Whoa thats exactly what happened to me today! I revisited mario galaxy 2 recently and it must've brought back memories of 1. I remember spending like 2 hours reading that story lol. I read it multiple times ofc.

[@covanb6948]

You can hear sound in your dreams?

[@princesscadance197]

@Covan B Dreams are a complicated mess to explain. I’ve heard it explained as dreams being the nonsensical byproduct of our minds encoding the memories of the previous day into Long-Term Memory so it requires less effort to recall those memories, later. Dreams just being the random, nonsensical byproduct of that process. So it wouldn’t surprise me if sound, or the illusion of sound was a possibility.

[@blueinsunlight]

Okay, literally nobody cares, but I need to say this somewhere. When I was in 2nd grade, my mom would play this game after dinner. I remember eating Oreos and watching her and I remember being so excited just to watch her play this game every night. I would get really upset when she wouldn't play it. And I remember playing it too. I never really made it that far though- usually I'd just go onto it on my mom's profile and read the storybook. It's been almost 5 years since then and we don't do stuff like that anymore. But recently, my little cousin has started excitedly watching me play games whenever I see him and I'm reminded of how happy it made me when I did the same. This song means a lot to me because it reminds me of something that never failed to make my smile.

[@memoirsofannie]

Rill Gacha our stories are so similar! my mum finished this game. i always used to watch her play it in wonder and whenever i played i would run around the ship and watch the storybook instead of actually playing. i’m now 13 years old and listen to this song on the regular. it still makes me cry every time. much love 💕

[@nanoma6075]

"She's sleeping under the tree on the hill!" When I first read that line as a little kid I didn't understand what it meant, nor did I understand the weight behind it. I seriously thought she wanted to go home to her mother who was just taking a nap under the tree. This game was everything to me when I was young. I didn't have many friends as a kid, so I normally stuck around at home and convinced my dad to play with me. He bought me a Wii and Mario Galaxy for Christmas; right around that time though, he started working a lot more and couldn't be around as much. He told me to go outside, talk to the kids across the street, make some friends. I was too scared to do it, and to be completely honest I was content without friends anyway. I mean, it's hot outside, other people can be hard to communicate with, why would I want to deal with any of that? I had everything I needed in our living room. I played Super Mario Galaxy as often as I could, sometimes forgoing meals and sleep because I was so excited and invested in what was going on. In Jacob Geller's words, "It's hard to be bored when you're whisked off to a totally different place every couple minutes." As invested as I was in going to every galaxy and grabbing every star, I was surprisingly just as invested in Rosalina's storybook. I would sometimes go into the library and just sit and listen to this song for as long as I could. It was a place to rest, some time to relax before shooting off into space again. "She's sleeping under the tree on the hill!" When I first read that line as a little kid I didn't understand what it meant, nor did I understand the weight behind it. I seriously thought she wanted to go home to her mother who was just taking a nap under the tree. I ended up playing awhile longer after that storytime session, and probably around midnight went to bed. I was laying there and thinking about Mario, running around in space, doing whatever he wanted, when I remembered the storybook, and that line out of nowhere. I thought about it for awhile, and just before I faded into sleep, I realized that Rosalina's mother was dead. Rosalina never being able to see her mother again reminded me that I hadn't seen my dad in awhile. It made me think about what I'd feel like if I never got to see him again. I cried myself to sleep that night, and dreamt of this soft and relaxing tune. As funny as it sounds, a Super Mario game taught me to cherish life, and to cherish the ones I loved before their time ran out.

I know a variant of how you feel. My dad passed away 3 (going quickly on 4) years ago. Sometimes it feels like yesterday. As for wether or not you will recover, here is what I think: it only gets easier if you let it. Grieve, yes. Wallow, no. Wallowing only hurts you more. Only let it out when you feel it coming and do not force anything out. Dad taught me many things, and not to wallow is one of the most important, especially now. I hope this helps you.

It's innocence, it's melancholy, it's youthful, but it provides that hint of sorrow that comes with growing up and leaving childhood behind. I can hear a hint of hope for the future but it's drowned out by my own perception of life. What a song. What a very good song.

It seems like yesterday when I first heard this song. Like every other kid in America that year I got this game along with the Wii system the Christmas it came out. I was so happy but it was getting late by the time we got around to playing Mario Galaxy. I mean between everyone else opening presents, setting up the Wii, making our Mii's and playing Mario Kart. It was almost midnight. And at that point in my life I was very bad at staying up late so when it got to this song in the intro I almost fell asleep under the Christmas tree! It's such a beautiful, beautiful memory.

