Super Mario Galaxy 2 Review:

Super Mario Galaxy 2 Review:

Time after time, Mario and the diligent masterminds at Nintendo responsible for him have proven that he can do anything. Arguably the eponymous face of gaming, the chubby plumber from Brooklyn has conquered everything from fighting games to racing, all while dazzling critics and dominating the sales charts. Yet Mario’s most remarkable accomplishment is perhaps his ability to stay fresh and far ahead of the curve even as he retains the enjoyable foundation that made his original games so captivating. Super Mario Galaxy 2 is proof positive of that very capacity and is an incredible game to boot.

 


It is also a game no one expected. The first direct sequel to a Mario platformer in decades, Galaxy 2 surpasses the excellence of the award-winning Super Mario Galaxy and the return to 2D interlude New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Immediately upon playing Super Mario Galaxy 2 you will not only rediscover what made its predecessor an instant classic, but also a coat of polish and refinement that sets this adventure apart from just about every other game out there.


The inciting incidents that set this game in motion are almost cloyingly familiar. Princess Peach invites Mario to the castle to watch the anticipated cosmic festivities along with the delightful promise of cake. Then as he is wont to do, Bowser, maintaining the massive stature he acquired at the end of NSMB Wii, kidnaps Peach and only seeks to grow more colossal. Mario unites with another lost Luma and hops aboard a space-vessel giving chase to Peach and her malevolent captor. You are forgiven for pondering whether a more novel set up could have been included but chances are you will not care after the game proper begins.
