Johnny vs. Super Mario Galaxy

The next adventure takes our hero to the star-filled void, through countless planetoids, battle stations, and other elements that somehow drifted out of orbit. It's Mario's debut on the Nintendo Wii, but does it bring that system selling quality?

[@VGAfanatic]

Another thing that I am grateful to this game for: Introducing Kenny James, by far the best voice of Bowser yet. Oh God, his deep growling tone, that echo, how he applies it to roaring, laughing and even humorous reactions to his faltering situation, you can tell that he made this character sound powerful. And I love that it stuck for later titles like Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story and Super Mario 3D World (I hope you have that up for vote eventually). It's a massive step up from synthetic roaring sound effects and the grunting Cookie Monster voice in every game before.

happy 15th anniversary super mario galaxy!!! :3 a great showing of mario on the wii and my favorite mario game(along with super mario world,3d world & odyssey) that i love so much with it's music(the orchestrated pieces definitely that add to the bright worlds in space you explore .),gameplay(though i wish the rolling ball was cut and wish the red star was brought back/made into the cape feather it took advantage of the wii/used gravity in a non forced way the star spin and cappy are my favorite features and i just found out about the homing ground pound.), cinematic presentation(it has such a movie like feel similar to sonic unleashed to me that i'm glad odyssey brought back and hope the next mario game has that.),post game(way better than pre galaxy and 2 especially with how much you collect as i loved playing as luigi again along with finding his interactions with rosalina cute in the ending picture and getting to enjoy the star festival at the end just wish peach was there outside the photo/we saw more of toadette considering her cameo in the intro.) and especially rosalina(along with luigi/daisy,princess peach and wario/warioware's cast my favorite mario character for her sweet motherly personality,her wonderful backstory which mario needs to do more of and being my favorite nintendo god along with palutena/viridi.:3)

2007 was a great year

[@Laphrai]

Story time! In my younger days (about 5 or 6) I was hooked on my dad's NES. He was given one by a relative/friend (can't remember which) but he wasn't really into gaming so he let me and my brother use it. There wasn't a big selection of games; we had... I'm just going to grab the cartridges... OK, let's see... Super Mario Bros., Bubble Bobble, Duck Hunt, Ice Climber, Top Gun (which I wasn't interested in), a broken copy of Devil World (which I also never got around to play, though I don't remember if it was broken back then), Hogan's Alley and Slalom. This was in the early 2000s. Let that sink in. (My current age might help in realising: 17) Anyway, I grew up and moved to random PC games until Christmas -07 when we got a Wii with Super Mario Galaxy. So I jumped from the first Super Mario Bros. to this. Let's compare the two. A 2D sidescrolling platformer from the third generation of consoles to a 3D platformer from the 7th generation. No other Mario games between the NES classic and Galaxy. The only other mainstream platformer I played was Sonic Heroes for PC (and MY GOD the slowdown was DREADFUL thanks to my dad's toaster PC, yet I still managed to complete the game... like a year after my last session). tl;dr: Galaxy is close to my heart for truly introducing me to Nintendo. Though we traded it in (it was either 1 or 2) among with almost our entire Wii library for an Xbox 360 (the disc reader broke), I consider Galaxy and Twilight Princess the games that made me the gamer I am today. P.S. Buoy Base Galaxy all the way.

Mario Galaxy. This is my favorite Mario platformer (tied with the sequel). The level design is insanely creative, the hub world is fun to travel through, I like that Rosalina is a character with an actual backstory (favorite Mario character tied with Luigi btw), the soundtrack is AMAZING, the game still holds up graphically pretty well, the antigravity isn't jarring, the spin jump is great for both enemies and platforming, the motion controls aren't intrusive (for the most part), an no 100 coins or blue coins (though some purple coin mission can be annoying). The powerups are alright. I enjoyed them for what they were. Great review, Johnny. You summed up both the greatness of this game and its flaws fantastically.

[@jjc4924]

Agreed.

[@DankFrank899]

SMG is in my top 5 games of all time. Top 5 best soundtracks in a game too, ugh SO GOOD SMG2 is pretty much a DLC expansion, albeit a really great one, but Nintendo DID seem like they were low on ideas with it, still an excellent title regardless.

[@Jaztec35]

Another spot-on review Johnny, can't wait for Mario Galaxy 2!

[@Zakkujo]

This is probably the best Mario game in recent years. 3D World was good but it just didn't feel like a big adventure like Sunshine or Galaxy. Anyway, nice video Johnny! I've definitely been waiting for this one.

[@Zakkujo]

VonFirflirch I just want something different. Mario used to have so many different areas for each game. Like Sunshine was on a random ass island and Galaxy was in space. I want something that actually feels like an adventure. Not a game that just feels like it's playing safe.

[@Zakkujo]

VonFirflirch Yeah. But I want something completely different. Not something with old designs. You know what I'm saying? Like maybe put Mario in a full 3D environment with a bunch of originality. I know 3D world is 3D but I mean where you can take Mario wherever you choose. Not like in 3D World where the exploring in the hub worlds is kind of bland. It's hard to explain and I did a piss poor job doing it. Basically I want another game that feels like a big adventure that I can explore to my hearts content.

