i have be a mario fan for as long a i can remember and i have very fond memory of play super mario world a a kid and this game have bring back many of those memory while add something new . super mario galaxy be the late installment in the amazing mario franchise . there be much very different about this game from any other mario before it and while still keep intact the great element of mario and the first noticeable difference be that the story take place in space . the story begin much like any other mario game and mario receive a letter from princess peach invite him to a celebration at her castle in the mushroom kingdom . upon arrive at peach castle mario find bowser and his son ( bowser jr. ) attack the castle with their airship . bowser kidnaps princess peach and then lift her castle up into space . in the midst of the castle be lift into space mario fall off and land on an unknown planet . mario be find by a talk star name luma and be take back to the luma home and a floating space station and here mario meet many other lumas and also meet their leader and a woman name rosalina . rosalina tell mario that bowser have take away the space station power star and scatter them across the universe and it be up to mario to help the lumas find them and save peach and thus the adventure begin . the way you play the game be by fly from the space station to other galaxy and each galaxy consist of multiple planet that mario travel amongst in level via these shoot star to retrieve the power star . mario can at many time walk all the way around planet without lose gravity and some planet be small and others be big and many planet be similar to classic mario environment . the best thing about the game be the control and all of the stuff like jump and such be still the same and but the wiimote be use in many unique way in this game . you shake the remote mario will perform a spin that be use a the primary attack in the game and and it will as well activate the shooting star . you can also point the remote at the screen and use the pointer to fire star bit at enemy or object in the environment . then there be the graphic and these be by far the best graphic on the wii and it be just so hard to describe how great this game look and you could probably almost say it look as good a some 360 game . my only minor gripe be that the go upside down effect take some get use to and and also the story be pretty weak . the bad part be that you lose all of your life when you turn off the game and no matter how many you have when you last quit you restart at 4 life . still these minor problem aside it a superb game that be highly entertaining and be very challenging . this be the type of game that we have be wait for on the wii . a perfect positive .
