Cosmic Cove was the point where I realised that Galaxy 2 was 100% going to be in my top tier of games. The first star was so simple yet so beautiful with its brief swimming section, and then turning everything into ice. The music just mesmerising too. The second star knocked it out of the park. Love the bit you mentioned, but also those 2D swimming sections traversing water floating in space were fantastic too. In another game Cosmic Cove would stand out even more but in SMG2 it's a great level among great levels, but probably just the most memorable for me.
I just started watching u again a few weeks again and you've got a lot better! Ur vids were always fun, but I love the side comments and stuff like that.
I remember getting Mario Galaxy 2 for my 12th birthday I think. I've never played the first one, so I love the 2nd one with all my heart. best game ever, I wish they would make a galaxy 3.
I think the Chompworks Galaxy is pretty underrated, personally, especially that Shadow Comet. I'm sure concepts like that have been done before, but the way it works in SMG2 is really cool.
yah i'm even starting a fan game in the summer where i include the successors to cosmic clones:shadow clones [and even a couple of my post-game stars are shadow clone stars too, also i'm really interested in the cosmic clone stars]
In my opinion, Galaxy 1 was better than 2. It just felt like it had way more soul. However, it's extremely subjective and I understand why you prefer Galaxy 2.
And I'm going to be that one stick in the mud who doesn't like either Galaxy game. I greatly prefer the style of gameplay that Super Mario 64 and especially Super Mario Sunshine (my favourite Super Mario game) had. I honestly wish they'd go back to the roots and make either a new platformer in the style of the original two or make a sequel to Super Mario Sunshine. However, if I had to choose between the galaxies, I'd go with Galaxy 2. Mostly because of the more inventive powerups, creative levels, Yoshi and the green stars were pretty fun as well. Super Mario Galaxy 1, in my opinion, is completely unenjoyable and honestly, is probably one of my least favourite Mario games of all time.
+The Helmaroc King - I agree, I like Galaxy 1 a bit more for the same reason. I personally enjoyed listening to Rosalina's story too, it made everything feel like it had more purpose, and I'd cry for Rosalina every time I heard the story :'(
Ahh, I recently downloaded SMG2 again, just to relive 2011 and that feeling of beating the perfect run! 210 stars, almost there :) Also, I think the rulers in the Rolling Masterpiece galaxy are there because sometimes if you're sketching and you're making a straight line, some artists use a ruler to guide them and make their lines straight.
I like those two galaxies as well. Puzzle Plank because I like puzzle solving and Chompworks because you see where all chain chomps are made and you even see a golden one.
My favorite galaxy I'd probally the flash back galaxy. The idea is so cool especially the way it turns pitch black then back to normal in the pattern of the song it's really cool
Your countdowns have been getting much better recently, Nathaniel...you were kind of in a slump when you put out stuff like Most Annpying Mario Characters, but you've reached an all time high since I first subscribed. Kudos! :D Also I'm quite surprised Mario Squared Galaxy and Chompworks Galaxy missed the cut.
Great video! Super Mario Galaxy 2 has been my favorite video game ever since I first played it. I didn't even notice the rulers in Rolling Masterpiece until now...
I think NB's purpose and SOUL purpose for the list is the uniqueness and originality of the levels, not if he likes them himself. As you can see in his "Worst Brawl Stages" list, a lot of his entries there are the same in his "Unique Brawl Stages" list.
+Nathaniel Bandy Super Mario Galaxy 1 is so much better than Galaxy 2. Can you do the top ten most unique Mario Powerups. they don't have to be good, just used in a Unique way like The Ice Flower in Super Mario Galaxy 1 or the Rock Mushroom and Cloud Flower in Super Mario Galaxy 2, or the Metal Cap/invisiblity/Wing Cap, or the Red Star, or the Boo and Bee Mushroom. Like I said, it doesn't have to be good, just has to be a unique power up. Also do a Top Ten hardest Mario Bosses and Mario Games. Including Mario and Luigi Series and Paper Mario series.
