Super Mario Galaxy acts as a landmark title not only for platformers, not only for the Wii, but for gaming in general. A title that expresses an unparalleled level of creativity and polish. It represents Mario finally breaking the mold with the 3rd dimension, and setting another standard for 3D platformers in the gaming landscape as a whole. Granted, I was a standard Nintendo would break again 3 years later, but I digress. Playing Galaxy on the Switch in the modern era feels unbelievable. It has aged like so fantastically that it looks modern despite being built 2 generations ago. Every single galaxy feels perfected, like the devs were looking over ever detail with a magnifying glass. The score complements these levels with (at the time) the greatest score Nintendo ever put out. I remember looking at the copy of this I had on the Wii and thinking, "Someday..." Suffice to say I waited too long and I just played the Switch version. With all of that being said... Ghostly Galaxy best galaxy. GOODNIGHT.
