    Man this game is great. It may be easier than the 3d mario games before it but it's more fun and somewhat challenging rather than frustraiting and unfair *cough cough sunshine* If you want to 100% it then it would be really hard but it gets somewhat challenging towards the end of the game while the earlier levels are just fun with little challenge which may not appeal to some people.Man this game is great.

It also doesn't have to open ended levels that the previous games have but for me mario was kind of meant to be linear. I also want to say that the levels are inventive. The developers put in their best efforts in the galaxy games in my opinion rather than even games like mario odyssey. However there are a few things I don't like about the game. It has a bad spring power up, it also lets the second player troll the first player and it doesn't help that there's not much to do as player 2. While I thought the final battle was good, I felt like it was a bit of a repeat of the other bowser battles but then again it was like that in 64 as well. Lastly I used to hate the song that plays when you go to roselina's library but now I like it. It's ok to cry.… Expand

    It still stands up to this day in my opinion. The game is phenomenal. This game is enjoyable for anyone of any age and still stands up today against modern Mario titles like Super Mario Odyssey. And a lot of new people have played the game recently from the release of Super Mario 3D All Stars last year making the game accessible on modern hardware being the Switch.

    Super Mario Galaxy feels like the true successor to Super Mario 64 for me. This game was such an amazing experience, and I feel like it's a must-play for fans of the series.

    Super Mario Galaxy is literally the definition of perfection. Both Galaxy and Galaxy 2 are the cream of the crop in terms of the greatest games ever made.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Best game I've ever played. Period. The story is your typical Mario "oh no! the princess was captured by evil turtle man, now italian plumber must save her (but it's in space this time)" story, but everything else is just glorious. The gameplay, the music (Jesus the music is so good, not a single track is bad imo) and the levels, design concepts and enemies are incredibly creative. Also, once you've collected all 120 power stars, you get to play as Luigi! However, once you get 120 power stars, you get to play as Luigi, and you have to play the whole game over again, with no differences except for Luigi's higher jump and less stable movement (the no new missions thing was fixed in the sequel). But the game was so good I didn't really mind. There are Prankster Comets that come by and change the gameplay of a level, for example, if a Prankster Comet lands on a level, you could have to collect a bunch of purple coins in that level, or have a race with a clone of yourself (I loved these). The ending is heartwarming, and a little sad, too. Just the best game ever, If God had a favorite game, it might be Super Mario Galaxy, It's that good, man, just play it. 10/10, such a damn good game.… Expand

    One of, if not the best mario games, hands down. The game actually holds up today, which is one of the best parts of revisiting the game.

    Like Super Mario 64 did, Super Mario Galaxy has defined (yet again) 3D movements in open space, adding a twist to the already perfect formula.
    The game takes an old approach: like in Mario 64, starting in a tutorial-like area, and then letting the player choose the level and the objective he wants to accomplish, and like Mario 64, there is no need to complete all of them.

    What is new though is the level design. Each level is built around the concept of gravity. The first level, for example, has a small world that can be circumnavigated in a few seconds, and to advance to the next part, we need to jump high enough to get attracted to the gravity of the very next world.
    The entire game is built around this concept and how to manipulate it to your advantage, which makes it very fun to experiment new ways to complete a level, often leading the player in finding secrets.
    Mario also has different new power-ups like the ice flower, which let Mario walk on water ad freeze enemies; or the bee mushroom, which let him fly for a brief period and lean on flowers.
    The songs of Super Mario Galaxy are incredible, not only do they fit every level, but are performed by an entire orchestra, making them a blessing for your ears.
    The boss fight is quite the show. The player will face giant foes generated by baby bowser to stop him. Each one of them is different, but all of them are entertaining.
    Super Mario Galaxy has demonstrated that there are yet so many ideas left off videogames, and it reminded us what having fun really is.

    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 game is peak Nintendo. There really isn't anything bad to say about this game. It's fun, soundtrack is amazing, graphics are good (especially for the Wii). There are a couple levels in the game that can be pretty annoying, but that's just a minor flaw. My childhood right here.

The emotion you feel is different and the music you get can either make you feel lonely but in awe, or it can leave you dancing along with penguins in a random snow mission.

    The only tiny gripe I have with this game is the lack of movement options there are compared to the rest of the Mario series. But the game is still fun, the game is still wondrous, and the game is still one of the best games ever released.    … Expand

    Super Mario Galaxy is a genuine step down from its predecessors in the 3D Mario series.

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

    Do I even need to say why this game is fantastic? The level design is phenomenal the power ups are executed like a dream! The music is the best I've ever heard in a video game! Mario controls beautifully, if this isn't the best game of all time I don't know what is. If you haven't played it yet I am lost for words just go play it it is SO goddamn good.

    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.
