Bio
I play video games and pretend to be good at them.
I'm new to this, so I hope to provide an interesting catalog for you all.
I intend to write reviews for every game I play, even if the game is small and doesn't warrant much discussion. So, I apologize if this takes a while. I'll try to review a game each day.
If any of you want to talk or be friends, find me at my handles. Just please let me know who you are first. Have a good day and I hope you played a game today! :)

When I dreamt about Mario and Sonic doing a crossover that would be legendary, this isn't exactly what I had in my mind.
Regardless, it exists and honestly, it's decent. Despite the weird idea of Mario, Sonic, and their friends competing in the Olympic Games, it's admittedly a fun concept. But the concept of them being in a fighting game definitely would've been better. (Yes, I know we got Super Smash Bros Brawl a year later, but still.) In terms of enjoyment, I've only played this game whenever my family wanted to or if I was bored. It's just the mere fact this game is an Olympic Games simulator instead of a fighting game that doesn't really give me much incentive to dedicate a lot of time on it. With that, it's more like a "one-and-done" kind of game. I didn't even play the sequels just from pure disinterest.
It's not a bad game by any means and some of the sports are fun, but I never see myself actively replaying it.

I never thought I would write a review for an exercise game, but here we are.
At the time, I was completely flabbergasted by the fact that video games could encourage daily exercise. And since I had a Wii Balance Board at the time, I gave Wii Fit a chance. However, ironically, I never actively played it since I was already getting exercise by just being outside. So I didn't really need a video game to remind me that daily exercise is good hahaha.
In terms of the game itself, it's... alright. The minigames work well enough to replicate activities, but I personally believe that Wii Sports does a much better job at encouraging exercise WHILE also being fun.
And that's what it really boils down to: Wii Fit is good for a short pastime, not a full dedication.

I'm writing this review while I'm in my Astronomy class lmaooo.
Anyway, this was the very first Mario game I played and I'm just going to say what has been repeated ever since it came out: this game is simply magical.
While I knew of Mario 64 and Sunshine as big leaps for the series, I'd argue that none of them were as legendary as Super Mario Galaxy. It cannot be understated how massive the scope and scale is in Galaxy because I mean, come on; IT'S A UNIVERSE-SPANNING ADVENTURE.
While the story is, well, the usual Mario affair, the gameplay, the beautiful art direction, and the galaxies you visit make up for it. The nonstructural level design in any other game would be seen as questionable (i.e. Bubsy 3D), but Galaxy uses it to perfection. And for a Wii game, it's still one of the most beautiful-looking games on the system.
Although, one thing that I think Super Mario Galaxy does really well that I'm thankfully not alone in is the balance between feeling adventurous as you explore the many different galaxies with the unshakeable fact that you are alone in the vast, infinite space of the Universe. I know it's a really weird thing to comment on, but given how colorful and fun this game is, the quiet nature of space is displayed beautifully.
In conclusion, even if you're not a Mario fan, a Nintendo fan, or an avid gamer, you owe it to yourself to play this game. It's undoubtedly one of the best.
