Is Super Mario Galaxy 2 a Bad Sequel?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
- Super Mario Galaxy is easily one of the best games ever made, and to follow up it's success, Nintendo released a sequel less than 3 years later under the title of Super Mario Galaxy 2. On it's own, this game is no doubt an incredibly fun experience, but does it hold it up a sequel? That's the question I try to answer in this Super Mario Galaxy 2 retrospective. Enjoy!

galaxy 1 and 2 are the creative peak of mario, we need something groundbreaking like this for the next mario game
Exactly I hope the next game is as good or better
@SkyLight119 to you maybe, to me, lived up to its expectations and more
@SkyLight119 How was it a disappointment? 🤨
Creative peak? Odyssey blows this gimmick shite out of the water
@@user-vi4xy1jw7e he doesnt know, he just watched that one video by the guy who said its no masterpiece and has sheeped every other sheep who watched the same video
Galaxy 2 is not a bad game, not in the slightest! But there is just a magical feeling thats missing in this game that the first game did have though. Galaxy 2 is just more optimized for gameplay, meaning you get to blitz trough the levels. And while the designs get more creative, the first game was more about exploring.
For real i played galaxy 2 then 1 and galaxy 1 feeled alone
Galaxy 1 had the better atmosphere and story imo
As someone who only played this and never the first game, can't comment
Galaxy 2 is basically the first game but if you were to trade the atmosphere and story for even better gameplay thanks to the World Map allowing you to get into levels faster, better level design and power ups. While I can absolutely see why others wouldn't like this change, I for one am all for it. I still think Galaxy 1 is a masterpiece, but I definitely prefer its sequel.
Agreed and I like what they did with the hub area. The star ship mario was just so charming and even though it was small it just worked well imo
Imo SMG1 had slightly better level design. Less linearity and more sandbox overall. But I could see why you’d prefer SMG2’s level design, which had many more gimmicks, power-ups, gravity antics.
Kinda cap, we got more mechanics and power ups in the 1st game then this
Luma (P2) being that much better in SMG2 makes it impossible to play SMG1 for me as Luma.
i always found it annoying going from dome to dome when you can just "fast travel". also, as a minor thing not needing to confirm save after every star is also a bit more convenient
I think galaxy 2 still has a lot of atmospheric galaxies, like Slimy Spring or Cosmic Cove. Yeah, its not as much as the first game, but I think it's pretty cool how Galaxy 2 sort of blended the atmosphere from galaxy with the classic and happy mario atmosphere.
Slimy Spring is one of the most beautiful Mario levels ever, wish we saw more like it
Cosmic cove is so wonderful. The atmosphere is fantastic.
Prediction. He's going to say it's not a bad sequel
We need a Galaxy 3. I would live to return to this series once again
Yes. Odyssey isn’t a Galaxy game. It’s not quite the same; we need a Super Mario Galaxy 3!!
I would love if they announced it for a launch title for the switch 2
Absolutely. Best video games ever
As much as we would all love that, it’s highly unlikely as 1) it’s been 14 years and 2) the second game was only made because of some elements such as Yoshi that didn’t make it into the first game.
FRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Wow, I watched your Super Mario Galaxy video just yesterday. Great timing!
In my opinion, Super Mario Galaxy 2 is the better game mechanically. However, Super Mario Galaxy is great for an amalgamation of things. The atmosphere, soundtrack and story were just as important as the gameplay to make Super Mario Galaxy what it is and, aside from the OST, the sequel lacks in these departments. I don't even feel in space while playing Super Mario Galaxy 2.
In any case, it's still a very good game.
I highly disagree though; I think music im Galaxy 2 is better and I love its atmosphere more than 1 for how happy and classicy it feels. I agree quite a bit that the story is... story. But in all honesty, Galaxy 2 does have the best level design across the mainline mario games. Especially with how well executed the end game is with its green stars.
Inshort, I think 2 is the best game in the series (my fav game of all time) with how gameplay go so far where it kinda lacks with story and such.
Note: while I think music is better, it is very subjective. Same thing with atmosphere.
@@CassiusTheSecond I can respect your opinion on the atmosphere, although I disagree and find the space theme of the first game to be miles better and more grandiose. But in no way I’m going to say that the level design here is the best in the series. It’s not beating Super Mario World or even Super Mario 3D World
@@lonecom685 Fair enough! To each their own!
