Mario Galaxy is a different style of running, jumping and exploration game. It takes the Mario character to hundreds of different planet shaped levels adding more realistic physics to the platforming play. Each world, or collection of worlds is different and offers a unique challenge.

Nintendo aimed to make the game appeal to players of all ages, and the team had more freedom in designing it compared to other Super Mario games because of the outer space setting. This was underlined with a real orchestral soundtrack.

Along with new interactions and visuals, the tame stands out for its unusually downbeat story. As we hear about Princess Roselina we discover a narrative that draws on the classic children's tale, The Little Prince.

Super Mario Galaxy was a critical and commercial success, hailed as one of the greatest video games of all time. Super Mario Galaxy is the highest-rated game of all time on. Critics praised the game's graphics, gravity mechanics, soundtrack, and setting.

You can play this on the Wii or Wii U with the game disc or purchase the download version on the Wii U. Super Mario Galaxy 2 extends the originals planet platform play. Useful for new players was the addition of an assistance mode if you get stuck. It also adds support for the enhanced Motion Plus Wii Remote controller for more nuanced and accurate controls.
