Super Mario Galaxy (dunkview)

00:00:00.160space the final

00:00:03.040fun tier that's a quote from

00:00:14.920wally

00:00:26.480eventually all things must go to space

00:00:29.599the brave toaster

00:00:30.960the leprechaun airbud space represents

00:00:34.079infinite boundless possibilities but for

00:00:36.399mario

00:00:37.120it actually meant more limitations

00:00:39.360compared to 64 and sunshine mario's

00:00:41.760movement in galaxy feels far more

00:00:43.760restrictive

00:00:44.719you can no longer dive instead of having

00:00:46.800a full range of motion you can only move

00:00:48.640in nine directions and the stage design

00:00:50.879is far more linear

00:00:52.399none of this sounds very fun but but it

00:00:55.600is

00:00:55.920trust me by reigning in mario's

00:00:58.079abilities and forcing

00:00:59.440players to engage with the levels more

00:01:01.600the designers are able to take

00:01:03.440movement in all new creative directions

00:01:06.240the first and most

00:01:07.119obvious are these planetoids if you long

00:01:09.439jump off one at the right spot

00:01:11.040you'll go flying through its orbit and

00:01:12.960you can also get sucked into another's

00:01:14.720gravitational pull if you get close

00:01:16.560enough

00:01:17.040the game eases you into this new way of

00:01:19.040moving mario with a little tutorial

00:01:20.880planet then

00:01:23.200the game just starts chucking a [ __ ]

00:01:25.200buffet of new mechanics and

00:01:26.880launcher stars that fling you to other

00:01:28.560planets shockwave goomba knocker blue

00:01:30.560rapper guys stretcher plants

00:01:32.240spinny vines where you spin around like

00:01:33.840they do was spinning around the horse

00:01:35.280you can jump into this thing and it

00:01:36.960turns into a 2d platformer with

00:01:38.720alternating gravity

00:01:39.840that was just the first level a lesser

00:01:41.680game would crumble under the weight of

00:01:43.520so many ideas but mario galaxy nimbly

00:01:46.240glides through them like the matrix

00:01:48.079introducing one mechanic that leads to

00:01:50.079another which later merges with the

00:01:51.600previous idea to create an even more

00:01:53.280exciting combination oh this is a good

00:01:55.280ass game then you got the soundtrack

00:01:59.200that powerful triumphant orchestra

00:02:02.000surging so much

00:02:03.119life into these levels jumping on a

00:02:05.040goomba has never felt more important

00:02:07.040than in mario galaxy

00:02:08.560but just like the game itself the music

00:02:10.560never stays in one mode for too long

00:02:13.120in minutes you'll go from mystical and

00:02:15.120imposing

00:02:16.239to cheery penguin party world

00:02:20.400bumblehive galaxy you have a guitar and

00:02:22.720a marimba

00:02:23.599so simple so effective this is one of

00:02:26.080the more open stages so it makes sense

00:02:28.080to bring the intensity down and let

00:02:30.160players explore at their own pace

00:02:32.400swing on the swing go on a fountain get

00:02:34.319bubble shot through the air i love this

00:02:35.920one

00:02:36.319only in a game like mario galaxy are you

00:02:38.879going to get

00:02:39.599deep bumble bee soup gameplay like this

00:02:42.319as the bee you can hover

00:02:43.760until you run out of stamina which can

00:02:45.519be refilled in mid-air with coins or by

00:02:47.840landing in a flower which will disappear

00:02:49.599if normal mario tries to land on it

00:02:51.440touching water deactivates the suit

00:02:53.360you can also climb on honey and hover

00:02:55.120out of a flingy flower bounce which is a

00:02:56.800mechanic lifted out of the previous game

00:02:58.640donkey kong jungle beat which is a 2d

00:03:00.480platformer that you play with a bongo

00:03:01.920drum controller

00:03:02.800it also makes mario cute the hub world

00:03:05.040is not nearly as cool as the previous

00:03:07.360game so to kind of gloss over that they

00:03:09.120put in this really

00:03:10.239really good song which actually grows

00:03:12.560louder as you power it up

00:03:14.000transitioning from the small music box

00:03:16.560sound

00:03:17.040to a full-fledged orchestra

00:03:20.640one of my favorite things about the 3d

00:03:22.480mario games is that each one has its own

00:03:24.879identity they all look and play

00:03:26.640differently from each other so when a

00:03:28.080new one comes out it doesn't make the

00:03:30.080previous titles obsolete

00:03:31.680mario galaxy 2 i didn't forget it's the

00:03:34.319first 3d mario game to not

00:03:36.400completely reinvent the wheel and after

00:03:38.400playing this game every year for the

00:03:40.159past

00:03:40.56010 years i can confirm it's pretty fun

00:03:43.680game the first game is a continuous

00:03:45.599stream

00:03:46.000of inventive polished mechanics like the

00:03:48.239web thing

00:03:50.000sand move turn into a spring bubble blow

00:03:52.319apart wind pedal make a caterpillar

00:03:54.400mario can freaking ice skate

00:03:55.920you have stuff from older games like

00:03:57.439rabbits cannons slides

00:03:59.040mountains even the cataquacks are in

00:04:00.720there the scope and range of moves and

00:04:03.040ideas

00:04:03.680is so wide you think what else could

00:04:06.319they even

00:04:07.200do yoshi [ __ ] yeah

00:04:27.680and don't even get me started on the

00:04:29.600monkey that's the greatest feature of

00:04:32.000all

00:04:32.400level design takes center stage in mario

00:04:34.720galaxy and they can really pack an

00:04:36.720atmospheric punch

00:04:38.080the cosmic cove galaxy is pure magic

00:04:41.600that beautiful mysterious harp luring

00:04:44.639you into the water teeming with sea

00:04:46.720creatures and plant life

00:04:48.400you platform from one gravity defying

00:04:51.120pool to the next

00:04:52.160until you slam this button down and

00:04:54.400freeze the entire planet

00:04:56.000over i've said it before these games are

00:04:59.040so good the water levels are good play

00:05:02.080the [ __ ] game

00:05:20.400foreign