I actually think the intro of Galaxy 2 is quite genius. You start off in 2D to reflect Mario's last adventure most likely being Super Mario Bros.Wii or just mainline Mario games usually being 2D. It's peaceful at first but then as you make your way to Peach's castle you see Bowser has taken control of it, almost as if you are discovering it for yourself once you make it there instead of the game telling you through a cutscene. It's a genuine surprise. In 2D Mario games you never run around Peach's castle, it's just kinda there, so once you make it to the castle the 3D element is introduced to let you know this is gonna be a 3D Mario adventure. I think calling the opening uninspired is missing a lot of the symbolism actually used in it. And while Galaxy 1's opening was beautiful and iconic I always felt it lacked a bit of color, something Galaxy 2 kinda fixes by using more popping colors. Galaxy 1 also makes it look like the mushroom kingdom is on a small planet, not really being faithful to how it looks in other games, but Galaxy 2 fixes that by making it actually look like the mushroom kingdom which makes it truly feel like you are stepping from the mainline mario games universe into a interstellar adventure, where in Galaxy 1 it kinda feels like it was always in a different universe than other mario games cause of how it looked. Galaxy 1's opening is definitely still better cause of how grand and beautiful it is, but Galaxy 2's opening does a lot more than you'd think at first and improves certain elements as well.
14:31 this galaxy implies that Mario went to space to get to this level in Mario64
Your videos are some of the most well put together that I’ve seen on the platform. I’m sure you’ll be huge one day man keep up the amazing work ❤
Super Mario Galaxy 2 was the first 3D Mario game I’ve ever played when I was a kid. Even to this day I still enjoy this masterpiece. The amazing creativity each of the galaxies have, the memorable boss fights and the ability to collect all the green power stars at the end just make this game so memorable and amazing. Though, I do agree with the lack of the cinematic cutscene we got in the beginning of the game unlike Galaxy 1, I still enjoy and love this game to this day, it’s truly a masterpiece that NEEDS a remastered treatment for the Nintendo Switch.
The green stars were such an awesome touch that put Galaxy 2 a bit higher in regard for me than its predecessor. But man, that final scene with the lumas in Galaxy 1 sacrificing themselves still leaves a mark on me 16 years later. What a beautiful addition
thanks for ruining super mario galaxy for me. i just started playing it. and only insane people expect ending spoilers as one of the top comments on a video game that doesn't even regard the one being discussed in the video.
Um, if you have not played through the whole thing, why are you watching a video that revolves on the sequel to begin with? second, spoilers are Everyware, so it's best not to look up any media on a game or even a sequel of that same media because it's bound to happen, common knowledge @@ianswift3521
@@ianswift3521cry about it
@@ianswift3521but it's not a good reason to read the comments
one of my favorite gameplay of this game happens to be Yoshi's infinite flutter glitch, and this glitch can break the difficulty of certain stars, and especially the green stars.
This is my 2nd favorite Mario game. It was a massive shame that it wasn't included in 3d all stars
It really should have been to match the original All-Stars having four games and considering it's one of the four original collect-a-thon games. Then add Odyssey later to match the original coming out with a version that included Super Mario World. Call it Super Mario 3D All-Stars + Odyssey.
I believe the only way we'll see another Mario Galaxy series in this generation if it's called "Super Mario Returns to Galaxy." That would be incredible.
I remember when I first played super Mario galaxy when I was nine years old with my first puppy. He would stare at the beach level in the kitchen section in Rosalina home. It was his favorite part. 12 years later I played it on my switch in front of my elder dog one more time at the beach level he loved and started to wag his tail. It was the most wholesome last time we had together.
The green stars alone make me prefer it. So much more to do since the postgame is not just the same game with Luigi
I agree with a lot of what you said but a couple of places where we deviate:
1. Yes, Mario Galaxy 2 has less story and atmosphere but I don't find it disappointing. I think it's a great tradeoff. 1 has more emotion and complete story, 2 has more fun levels. The linear world map I'm ok with but I guess I like linear things more than most. I like seeing how close I am to the end of something as motivation to keep going. And it also seemed like they knew we had gone through the emotional wringer of the first one and made it clear they were not looking to do that again, just wanted us to enjoy the cool new levels, and I'm fine with that. Don't get me wrong, the emotion of the first game really moved me, but I didn't need it in the sequel, and I realize it's rare to put that in a Mario game, so I'm used to not judging Mario games based on that.
