Super Mario Galaxy 2 Nintendo Selects

Just warm feelings when I think about this game

I'll always be a galaxy 2 truther

This game has a "4.24" and people are reacting like it considered bad here or elsewhere. Your favourite indie company Nintendo thanks you for your continued support.

Love the description

A sequel... Bowser once again... Peach forcibly... Mario once again forced... space... once again...

I’ll always prefer the first game. The first game feels like you’re actually in space exploring different worlds. This game just feels like your standard 3D Mario platforming affair. The levels feel like obstacle courses rather than actual worlds. Look at Melty Monster galaxy. The second and third stars have absolutely nothing to do with the first one.

They also fail to sufficiently separate “big” galaxies and “small” galaxies in this game like they did in the first one. The big galaxies that are supposed to be explored feel underdeveloped and the small, gimmicky galaxies overstay their welcome (looking at you, Hightail Falls, Supermassive and Battle Belt). Also, the green stars suuuck.

However, I will say that this game does have significantly better mechanics and level design. It’s a better traditional platformer. The prankster comets are a lot harder and a lot more fun.

I think people upset that this game is "standard 3d mario platforming" don't understand that this was the first time a 3d mario game actually did that.

put in other terms, this game was the first time 3d mario adopted the design philosophy of 2d mario, so for people who love 2d mario (like me) of course they love it. it's basically that style of game, perfected.
