Super Mario Galaxy is easily the best Wii title to date and should be in every Wii owner's library.
The game kicks off like all Super Mario games before it. King Koopa {Bowser} kidnaps Peach and it's up to you, Mario, to save her. Only this time, you're in space. The game starts off slow as you run into three rabbits on a tiny planet and must find and catch them so they tell you where you are. After that, you meet Rosalina, the woman in charge of the "spaceship" you soon find yourself and the "mama" of the peculiar stars called the Lumas. The first galaxy you visit is called "Good Egg Galaxy" and starts you off on a mission called Dino Piranha where you must find a giant piranha plant and of course destroy it. You'll be doing many missions like this throughout the game in all of the forty different galaxies. There are fifteen main galaxies and 25 sub-galaxies. The main galaxies generally have about 5-7 stars to collect whereas the sub-galaxies generally have about 1-2. Each galaxy is unique in it's own way and will have you doing and using different things to complete them.
In Galaxy you can use different costumes that all have different styles and uses. There is the boo costume which turns Mario into a boo, the bee costume which dresses Mario like a bee with the ability to fly, the spring costume which lets you bounce around, the fire costume...figure it out and my personal favourite, the ice costume. They all work in different ways and will constantly appear throughout the game. In a level which I think is called "Freezeflame Galaxy" you will consistenly be alternating between the fire and ice costumes to do different tasks, such as skating or lighting torches, very cool.
The games visuals are beautiful and each level is unique in every way. My personal favourite is "Toytime Galaxy". It, like so many of the levels, immerses you into the game with it's constant detail and vibrant colours. Not a single part of this game was ignored, Shigeru Miyamoto made sure that absolutely every single last detail was put into every area in the game. The moods set by each level are constantly changing and so are the challenges so the game never gets repetitive. One level will have you rolling around a golf course on a giant plastic ball where another will have you surfing down a floating waterfall on a manta ray. This game is so brilliant, it never ceases to amuse and there is always something new around the corner. It's one of the best, if not THE best, gaming experiences I've ever had.
Do I even have to tell you? If you're one of the Wii owners hiding a rock and you still don't own this, make your life complete and buy it. You won't regret it. And if you do, tell me and give me a good reason why you didn't like it, because I don't understand how anyone could dislike this game unless they're trying to get attention. Super Mario Galaxy is as close as perfection gets on the Wii right now, it's the best game of 2007 and should be played by anyone who has the chance. Thank you so much for to-reading my review. Peace out.
