Super Mario Galaxy is a 3d adventure platform game published for Nintendo Wii. I have been a Mario fans for a long time. Super Mario Galaxy is the third 3D platform in Mario family. Actually people who played Super Mario 64 before will find Mario Galaxy has reflection of Mario 64, however I still want to say, this version is deeply shake me.
Story still follows the story line Mario needs to save Princess Peach who is kidnapped by Bowser. For Mario fans, this is might be de golden rule that Mario is born to save princess. The different is that this time, the story happen in outer space, Mario need to collect star power to save princess. As the new saturation, Mario did not know where he is. With the help of Rosalina who is a mysterious woman on a small planet.
Promotion of graphic is a big step. Ok, we are not going to compare wii’s graphic with PS3 and Xbox games which focuses on graphic; I am here to talk about the frame and the feeling of control old Mario 3D versions (Mario64 or Mario sunshine). Bright colors for texture and no delay for control is really worth to play.

Music, the story teller in Galaxy is a miracle for the game. Hand drawing with orchestral music made players feeling that they are in a Fairy World. When the places are changed to outer space, symphony appears. The orchestral music and symphony appear alternately and how can you stop playing this game?
Talk about control, Galaxy not only continues the traditional movements but also increase the new elements like whirling attack. As we all know Wii is the first use Wii Remote for game play. And in Galaxy, we also need to combine Wii Nunchuk to move Mario. Personally I would like to call them nunchaku. Galaxy not requires using nunchaku excessively. The traditional movements no need to use nunchaku, only when player needs to whirling attack, collect crystals ,aim and shoot the nunchaku work, this make control easily instead of complex operate.
Get rid of gravity, Galaxy fully use the space in game. You can have adventure on both side of each planet. This feature is new in Mario and really dynamic.
For character and character skill, Galaxy also adds some new elements to it. In Galaxy, beside Mario invincibility star, jumping and run fast, Boo suit and Spring Suit give new abilities to Mario. Of course the traditional fire flower which can make Mario throw fire ball first appeared in Mario 3D version. Galaxy also add ice flower into game. People who are used to Mario’s old skills will come back to try the new skill. Galaxy Full performs dynamic character principle in game design.
Game replay able is designed perfect in Galaxy. In the same level, Galaxy has different way to collect stars instead of go the same way. These different ways might be provided by a random comet that gives player a hard challenge or a letter from partners who is helping to find stars. Even more, if players feed special Lumases crystals, they can give Mario a new adventure direction.
Personally, I do not care people said how advance PS3 or Xbox are, I think good game need to make player feel fun, I got fun in Galaxy, I think it is a good game for me, really fantastic~~
