When I was little I used to just hang out at the Honeyhive Galaxy and the Beach Bowl Galaxy and chill with the bees and penguins. Good times

[@marioobsessed03]

Similar case here. I used to do Sea Slide Galaxy’s silver stars mission just because I enjoyed exploring the place and I enjoyed the purple coins mission for that reason. I know I liked to chill in Super Mario Sunshine, kinda like having a virtual holiday.

I just hang out in beach bowl, sea slide, star shine beach, gold leaf and honey hive, and toy time just talking to the bees,piantas,penguins and robots

Those were my favorite galaxies

[@real-moai]

Same, but I would hang with the bunny’s :)

[@maxrollwage161]

A shame that the ending of Slimy Spring Galaxy wasn’t mentioned. When the music fades out, leaving only the nature sounds and the wonderful grass landscape shines in the bright sun, I seriously thought I was in heaven

[@mawreena-]

THIS also the music before that is just so athmospheric. The start of the level also looks great imo.

[@vanengelhardt7586]

Yah I agree, I think that the gateway should have ranked higher tho. Also the bunny’s in the snow one should have ranked lower

[@spanglish04]

Van Engelhardt gateway isn’t really good but it’s just so nostalgic, that I wish it was higher

[@vanengelhardt7586]

Anthony Wyrostek it’s not that good, but it’s not the second worse out of both games

[@spanglish04]

Van Engelhardt definitely not. I honestly don’t agree with most picks on this list, but it’s all opinion based. For example, I don’t get how melty molten is below gold leaf.

[@NathanielBandy]

That's literally how I felt writing this whole video, it was very hard to categorize this list haha

[@Lefty7788tinkatolli]

For me, I think the best moment in all of the Galaxy games has to be the ending of Slimy Spring Galaxy. This is not my favourite galaxy by any means... but that moment, right at the end, when you emerge from the murky cave, and the really gloomy music stops in its tracks and is replaced with birds and wildlife, the fog that has shrouded the whole level clears and you're looking right out onto a glorious sunset. You're in this haven, this safe little oasis and it's just perfect.

[@spence8507]

I always loved that stage when I was younger it took a long time to beat it but once I did it became one if my favorites.

[@Rodanguirus]

I agree completely! I’ve had this moment burned into my mind, but couldn’t remember which galaxy (or which of the two games) it came from! But that scene you described has been vivid in my mind for years!

[@geometrydashgamer8311]

Yeah, I really love that. Especially considering urchins in the Mario Galaxy series(and porcupuffers for that matter, but thankfully, they are really rare) are my #1 most hated enemies. Out of all the enemies, they are the only enemies I have never gotten over being freaked out about. So to swim through that extremely hideous tunnel and narrowly dodging all these extremely hideous sea urchins, only to see that beautiful sunrise at the end...just...I can't describe with words. On a side note, the spiky plants in Honeybloom Galaxy are also scary

[@joshcohen29]

@@geometrydashgamer8311 I'm still terrified of the giant jellyfish in deep dark and cosmic cove

[@geometrydashgamer8311]

@@joshcohen29 Oh yeah. That's relatively scary too. Though I can tolerate it more than urchins and porcupuffers. But I haven't gotten hit by a jellyfish yet, and I don't want to see what happens when I do get hit by one

[@tandemtcg]

Look, I don't care how good or bad each galaxy is compared to each other. The fact that Nintendo made 91 galaxies, which are technically worlds in Mario games, does just enough to deserve my respect.

[@ArtieArchives]

Traditional 2D Super Mario Bros only have 8 or 9 worlds.

[@tandemtcg]

[@einekartoffel2490]

I like starshine beach A LOT. The mario sunshine vibes are real, the water's color is gorgeous and the stars are fun and relaxing. I just wish there was a cool crab boss fight and the arena was the entire stage

Super Mario Galaxy 2 is my favorite video game of all time, and Cosmic Cove is a huge factor of it. When I first beat the game around 12 years ago, I somehow missed this galaxy entirely and just found it long after I beat the final boss. The fact that after this long series of awesome galaxies I had just missed one that knocked all the other ones out of the park (at least for me) solidified this game as perfect in my brain, and it stayed like that till today. When I replay SMG2 I still reserve this galaxy for myself as the last one.

@@andreamenicatti1029 There are a lot of lack luster planets in the game, more specifically, those tiny floating planets in some of the less condensed galaxies that serve little to no purpose for any of the stars.

Very hot take: Slimy Spring Galaxy is my favorite out of both games. I think it’s really unique. I love the feel of it and the gameplay. And there’s something about the ending that I just absolutely adore. Perfect galaxy in my opinion.

God the mere sight and hearing the names of all the Mario Galaxy 2 galaxies brought back so many memories I forgot I had. Seeing galaxies I visited so often during my childhood, remembering how damn hard the slide was for me at the time I played it, like god even just seeing the gameplay of it I can hear the background music to every last one playing in my head. Seeing something that have me joy all those years ago really makes me miss those days... Thanks for bringing back my memories of the game dude, it makes me really happy to know they're still within me after all these years...

[@MRNART2]

Slimy Spring is CRIMINALLY low. Easily top ten without even thinking about it.

[@chemicalfuzzy]

I hated Slimy Spring as a kid-swimming was stressful and hard as heck, so a _level_ full of it??? I should try and replay it though. Still don’t like really swimming, but I remember liking the atmosphere of swimming levels.

[@dan_neal]

I completely agree. Slimy Spring had the best atmosphere in the game by far; coming out of the cave into the beautiful plains area with the glowing orange sky felt triumphant.

Masters quest is a mod for the galaxy which is a supper buffed version of a level called the perfect run in grandmaster galaxy.

[@rangefromtblt4047]

My favorites are Buoy Base Galaxy and Space Storm Galaxy! Even though you didn't rank them that high, I do agree with your commentary. Thanks for acknowledging the GREATNESS of Buoy Base Galaxy's music! ❤💙💚💜 It surely sounds MAGNIFICENT and to be honest, I think that might also be a huge reason why I love the galaxy so much in its whole as well. I mean, I also like the lay-out of the galaxy, but yes, the star with the Torpedo Ted and Bullet Bill was that pretty short. Even so, I did like the level in which you had to climb the Buoy Base itself a lot, so even if it wasn't the galaxy with the longest levels, I did enjoy it very much (and kind of still do, whenever I listen to its music). 😀😀😀😀 Space Storm Galaxy isn't that high on the list either, but it's not bad. And you called it "a really great galaxy", which made me happy instantly, so you deserve that like of mine! 👍👍👍👍 I myself love the music of this galaxy too. 🎶🎶🎶🎶 The second level of Space Storm Galaxy literally was some sort of remake of Buoy Base Galaxy's. This made me have a mind-blow, because I had chosen those galaxies to be my favorites even BEFORE I had gotten to the second level of Space Storm Galaxy. 😲😲😲😲 I guess Buoy Base Galaxy and Space Storm Galaxy just must've gotten the same ENERGY for exactly those two to appear in the same galaxy! 😎😎😎😎