"SHE'S SLEEPING UNDER THE TREE ON THE HILL!" When I was younger, I didn't understand that line. I thought she was just asleep. Now, I come back to it. I read the line. I hear this. And it all hits me like a freight train. I remember how I was back then. I didn't worry about anything. I wasn't scared of anything. But that's because I didn't understand anything. I feel the scars on my arm. They're tingling now. They know I'm sad. They know I don't want them to be there. I know I don't want to exist in this "now", this living hell. I want to go home. I've always wanted to go home. I'd just forgotten that. For a long, long time.

[@ricardogiorgi7854]

This song is simple but carries so much emotion. Your comment made me realise that this music makes us feel the warmth and peace (I don't know how to describe this feeling with the right words) of a home, without problems, pressure or anything of the sort. Thinking about this makes me cry a lot too. And it makes me think about Aurora's song, runaway, some lines in particular and the "take me home, take me home where I belong. I got no other place to go."

The story and song hit you way harder when you get older... replaying the game, it was all as good as I remember, but when I got to this again... it was one of the only times I ever cried in a video game.

I heard a story a long while ago, of a little girl who happily lived among a loving, caring family. Her parents named her Luma after the star in this very game, because it was what brought her parents together. As she grew older, so did her bond to her family through the game. The soundtrack was like the breeze of a calm Sunday morning, and the warmth of snuggling with a loved one. She played it lots. Time still went on, and her mother and father died in a car crash, going to their anniversary dinner. Luma refused to pick up the game she once cherished beyond her heart's content in fear of reliving what brought them so close. From the box in which the game was kept, it seemed that world was growing around it. She forgot about the game and the memories she loved so much before. But one day, after kindly being adopted, she looked through the box, and found the simple game at the very bottom. It was covered in dust and was worn. Luma decided to try out the game she forgot about. Once she heard this song, she would then cry for hours on end. The memories of living life with her family and bonding through the beautiful soundtrack hit her like a wrecking ball. She missed the old days, yet hated her parents for leaving her. She never got to finish the story like her parents promised they would. She would love them for all her years to come. And Luma hoped that one day, when her time had come too, that she would be welcomed among the stars, and get the chance to finish the story.

This song reminds me of when i was a kid and my uncle used to play Super Mario Galaxy almost every night after dinner. Even going so far as to sit and read Rosalina's story to me. Me still being a kid at this time i didnt understand what any of it meant but it sat right witg me from the first word. It's been 11 years since then and going back and reading the storybook makes me realise that Rosalina lost her mother just like i lost the same uncle thay used to read the story to me. Fortunately they're "sleeping under the tree on the hill" but it always hits hard giving me memories of how my childhood uses to be: careless, fun. It was heaven. Better yet it was home and it was amazing. Now hearing this im crying uncontrollably. I just want to go back to the times where there was no worry at all, where i could smile for no reason. I want to go home...

[@mcdudley]

This is one of the most touching pieces of super mario EVER.

(Including the storyline)

[@traelcutter5934]

I dont normally cry over movies, or games, or shows or anything, normally a bit of sadness but that's that. I've tried to strengthen myself as a person cause I used to be a sobbing mess as a kid. This theme dunno what it is, maybe it makes me think of myself when I was really young, or it's sad, emotional vibe, but it really... this theme really makes me feel something.

[@adielisaigomezcarrillo7925]

I can say that this game is extremely beautiful, I still remember the days, afternoons and nights when I played my Nintendo Wii with my father, we used to be happy with so few things, I miss all that.❤

[@Lemonade_124]

"Pero sé que ella no está allí, ¡Mi madre no puede estar junto a las estrellas! Es imposible... Imposible porque... ¡Está durmiendo bajo el árbol de la colina" Seis añazos y aún sigue haciéndome llorar esa parte.

[@sebaazul94]

No creo que haya una línea mas dolorosa en los juegos de nintendo y obviamente de Mario que esa... El perder a una madre ya es lo peor pero ni siquiera haber podido despedirte de ella??? Pobre Rosalina 😢

[@dmcgrath8308]

(To be honest I did the same thing as some of you did, I was tearing up the first time that I have ever heard the song in the game) This song is both beautiful and sad, but that mostly depends on what situation that it is played in. In my opinion, this song is 100% beautiful!

[@BennoLenno]

This hits me hard. My grandpa has fought cancer for years and now more weak than ever he has been an estimated time left alive to be just over a month. My biggest fear is him missing out on christmas one last time. My memories ever since I was a child is overwhelming

[@dolphingamer2496]

Sorry to bother and maybe it's a little impolite, but did your Grandfather get to Experience Christmas for the last time? I Hope so but I understand you I've lost Several Family Members and whenever I Hear this Song I Remember them and I feel that they are close by

[@BennoLenno]

@@dolphingamer2496 Hey, no worries. He did actually. And also new year. He then passed away January 5th 2020. So yeah. I'm happy we got that final time with him.