2. I am not a fan of the final Bowser fight. I think in a final boss fight there are 2 major components: presentation and actual challenge. Often games will use a masterful presentation to hide the fact that the boss is easy as fuck. And I think that's what happened here. Yes, it did look really cool, don't get me wrong. But it was painfully easy. I felt no sense of challenge at all trying to kill Bowser, just the illusion of challenge. And yes, the battle style was creative, but it couldn't make up for the lack of challenge to me. Bowser was also kind of easy in the final boss fight in SMG1 but I felt like you were usually still going to die a few times first, especially if you took victory for granted. In this one, I'm not sure I ever die when facing Bowser, it feels like a joke, and I feel like it undermines the grand presentation of the fight. I was kind of hoping you would have at least mentioned in passing how easy the fight was.
But I think your main points I totally agree with. It's not a bad sequel and it's a tremendous game. It could have done more story/atmosphere wise. I'm not sure it needed to to make me happy but yeah, it could have made it more special had they put in the extra effort to craft a more complete story. And maybe that is worth talking about. Maybe this game could have been one to bring us to tears too.
I’ve seen lots of people bring up how Galaxy 2’s story isn’t as good as the original’s and I’d just like to say to everyone that it’s the same as the original’s so I have no clue what makes Galaxy 2’s story not as good.
Also the only reason the Star Festival happened again is because of the Universe Reset essentially resetting the Universe thus technically 100 have passed since the first game because the Universe reset.
Also also, I saw somewhere that apparently Lubba was supposed to have a backstory but it got cut I think?
Also also also, currently the closest we have to a backstory for Lubba is the fact that him and Rosalina know each other
galaxy 2: has the greatest level design in any 3d platformer out there
mikester: is it bad?
I do like the effort you put to make sure the wheel is spinning in the correct order (until world 6) 9:43
It took me like 8 years of off and on playing the game before I beat the Perfect Run. When I first did it I had set up my Wii in the living room of the youth facility I lived in, so people could watch me if I wanted to. It felt really anticlimactic realizing it was finally over. I haven't played SMG2 since that day, but I'm thinking of starting a new playthrough soon
"Is Super Mario Galaxy 2 a bad sequel?"
Is the earth flat?
I've never seen Galaxy 2 as a sequel. I've always played both back to back whenever I've gone back to them so it's always felt to, me like it was more the second half of the game.
Same. They seem like two halves to me; whenever I play galaxy, I have to play galaxy 2 since the two games essentially complete each other if you know what I mean.
This is like the Far cry 3 and Far Cry 4 comparison, which 3 focuses on story wise, like Mario Galaxy and 4 focuses in more gameplay aspects and mechanics, like Mario Galaxy 2.
Overall I love both games, and as long I get to have fun, it's all it matters!
As a kid I always thought you _couldn't_ collect the green stars unless you played as Luigi. I later realized, to my dismay, that this isn't the case (you can still get them as Mario), but I like to pretend that its true. Lets call it my own personal head canon.
Just stumbled across your channel the other day, been hooked since and really enjoying your stuff! A lot of people may make this kind of content but you have a unique style to your videos and commentary that really makes you stand out :D
Please don't stop making these videos , I love them!!
Galaxy 2 is my favorite game of all time, but admittedly it's only a sequel in concept. I think they wanted to do a sequel but also needed to make it different, and so they traded in the atmosphere and story of the first game for far expanded upon everything else. The gameplay mechanics, level design, music and difficulty are all cranked up to 11 where all those things (except the music) were more so in the 8-9 range in Galaxy 1. I'd argue that there is still atmosphere, just a completely different one than what Galaxy 1 had. Where Galaxy 1's atmosphere was deep, quiet and peaceful in a way, Galaxy 2 has an energetic and exciting atmosphere that matches all the cool new stuff and ideas that are taking place and honestly this invokes a serious sense of joy and magic when playing the game. It really depends on what kind of person you are as to which you prefer but both are undeniably masterpiece 10/10 games and always will be.
i miss mario games having that whimsical and mysterious feeling galaxy had
from the music to the stage design everything felt so different to any other mario game out and i feel that we need another game similar to it to differentiate it from other platformers/other mario games
Wonder comes out soon, and we're getting 2 RPG remakes
For all the game's faults in terms of storytelling and atmosphere, I just appreciate how Mario Galaxy 2 gave us one of the most batshit insane Bowser fight. That almost looked like something straight out of Bayonetta. It is criminal that this game didn't get included in the 3D All-Stars
No offense man, but are you sure about that final Bowser fight? I've heard people call it one of Bowser's worst final fights because that second phase is way too easy. But I still respect your opinion of course.
