One of the best games of all time...
The story is the same as the last games. Bowser, the monster, kidnaps Princess Toadstool aka Peach, and Mario has to safe her. But this time it's in outer space!
This game has more in common with 64 than Sunshine. Same music, for instance. And in this game, you have to play against Bowser three times and 'kill' him with the same methods again and again, like in 64. It may sound boring, but it's not. And there's no waterpack this time, so it's more like 64. But is it better? ...
There are a lot of different gameplay elements in this game which lets you travel to different planets and worlds.
The music in this game is just awesome. Nintendo really did a lot of work on this. The controls are also amazing. You use the Wiimote to do a lot of stuff including some minigames.
As in the previous games, this game has 120 stars to collect, PLUS you get to play as Luigi after you beat the game once, so it's very solid.
I think this game is better than 64, to be honest. This game is one of my favorites. So much to do and the best graphics for the Wii to date. If anything needs a 10, it's this game. I usually never give 10's, but this game just deserves it. Unlike the previous games, this game doesn't get boring easily, and is worth the money.
It is a MUST HAVE for the Wii. I love this game to death and I will always keep it in my collection.
