alone make me want to dust off my copy and my old Wii to play through it again. The camera jank was pretty annoying but everything else in the game is so polished I can't take points off for it.

    Super Mario Galaxy series - the best games of all time.
    1. Graphics. The graphics are fantastic! I don't really care about the graphics, but I guess they're good.
    2. Gameplay. Very fun. Most of the things are from Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine. So if you like those games, you might like this game too! 3. Music. It is unbelievable to game like this to have a fantastic sounds!

    3. Music. It is unbelievable to game like this to have a fantastic sounds! Just listen to it! I cannot describe how good the music is. Impressive how nintendo put on the beautiful orchestra. Yes, that's right. An orchestra. It might sound very silly for you if you did not listen any tunes of Super Mario Galaxy. But it fits so well! You look like a actor of the show! With the gameplay, you control the experience of the both. I do not have any other words. It's very great, so you should experience it too.

    Never has a video game touched me like the tragic tale of the VanDerLind Gang's downfall. Arthur Morgan will forever be one of the best and most relatable protagonists, period!

    Best Mario game in existence!!
    The music slaps so hard, so many galaxy's to explore!
    I'm so glad this game exists.
    It's fun and exciting!!
    I mean it could be because of my heavy nostalgia to this game, but it's just a master piece!

    Mario Odyssey is a masterpiece and all but Super Mario Galaxy was Super Mario at its peak! Excellent level design, an oddly intriguing story and a wonderful atmosphere enhanced by Koji Kondo's pulchritudinous score! It's everything you could ever ask for in a video game and to this day remains as one of the greatest of all time in my opinion!

    Gripping and fun. A very nice refresh of the main Mario franchise which inevitably starts to feel like it is stagnating. But exceeding expectation Nintendo really managed to outdo themselves with this, and that is not an easy thing to do

    I really enjoyed this game. While there are quite a few bad levels in this game, the good ones are amazing. It’s creative and it has some fantastic music. The controls are ok.

    I don't know what to say about this game that hasn't been said already. This is the best 3D Mario game of all time. No hyperbole, I'm serious. Every aspect of this game is perfect (or almost perfect). The only complaint that can be written about the game is the camera can be kind of weird at times.

    Best game of all time next to xenoblade 1 or me. Pure joy of play. Awesome level design and space feeling with quite touching story. Never gets old. Better than Mario Odyssey. It is challenging, has its own identity, more creative and more memorable with AMAZING soundtrack

    I got this game when I was 4, and it has been my favorite game ever since. This game is beautiful for a wii game, with stellar lighting (no pun intended) and vibrant colors. The wiiMote and nunchuck combo feel perfect for this game, and the cutscenes are theatrical, yet a little cheesy. This is the greatest game ever, and is a must - buy for people of all ages.

    Easily the best game I’ve played. With its unique levels, fun gimmick, enjoyable levels, and spectacular soundtrack, Super Mario Galaxy is surely a timeless classic that diehard fans and newcomers alike can come to and enjoy for years to come.

    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.