The problem is that people online usually view those things through only difficulty, easy - bad, difficult - good, when there's so much more to it.
Difficulty isn’t the only problem imo. Bowser is easy in 1, but that feels like a better final boss because it feels like bowser is pulling all the stops. He utilises most of the skills that you have learnt in game in order to create a boss that feels like a test of your skills. Bowser will turn into one of those rock things that you see in the first level, he’ll turn into a spiky ball which you need to use the green plants to counter and he’ll spin attack you, which you can counter with your own spin. Galaxy 2 doesn’t have this. It’s simply the same fight as before, but with more lasers and fire, which we’ve already seen. The setting is also a big point. In galaxy 1, you’re in the center of the universe. You can see the massive reactor whilst you’re fighting. In galaxy 2, you’re in the same void you were in that last two times. The difficulty is the cherry on the cake here.
There are other factors, like the buildup and payoff, but I’m only focusing on the fight itself here.
It feels more climactic
I would love this series to continue, galaxy 2 is my favourite galaxy 1 just feels like your alone in the middle of no where
23:43 Can we appreciate how well done this part is?
I thought the pacing in mario galaxy was sometimes a bit slow and galaxy 2 fixed it. I love it
How could anyone call something that's literally just more of the original a bad sequel?
I think I’d disagree with the idea that galaxy 2 has no atmosphere or is lacking in it. Rather instead it simply goes for something different. Galaxy 1 has a melancholic and dark (in the literal sense) atmosphere, it takes a more grounded idea of space. While I’d argue that galaxy 2 was simply going for something a bit brighter and more colourful. I think the best way to see the difference is in the box art. Galaxy 1 has the dark backdrop of space while galaxy 2 has a bright blue sky. Furthermore you equate story and level design as equal. While it certainly depends on the game, I’d argue in Mario games in particular the gameplay and level design is far more important. That’s not to say the story of galaxy 1 should have not wait and lack of one in galaxy 2 doesn’t matter, all I mean is I’d argue (as you said yourself) that galaxy 2 has much better levels and improved gameplay which imo is more important than it having a compelling story.
galaxy 2 was my only experience w a galaxy game n i do not regret it ! it's a fantastic & enjoyable ride despite its lesser story . i do wish 2 play its prequel someday
28 minutes to say "no, it's not".
I wouldn't call it a *bad* sequel, just less atmospheric than the first game. I may love Galaxy 1 more, but Galaxy 2 is still a great game 😀
Great video btw 💯💯🔥🔥
Also yeah Lubba being a twist villain would have been awesome 🔥💯🔥💯
I've never met anyone who dislikes this game, everyone I've spoken to has told me it's the best mario game in the series.
Iseriously like starship Mario way more then the comet observery, idk why. It’s just way more charming and I love it so much.
I'd love a new SMG with the Koopalings. I'd also love to see its crazy aesthetics and concepts for a new 2D Mario that's not just sea/desert/forest/sky etc.
hehehe, hearing the song at the end again gave me the hugest bit of goosebumps ive had in ages.
One thing I loved about the first Galaxy is actually how different it was to everything that came before it, but it definitely still felt like a Mario game. Galaxy 2 added back a lot of those elements that weren't in the first one (yoshi, checkpoint flags, the world map, a lot more music tracks from older games than the first game, and literally importing an entire level from 64), and many of the new elements in that game (i.e. those red & blue sided platforms that flip when you spin) became mainstays in future games, making the game feel less special overall. Also, the soundtrack in Galaxy 2 is much more generic and less inspired than the first game. Not to mention that there are a handful of things from the first game that are just not in the 2nd game at all, like the Red Star. The only two times I felt any emotion playing the 2nd game was during Cosmic Cove Galaxy and hearing Bowser's Galaxy Reactor at the end of The Perfect Run.