+PIEGUYRULZ Well, maybe the Fluzzard controls can be a little difficult, but the ball actually controls perfectly from my experience, so I don't get how it's obnoxious. And the two levels aren't really similar at all just because they both use motion controls, unless you mean him putting Rolling Gizmo on the Galaxy 1 list?
Woohoooo! Now for #2! Aww yeah! Man, how much I love these edits and jokes in it, such GOOOOOOD. The Galaxies in this game are GLORIOUS! Nintendo did put A LOT of work into it. With new Power Ups and MORE CONCEPTS! Love this Top 10!
COME ON,Nathaniel Bandy! Why Cosmic Cove Galaxy for #1? It is just a Damp piece of crap.I prefer Boss Blitz Galaxy for #1.Because in everything you basically do is fight off a bunch of Bosses from the first Super Mario Galaxy.Because yeah,every once in a while when you played Super Mario Galaxy 1 and play this galaxy in the 2nd,it is an exact combination of bosses from around the game.
Not even gonna talk about how in bowser Jr's boomsday machine, at the beginning, a broken and destroyed megahamer is there, firing bullet bills at you?
I loved the slide level. My brother would be like a sports commentator. "He's coming to the jump and... AWWWW! No Marios fell. He aint coming back soon."
To be honest my favourite galaxy has to be freezeflake galaxy as its one of my most memorble galaxies and star shine beach and the honey ones was great as well due to their amazing music
when you realized it's one of those "DARK TOP 10 AGE OF 2016" videos also, you don't always have to point at the screen/sensor bar for motion-controlled galaxies, you can have it upright and tilt your wrist like a joystick
I was literally thinking to myself, “wow the bowser jr one on world 5 is probably the best level” and then I click your video and that’s the first thing you say, nice
Omg SO glad u put that in number 1! I was actually looking for that galaxy because I thought it was the best of em all, just couldn't recall the name of it... but thx for that 1😉
That level with the wood people is probably my favorite one, to be honest. It made me realize that this sequel was not more of the same and in fact, adding a lot new to the table. Gotta love Balloon Yoshi :D
I think that starshine beach is a very chill level and just has a nice concept, you can go pretty much anywhere, but you have to go to specific places to get to stars. I don’t know if it’s unique enough for this list though since I haven’t played SMG1
In my opinion, Mario galaxy 2 has way better level design with a lot more gimicks. Mario Galaxy 1 has a better atmosphere for every galaxy and all of the galaxies feel like their own thing and unique, (except for golden leaf galaxy and even that one felt somewhat interesting with how it was different.)
Oh yeah, also, I think the point of the rulers is that since it's based on an artist's tools and you have to use rulers to make straight lines for some paintings.
*Strives for originality*
*Makes a Top Ten list*
your point is...
That its funny
Doesn't need to be hateful :]
TheGameCreator13
i wasn't being hateful i was just wondering
frostyblade 88
ah ok just figured people would assume its hateful

I really want Galaxy 3 ;-;
I don't
^^^^
And I want anything but that
Only if they fix the final boss, and have a threat other than Bowser.
+Fab Falcon It would be nice to see a Galaxy 3, but I would prefer to see a more open world Mario 3D platformer again.
I love when you suddenly put an environmental message in the middle of a video. XD
Gotta educate the NB community! XD

What do you think are the most unique galaxies in Super Mario Galaxy 2? Let me know below! :)
Every super mario 2 galaxy is awesome I like almost every one
I just started watching u again a few weeks again and you've got a lot better! Ur vids were always fun, but I love the side comments and stuff like that.
Grandmaster Galaxy
Trowback Galaxy I remember a lot the Super Mario 64
thank you so much for the video!! my favorite galaxy has got to be Melty Monster Galaxy.
I remember getting Mario Galaxy 2 for my 12th birthday I think. I've never played the first one, so I love the 2nd one with all my heart. best game ever, I wish they would make a galaxy 3.
