Remember back in the day, sitting in front of your Nintendo 64, trying to collect the eight red coins, or simply trying to beat a koopa in a foot race up a mountain? Well, these days are back, as Nintendo has released a true sequel to the hit game, Super Mario 64, with Super Mario Galaxy. The game takes the best of all worlds with its gravity shifting, free flying, star collecting, and Bowser defeating game play. Gamers everywhere can agree that this game is unlike any other in the Mario series. 
Super Mario Galaxy pushes aside other games by offering options unlike any other. Adaptation of a two player story mode allows gamers to battle their way through obstacles, enemies, stars, coins, and bits with the comfort of knowing that your friend has your back. The revamped version of the eight red coins sends gamers hunting for 100 purple coins in the most awkward and difficult situations. With help of newly formed Mario transformations, the game offers a variety of new game play aspects to help make the battle to 120 stars a little more enjoyable. Even the pickiest gamers can especially enjoy the new motion effects and graphics that help to make the game more realistic. These are just some of the ways that Super Mario Galaxy has managed to win gamers over across the world.
Super Mario Galaxy has one simple objective, rescue Princess Peach. This may sound like a repeat of every other Mario game; however the missions involved in completing your objective have reached new heights and new levels. The games presentation involves a few key elements. These include strategy, adventure, and action. The game then uses these elements in every mission, battle and obstacle that you will encounter in the game. Whether you are battling it out against Bowser, finding a path across a lake of molten lava, or hiking up an icy mountain, the game manages to throw every one of these elements at you at the same time. The game combines all of these very well and uses them in all of the right places, which is important to offer a good game that is not overly difficult but at the same time is still a challenge.
As you can probably imagine, the environment is outer space. Mario travels from galaxy to galaxy and from planet to planet in search of the 120 Power Stars and the 6 Grand Stars. What exactly are these stars used for you might ask? The Grand Stars provide power to the galaxy you are currently in, home of the Lumas and their leader Mama. The galaxy uses the power from the Grand Stars to provide power to another section of the galaxy which then enables you to gain access to that newly lit up portion of the galaxy. Using the combination of the Power Stars and the Grand Stars, you will be able to fly the once dark galaxy through thousands of other galaxies to finally arrive at Bowser’s newly created galaxy where he is holding Princess Peach as ransom.
