And that's no surprise for Nintendo and a game with its eternally popular mascot, is it?Ī simple flick of the controller will cause Mario to perform a spin that can take out enemies or launch him from the appropriately named 'launch stars', which send him soaring through sky and space with spectacular flair. The use of the Wii remote in gameplay feels very intuitive, like a natural extension of Mario’s abilities. If you’ve played the previous two 3D Mario titles, you’ll grasp the controls quickly, if not instantaneously. The trek leads him into one of Bowser’s mechanical bases, where puzzle solving and typical run-and-jump Mario combat are blended together masterfully as he breaks a power star out of a giant force field. It’s here that players are slowly eased into the gravity-bending gameplay that characterizes the title. The only way he can learn what happened to him is by chasing after and catching a trio of chubby starlike creatures called Lumas that take the form of space rabbits. Mario regains consciousness, only to find himself on a small grassy planetoid somewhere in space. Thankfully, Mario has managed to make it on board the shanghaied castle, but his attempts at rescuing Peach are abruptly halted by a Magikoopa blast to the face that sends him hurtling into the unknown starry expanse. The Koopa King confidently declares that he’s taking his aspirations to intergalactic levels this time, and showcases his intentions by tearing Peach’s castle out of the ground with laser beams and rocketing off with it into the vast depths of outer space. Yup, it’s good ol’ Bowser again, crashing the Mushroom Kingdom’s Star Festival with a fleet of airships - and one unexpected addition: a friggin’ spaceship! The game also wastes no time bringing in the conflict.
The game opens with Mario happily bounding down a starlit path as colorful candylike projectiles rain down around him, making his way to a familiar sight: Peach’s castle from Super Mario 64, looking more glorious than ever, lit up against the backdrop of the starry night.
Super Mario Galaxy wastes no time showcasing to players just how magical it is. It's everyone's favourite Nintendo star, Mario! 15 years ago on this very day, the true sequel to Super Mario 64 had finally arrived, reaching (and in many areas surpassing), the lofty heights of its predecessors. Even before release, gamers the world over were enchanted at how astronomically epic the next big step in 3D Mario games looked - and upon release, it lived up to the hype. For the first time ever, the entire universe was Mario’s playground, and it was clear that Nintendo was pulling out all the stops with its most ambitious Mario title to date. This new Mario adventure was far more than a trek through a magical castle or tropical paradise.
