- Super Mario Galaxy needs no introduction. Or conclusion. Or anything else for that matter. It's all been done before, every position, every opinion, taken. But what does that mean for the future of this game? As time marches on, is conversation about Super Mario Galaxy destined to remain forever adrift?

The satire of review essays was too good. Need more of this sort of experimentation with other UA-camrs.
Ah, this essay is called "You Have Already Seen This Mario Galaxy Video" and you mention Galaxy's re-use of elements, though people still enjoy this re-use, just like how I watched this essay even though I've seen a dozen about Mario Galaxy already.
49%RS
The amount of work you put into these 9 discrete video essays is evident. You did not need to go this hard, but you did, and I'm very excited to watch all your videos, as well as any and all that you make going forward. Fantastic work!
Thank you! This video was definitely more experimental, but I'm glad it seems to have worked out!

I found out that Super Mario Galaxy existed through a walkthrough guide on some website many years ago. There were screenshots included and I couldn't believe it was a real game, that's how amazing it looked.
Great video, it should have at least 100 times more views!
This type of video seems to be especially popular with Wii and DS games
Absolutely beautiful video. I spent most of it wondering where you were going, but the ending tied it all together beautifully. It wasn't a collection of separate mini-essays, it was an explanation of how the game made you feel. What the game made you think about. It was a video about you, not really about Mario Galaxy.
I guess I should've seen that coming given how some segments had... nothing to do with the game at all, but either way that realization was really beautiful to me. Great job! :)
As for my story- Super Mario Galaxy shaped a lot of what I love in video games. I didn't play a ton of games before Galaxy; while I really enjoyed the ones I did try, they were mostly just distractions. Really fun distractions I loved, but distractions. Super Mario Galaxy was the first game I cried while playing, and it was during the ending (of course). I was so profoundly invested in the game at that point, and seeing all of the Lumas sacrifice themselves to save the world was... heartbreaking. I was overjoyed to have beaten Bowser, mortified at what the Lumas were doing, confused about what the hell Rosalina was saying, bittersweet that the journey was over... I felt so many emotions while playing though the ending.
While I'm down to give just about any video game a shot, I don't think it's a coincidence that my preferences lean towards linear platformers with an emphasis on atmosphere. Mario Galaxy singlehandedly shaped what I look for most in games. There's so much I appreciate about it, and it even feels like I find something new to love every time I play it! It's left such an impression on me and is my favorite game ever. No matter how long it's been since I last played it, it is- and probably always will be- the purest form of art to me.
Thank you for sharing your story. I really wish there was more content out there like this- not trying to be "objective" or "correct", but instead, trying to be human. (Although I did appreciate you including an """"objective"""" review in this too, as now I can verify you have the correct opinion. :] )
And- thank you for listening to me ramble. I hope you're having a wonderful day! :)
Absolutely AMAZING video! Stories of how a game personally affected someone and relates to their life are my favorite things to see in UA-cam video game 'reviews'. You did a great job weaving your own life and experiences, along with the game itself, into this video. I'll be sharing this video with my friends for sure, I can't believe this video hasn't taken off yet!
Thanks so much! My Galaxy 2 video is in a similar style as well, though I get a little more argumentative in that one, haha.
Hey just got here 👋🏻 anyone else love that new youtuber feeling? You know, that feeling you get when you find an amazing video out of nowhere and then you realize that there’s a whole channel’s worth of videos to catch up on? Gotta say, lookin forward to the ride.
I like people talking about my childhood games, or rather our childhood memories
This is such a cool concept for a video and is exacuted so well. It's also perfect for a game as diverse and, at msny times, disconected as galaxy. I kept wanting one of the sections to talk about what I think is the coolest thing about the game, at least for me: the insatiable curiosity it nurtures in the player. It's something a lot of games lead people to feel, an itch to explore eveey nook and cranny and to go beyond. If you're older that beyond is dev worlds and scrapped content, and as a kit it's your endless imagination. There are so many things in this game that have always left me a bit irked. I want to explore the whole of the mansion in ghostly galaxy, the same as I could in luigi's mansion. I wanted more complex caves in beach bowl, to dig into the core of freezeflame's mountain and fire sphere, and to find another cove within deep dark. These are the levels that spoke to me, because they weren't just linear challanges but also spaces jam packed full of fun. Honeyhive is in this boat too, but it always sataified me. I don’t know why. But yeah, that phenomenon, I want someone to talk about it. It's not even just this game, games like ocorania of time have this phenomenon too. But the last section of this video gives me the answer to my want. As long as more peoppe have experiances related to the game, more videos can be made. So... I should make that video. Powerful message, thank you so much for making this.