[@Zakkujo]

VonFirflirch More open world. But still have stages. Like Sunshine or 64.

[@geoffschannel94]

3D world is a 2d mario game put into 3d levels, in that you go through a linear level to get to the flagpole. I find that the 3d games are more vast and epic and just have a different feeling to them. Both are fantastic, but noticeably different

Super Mario Galaxy was one of the first Mario games I've ever played, and my god, I loved it. Everything about the game (not withstanding some of those comets) was amazing, and the soundtrack is orgasmic. The linear approach, while disappointing to me as I prefer large scope levels, I feel helps those who don't like massive stages. I haven't played this game for a long time, and I should play it again someday. :)

***** Yes, it is. :3

[@officialkirbyfan6899]

Remember Johnny every 3d mario game doesn't have power ups Except for 3d land and world

[@ExoParadigmGamer]

What's with all the Galaxy 2 hate? I love both of these games to death, and I originally loved the first more than the second, but over the years the sequel has won me over and has become one of my favorite games of all time. It's the best looking Wii game I've ever played. The soundtrack is even better than the amazingness of Galaxy 1 due to its mix of fantastic remixes (like the best version of Koopa's Road), tracks from Galaxy 1 (like Gusty Garden), and amazing original tracks like Yoshi Star Galaxy and Bowser's Galaxy Generator. The levels are greater in number and more varied in design than any previous collectathon Mario and integrate the most creative (if admittedly situational) powerups in Mario history to create some of the best stages in any platforming game PERIOD. There's more bosses, more stage hazards, more set pieces, and it ultimately creates what is easily the biggest and most ambitious Mario title to date (3D World was still pretty good, though). There is the occasional recycling of elements from the first, like Shiverburn Galaxy, but when this does happen, it feels like a loving tribute rather than a lazy rehash. I can't help but feel that Galaxy 2 haters are allowing the "Wow Factor" of the first game, which won't even matter in 20 years, to cloud their judgment when comparing these two masterpieces side to side. That's like calling SMB1 better than the considerably better designed SMB3 just because SMB1 was "more impressive for its time." I was there when both of these games were released folks, and while the Wow Factor of the first did originally lead me to prefer it, when I got past that and actually analyzed what made both of these titles so great, I realized that the second game has the advantage. While you don't have to like it more than the first, it's a bit hateful to refer to Galaxy 2 as an overrated piece of trash just because the first game seemed "more impressive for it's time."

[@eternalinnocent9506]

Do i see a new vid coming soon?

[@pforgottonsoul]

its mostly the lack of story in galaxy two that makes it worse for me. I honestly couldn't care less about the soundtrack or level design. Also yes it is a rehash it's pretty much the exact same concept as the first game.

[@Indomavel2112]

So games like Super Mario Bros. 3, World, Sonic 2, Sonic 3, Crash 2, Crash 3 etc etc. are also rehashes, according to you? I mean, they pretty much have the exact same concept as the first game in each franchise. That argument is so dumb...

I loved the ease of unlocking new galaxies. It was constantly like "new galaxy, new galaxy."

[@tracyndiyob162]

happy 13th anniversary super mario galaxy!!! :3 a great showing of mario on the wii and my favorite mario game(along with 3d world & odyssey) that i love so much with it's music(the orchestrated pieces definitely that add to the bright worlds in space you explore .),gameplay(though i wish the rolling ball was cut and wish the red star was brought back/made into the cape feather it took advantage of the wii/used gravity in a non forced way the star spin and cappy are my favorite features and i just found out about the homing ground pound.),cinematic presentation(it has such a movie like feel similar to sonic unleashed to me that i'm glad odyssey brought back and hope the next mario game has that.),post game(way better than pre galaxy and 2 especially with how much you collect as i loved playing as luigi again along with finding his interactions with rosalina cute in the ending picture and getting to enjoy the star festival at the end.) and especially rosalina(along with luigi/daisy,princess peach and wario/warioware's cast my favorite mario character for her sweet motherly personality,her wonderful backstory which mario needs to do more of and being my favorite nintendo god along with palutena/viridi.:3)

[@Abyss_WaIker]

This game is almost 7 years old. Holy shit.

[@mydadshowering2978]

Nearly 10 years old now...

[@GamerGuyd7Aces]

I unfortunately never got to play Super Mario Galaxy 1 OR 2.. But I've heard many great things about those games, and I know they're really great, because I played the demos of them both. I'll have to admit, I enjoyed playing the demo of Galaxy 2 way more than Galaxy 1. Galaxy 1's controls were just a bit weird to me at the time, but when Yoshi was added in Galaxy 2, it just felt more natural and fun. Which one should I try first? Cuz I'm leaning on trying Galaxy 2 first :)

[@GeneralShyGuy7]

I would try Galaxy 2 first, only because if you play Galaxy 1 before it you will be severely disappointed. The reason people dislike the sequel compared to its predecessor is because Galaxy 2 doesn't feel like a big improvement once you've played the first one. The controls of the 1st shouldn't change your opinion on which to start though, they both have the same control roughly (maybe a little change here or there, but nothing noticeable).

