Although gradually populated with friends, diversions and chances to earn 1-ups, Starship Mario is not actually a hub world. The magic and mystery of Mario 64's castle can never be recaptured, it turns out, and Galaxy's scattershot worlds can't be tied together thematically, so time and effort are saved with point-to-point world maps in the New Super Mario Bros. style. Each of the six worlds is capped by a Bowser or Bowser Jr. boss stage, and as with the other 3D Marios, you'll regularly need to revisit previous areas - or Galaxies - to earn enough stars to progress.

Negatives? We struggled to even stop smiling long enough to think critically. Sure there are re-used assets, but the manner in which they are re-used is like recycling a plastic bottle to make a jumbo jet. Make no mistake, this is the greatest platformer of our time, the greatest Wii title ever created and the greatest journey through space since NASA decided to put man on the moon. It is perhaps in this definition then that, ultimately, SMG2 proves to be one small step for gaming yet one giant leap for platformers. Astounding.

You know what the funny thing is? People are going to complain about this. They’re going to say it’s too similar to the first Galaxy. In a way, they’ll be right; its fundamental gameplay remains unchanged. But despite all its similarities, it offers so much more in terms of content and creativity. The sheer variety and unique twists on ideas make for some of the greatest platforming you’ll ever see. You can go through whole stretches of this game and find something new and completely different in each passing level.

The main concern with Super Mario Galaxy 2 is the question: ‘Where does Mario go from here?’ This game encapsulates everything that makes the Mario series so wondrous, and is without a doubt the best of the plumber’s 3D adventures, and as a whole feels very close to perfection. Then again, I thought the same about the first Super Mario Galaxy, and look what happened there…

Ultimately, Nintendo presents a creature that immediately looks and feels familiar, a comfortable and inviting videogame that is instantly recognizable. Flippant to our initial preconception, it seduces players into complacency, then quickly asserts its true identity over and over again. Galaxy 2 is a constant deluge of fresh ideas that are successful -- not because of its place in a franchise -- but because it is wholly willing to reinvent itself on the fly. Regardless of the player, and regardless of the legacy that comes with the Mario brand, Super Mario Galaxy 2 is a gameplay experience that charges forward on its own rapidly changing terms. We, the lucky players, are only along for the ride.

I can't remember exactly where I left the first Super Mario Galaxy -- relatively early on, at any rate -- but I never felt compelled to go back to it. I have a feeling that SMG2, on the other hand, will keep me enthralled until I've collected every last one of those stars, tough or not. For the detractors out there: This amounts to way more than the Super Mario Galaxy 1.5 you expected.

Thankfully those levels that feature motion controls are brief and necessarily easy (mostly confined to some kind of bird-creature character, who is, in its defence, obviously retarded), and out of the way pretty quick. Thankfully, also, my own pedantic musings on whether or not it’s morally right for us to be impressed by a Mario title that doesn’t reinvent gaming itself is also easily forgotten when you boot up this damn-near-perfect game.

Nintendo deserves minor criticism for designing such a quick and emotionless intro, and perhaps for reusing concepts from the previous game (the Bee Suit, Boo Mario), but dwelling on these insignificant topics would cause you to misinterpret the much larger picture. Super Mario Galaxy 2, especially for those who played the original, offers both a familiar and original experience that all gamers will enjoy. Buy it without hesitation.
