Bit-tech.net writes: "We guard our Wiis jealously in the office, both Richard and I keeping ours locked away carefully in case roaming bandits come searching for them in this, the Time of the Great Wii Shortage.
That's why, when Super Mario Galaxy came into the office I very quickly shoved it into my bag and took it home – eager to test it at home and not in the office where I would inevitably have to cope with rabid journalists pressed up against the windows, steaming the glass with their breath.
Super Mario Galaxy is one of the most anticipated Wii titles of this year, for two reasons. First, it's a full length, true Mario platformer straight from Nintendo and they are always good. Secondly, there hasn't been that many decent Wii games this year and all those that there are will be coming in the next month or two".
Are you ready for another trip through the cosmos on Starship Mario?
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "With the Switch getting on in years and the prospect of a new Nintendo console growing closer, now seems like an excellent time to take a look back at one of its mascot’s two big evolutionary lines, particularly since we now find ourselves in the longest wait ever between 3D Mario games. Today marks the seven year anniversary for the release of Super Mario Odyssey, and with no full new entry in sight, it comfortably beats the roughly six year wait between Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine, which should also be good news to anybody who broke a mirror that day.
3D Mario has delighted fans since 1996, maintaining an astonishing level of quality and bringing innovations not just to the 3D platformer genre, but gaming as a whole. Needless to say, it’s a hard task to rank a series where every entry is beloved, but I shall nevertheless undertake this risky venture with my head held high. Wish me luck."
One of the worst marios.. i hated the fact it was only about finding the moons and very repetitive with the same bosses. There is no exploration in this one.
Galaxy 2 is still unmatched
I played, completed, and enjoyed Mario Odyssey, but I tend to agree that I don't think it's the best 3D Mario. There was sense of sameness that prevailed after the first couple of worlds... not in the levels, environments, or aesthetics, but in the routine of each world. It just felt like each new environment was just the beginning of another checklist of moons to acquire, and the sheer number of them took away the sense of accomplishment I got from the stars in Mario 64 and the like. I can't exactly put my finger on why that is. Galaxy gets my nod as the best one.
I enjoyed it too but i won’t even place it in my top10 mario games.. as you said you are just looking for stars and that irritating music everytime you find one.
Also the bosses are pretty much the same from begging to end. I would have have like some koopalings instead of these dumb useless rabbits
I played a little of this game and freakin' LOVED it! But I forced myself to stop because I hadn't played Galaxy 2, which I've been playing every day for the past week. Cripes, Galaxy 2 is way better than I expected it to be! Even though I dislike the Wiimote and nunchuck controls, and it annoyed me a lot with Galaxy 1, part 2 just feels better and slightly less gimmicky when it comes to the controls.
Sunshine at number 7 no way. I get it's not perfect but it deserves better to date there has not been another 3d Mario that's managed to capture that same movement it's the most acrobatic feeling Mario to date.
It's by and large better than 3d land/world and I'd argue that galaxy 2 didn't offer any trie innovation it was essentially a DLC pack to 1
Personally it's
1) Mario 64
2) Mario Sunshine
3) Mario galaxy
4) Mario Odyssey
5) galaxy 2
6) Bowser fury
7) 3d land/ world.
Cultured Vultures: Put on your freshest dungarees and chow down on the ripest mushroom as we reel off the best Mario games ever made to celebrate Mar10 Day.
My top 3 are Mario 3, Mario World and Mario 64. Mario Odyssey is also excellent, and I enjoyed Sunshine but didn't care for the Galaxy series.
OK, I'm tired of seeing this.
I THOUGHT THE TITLE SAID SOMETHING ELSE
Because the game is severely overrated. 8.5 if you're generous. How the f*** is it fair to give Wii - the worst console ever made and Nintendo reprieve for technical slack?
there are ALOT .... ALOT .. of super mario galaxy reviews.. can we stop approving these please
OMG GUYZZ UR ALL WRONG! SUPER MARIO GLAAXY IS TEH GRATEST GAEM EVAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
