But what games! I reviewed both on release — Galaxy in Edge magazine, and Galaxy 2 at Eurogamer — and gave them both 10/10. I regret nothing. Taking Mario into space, they are perhaps the most inventive and spectacular platforming games ever made, bending, stretching, and twisting the genre into stunning new forms with almost every level. If nothing else, it’s important that these new editions keep them playable on modern hardware. Galaxy 2 hasn’t been made available since a no-frills Wii U download a decade ago; Galaxy was republished on Switch, but only in the limited-edition (artificially so, since it was available digitally) and the rather half-baked Super Mario 3D All-Stars compilation in 2020.

Great to see a review highlighting the brilliance of Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2! Both games truly stand out as iconic experiences in the gaming world. It’s always fun to revisit classics that have left such a lasting impact. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Absolutely! The design and creativity in both titles are exceptional, especially how they utilize gravity mechanics to create unique gameplay experiences. It’s fascinating how each level feels like its own little world, inviting exploration and experimentation.
