Is it just me, or does watching videos of Super Mario Galaxy remind you a little of Psychonauts (if you've played it or at least seen it)? Not everything is reminiscent of Psychonauts of course, but for the most part for me, it's seeing some of Mario's moves, and jumping up and each different area having it's own gravity at times.
I'm not exactly bashing the game, and I'm not saying that Psychonauts was the first to come up with ideas like this either, but do the videos so far remind you of the game at all? Discuss either game, complain, comment, whatever... just stating something that keeps coming to mind whenever I see a video of Super Mario Galaxy. Do you think Nintendo might have been a little inspired by the game?
When it comes to Mario's basic moves and platforming, it reminds me of Mario 64 and Mario Bros. Now, the whole planet thing is new to me so that could probably have come from some inspiration, but I'm not sure since I haven't played Psychonauts. But everything else is just that, Mario, the one we all loved when we were youger and still do.

It reminds me of the main menu of Psychonauts, and also of Agent Nein's level, since they're both spherical (or cuboid) shapes that you can never fall off of.
Other than that...it doesn't seem to bare any similarities to it.
Actually, now that I think about it, Super Mario Galaxy does look or seem to play a lot like the Milkman stage, which was easily one of the coolest of the Psychonauts world. Now I want to play it even more!

The Milk Man Conspiracy is one of the coolest levels in any video game.
