    The best game of all time. It's incredible how advanced was the game for 2007 including the gravity in the planets and all the whole galaxy's. The levels are awesome with great re-playability, and the post game it's kinda lazy buts ok

    If you're buying a wii in 2023, or hell, if you dont own this game already, go out and play it. I dont care how, if you have bad FOMO, this is one of the best things you've been missing out on. I am unbiased, i first played this game on switch, and years after mario galaxy 2 (i got that in 2010 with my wii, missed out on smg1). I wish I had played this sooner. cheers!

This is platforming perfection; the anti-gravity mechanic allows for so much creativity in design and spectacle. 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

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

In this game you play as Mario, Trying to save peach from the middle of the universe. (I know weird) The gameplay of this game is unimaginable and flawless, from the way Mario spins to the long jumps is perfection. Nintendo absolutely perfected the gravity and physics, which is important because the game was based on that, which was amazing at the time, even coming from Super Mario Sunshine. 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 is a masterpiece and will always be, If you haven't played this, I recommend buying a Wii just for this.… Expand

    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.

    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.
