Super Mario Galaxy Mario's Latest 3-D Adventure Has Mario Going Off Into Space Where He Must Save Peach From The Forces Of Evil Does It Succeed Or is It A Blunder Find Out In This Review

Super Mario Galaxy Is Good In Some Places But Bad In Other Places. The Music Is Some Of The Best I've Heard In The Series. But There Is Also Numerous Remixed Nostalgic Tracks To Help Lighten It Up. The Controls Are Rock Solid And Have No Flaws At All. The Levels Are Well Designed Except For A Few Levels Such As The Gold Leaf Galaxy Which Is The Least Creative Level In The Game Since It Is An Inverted Version Of Honeyhive Galaxy(Looks like Mirror Mode Finally Hit The Main Mario Series.) Another Bad Part Is The Co-op Mode. I Honestly Have To Say It Is One Of The Worst Co-op Modes I Have Ever Seen. The First Player Is Mario And The Second Player Is Just A Cursor Gathering Starbits. The Main Player Could Do That Too So They Could Have Just Made The Second Player Play As Luigi Instead, It Would Have Been Much More Enjoyable. Another Annoying Feature Were The Comets In The Game. The Purple Comets Especially And Don't Go Saying They Add To The Challenge Because I Know That You All Hate Them Too. Then There's The Cosmic Comets Which Make You Race A Shadow Mario.... Hmm Where Have I Seen That Shadow Mario Before Oh Yes Super Mario Sunshine. I Also Don't Like The Fact That Nintendo Keeps Changing Mario's Flying Powerups. First Racoon,Then Cape Mario,Then Wing Cap Mario And Now A Bee/Boo/Blacksuit. WTF. The Originality In This Game Wasn't The Best Ever. I Mean Mario Writes Peach A Letter Asking Him To Come To Her Castle When Mario Arrives Peach Has Been Captured By Bowser And Must Gather The Power Stars To Save Her.... Super Mario 64? I Also Don't Like The Fact That All Of The Bowser Fights Were The Same Well Except for The Final One Which Was Different. The Boss Fight Were Way Too Easy Even On The Daredevil Comet Mode. I Also Don't like That The only Replay Value Is When After You Get All 121 Stars You Think You Get Alot Of Galaxies But You Have To Play The Whole Game Over Again As Luigi Just To Unlock One Pathetic Purple Coin Galaxy.I Mean They Could Have Used that Time to Add I Dunno A Jungle Galaxy Which I Noticed Has Been Missing From Super Mario Galaxy. While I Agree This Was A Good Mario Game It Certainly Wasn't One Of The Best Mario Games I've Seen. So If Your A Mario Fan Check This Game Out Or If Your New To Wii Give It A Try But I Gotta Say Super Smash Bros. Brawl Is Better So Check Them Both Out.

 

Yours Truly,

R.S.

Definitely my favorite game of all time, I have beaten it four times now. Bought the 3D All Stars collection just for this one game alone, wasn't disappointed. The game still holds up even today, truly a masterpiece.

Nintendo says 12.59m as of september 30.

Lower than Brawl again now, but yeah, still undertracked by at least a million.

Undertracked by over a million copies. I was pretty surprised to discover this sold more than Brawl according to Nintendo. Definetely deserved.

Seems pretty heavily under tracked indeed. Nintendo has it at 12.22m as of April. Should at least be nearing 12m in real life by now. If it is at 12m, that means it finally overtook Super Mario 64 as the best selling 3D Mario game!