[@GamerGuyd7Aces]

***** Oh I see, thanks for the advice though! I heard that Galaxy 2 is a little more linear than Galaxy 1 and structured like 3D Land/3D World in that you just go from one level to the next in a hub world. I love that approach, lol

[@randomgamerdude98]

***** yeah galaxy 2 was a disappointment. Galaxy 1 is superior. As for the controls they were the same

[@GeneralShyGuy7]

randomgamerdude98 I remember there being slight changes, that may have been due to physics or something. I do know that all the inputs/buttons do what they usually do in both games though. Maybe I'm wrong, I don't know XD.

[@stephenobrien6983]

I think galaxy 2 is the better game but I find its almost always better to play titles in their subsequent order

[@TayTheNeonNeko]

"What's not to like?" The fact that Nintendo milks her to death, putting her in every god damn game!

[@KidSnivy69]

It's Nintendo, not likes she the only one the do it to

[@Chocuphir]

Just what I wanted hear. Good Job Johnny and thanks for the review. Cant wait for Galaxy 2 review.!

[@monster25man]

hey johnny, what was your reaction to Rosalina in Smash Bros? and what are your thoughts?

[@EverScrolls]

The great thing is, I don't think most of your viewers noticed the joke at around 10:11... it was so perfectly executed. Well done.

[@megamarsonic]

Well you're right about one thing. I definitely don't get it.

[@EverScrolls]

Listen to it several times.

[@EverScrolls]

By the way, if you do know what is funny and you are simply not laughing because you are more "mature" then pointing that out by saying "I definitely don't get it" just makes you seem immature by comparison... Erection.

[@megamarsonic]

SensibleGaming Oh that joke! Yeah the time stamp you put up skips that joke entirely, so I thought you were talking about something else. 10:07 is what you should have put down.

[@EverScrolls]

DAMN YOU KZbin AND YOUR RANDOMLY SKIPPING TIME STAMPS!

[@Ocelcinion]

i saw this in my sub box, and shat my pants. IM SO GLAD YOU'RE REVIEWING THESE!

[@Sokka2Me]

Terrific as always. God, this looked like a game that was worth the console

[@AutZentus]

2015 you should do a super smash bros. marathon of the five games.

[@madmatrix30]

He means the wii u version and 3ds version

[@madmatrix30]

Both versions have differences

[@luigigunman456]

But version are still the same damn game at the end of the day. Those are only minor differences in a review

[@AutZentus]

I do understand that it's still the same game but I see them as different because one is handheld and the other is home console.

[@luigigunman456]

That's like saying all 3 Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed games because their on handhelds and home consoles, but they're basically the exact same thing

[@ShadowVincent3]

Funny he didn't mention the bonus for getting all 120 stars again as Luigi, oh well, good review anyway

[@therandombowguy1207]

But... He did? Lol

[@ShadowVincent3]

He covered it in the Galaxy 2 video as I found out, but he didn't mention the Grand Final Galaxy, which requires all 240 stars from Mario and Luigi, in this video

[@therandombowguy1207]

Okay... He covers Luigi in this video. That's all I was saying.

[@Cheatscape]

He didn't mention the extra galaxy you unlock for getting 120 stars with Luigi, bringing the total number of stars 121 for each brother.

[@brandonjohnson3036]

i think I've mastered the art of the rolling ball after i played the "Rolling Gizmo Galaxy" that galaxy was so annoying but i got through it and also the "Bubble Blast Galaxy" especially at the end when there is all these bullet bills, it was so intense

[@Chocolian]

Galaxy is honestly my favorite of the Mario series. I can't wait for his review of Super Mario Galaxy 2!

[@Silshadnic]

It wasn't the first time Bowser kidnapped Peach along with her castle. Remember the N64 paper classic? Good times. Good Times...

[@Omar_E11]

Silshadnic Paper Mario, hands down, one of the best Mario games ever, and one of my personal favorite games of all time.

[@Omar_E11]

***** I was talking about Paper Mario 64.

[@k-leb4671]

I feel so weird for this being my first 3D Mario game. I get so much nostalgia for this game (and not so much Galaxy 2, even though I'm I played that a lot as well). I even find it hard to believe Sunshine is a main title in the series (because I know next to nothing of it). And whenever I see Super Mario 64, I don't get nostalgic for it...I get nostalgic for Super Mario 63 (fan game by Ronouw) of all things, because I played it a lot when I was young. It's odd having a different experience with the 3D Mario games than most other people.

[@Inuconandoyle]

Great review Johnny. I have a lot of good memories for this game. It was the game that convinced me that I had to purchase a Wii in 2011. I had a lot of fun playing through the levels even though some missions did give me a hard time (looking at you Luigi's Purple Coins, Dreadnought Purple Coins and Bubble Blast Galaxy). The backstory was touching and the music is incredible. I agree that being able to play as Luigi after getting a 120 stars is a great reward.
