Doing a 120 star run of this was probably the best way I could’ve spent my 3 day weekend
After I played Odyssey again a few weeks ago I wasn’t sure if Galaxy was still my favorite Mario game, but coming back to it this is definitely still on top. While it’s more fun to just move around as Mario in Odyssey, this game definitely has superior level design and atmosphere. For every shitty ball rolling or trash destroying star, there’s 5 awesome stars like Luigi’s Purple Coins or The Golden Chomp. And it’s not like moving Mario around isn’t super fun either. While the spin attack definitely feels like a predecessor to Odyssey’s cap throws, it’s still incredibly fun to use. I’m still in awe of the whole concept of this game, moving Mario around tiny planets with their own gravity is just so damn cool and literally my only complaint is that occasionally the camera can get a bit wonky
Also the music GOOD HEAVENS THE MUSIC ITS SO GOOD AHHHH
You’ve got some absolute bops like Good Egg Galaxy, Bowser Jr’s theme, and obviously Gusty Garden Galaxy, but the themes for Space Junk Galaxy and the Comet Observatory are incredible for the mood of the areas. Honestly the Comet Observatory is probably the coziest location in any game I’ve played, and the music completely defines it, I love how it subtly changes as you collect more stars
What else is there to say, it’s Super Mario Galaxy, a truly incredible game that is adored and will be adored by generations to come
