"This is the first game on the Wii that I can recommend without hesitation to gamers of any stock, from any background -- a truly must-own title. In creating Super Mario Galaxy, Nintendo had the unfortunate task of besting itself at what it does best: platforming. To say that they've succeeded almost isn't enough; Super Mario Galaxy is so incredible that it improves upon flaws in Mario 64 that I hadn't even noticed until, y'know, Galaxy did it better. And though there's little in the way of 'innovation' of the genre, it's the refinement of the genre that solidifies Galaxy as the most essential platforming experience yet created."
Score: 9.6/10

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.

I can't wait to play this game everybody rates is so well it's crazy. I'm gonna laugh when I play it and think metroid is better despite its lower rating.