I feel like your video is in direct response to KingK’s video haha!
The story ain’t like the first but the gameplay and mechancis are some of the best in Mario history
I have a really strong bond with Super Mario Galaxy, I played it when I was younger with my father and honestly it gives me chills every time someone mentions it. I would really love to play another galaxy with my father once again.
Love you papa❤️
One thing thing should of done is given mario/yoshii space suits since they are space based games
16:40
This was actually a big deal when the game was being developed, Miyamoto had gotten into a massive argument over it with one of the lead writers.
As for my opinion... I liked it! I actually a detailed story would have damped my experiencing, since I used my imagination to kind of fill in the blanks of the story myself. I also have no gripes with the atmosphere, way better than the original imo. My reasoning is the ambiance of it all. Kind of let you sit there and sort of think about the whole thing, kind of just chill.
Mario galaxy is good, Mario galaxy 2 is even better
OCD always sets in when you miss the star bits 5:41 😂
No, I think it's absolutely amazing and I'm _still_ fuming that it wasn't coupled with Galaxy 1 in 3D All Stars. It's a great game, genuinely, but it's not exactly memorable when compared to Galaxy 1. There's just a certain magic that it lacks compared to its predecessor. In Galaxy 1, Mario felt out of place, there weren't all that many of the typical Mario level elements save for bricks, pipes, and ? blocks, most of them were in the Bowser and Bowser Jr. boss galaxies. It helped sell the idea that you were exploring a completely foreign existence with the only things that looked like they were from home being were your archenemy set up camp. In 2, there's way more Mario things like cloud platforms you can stand on, more New Super Mario Bros. looking grasses and flowers, even a whole world completely comprised of giant Mario iconography. It just felt like Mario in more Mario, it didn't feel like you were exploring brand new things you'd never expect to have seen, it felt like the Mario equivalent of "another day at the office," blowing past a bunch of same old environments to stop turtle and save girl. Now that I think about it, 2 is kinda just Grand Scale Mario 64. 1 was sorta like that, but it didn't feel as pronounced because most of the places looked different, not just from Mario's norm, but also from each other (save for Gold Leaf being an enhanced copy/paste of Honeyhive), in 2 there's like 4 sand worlds which are nothing new to Mario but all of them also blend together with eachother like how 64 has 3 or 4 worlds set around a mountain, they don't stick out from the other mountain based levels in other Mario games or from each other. Mario just felt too _natural_ in 2, it didn't feel like he was lost or out of place because there were too many series staples. And the ost doesn't really help this, most tracks sound like they would be played in NSMB or 64 or Sunshine while Galaxy 1's had a lot more calm, quiet, mystical, and ethereally wondrous tracks. Seriously, this isn't to say it's a bad game or even bad in comparison to it's father, it just isn't as magical, mysterious, or memorable as Galaxy 1 because it feels like they burnt up most of their creative juices while making Galaxy 1 a masterpiece, so they had to dial it back making Galaxy 2 so that they didn't can it like a quarter of the way through because Miyamoto had a hemorrhage.
I need to get my hands on this game. I hope it gets a release for the Switch. I finally got to play the first one on the Switch as I never got on the Wii. Great discussion!
I really recommend you getting a Wii and modding it. Nintendo is not rereleasing the game any time soon and with how cheap the Wii is (it's cheaper than a Switch game with accessories), you'll be able to play this amazing console with some of the greatest Nintendo games ever. Mario Kart Wii, SMG1 and 2, Brawl, Twilight Princess, and all the GameCube games.
@@Rigby103_epic I had a Wii but it broke.
literally everything except the story and the atmosphere is improved upon in galaxy 2, how is it even a question that it's a bad sequel
I love Galaxy 1 and 2 both equally. I got special memories with Galaxy 1 because when my brother and I were kids we played it together and these are some of the unforgettable moments you never get back. Galaxy 2 brought so much more new Ideas but the Story overall was very stupid. Before Mario Odysee only Galaxy 1 had a really good Story of all 3d Mario Games. There are some things the first game does better while on the other side the sequel stands out for creatively changes. Both masterpieces on their own whose level, ideas, atmosphere, music and gameplay mechanics complete each other.
