SUMMARY:
I have to start off by saying this game is amazing. It's one of the best games for the Wii, along with Twilight Princess and some others. In Super Mario Galaxy you are in space. You start off in the Comet Observatory and you play from there. You get power stars and by getting them you open up new levels. The game starts off by Mario going to the Star Festival, and then Bowser comes and kidnaps peach. From there you are taken to a planet where there are bunnies that you have to catch, and once you catch them they send you to another planet. You go through the first level, and then get your first Grand Star. A Grand Star is a big star that you get when you beat a Bowser level. Anyways, once you get the first Grand Star, you open the Observatory called the Terrace. There are 6 Observatories in the game total, all with about 5 different levels in them, you have to get a Grand Star to open another one.

Graphics
The graphics in Super Mario Galaxy are excelent. They may not be as good a Ps3 or 360 graphics, but they're really good for the Wii. The colours look really nice on your eyes, not to bright and not too dark.

You're in Space
In Super Mario Galaxy, you are Mario in space. You go to many different planets, some which are small and round, where they are a complete circle, and other that are like the levels in Super Mario 64, where you cannot go off the edge and everything is flat. You can travel through different planets.

Luigi
When you get 120 stars as Mario, you are able to play as Luigi. Luigi can jump higher and run faster. Once you get all the stars with Luigi then you unlock a new galaxy, called the Grand Finale Galaxy, where there are two stars to get.

Size of the Levels
The levels in this game are huge. I have Super Mario 64, and it's a big difference in level sizes. Some levels, are like the flat ones from Super Mario 64 where you are on land, and you cannot fall off the edge. Others, you are going from planet to planet looking for the Power Stars.
The three Trial galaxies, which you unlock after getting all three stars, are incredibly hard. They are way different from all the other levels, and requite a large amount of skill.

Different Marios
In Super Mario Galaxy, there are new types of Marios that you can be. Some of them, go away after a certain amount of seconds. Some of them, go away when you are hurt by an enemy. Here are the different Marios that you can be.
Boo Mario-You are a ghost, and you can fly around. If you touch the light, you go back to normal. If you shake the Wii remote, you can go through some walls.
Spring Mario-You are basically just a spring, that can jump very high. It is really hard to control, the controls aren't well made. If you press A then you jump really high. You turn back to normal Mario if you are hit by an enemy.
Bee Mario-You are a bee, you can fly by pressing A. You can't fly forever, because you will run out of energy. If you land in the water or are attacked by an enemy, then you lose your powers.
