    For effectively as long as gaming has been around, Mario platformers have set standards for everyone else to try and meet. Not just within the platformer genre either, all games aim to emulate the quality of a Mario game, with their tight controls, imaginative gameplay, beautiful graphics or even just tunes that’ll stick in your head.

    While Super Mario Galaxy is not the giant leap forward in gaming we got from Super Mario 64, it stands as a perfect culmination of all the best elements of both Mario titles in general, and platforming as a genre. Each puzzle is unique and challenging, but never once over-bearing or contrived. The game’s pacing is nothing short of perfect while the setting offers unparalleled access to any number of varying puzzle/platform/action- ing ideas. Each and every level you... Read more

    Shhh! Don’t say it out loud in case the fanboys hear you, but Mario’s last adventure - Super Mario Sunshine on GameCube - wasn’t that good, and diluted the delirious platform hopping of earlier excursions to the Mushroom Kingdom by giving players a rubbish jetpack. But in Super Mario Galaxy, Nintendo devotees finally have a game worthy of being considered the spiritual successor to Nintendo’s hallowed genre classic, Super Mario 64. Set on a series of alien...

    Super Mario Galaxy is an amazing feat, a world of exploration that will keep anyone entertained for hours. The large amount of stars assure a solid length of many worlds, each as exciting and interesting as the last. The characters and Nintendo charm is immeasurable, the Luma star characters alone carrying enough cutesy charm to bring the toughest biker thug to tears. If only there was a bit more challenge, to slow the more seasoned gamers from chewing through each star... Read more

    When all is said and done, the thing that really makes Super Mario Galaxy such a standout game isn't the fact that it's another Mario game, but the fact that it doesn't even to be a Mario game to be successful. Sure, it's got all the nostalgic flavor Mario fans would want, with the updated soundtrack, familiar foes, and various other Mario-related bric-a-brac scattered throughout the adventure, but the game never leans on these nostalgic aspects as a crutch. It instead... Read more

    A brilliant game that never gets dull. Great graphics, Great gameplay and Great soundtrack all add up to the best game on the Wii. It's a shame that the game is slighty easy and short but still terrific stuff that every Wii owner must have. ... Read more
