I totally understand why some people prefer Galaxy 1 over Galaxy 2.

But honestly, I think Galaxy 2, despite not having as rich as an atmosphere, wins me over for quite a few reasons, the biggest one being that there are less stars in the levels, which you would think is a bad thing, but because of this, you don’t have to play one level for an incredibly long time, Galaxy 1 was fun, but doing the same level 5-6 times could get a bit boring, in this game, the most I had to replay a level was 3 times, (granted I haven’t 100% the game yet) I just find that Super Mario Galaxy 2 feels a lot more fast paced then its predecessor, and I mean that in the best way possible.