P.S. Yes purple coin stars rock, especially the non timed ones! They encourage you to poke around and explore the space, even more non linearly than you already were/could. I love them, freezeflame purple coins is the best star in the game
This is a fantastic application of what I was saying in that last section. Thanks for sharing!
I always felt like Super Mario Galaxy did something no other Mario game came remotely close to achieving. I first played the game when I was thirteen and already well-versed with videogames as a medium, but something about the game unexpectedly clicked with me. Yet whenever I tried to ask myself why I felt in this manner, I wouldn't really comprehend where to start. It's always just had this sort of aura that I felt attached to, in a sense. Perhaps that's the reason why I've never been able to replay it past my first playthrough, if that's even something I want to do in the first place. It's just one of those games that I just, can't extract the same 'vibe' from past the initial experience.
This analysis puts into perspective some of those feelings to me, though. To be fully transparent, I almost forgot why I liked this game at all in more recent years. It's a little comforting to remember that yes, Super Mario Galaxy was a really special title, and it didn't just stick with me because, at the time I played it, I hadn't experienced as many games that impressed me in said regards.
I got recommended your new paper jam video yesterday, which was fantastic, and once I finished that one I immediately subscribed and looked at other videos on the channel. This one really blew me away. The mix of the satirical elements of "objective game reviews", with the stories from your own life that relate to the theming of the video, really great stuff. Love how experimental this is compared to other video essays like it. Will be happily waiting for whatever you decide to make next.
Thanks! It was fun to get a little experimental for this one
@@AurumAlex64 I watched your paper jam video, and that *plus* Tunic pfp is what prompted me to look further. Nice videos!
i have NOT already seen this mario galaxy video.
after the hundreds of videos about older titles, the video essays about marios and sonics or whatever, this is definitely one of my favorites. the stories from childhood are the perfect thing to accompany a nostalgia filled childhood title. i also like how you used the fireplace in the beginning, with the sound mixing it feels like your at a fireplace telling a story, its very cozy. the intellectual integrity story is excellent, made me wish my teachers were so insightful and made me think a ltitle too hard on my impact on this world.
mario galaxy is cool, but genuinely i think the other bits were great to listen to and mash well with the mario parts. the story of watching your friend do bad things and watching without fear of punishment was also pretty interesting. same with your thoughts on non frequent gamers being very confused about things that are simple to us. my girlfriend is relatively new to gaming and despite gaming for years, still doesnt notice things i myself would find extremely obvious. i wonder, is there anything in the non-game world that would make me feel the way she does? who knows
great video. have watched it quite a few times.
I was one of those weirdos who enjoyed my language arts classes in high school. I've had a lot of really cool and inspiring teachers of the years. It makes me sad that so many seem to have had the opposite experience.
21:50 Sonic Lost World is the exception
...this felt like a middle finger.
You have already been flipped this bird.
This was beautiful. Thank you.
This video is really fantastic, I love videos that explore a person's specific experiences over some broad sweeping objective view on something. what's the point of the internet if not to share those human connects in the best way we can
I don't fully understand what this video is about but it's actually amazing I rate it 9.9/10
Amazing
2007 was when Mario peaked, and he's gotten worse since and after his renaissance. But that's just another Tuesday for the plumber.
if galaxy is a 9.9/10 then galaxy 2 is a 10/10
also you can just call mostly subjective criteria objective, like fun, you cant tell me whats fun and whats not
in galaxy i was defiantly bored or frustrated a few time, while in galaxy 2 i quite literally had a blast from the beginning to the end
tho i cant expect everyone's experience to be the same, this is just a piece of advice for your next videos
Galaxy 2 is only really better from a level design standpoint. The first Galaxy feels so much grander with its story elements.
@@cheeseboi588 ok :/ this is still a mario game and gameplay is king
@@user-bb2op9he1x I mean it's basically dlc to Galaxy 1
@@cheeseboi588 no? its a stand alone sequel with more levels than galaxy and it was released on its own disc in 2010 and its titled Galaxy 2, the best 3d mario game for so many people
@@user-bb2op9he1x It really doesn't add too much besides yoshi and a big bowser, but yeah it is pretty good