[@ravena.d.1466]

I had that song in the head all afternoon and it helped me fall asleep, ah, so much good memories of a beautiful game that I might've not played in a while, but still hold inside my heart. Rosalina's story is just too emotive i can't- I'll just put it on loop for another two hours TwT **cries in beautiful calm music**

[@drawingwithboba8481]

Anyone still sad over his death?

[@thefrogzilla2]

The first time I read this when I was a kid, I cried. For a long time. I had to go hug my parents because I was so upset by this story. This game wasn't just another Mario platformer. This game was an actual experience. It still is my favorite game of all time.

[@InfamousJJ420]

Why'd you have to go, Iwata?

[@snsskksksks]

the game that most marked my childhood was the Mario galaxy and this song gives me a nostalgia that makes me smile every day thanks for reminding me of this memory

[@jasmineyoshi4311]

Love this song used to play it, wears out my stress, and also makes me happy. I have NOT been happy in forever so now every time i listen to this song, i get happy!!! ☺. Now im finaly in peace!!!!🙏

[@slandracon3853]

My first and last Mario game, and I still remember all of the joy I had. Especially in the library. This song brings back so many good memories, I'll never forget it.

[@SeventheSquib]

When I listened to this song for the first time, I immediately cried. I had no idea what could’ve been so unique about this song that it could move me to tears at any given time, sometimes even just thinking about it. After listening to it again and again, I finally realized why. When others listen to it, the song may bring them comfort and consolation. But somehow, when I heard it, I felt pain. So much pain and grief it was almost too much to take in all at once. And again I asked myself, “why?” It’s because there’s something about the silence in the background of the song. Notice that it’s just a music box, playing the higher part that you hear the most, and some lower notes in the background of the song. That’s it. It makes it feel so… empty to me. Emptiness isn’t a bad thing at all to portray in a song, and I’m not saying it’s a bad song at all. It’s actually really important to me because of how empty it feels. I’ve lost my favorite people over and over again until there’s no strength in me left to even try to make connections with anyone. To me, this song is the tune of someone who’s lost everything. Someone who’s world is so desolate and empty that it breaks their heart. And that’s the feeling I’ve never been able to express with words, until I heard this song. Thank you, Nintendo, and anyone reading this.

[@MrDrSkittle]

Never in my entire life has a video game song made me cry as much as this.. It makes me wanna bawl my eyes out..

[@loading...948]

Who would ever want to hate on a song this peaceful, calm, and touching!?!😢😭😣

[@syrupmask2133]

Gotta love the sound of the Wii running in the background

[@NaxoJUMP]

I need to share this. My little pet bunny passed away just yesterday, January 1st 2021. I will always remember that whenever she was scared or stressed for something I would play this song to soothe her. Those used to be the most wholesome moments I had with her, but now those memories bring me pain the likes I've never felt before. This song will always remind me of her, wherever she is now I hope she is happy and eating plenty of the carrots she loved. Love your pets people, take care of them, you never know when they will go away of your side leaving a hole in your heart.

[@carlosvicenteriosparra3082]

Sorry for your loss :"(

[@Whocares158]

No wonder she died. Too many carrots!

[@alwhawk6574]

That’s how I was with my pet dog, died on September 7, 2021, he was the best dog ever, if I ever felt he was anxious I always played a soothing song, he always just drifted to sleep, but one day I just knew something was extra off cause he was shaking uncontrollably, I showed my parents and we had to take him down the next day, now he’s sleeping next to Rosalina’s mom under the tree🤍

[@sebastianhernandezvazquez4922]

One of the most beautiful moments of the game also fun fact:when the game was still on development Rosalina was meant to be of relative of peach but that idea was scrapped though her design reflected that unused idea

[@AokoFgo1]

I shed tears of this song. I've been looking for this song for 6 years when the day I played. I still shed tears.

[@dalipoc1664]

man, my childhood is over realising after watching this video. i remember when i was 6-10 years old and my friends would come over to play the wii, and when they went home i played mario galaxy. i didnt get emotional from it. heck i was 6. but when i come back to it now. i miss 6 year old me when i only had to worry about how much charge my wii remote had and what time it was. rip iwati, rip my childhood.

I got sad the time I read in this book playing the game.

[@cardinals1125]

In Mario Kart 9 they should make a more fast paced version of this song and make a track called Rosalina's Storybook it goes throughout the entire book.

