Super Mario Galaxy

Super Mario Galaxy is a 3D platformer that launches Mario into outer space, where entire levels are built on tiny planetoids with their own gravity. Players sling between galaxies, run upside down across spherical worlds, and use motion controls to spin-attack enemies and interact with the environment. The game blends tight platforming with inventive gravity mechanics, creating constantly surprising stages that reimagine what a Mario level can be. Set against a whimsical cosmic backdrop, Mario teams up with Princess Rosalina aboard the Comet Observatory to collect Power Stars and confront Bowser, who has once again kidnapped Princess Peach. Each galaxy features distinct visual styles, puzzles, and challenges—from lava-filled planets to haunting space ruins—backed by a sweeping orchestral soundtrack. Super Mario Galaxy is widely praised for its creativity, polished controls, and imaginative level design, standing as one of the Wii’s standout titles and a landmark in the platforming genre.
