Mario essentially defined the 3-D platforming genre with Super Mario 64, and the new Super Mario Galaxy for Nintendo Wii proves once again that he is king. Players run, jump and battle enemies as they explore all the planets in the galaxy. Since this game makes full use of all the features of the Wii Remote, players have to do all kinds of things to succeed: pressing buttons, swinging the Wii Remote and the Nunchuk, and even pointing at and dragging things with the pointer. Check our the gameplay video of Super Mario Galaxy below to get a better impression of the gameplay.
The Nintendo Entertainment Podcast is here, and it's the host's birthday! But don't worry, they'll talk news and Super Mario Galaxy too!
Super Mario Galaxy turns 15 years old today (November 1st, 2022) and its impact on the Wii as a console cannot be understated.
The Wii game occupied a tricky space for Mario, no pun intended, but Nintendo managed to leverage the software to deliver an absolute blinder.
I’m going to give it to Super Mario Bros. 3, but if I had to pick the 3D games I’d give it to Odyssey. That game felt like a love letter to fans.
But man, Mario 3 is really the apex of the series for me… I guess you could argue a case for World, but I always go back to 3 at least once a year.
The creativity in this game is astonishing. It’s not my favorite or must fun for me, but I cannot deny that it’s one of the most creative-outside the box games I have ever played.
I'd say Sunshine is personally my favorite. Though Galaxy would definitely take second place.