They probably won't because we need the Wii controls with the cursor and everything. We probably won't get one unless they re-release the wii
Troll Dedede they have motion controls on the switch
Just get galaxy 1 and pretend its galaxy 3 since you never played it
arianaaa916 same story here (i got it for christmas)
Play the first one if you can. My description in one word: Magical
4:56 They're trying to measure my patience.

Matteo bigagli You don't even need to navigate it because you access all the levels by stepping on one platform.
+The Helmaroc King - I agree, I like Galaxy 1 a bit more for the same reason. I personally enjoyed listening to Rosalina's story too, it made everything feel like it had more purpose, and I'd cry for Rosalina every time I heard the story :'(

I'm a genie

Not 100% genie, because I wasn't. :/
Dom Chocolate he guessed it on me too
Thats disgusting
Cosmic Cove is fantastic. Also, you forgot to mention how phenomenal the soundtack is for that galaxy. So soothing and calm.
I LUV COSMIC COVE THEME!! Learned to play on my precious violin
I literally spent most of my time in cosmic cove just to figure skate xD
My favourite is throwback Galaxy
SO MUCH NOSTALGIA
You can really tell when some of these top 10s are from the *Dark Top 10 Age of 2016*
Number 4 has big houses? We're almost in the dream!
Slimy Spring. Beautiful from beginning to end.
This channel is amazing. You deserve a lot more subscribers.
Oh
Lets
Break
It
Down
Nathaniel Bandy: Fell in love with the slide.
Me: Fell off the slide. A lot.
What about Chompworks Galaxy? Or Puzzle-Plank Galaxy?
+The Hero of Hyrule I know. Those are two of my favorites, along with Slimy Spring Galaxy.
I like those two galaxies as well. Puzzle Plank because I like puzzle solving and Chompworks because you see where all chain chomps are made and you even see a golden one.
Ethan C. I loved those X3
and throwback galaxy
I like the perfect run for it being a secret star and the final one.
My favorite galaxy I'd probally the flash back galaxy. The idea is so cool especially the way it turns pitch black then back to normal in the pattern of the song it's really cool
I had to replay the game like ten times to realize that this galaxy is not called flash back but flash black
**no Supermassive or Chompworks**
**UNSUB**
Dreigonix supermassive is just a tiny huge island remake
+Edward Johnston
True.
yonomixatu this isn't hard stars this is unique stars
yonomixatu I understand but you said that they aren't hard but this top10 isnt about difficulty
yonomixatu oh ok. That makes more sense
This is the epitome of the “DARK TOP 10 AGE OF 2016” lol
you said Doomsday machine instead of Boom Bunker at #10
The boss is the Boomsday machine
Also he didn’t say doomsday he said Boomsday

"It's Much Good" -Nathaniel Bandy 2016
Your countdowns have been getting much better recently, Nathaniel...you were kind of in a slump when you put out stuff like Most Annpying Mario Characters, but you've reached an all time high since I first subscribed. Kudos! :D
Also I'm quite surprised Mario Squared Galaxy and Chompworks Galaxy missed the cut.
Thomas Kelly Yes, I am surprised Chompworks Galaxy was not in this video!
I want Super Mario Galaxy 2
Exposed Edition... ;)
Intro:" Striving for Originallity"
Him: "Does a top 10 Video"
How about throwback Galaxy? why didn't you include that?
If you think about it its not that unique, why?
Because that level already existed X3
Because it was used in 2 (1 and its remake) games before.
Wow, your channels Coke so far Nathaniel. It feels like it was only yesterday that you were at 20,000 subs. Congrats.
3:01 they're banzai bills, not bullet bills

Oh no... A GRAMMAR NAZI! RUN!
Great video! Super Mario Galaxy 2 has been my favorite video game ever since I first played it. I didn't even notice the rulers in Rolling Masterpiece until now...
