I am gonna be totally honest: I think I personally prefer Galaxy 2 over 1. I like how it takes a lot of the aspects of the first title and refines them while also adding more unique and fun challenges and gimmicks (plus Yoshi).
But even despite my bias... I will not the deny that Galaxy 1 feels like a way more magical experience. ANd that because it has something that any other Mario game is able to express: melancholy and (in a way) existentialism.
Mario galaxy puts you into this ambitious universe, full of incredibly creative galaxies, orchestrated masterpieces and places full of enduring fun and adventures. Other Mario games are full of these moments, and the solid movement and gameplay makes the whole experience flow perfectly: You get pumped whenever you enter Good Egg or Gusty Garden, and you turn a smile on your face whenever you jump into Honeyhive or Beach Bowl Galaxy......
But the game is not afraid to have levels like Gateway Galaxy, or Space Junk Galaxy.... which are just.... a set of rocks... floating in space, with the giant vastness of the universe on the horizon... with a music that can make you feel relaxed but also melanconic..... for a mario game, shots likes those reminds you...... how little we are in the universe. And how our actions, days and overall life do not make that big of a difference in the grand scheme of the world as we know it......
Contrast like those makes Mario Galaxy one of the games that will stuck in your head for the longest time. It's a title that is able to convey joy, and bubbly gimmicks and gameplay formulas that makes you replay it obver and over again... but also has these shots, these small moments in between that speak to your soul..... no wonder I rememeber crying multiple times when I first played this game.
It's a magical experience that everyone should try at least once. Mario Galaxy is a masterpiece like no others!

Pode ser o fator nostalgia que me faz lembrar tão bem desse jogo? sim, pode ser, mas eu lembro de me divertir muito nele e também ser o primeiro que fiz o tal do 100%.
I am very biased towards this game. It made my childhood. No other game comes anywhere close to this game. It is in my honest opinion the best game ever made. Full stop.
idk what else to say
I mean it's Mario Galaxy
One of the best 'classic' 3D Marios (along with Galaxy 2). Truly a culmination of everything that Mario 64 started, and a great send-off to the style until Odyssey reinvents it. I love this one more than Galaxy 2, in part due to Rosalina's Space Station and the tiny pieces of story surrounding the game, even though I recognize that the core platforming is even further improved in 2. That said, you can't go wrong with either. Also, this is the origin of Gusty Garden Galaxy, one of the best Mario tracks ever composed.