[@soniclovesamygirl]

Kinda clever idea for a one-lap track, but I dunno if this theme goes well with racing.

[@joezelljr]

nuuuuuuu!

[@jasmineyoshi4311]

If this isn't played at my funeral, I'm not coming.

[@ScooseMcGoose]

Earlier today I was playing the storybook section when my younger brother walked in. He and I still talk, but in terms of interests and people, we're on completely different pages. The minute he heard this song playing he ran in and we immediately started reminiscing about when we played the game together around when it came out. The memories just came flooding back and I was surprised that he associated the song with anything at all. Like old times, I handed him the controller after we finished reading the first 2 chapters of the book and he played Ghostly Galaxy, while I was backseat gaming to help him adjust to the new controls. Even if it was just 15 or so minutes, I know I'll remember this for a long time. I just had to document it somewhere, because it's just special. I really hope we can do it again, before he goes to college in a few months.

[@alejo.a451]

I didn't play the game, i don't have any memory related to it nor a sad history about the song, but it just hits right where it hurts, like some old memory that's trying to come back, like trying really hard to get somewhere, i feel so lost about it and yet i can say i wanna cry so bad, there're many things that i can't say or express. But this specific song makes me wanna say it, show it, shout it. Things will get better eventually, i hope so

[@omppuplayz]

I just turned 13 like 18 min ago when writing this sentence. And i loved to play super mario galaxy one and two all the time with my best friend. Now listening to this gave me back those memories and i could not be happier. Thanks 2021.

[@Waifuforlifu]

This is all I could think of when I heard of Iwatas passing.

[@ericbao7740]

I remember getting this book unlocked for the first time. It was a feeling I'll never forget. When I finally got all of the book, I thought it was a bonus quest, but it wasn't. I read her whole story, and back then I made the assumption that she came to the observatory because the lumas brought her there. Now, I thought about it, and realized that there was so much more. The lore to games was something that my grade 2 brain did not understand. However, now that I have a passion for writing stories in general, I realize that a narrative is what carries something like SMG. And the beauty of this game will never be forgotten for me. Grade 2 was so much simpler. But through simple eyes you cannot see the whole story.

If I’m ever wealthy I’m going to build a library in my house that plays this on continuous repeat for eternity.

Do you hear the stars? These newborns will grow up to become galaxies someday. When stars die, they turn to stardust and scatter across the cosmos. Eventually, that stardust reforms to create a new star... and so the cycle of life continues. But never quite the same way... you'll see. All new life carries the essence of stars... even you. And I will watch over you from beyond the stars.

[@joseph543]

Mario galaxy was officialy the first game i played to. When i was 2, i used to play to the same level everytime. Then i attend primary school were i was victim of harassemnt, and i'd stop playing video games, because i was an "overweighted nerd".. recently, at 18, i found my Nintendo sleeping in a lot of dust... I managed to make it work, and the first game i launched was mario galaxy. You cannot imagine how sad i felt when i saw that tiny overweighted me that doesnt exist anymore, that have been killed by all these critises... All the memories with my father that loved theses moments with me. Now, im growing up, and as an adult, i can't do anything with my dad. I didn't find the courage to launch the game again, fearing to die of sadness, again.

A little girl, despite grieving over the loss of her mother, left behind almost she had to help a baby luma find its own mother. She comforted the luma as they travelled alone through space, she slept in a cold ship, made a massive, new home on a clear, little planet, and took in many more lumas. Her grief and loneliness were replaced with joy and comfort. Finally, she had achieved total peace; now, she was a loving “Mama.” Best Character, 10/10. Super Mario Galaxy will always have a very special place in my heart. ❤️😭

[@TheGardiner]

There’s a comment somewhere in here about an veteran who has PTSD-induced nightmares, and his girlfriend played this song and held him close to comfort him. I hope they’re doing well.

[@johnr3940]

The storybook made me cry when I was eight. It wasn’t just the sadness, I was crying because I thought the whole thing was so beautiful. It was the first experience I ever had like that, and I wouldn’t have another that I can remember until my teenage years. For a Mario game to be evoking such emotions in an eight year old, they really did this right

[@jayjayplyz3942]

Goodbye, Charles...

[@mysteriousfigure2683]

The first time it hit me what really happened to the girl’s mother, I sobbed. I cried for probably about 20 minutes straight, I cried because I realized for probably the first time how much it would devastate me to lose one of my parents, I cried because of how much pain the little girl was feeling and there was no true way to comfort her. To this day I can’t listen to this song without getting tears in my eyes, there isn’t much a movie or game can do to make me cry, but this game did it and still does it. The writing for this game is phenomenal and it’s probably my favorite Mario game of all time.