Me too
Motion control levels? Obnoxious controls override cool ideas. I would not have had those two on this list.
I think NB's purpose and SOUL purpose for the list is the uniqueness and originality of the levels, not if he likes them himself. As you can see in his "Worst Brawl Stages" list, a lot of his entries there are the same in his "Unique Brawl Stages" list.
This list is based on the concept of how the course looks and feels, not so much for how it's fun it is to play through.
Nathaniel Bandy Really? Huh, I just figured that by unique, you wouldn't be picking two levels that were similar.
+Nathaniel Bandy Super Mario Galaxy 1 is so much better than Galaxy 2. Can you do the top ten most unique Mario Powerups. they don't have to be good, just used in a Unique way like The Ice Flower in Super Mario Galaxy 1 or the Rock Mushroom and Cloud Flower in Super Mario Galaxy 2, or the Metal Cap/invisiblity/Wing Cap, or the Red Star, or the Boo and Bee Mushroom. Like I said, it doesn't have to be good, just has to be a unique power up. Also do a Top Ten hardest Mario Bosses and Mario Games. Including Mario and Luigi Series and Paper Mario series.
+PIEGUYRULZ Well, maybe the Fluzzard controls can be a little difficult, but the ball actually controls perfectly from my experience, so I don't get how it's obnoxious. And the two levels aren't really similar at all just because they both use motion controls, unless you mean him putting Rolling Gizmo on the Galaxy 1 list?
You did this game an injustice by not including cloudy court galaxy
The slide level is why I quit Mario Galaxy 2.
Rage quit.
that s pain in my ass but i did it too XD
MetroSpekt FEEL YOU BRO! the normal slide was also dumb hard
The slide level is very memorable!
At least it wasn’t motion control.
Woohoooo! Now for #2! Aww yeah! Man, how much I love these edits and jokes in it, such GOOOOOOD. The Galaxies in this game are GLORIOUS! Nintendo did put A LOT of work into it. With new Power Ups and MORE CONCEPTS! Love this Top 10!
my favorite galaxy is Super Massive Galaxy
That keemstar joke was great lol
COME ON,Nathaniel Bandy! Why Cosmic Cove Galaxy for #1? It is just a Damp piece of crap.I prefer Boss Blitz Galaxy for #1.Because in everything you basically do is fight off a bunch of Bosses from the first Super Mario Galaxy.Because yeah,every once in a while when you played Super Mario Galaxy 1 and play this galaxy in the 2nd,it is an exact combination of bosses from around the game.
Thank you
DOge Style Yes but he is rating galaxies imagination
How does that make the Galaxy unique?
Screw boss blitz.i would rather play the hardest game in the world than play that galaxy. >:(
But I thought that boss rush levels were really common. Because they are. It’s not unique at all.
Woah, I just watched the first 10 on unique super Mario galaxies and few hours ago and I was hoping you would make a sequel
Not even gonna talk about how in bowser Jr's boomsday machine, at the beginning, a broken and destroyed megahamer is there, firing bullet bills at you?
I loved the slide level. My brother would be like a sports commentator. "He's coming to the jump and... AWWWW! No Marios fell. He aint coming back soon."
To be honest my favourite galaxy has to be freezeflake galaxy as its one of my most memorble galaxies and star shine beach and the honey ones was great as well due to their amazing music
Another TOP NOTCH top 10 Nathan
Your voice cracks made me laugh so hard at 3:12
This video was just sooo satisfying because it had most of my favorite galaxies in it!
when you realized it's one of those "DARK TOP 10 AGE OF 2016" videos
also, you don't always have to point at the screen/sensor bar for motion-controlled galaxies, you can have it upright and tilt your wrist like a joystick
thanks for doing my idea nb your awesome
Mad respect on that keemstar bash. Soo true XD
How did you know I was watching this on the toilet? Also I was flushing during the outro XD
loving the top 10s as usual
I haven't played this game in so long and I remember some of these
I think this is the best Top 10 of the "Dark Top 10 Age Of 2016". I agree with a lot of these choices
I got an ad right before one lol
1:18 to 1:22 is good humor, good job man!