In my opinion the Galaxy games are the best Mario Games!!
Hey, I enjoyed this video once I realized it was more of a review of the game, despite certain disagreements with how we view it, but I was sort of surprised of how little the idea of what makes a good sequel was discussed at all in the video. Maybe it’s reductive to summarize, but the conclusion I drew was that your answer was like “sure I guess it depends on your taste idk” rather than talking about the nature of video game sequels and why this game in particular is an interesting case study. It felt like the title is misleading or maybe the vision of this essay got lost somewhere. Sort of irritating, but I still appreciate the effort put in.
I understand Mario Galaxy 2’s story is the same but it’s also rushed. It’s kinda structured like the 2023 movie where they speed through every scene that feels like they’ve gone for 30 seconds. I still love the gameplay though and I love the new additions.
The problem it has can be mostly summarized by having the same problem every other direct sequel any other groundbreaking, revolutionary masterpiece has; it's going to be directly compared to The First One(tm) and that will ultimately skew most people's perceptions about it.
Your videos are awesome. May I ask: were you born in the early 2000s? I ask cause I wanna find out if you were a DS / Wii kid as well 😊
Hopefully we'll get a Switch release someday, it should have been included in 3D All Stars.
Galaxy 1 is forever my favorite. I always looked at Galaxy 2 as DLC lol
the fluzzard levels wouldnt have been so bad if i didnt almost break a wii remote over dying around 25 times just because of the medals
I think my main problem with Galaxy 2 (for me, at least) is that it doesn't fill any holes that Galaxy 1 already filled. I felt like Galaxy 1 already satisfied me enough to the point where I didn't need a sequel to make it feel complete.
Not to say Galaxy 2 is a bad, incomplete game. Just that Galaxy 2 felt unnecessary since Galaxy 1 already did so much so well. There wasn't really much room to add or improve in my opinion.
I find "The Missed Potential of Super Mario Galaxy 2" by KingK to be THE video that perfectly sums up my thoughts and feelings on the game! :]
I will love both games for different reasons, some shared, some not.
The fabulous mystique of the original, or the incredibly fun galaxies of the second one.
The sense of loneliness mixed in with beauty of the original, or the whimsical and wonderful environments of the second one.
I am glad that Super Mario Galaxy 2 decided not to be 1 but again, exploring different concepts of the boundless posibilities of the cosmos was done in very beautiful ways in both games.
Both r absolute masterpieces but SMG2 just about takes the cake for me
It’s crazy how fast your growing! Keep it up
Some of the missions were a Nightmare, man!
Galaxy 2 to me was just as good as Galaxy 1. I remember being excited when someone told me there was gonna be a sequel and counting down the weeks until release once I found out the release date. I thoroughly enjoyed the game and it was the highlight of one of my middle school years
My only complaint is like you said with the atmosphere and background. There seemed to be more levels with blue skies and clouds than starry sky levels which takes away the whole “galaxy/spacey” aesthetic. All in all though, it was a solid game that holds a special place in my heart ❤️
The way that I’ve always put is “Mario Galaxy one is, by far, the better game, but Mario Galaxy 2 was more fun.”
Galaxy 2 is awesome, a masterpiece. 😀😀😀
I dislike the way they did the story but the gameplay is definitely even cooler, tho not every level is more memorable.
I feel like it could have been cool if it was a dlc where the luma’s create starship mario for you after you get all 120 stars. The starship would actually be parked at the observatory (as long as you are in the first section of the map. And the dlc would see you traveling across the edges of the universe, maybe have a different boss than bowser tho.
finally , people still talk aboit super mario galaxy 1 and 2
Both Galaxy games are perfect, but Galaxy 2 is just a bit more perfect because it has Yoshi.
The only correct take
I think SMG2 is one of my biggest childhood games
I played Galaxy 2 first, and it was amazing, better than the first which I played years later.This was my childhood.
Don't know why Nintendo didn't add this game to the Mario collection on Switch
Main reason I love galaxy 2 is the cloud mushroom
mario galaxy 2: the best game to have ever been created.
Lubba can't be evil, stop thinking that.
We all know the answer before watching the video.
