Super Mario Galaxy has just become one of my all-time favorite video games. There is only one bad level, and that is the only issue. The gameplay is so immersive and never stops trying something new in the mechanics. Each galaxy you go into has something unique and different about it where everything has something to make it stand out against the rest. It is so inventive everywhere you go where the whole game you're just going "wow, what are they gonna do next?".

The narrative here is as epic as Mario has been up to this point and tells a very good story. The finale after the boss fight with all the Lumas is beautiful and poetic, and you forget you're playing a Mario game. You feel like you're watching a movie.

The controls were perfect with absolutely no issues whatsoever. In 64 and Sunshine I'd have rage moments when I'd die because the controls/camera screwed me over, but I never had a moment here because whenever I died, I knew it was me. I knew what I did wrong, fixed it, and moved on. The game really spoils the player in that way, and it makes you think every game should be like this.

Galaxy also gives you the perfect blend of what a Mario game should supply. It is a 3D Mario game at its core, but it has 2D sections giving the classic Mario feel. It has every Mario staple (except Yoshi) without feeling forced into it, as it all just comes naturally. It's a showcase of everything fantastic about Mario while also being its own entry telling its own story and showing new mechanics.

There is not one flaw I can find in this game, as it is perfect in my eyes. This was my first playthrough of the game, and I guarantee you it won't be my last. Galaxy was a super inventive and creative game that never stopped doing something new. It is a masterpiece in its franchise, genre, and gaming as a whole. It is a must play not just for Mario fans but for everybody. Super Mario Galaxy is indeed super, and has become my favorite Mario game. Nintendo, good job!
