You don't understand this kind of stuff as a kid because you're so insensitive, you just see Rosalina as the woman you go see to get another mission. But seeing it when you're older makes you realise how much of their heart and soul Nintendo put into this game to make it an absolute masterpiece.

[@Ken93Cy]

So true!!! Back when I was a young teen (15-16 years old and played this game), I just skipped this story because I found it "boring"!! But now I am 24 and decided to go through the story again after all those years. and see what I missed........................................Weeeeeeeeelllllll let's just say (what all the people say when they watch Ash get turned into stone in the first pokemon movie).

“She’s sleeping under the tree on the hill” it hits you like a bullet when you realize what it meant in a franchise where dying is falling in lava and having more attempts at it it’s kind of spooky that a character is gone forever.

9:00 when the music stopped my heart just sank. It’s probably the saddest part of the whole story because the whole story is about Rosalina and how she became a mom to the Luma’s and how her planet was made and this scene in particular reveals that her mother died and wants her back so desperately and wants to see her and hear her voice and to hear her say “I love you” and she wants to go back to earth to see her and relive her memories but like Luma said to Rosalina later in the story “she’s a part of you so she’ll always be with you” meaning the spirit of her mom with never be forgotten and she can always remember the happy times she had with her

Hi everyone, I know this comment might be 7 years late, lol! During this quarantine I've questioned suicide, like whats the point of life anymore. I always loved playing mario games, but I haven't touched my wii since 2013. Last week I was playong Mario odyssey and remembered this story, I opened mario galaxy and remembered all the great memories I had on this beautiful game. All the new power ups, all the excitement, but this story, taught me something. Cherish everything and everyone. This story is the reason I am still alive right now. Luma touched my heart, giving up his life to make Rose happy, I finished the game in 3 days last week, and was sad when i finished it. The beginning also made me cry. I remember the first day I hought the game 😭😭. It was 2010 i was 4 years old. I was at costco with my mom and i saw the game, amd these were my words, "mommy its mario, cam we get it?" We ended up buying it and its a chouce I will never forget. I took my moms phone and called my brother right away. I remember the night, it was a warm evening. Me and brither caught the bunnies and were so excited. I went to sleep with my favorite toad stuffie that night. Last night I pulled out that same toad plush, and held it close to my heart. Im 14 now and still love anything to do with mario, it has been a whole decade now that i think of it. 10 years of fun, joy, adventures. Consoles of all sorts. The wii, wii u, ds, 3ds, and the switch, i even have a gamecube. But the wii, the wii will always be cherished to me, I almost sold it last year causd I needed money to but something, I am so happy now that I didn't. I have no put in from my living room into my bedroom and cant stop playing the classics. Mario galaxy, mario broz, mario kart, mario party, the list goes on, I hope anyone who reads this enjoys my story, dont be afraid to leave a like.

When Lumas die, they leave something behind that makes the universe that little bit nicer. They’re always happy to give that contribution, even if they don’t get to see the result of it for themselves. With humans, with us, it’s less literal but no less true. Rosalina’s mom may have died, but it’s evident that Rosalina loved and cherished her while she was alive. Everything she taught Rosalina about being a mother helped her to raise the Lumas, who in turn went on to help others. The Comet Observatory, every launch star and comet that helps Mario on his journey, can all be traced back to Rosalina’s mother. Death is still something I struggle to come to terms with. But knowing that the people who will remember can carry on some piece of me, that they’ll touch the lives of others and be carried on too, it makes me feel a little bit better about it.

You usually only see this emotional storytelling from Mario in the RPGs (ESPECIALLY Super Paper Mario). But Super Mario Galaxy isn't a spinoff, this is in the core Super Mario platforming series. To have such a heavy topic as the death of a parent in the same series as Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, etc., is almost mind-bending. Super Mario Sunshine gives us that fake-out death with FLUDD, but that game's acting is so goofy it's hard to take seriously as an adult, and he's fine afterwards, so whatever. New Super Mario Bros. has Bowser reduced to a skeleton, but it's more disturbing than emotional, and he's revived at the end anyways, so whatever. Rosalina left her family behind, saw her mother buried under a tree, and is NEVER EVER going to see them again. Even if you believe in the afterlife, Rosalina's basically a space goddess by now, caretaker of the Lumas. She never got to say goodbye to her mother and never ever will.

[@Lalo-uu4dg]

You know, I realize that Young Rosa was in a moral dilemma when she first thought of going to space. On one hand, if she chooses to go to space to find Luma's mother, she would have to leave behind her brother and father, not knowing when she will go back to earth. On the other hand, if she chooses to stay, the Luma would be depressed because he'll never see his mother ever again. In the end, she chose to go space, costing her remaining time to live with her family, and by the time she visits her planet again (presumably after a 100 years if we're following her 100-year visit tradition) everyone she knew were gone. To add salt to the injury, the brother and father must have had been depressed that another family member was gone after Rosa's mother passed away at a young age and wished that they could see Rosa once more before they died. Another possibility is that maybe her little brother must have had felt she abandoned them as they noticed that some stuff was missing such as the telescope and tea cups. He must have had resented her since then. Guess this storybook, while being simple, can make me question a lot about the story.

14 years after this game came out, this is still one of the only things that can make me cry as a near 20 year old. It's so painfully yet peacefully melancholic.

@@jacobvanantwerp2001 me 2 its just so beautiful and like its true i was terrified what would happen when my parents die but after reading this while playing the game i just stopped and wondered what would happen i was no longer scared just thinking who else would love me and care for me? And now literally 12 years later i found out ill have many other family members who will love me im like crying in my head so hard right now

What makes me cry isn't just her sorrow, but the twofold sorrow of her father and brother who she left behind. It's too much. ;_;
