List All 13 PricesOne of the newest Mario games available for the Nintendo Wii Games is the Super Mario Galaxy. Released last November 12, 2007, Mario can be controlled using the Wii remote flick. It is rated RP or Rate Pending by the ESRB.
In Super Mario Galaxy, Mario has to deal with strange laws of physics in outer space as he hops from one planet to another battling aliens encountered in their worlds to gather star bits to be able to save Princess Peach who was abducted by Bowser from the Mushroom Kingdom. There are several new challenges in store for the avid gamer, like ray surfing in the ocean of clouds, ball rolling in a treacherous garden, and trying to stay afloat on a bubble floating over a swamp full of poison. A second player may help Mario in this quest by challenging enemies and collecting star bits. Mario can also transform into a bee or a Boo.
Review Summary
The Super Mario series has always been synonymous with the name Nintendo and Mario. Mario’s newest adventure, Super Mario Galaxy, begins with Mario running to a celebratory event complete with jolly Toads scurrying about, comets falling and exploding in the starry night sky. The story is about the King of the Koopas and his devoted minions wanting to capture the Princess through space traversal, and Mario to save his beloved.
The adventure unfolds in space with galaxies, ships "Power Stars" and "Grand Stars", which are required to fuel the galactic space cruiser. There will be several missions to tackle in galaxies. You will come across small observatories from which you can stare out into the stars and find galaxies to explore. Once you’re inside a Dome, a small star sprite will help guide you, showing you a map of the universe so you can keep track of your progress and see if there are any new galaxies to explore.
You unlock galaxies by collecting more stars; the more you collect, the more galaxies will become available. There are more than 100 shiny sprites to collect in the game. Super Mario Galaxy is more varied than the former series. The galaxies here are numerous and varied. You’ll find galaxies made out of food, toys, beaches, flying airships, floating comets, space junk, mountains, haunted houses, gardens, deserts; almost anything. The platform is brilliant and you’ll be hopping your way across various areas, each with its own gravitational pull. It never gets disorientating or confusing.

Before I begin, I’d like to note that despite being the highest-rated game of this, or indeed, any year, and despite being a years-awaited entry in the most sacred of Nintendo’s long-running licenses, for the Wii is still selling at a disappointingly low rate. To those out there who still don’t own it, I implore you to get off your ass, buy it, then get back on your ass and play for 10 hours. If you’re not completely satisfied… there might be something wrong with you. Read more

Reviewer: el33tonline.com06 May 2008- Overall 10

Nintendo have really been on form lately. For a while it seemed like some of the magic was gone, like they had run out of inspiration. Perhaps their situation with the GameCube meant they couldn’t spend as much time on things as they normally do. Well, they certainly took their time producing Super Mario Galaxy – remember when Miyamoto said it would be out at most six months from launch? Perhaps the unique hardware of DS and Wii has breathed new ideas into the company... Read more

Super Mario Galaxy
Reviewer: talkingaboutgames.com06 April 2008Super Mario 64 has been both a blessing and a curse to the world of platforming. In 1996 it wrote the book on how to make an amazing 3d platformer. That was the blessing. The curse is that for eleven years we had never really seen another platformer that surpassed the level of gameplay seen in Mario 64… until now. The curse has been lifted by Mario 64’s very own grandson Super Mario Galaxy. Featuring fantastic graphics, a superb soundtrack, outstanding level design, a... Read more

Going into Super Mario Galaxy I was a little afraid that it would be another Super Mario Sunshine.I was afraid it would go with the space theme throughout the entire game, and that it would stray farther and farther from its roots, Super Mario 64.midnight opening, so I had to wait the 10 grueling hours until my local GameStop store opened to go and purchase the game, but it was worth the wait.From the first seconds that I started playing the game I knew that this woul...

Super Mario Galaxy
Reviewer: Julie, swapgame.com15 June 2008- Overall 8

one of the best games created on the wii, really fun, challenging in many ways from boss fights to collecting 100 purple coins, and longlasting. For me it took a long time to collect all the stars and the other collectables in the game, and once you have completed it 100% its not over, you can play luigi's storyline (same as mario's but harder) that takes just as long.

Reviewer: Hoyboy, videogamereview.com29 December 2007- Overall 10

Super Mario games have always served up colorful, imaginative worlds, but in outer space there are no limits! Galaxy's opening sequence depicts Princess Peach being abducted by Bowser's spaceship and whisked away to a far-off corner of the universe. To rescue her, Mario will have to hopscotch across dozens of galaxies composed of small planets and collections of floating platforms. Star-shaped portals are used to launch Mario from one location to the next with a flick... Read more
