Super Mario Galaxy 2, you are full fair, 'tis true, but Super Mario Galaxy fairer is than you.
SMG2 is a betrayal of what was dared and greatly done in the masterpiece that is SMG. It is as shallow as it is deceitful. SMG2 takes the heartwarming plot of SMG, the relationships Mario has formed with Rosalina and the Lumas, the rebirth of the universe, tosses it in the toilet and flushes it, because Shigeru Miyamoto foolishly thinks Mario or Zelda games have no need for stories.
Granted, its refined gameplay is an improvement on what SMG created, but it also lacks the love of experimentation and it consequently went the safe way. Super Mario Galaxy 2 got rid off the hub world, levels that had a more explorative and atmospheric theme, Ice Mario and Flying Mario.
Super Mario Galaxy 2 is a very good game, but Super Mario Galaxy is a thousand times better.
