Super Mario Galaxy on Wii

Super Mario Galaxy Screen Shots

Super Mario Galaxy is a Platforming game available on the Wii.

Super Mario Galaxy is a Platforming game. Platform games task you with getting from point A to point B. The world you journey through is usually based on different levels, and populated with enemies, switches and lifts to be negotiated. As you work through each level you pick up various collectables that accrue score, special abilities and access to hidden areas.

Teen Gamer review Tue, 13 Oct 2009

I remember driving back from college like a maniac eager to slot the disc into my Wii, I was that excited, and I wasn't to be disappointed. I booted up the game and was delighted to see the Wii disc channel display Super Mario Galaxy, with Mario shouting it in his stereotypical Italian accent Super Mario Galaxy. The wait for me was finally over, I was grinning with excitement, and yes I admit it.

I created my save file, choosing out of several possible heads, and away I went. The first screen came showing Mario arriving at the Star Festival, with the camera panning around the beautifully created environment, and then at long last the camera switched to Mario, I was finally in control. It felt awesome and I remember the first thing I did was perform his famous triple jump, complete with the Wahoo! when I'd perfectly executed it, again I grinned. After walking around and talking to some Toads nearby, the first cut scene of the game appeared, showing several ships causing havoc to the princess's castle, I remember watching this in awe.

Haiku Gamer review Wed, 07 Jan 2009

Five second reviews. Written, folded and photographed by hand for your pleasure. My haikvu's bring you bite sized hand sculpted game reviews. They combine the Japanese art of origami with haiku poetry.

Family Gamer review Tue, 11 Sep 2007

Whilst it is unlikely that this is the first Mario Galaxy review you have read, and less likely still that you are unaware of the sort of scores it is amassing, you may be less familiar with some of the more intimate details of Nintendo's latest outing for their superstar plumber. So we'll leave the hyperbole and Mario love for the masses, choosing instead to pin-point the highs and lows of this undoubtedly uplifting game.

It is testament to Nintendo's understanding of their own game that they knew all along what was missed in the move from the densely populated vistas of Super Mario World to the wide open lands of Mario 64. With Mario Galaxy, Nintendo have put the exploration back into their platform game.
