"Using the formulaic concept of saving Princess Peach from the nefarious Bowser, Mario's journey is a perilous one as he travels to distant planets collecting Power Stars along the way. The simple nature of the quest is what makes Super Mario Galaxy such a defining moment in Mario's history.
Universally loved, Super Mario Galaxy was a nearly flawless game with superb controls, excellent camera angles, genre-bending gameplay features, exquisite level design, and clever power-ups. The physics system implemented in Super Mario Galaxy only further showed what developers could potentially do with the Wii motion controls if given the proper time and budget."
