Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 – out of this world fantastic

Super Mario Galaxy. Let’s be honest, those three words are exciting to the ears of many gamers worldwide, and not just die-hard Mario fans. I’m the first to admit that I don’t really understand the hype when it comes to the Italian plumber, but the Super Mario Galaxy games are among the few adventures of his that I actively enjoy, so you best believe that I’m here for the ports of both games to the Nintendo Switch 2. Actually, Mario’s 40th birthday turned out to be big for me for a couple of reasons, as, beyond his galactic journeys, I’m also a fan of joining Mazza on the Tennis court.
In even better news for me, the good folks at Nintendo gave me the privilege of enjoying Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 early, so I can bring you this review. I’m not here to tell you how I find Mario to be mostly boring today, as I’m one of the many who consider these two entries to be among the best Mario games out there, and I think it says a lot that they can grip me when I’m actively a Sonic or Crash Bandicoot girlie over Mario.
To the surprise of no one, the Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 ports are delightfully charming, reinvigorating two spectacular games to bring them to yet another generation of players. Starting with the first game, I immediately felt my love for the series return with a vengeance as I took control of Mario, leading him down the road to enjoy a celebration of stars. Of course, Bowser comes along to ruin it, taking Princess Peach as hostage for what feels like the thousandth time. If there’s one thing I have to hand to the Mario characters, they’re pretty consistent.
