I am very glad that KZbin recommended you to me and I'm enjoying your content quite a bit! Really good and high-quality stuff!

[@Lowart]

Thanks! I'm happy to hear your enjoying it :)

[@Geckoh2o]

Hey Lowart! I absolutely love these videos and wanted to give a suggestion on the topic of Mario. You mentioned that Nintendo wasn't afraid to stick a little story into Super Mario Galaxy. Well, another game series I think would be amazing to cover would be the Paper Mario series, specifically Paper Mario, TTYD, and Super Paper Mario. I mention these because they are quite refreshing contrasts to typical Mario games that hold some fun stories that are near and dear to my nostalgic heart.

[@Lowart]

Thanks for the suggestion :) I'm currently working on a review series of every Paper Mario game. Right now, I'm making my way through Color Splash, but I have notes and a bit of scripting done for all the games before it. It's still a little ways off, but I'm definitely excited for when I get to release it.

[@Geckoh2o]

@@Lowart That's awesome! I look forward to those reviews, especially for TTYD!

[@RushJet1]

There is another game that had gravity sections like Mario Galaxy; check out Psychonauts's Milkman level. It doesn't have individual spheres but gravity is entirely relative to your position in the world, kind of like Galaxy.

Very solid review, I find this game to be a masterpiece because it has so many amazing ideas that were executed perfectly. The music is one of the greatest soundtracks of all time and is very unique. Its definitely out there for a Mario game which I like. And the presentation of the game is amazing. If this game came out today no one would complain on how it looks. Definitely the best looking Wii game out there.

Everything about Mario Galaxy felt cinematic. They brought the Mario into the space to beat Bowser who has far more villainous plans besides capturing Peach.

[@Notethos]

This is the best review of Galaxy I've ever seen. I would play it again but as I tried playing Skyward Sword with a new tv and sensor bar set up, I won't have the optimal experience again (sadly).

[@caffeinehoyo7504]

I think that Sunshine was supposed to be more a comedic, non-linear (almost) game, while Galaxy took itself more seriously and was a bit more linear. Both are fantastic games, but I just enjoy the tone in Sunshine more, I think it's hilarious.

[@The_One_In_Black]

This sounds to me like 1 issue could have been avoided by integrating the second Bowser fight into the reward structure. Power him up to instakill, put a timer on the fight, and give a single payout of multiple stars and it will feel much more final.

You can also check the map for comets and stuff by talking to the black luma in any of the domes

[@dexterdextrow7248]

I would _belive_ that the reason the comets work as they do is to add excitement by making it feel like more of a event, with the unexpected appearance of a giant glowing comet, paired with a alarm playing. Why can you move the comet? Well, I think that's an attempt to mend the problem with 100% completing the game, wich would obviously be a problem if it was completely random, with no way to affect it.

[@swaggermcjagger4266]

i think nintendo said when odyssey was announced that galaxy-3d world were more linear due to the limited camera capabilities they came with the wii remote setup

[@Lowart]

[@Legoluigi26]

The problem with your purple coin concept is that those challenges are almost always very hard (Luigi's Purple Coins, anyone?), so having them appear early like all the other prankster comets would most likely lead to new players trying them out,getting very frustrated, and potentially giving up on the whole game. A good compromise would be having them unlocked alongside the Garden area.

[@9aracna.]

I'll come back to this video after I play Galaxy

[@HeroTheHedgehog999]

I remember playing this game as a kid. I do remember struggling a lot because Mario was new to me(yes this and New Super Mario Bros DS, NSMBW and 64 DS were the first Mario games I played. I didn’t get far on Galaxy in fact I never beat the game I had some remaining stars in that kitchen dome but I did beat the kitchen dome boss. But I don’t think I’ll be able to finish Galaxy……

[@speckysteven]

Galaxy 1 and 2 are the best games of all time. Not debatable

[@thesoniczone917]

Unpopular Opinion: I don’t like Super Mario Odyssey. It’s not a bad game, but it doesn’t feel as creative as Mario Galaxy. Plus the soundtrack is a bit bland, and it’s WAY to easy. The game doesn’t push you forward and most of the moons come from doing a simple task rather than creative platforming. Mario Odyssey’s limited levels feel very boring to come back to... Galaxy is the opposite of that, which is why I love it. It’s easily my favorite video game.

[@braxdonjohnson1765]

Authorities say that a local Canadian man was trying to cook dinner while playing "Super Mario Galaxy". This is a very strange thing that we've honestly never heard of. "I don't know, man. I was just trying to make spaghetti and next thing I know my kitchen is on fire." Mr. Lowart stated. "At this point I'm more concerned that I won't be able to beat the game and make a video out of it." We were honestly shocked this was his only concern> But I guess sometimes it honestly just be like that. "So what are you going to do about your house?" I asked him trying to see his true priorities. "Man I'll just buy a new one with all that KZbin money I make." he stated. But somehow I'm not sure it's the truth. This is probably the strangest interview I've ever had and I think I'm going to quit my job as a journalist now. This is my official two weeks notice.