Skimy Spring Galaxy is way, WAY too beautiful!
I love how all three galaxies with the Spin Drill are on this list.
Cosmic cove is the best galaxy I agree 101%
I was literally thinking to myself, “wow the bowser jr one on world 5 is probably the best level” and then I click your video and that’s the first thing you say, nice
YES! Number 1 is my FAVOURITE because of the music and the cute penguins around..
the captions on this video are actually really accurate
I like when you start playing this game, you're set in 2d mode.
Nathaniel's Goodness meter goes green!
Cosmic Cove was my favorite galaxy since Super Mario Galaxy 2 first came out! man I love skating on the ice.
The one that immediately came to mind is the one where you're going really fast eating hot peppers while riding on Yoshi.
Omg SO glad u put that in number 1! I was actually looking for that galaxy because I thought it was the best of em all, just couldn't recall the name of it... but thx for that 1😉
the intro always reminded me of a 70s show for some reason
TFW you have watched every NB video and just have to watch them over again.
Thanks for the life advice NB:)
It's been over 5 years, do you still play Super Mario Galaxy 2: Exposed Edition? That part cracked me up!
1:06: Are you kidding me? NOTHING can kill that plumber! It's Bowser I'm worried about.
That level with the wood people is probably my favorite one, to be honest. It made me realize that this sequel was not more of the same and in fact, adding a lot new to the table. Gotta love Balloon Yoshi :D
It's called tall trunk galaxy and same
shuckle It's been so long since I last played that game. I kind of want to now. :D
LMAO YOU WERE RIGHT ABOUT ME SITTING ON THE TOILET
I thought I was the only one who thought cosmic cove galaxy was the best one. I just really love the atmosphere
The giant rulers are measuring your patience from how many times the motion controls screw you over.
Cosmic Cove Galaxy is gorgeous
1:22 *I’m gonna steal it from you*
Maybe the next top 10 you do can be "Top 10 reptiles in video games"
My intro for Nathaniel Bandy
Nathaniel Bandy the king of newbs
I think that starshine beach is a very chill level and just has a nice concept, you can go pretty much anywhere, but you have to go to specific places to get to stars. I don’t know if it’s unique enough for this list though since I haven’t played SMG1
cosmic cove. it's always been my favorite galaxy because it's just so satisfying.
striving for originality.
creates top 10 video
The fact that Throwback Galaxy wasn't mentioned is such a crime
I literally only play Cosmic Cove Galaxy just for the music. For some reason I find it so soothing and relaxing. Anyone else agree?
In my opinion, Mario galaxy 2 has way better level design with a lot more gimicks. Mario Galaxy 1 has a better atmosphere for every galaxy and all of the galaxies feel like their own thing and unique, (except for golden leaf galaxy and even that one felt somewhat interesting with how it was different.)
My favourite galaxy is the "think before you shake" Galaxy because of the moon jumps that you can do on it
Throwback Galaxy was just memories all over it.
Cosmic Cove is my most favourite Galaxy! I love the music.
I've been waiting for this
Hey Nathaniel, the end of Rolling Masterpiece are ends of pencils.
The slide one was my fave, when I saw it on the list I almost spat out my drink
I think Starshine Beach is the best! The galaxy itself is gorgeous in every destination and personally, I love running on water with Yoshi.
Cosmic Cove is not only the most unique, but it's my favorite galaxy in the game. I was still surprised to see it at number 1, though!
Oh yeah, also, I think the point of the rulers is that since it's based on an artist's tools and you have to use rulers to make straight lines for some paintings.
I'm playing this as watching this and this video was uploaded on my birthday XD
10:58 Is that why that galaxy was my favourite years ago? Well now I know!
