there is a lot to love about this game
fun levels
great feeling movement
varied and interesting themes across the worlds
and fantastic music
but at the same time I couldn't help but feel that when compared to other 3D mario games this game just feels a bit shallow
if you just stick with the base stars the game is super easy and forgiving
exploring any of these worlds just really isn't that interesting and felt very on rails
especially when a lot of them are just linear trails of tiny space balls to jump between
the final few worlds kinda sucked and started reusing themes, gimmicks and even bosses while also doing them worse at which point I just wanted to get the game over with
the power ups in this game kinda sucked (especially spring mario)
and idk this game just doesn't feel like it has the same depth of 64, sunshine or odyssey
maybe the post game content fixes this?
cause so far I really only did the main worlds and final boss
overall though still a pretty good game

Revolutionary game, super fun to play. It still looks and sounds amazing years later. The levels are creative, and the story is probably the best the Mario series has to offer. It is unfortunately held back by somewhat slow and clunky controls (especially with the gravity mechanics) and the ample re-use of levels. I got 120 stars in my play through, only to learn I needed to do it all over again as Luigi to get the true final level. That was a gut punch I will not forget.
It was a great. Mario's movement in this game was absolutely out of this world. The level design and creativity was astronomically stellar. I like space. This is a very good one, you should play it, even if you don't like videos game. It's one of the games that is guaranteed to let you into Heaven. You have my word, as I am God. I became God after 100%ing this game, as you are given another chance at life with Luigi, and then you 100% the game with him. Once you have completely 200%ed the game, you will become all-knowing and too powerful for our feeble human cerebrums to comprehend. Thank you for your time, become God.
Was an amazingly fun game, with graphics that hold up amazing, and quite possibly one of the best soundtracks of all time. The one thing that is holding me back from putting this up higher is the late game (specifically starts ~40-60). It started to get a little repetitive, and the levels got annoying (I'm looking at you bullet bill, and lava levels). I would still recommend this game, as it is really fun, and definitely one of the best games on the wii.
