I've heard mixed reviews of Super Mario Galaxy, some good and some bad. The bad review I read said that it was just like Super Mario 64. This is not true at all! The only similarity I see between Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Galaxy is the Triple Jump and the plot to collect stars. All the information I have collected about Super Mario Galaxy is in this article.

Nick Yeoman's Super Mario Galaxy Review

Super Mario Galaxy is a 3D action-platform video game developed by Nintendo EAD Tokyo and published by Nintendo for the Wii in 2007. It is the third 3D platformer in the series after Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine. The game follows Mario on his quest through space to save Princess Peach from his arch-nemesis Bowser. Levels take the form of galaxies filled with planetoids, while game play is updated with a variety of gravity effects and new power-ups. As I mentioned above, I rented this game as I've heard mixed reviews. Here is a break down of pros and cons I've found while playing the game.
Pros:
  • Co-op Play - Its not much but still better than watching your friend play.
  • Gathering stars is fun.

Cons:
  • The 3d worlds can be a little confusing. However this adds to the difficulty of the game.

Nick Yeoman's Recommendation

Personally I'm buying this game, and I would recommend you at least rent it!

Super Mario Galaxy Unlockables

Hidden Character *SPOILERS*

Get all 120 stars. Return to Rosalina on the Comet Observatory and request to fight Bowser again. Finish the credits and you will get a message saying that Luigi is now playable.

Grand Finale Galaxy and Star 121 *SPOILERS*

To unlock the final star and galaxy, collect all 120 stars with Luigi and beat Bowser. Doing so unlocks the Grand Finale Galaxy, which is the Star Festival seen in the beginning of the game. Collecting the 100 purple coins in this galaxy gets you the final star.

All coconuts become watermelons.

Collect 9999 star bits in the hub, and all the coconuts in the game become watermelons.

Death Count

The Grand Finale Galaxy, which is the secret galaxy that can be unlocked after 120 Stars are gathered with both Mario and Luigi, holds another secret. Once this final Star from the stage is acquired with both Mario and Luigi, you will be able to see your death count on your save file. You can now see how many times you died while playing the game with both Mario and Luigi.