I grew up with this game too, and I hate that I allowed myself to have my opinion manipulated by my peers at the time. Back then, it was pretty easy to shit on Nintendo games for being too childish, or saying that Mario games were all the same/ never innovated or did anything interesting. It's very clear that Nintendo goes above and beyond when it comes to making games, even if they're well-established franchises.

Arguably all of the games changed 3d Mario Mario 64 was the first one 64 DS was the first handheld one and the first re-release Sunshine uhhh had Fludd Mario Galaxy made it more linear Mario Galaxy 2 introduced... making the same game but with different levels 3d Land was just 2d mario in 3d 3d world had new powerups and co-op Odyssey had cappy.

[@bloemkoolendestreetgang450]

Just throwing a random nitpick out there, one thing i was not a particular fan of in galaxy was the fire flower powerup. It has a short timer with quite annoying and interrupting music, and it doesnt feel good to control, as mario also just stops in his tracks for each fireball he throws and there is quite a long cooldown between fireball throws

[@jaretco6423]

Yeah. For finally making it's first appearance in an 3D Mario game, it is pretty underwhelming. Thankfully 3D Land & 3D World fixes that.

[@brianj7204]

I want to say that Mario galaxy was ahead of its time, but thats not really true. Recent games are evolving, just backwards (unless you play god of war :3)

[@megasoniczxx]

Super Mario Galaxy has always been one of those games that I wish I could like but I can't. One reason for that is because of Mario's movement, it isn't bad, in fact it's probably as good as it was ever going to get for a game like this but it just feels boring especially when you're fresh off 64 and sunshine which not only have movement with more flow to them but also let's you use all of that in combination to glide through levels and the way you approach those levels changes over time because your knowledge of the movement mechanics greatly affects how you play them. The second is that while I can acknowledge that the levels themselves are well designed they feel very rigid in the way that they are designed and to be fair this is how I feel about a lot of the mario platformers after this one sans Odyssey. I t's just a very hard game for me to get into and it sucks because every time I look at this game I want to play it and then when I play it I want to immediately play something else.

[@MrMarinus18]

The difference is that 64 and Sunshine are much faster and tighter in animation while Galaxy is pretty lose. The jump and fall speeds in Galaxy are also really slow. However with all the tricky platforming and awkward angles that is kind of needed. Having controls like Sunshine would just make Galaxy very exhausting and frustrating since just one wrong press or one wrong move will get you killed. Since you're platforming at weird angles it isn't instantly obvious what direction to press so they made the controls more lose and forgiving to compensate.

[@jaretco6423]

Personally, I didn't mind Galaxy's control being an little slow paced cause I found the controls in Galaxy alot tighter than 64 & Sunshine. It's more responsive, the execution u can do works nice, the motion controls works great and the levels don't always demand to be more precise & the way it's design holds up well. Whereas in 64 & Sunshine it's completely opposite. Yeah. The movements is faster. But it doesn't make the controls or platforming designs any better. They're so janky & slippery, the camera is awful, the physics & collision on platforming is off and the levels themselves don't always blend well because of how piss poor the design choices were. Sometimes you'll be running into things u weren't supposed to do and u don't stop after jumping. You'll just move up to like 3 feet in which can cause you to fall off or get hit by and that isn't good design. I think Odyssey does it the best in terms of how an fast paced controls in an open sandbox/collecthon 3D Mario game works. But even that has it's own issues from an different topics. So yeah. Sorry, but I don't agree.

In my opinion Mario Galaxy is Nintendo’s best work when it comes to the series it’s epic and fun to play and it has the best soundtrack by far in the series. Shame Odyssey wasn’t as good.

[@toganium4175]

Galaxy without motion controls = perfection.

[@j.r.1704]

I’m really glad to hear a more objective take on Galaxy after hearing EVERYONE praise this game to death. I’m not a big fan of Galaxy mainly because of the gripes pointed out in this video. It has its strengths of course I agree with that, but the negatives really big down the experience for me. I really agree here with the improvements that could’ve been made, like having more exploration in levels and A LOT less expository dialogue before levels. Kills the pace, changing that would be a big game changer.

[@callinater6133]

Honestly, I feel exploration is when galaxy is at its worst. Mario’s moveset in galaxy isn’t built around getting around large explorable areas. It simply wouldn’t be as fun as sunshine or 64 which had more versatile movesets. Galaxy’s more stripped back and tighter controls fit linear platforming challenges better imo.

Great video but I really had a bad time playing this game I just don’t call this game a masterpiece
