Super Mario Galaxy 2 will remind you of all the things that made Super Mario Galaxy so brilliant; a loving attention to detail, a wonderfully atmospheric and breathtaking world, one of the most sharply designed gameplay experience to date, and a touching yet deeply abstract story.

It will remind you of all of that because you will spend your entire playtime in the sequel wondering when all of it will return.

It's floating platforms in generic skyboxes from now on, and you'd better get used to it, because the Super Mario series will try its best to make you forget it ever tried to be anything more.
