The first Super Mario Galaxy game stands as my all time favourite Wii game, and my second favourite game of all time. The game was beautiful and nearly perfect in every way. It controlled amazingly. It showed amazing creativity. It looked beautiful. It played beautifully. The story, while minimal, gave way to a much bigger understanding of everything and a touching ending if you cared to explore it and become invested in what happened. It was a well-balanced difficulty, with the game having a nearly perfect learning curve and ending in challenges that were difficult, but not unfair. Then there was the ability to replay the game as Luigi if you got all the stars, and so provided a different way to play what was one of the most incredible, fun games ever created. Anything that wasn’t perfect in Super Mario Galaxy was almost perfect. So, how do you improve on perfection? I don’t know, but Nintendo somehow found a way.