Of course not, it’s one of the most loved sequels of all time.
my favorite part was the whole luigi second half of the game
Funny enough I actually played super Mario Galaxy 2 first. I remember seeing a trailer for it were this guy was hyping up yoshi being in there because he wasn't in the first one! I did get super Mario all stars, so im going to have to play through the first one to see what its like. But I remember seeing some super Mario Galaxy 1 fans saying that it wasn't as good as the first one.
I like Galaxy 2s more bright, and happy atmosphere. Galaxy 1s atmosphere is just too depressing for me...
I found Galaxy 2s levels to more fun overall. I also died and got frustrated in Galaxy 1 far more than in Galaxy 2.
I played Galaxy 1 first, and still, I liked Galaxy 2 more.
A Fun Childhood Fact: A kid told me the cosmicy silhouette of Rosalina that appears after you die too many times, was Luigi's Girlfriend.
Yeah, and I believed that for a while, too.
I also didn't realize the silhouette was of Rosalina when I was a kid, so it made it even more believable to me, for some reason.
we need galaxy 3
In my country only Galaxy 2 was officially released, so I played 2 first before 1.
2 had better levels and references hence better gameplay wise and I’ll dare to say 2 was as good as or even better than 1😊
Galaxy 2 > Galaxy 1
16:37 I mean, most of Mario Galaxy’s story was backloaded in the original. I think people cared more about the ambiance than the story
Galaxy 2 is an amazing game, but if it built upon the story threads of the original, it could’ve been legendary.
9:16 I wouldn’t agree. Honestly I prefer the world map. It’s pretty fun to go through the world map on your first play through and see what you find
I love Galaxy 2. It has levels with many new mechanics that never showed up in the first Galaxy game. It even brought Yoshi without his flaws in Sunshine, and new power ups. I may prefer the first Galaxy because of the atmosphere but Galaxy 2 still holds up. It’s a shame that most people call Galaxy 2 “glorified DLC” nowadays.
Galaxy 1 had the better story and cinematics and atmosphere.
Galaxy 2 has better gameplay, and just better levels in general. Hell, i think it even ties galaxy in terms of music. I just love both so much and i really hope galaxy 2 comes to switch 2 one day
I like the power up designed levels in 2 along with the bossfights, which think are some of the best I've seen from mario, and I like playing as Luigi or Mario. Saving up starlets in the bank was fun when I was younger, I guess. But that's where it ends for me. Galaxy 2 has a really hard time recapturing my attention to keep playing it, meaning I've only had one playthrough of the game, being my first, and with galaxy 1 I have replayed the game, and the postgame with Luigi around 8 times now. The atmosphere is so different in the two games. Not to mention, while I find 2's gameplay more fun, I find 1's more memorable. Hey, at least both of them have killer music.
Nobody cares about the stories in these mario games because there is simply not alot there to be called a story. In that sense, galaxy 2 is an improvement
Strangely, I played 2 first, only playing the original many years later. Even with that nostalgia bias, I find 1 to be the better of the two, but 2 is by no means a bad sequel.
Well, let's be real, New super mario bros wii is released after galaxy& before galaxy 2.
In my own aspect(I'm in 20 now you, could using this as my standrd), I first meet NSMBW, then SMG2 and finally SMG.
Introducing SMG2 within a NSMBW like 2D atmosphere and then turn into 3D is somehow much better than just straight up 3D, and for the plot......
Thought I have a phobia of Bowser in my early years, SMG2 didn't need a deep plot since it somehow would cause some sort of horror to children, I didn't recommend to do this. Instead, I felt SMG is more aiming for the player have played 64& sunshine, where these person have a 3D mario experience.
SMG2? It tried to make it wide open and the UI more like NSMBW. I feel it's a good transition while also using my order of play the game.
I love galaxy 2, but I easily prefer galaxy 1. I just like the level design and atmosphere better in Galaxy 1 since galaxy 2 feels too linear with how the world map is structured but with galaxy one the way you travel to different galaxies feels like they’re so far out the way they’re set up on the world map and makes it feel more like a true space adventure. Galaxy 2 may have introduced more new mechanics but Galaxy 1 for me was far more memorable (and I prefer a lot of the galaxies from galaxy 1 more)
Can you review a bad game it would be appreciated to mix it up
Honestly I think most of the levels and galaxies in two are better than in one🤷♂️
