How does this have less than 300 views? This was in my recommended, I’m super happy it was too! I think a lot of those who played it were impacted by it. I sucked terribly at all the race challenges but I pushed through nearly every single one despite how many times I had to retry. I hope this gets the attention it deserves on this platform!!
Funny you say that, because I actually only had 75 to start the day. But anyways, thanks for the kind words! I’ll keep making good content so stay tuned!
I remember getting this game along with Mario Kart Wii when I was younger (I was probably 6 or 7) and could not for the life of me get past the first Galaxy. I still have distinct memories of getting stuck on the planet in Dino Piranha with the big rolling boulders you have to spin in the small red spot to break. I would die there over and over and over again and eventually gave up. However, the absolute magic of the game’s opening and the entirety of the first mission (Gateway Galaxy) stuck with me. Not only that, but playing Mario Kart Wii, with all of its various pieces adopted from Galaxy, steered me back towards the game again and again. And eventually, I got better. I got past those big rolling boulders, fought Dino Piranha, and worked my way through the game. I don’t remember much of that initial full playthrough, but the game stuck with me. It stuck with me for so long that eventually I went back and replayed the entire game, this time with the goal of 100%ing it. Yes, even with Luigi. And I did it. Years later, with the release of 3D All-Stars, I did it again. And I did it one more time just last year. I’ve completely 100%’d Super Mario Galaxy three separate times and it still remains one of the most touching and consistently, stellarly fun experiences I’ve ever had PERIOD, and my appreciation for the game only grows and grows with each subsequent playthrough. Your video here illustrated my love for this game so perfectly. It came at just the right time in my life and formed what I view to be peak platforming potential in a video game. Nothing else even compares (except maybe Galaxy 2… lol)
This video perfectly word’s everything I feel about this game in ways I don’t know how to. Galaxy is probably the most incredible game ever made and this video just put a huge lump into my throat and made me cry remembering this masterpiece. Thank you
super high quality video! Keep up the great work, audio is balanced well, video is edited in an easy to digest yet still enjoyable and informative, earned my sub and respect, looking forward to future videos!
@@truest9954 I’m glad you enjoyed! You can count on more where that came from! Just have a little patience, these kinds of videos do take some time to craft. Glad to have you as a viewer!
I’ve never thought of the thank you messages like that when completing a game. I’ve completed the Pokédex in Pokémon games a few times but I’ve never really let the thank you messages from the developers sink in or anything. Great video 👍 also what did you think about Super Mario Galaxy 2 when that came out?
@@A_Ali173 not quite the same feeling as the first game to me. It was good, but it felt like they were just trying to make a sequel just because the first one went over so well. It felt a little bit rushed to me. Not a bad game though.
@@malactwo8785 I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Unfortunately subs don’t just come in thousands at this size very often. Small channels take some time to grow. But this video has brought me 20 ish subscribers and 1000 views, which is pretty good all things considered. Stay tuned for more of these kinds of videos in the future
@@LWinsDoin0oh so you weren’t kidding… the problem is I really can’t do anything about it and they’re going to rake in way more views than me. But that’s just unfortunately how this platform goes. I’ll really know if they steal from me when I release my next video essay though. But anyways, thank you for pointing it out to me. And I suppose you know you made a good video when someone with 200k subs steals your idea.
Sure hope so! It’s nice to see so many people commenting. I worked on this video for 12 hours straight so it’s good to see it’s paying off a little bit
@@cameronjamessmith9141 I agree. My issue with odyssey is how many moons there are. It’s near impossible to find all of them on your own, and a lot of them are just hidden in dumb places. I like odyssey a lot, but I think they went too large with the game.
All of you diehard SMG fans need to play Outer Wilds I swear. I feel like half of the people who say SMG is their favorite game of all time are going to have a new favorite game after they play it.
Is that just because of the space theme of Outer Wilds? Genuinely curious because I have never played the game or even watched it before. Just wanted to know if it has the same charm of SMG. Let me know and MAYBE I could do a series on it...
@@Hunteryells Does it have the same charm as SMG? Boy oh boy are you in for a treat my guy. Trust me as someone who loves both of these games tremendously.
This game is by far the best Mario game in my opinion. There's just something so magical about it. From the fantastic soundtrack, gameplay, power ups, level design, and even the story. It was so refreshing to have more to a Mario story than just "peach kidnapped, go save her" we get a whole new character who has a backstory that could make anyone cry. I didn't play the sequel as much, and honestly I'm grateful for that because I just prefer to pretend it doesn't exist. Not that it's bad, I just don't like that it stripped away everything that made the first game special and still got called a sequel when in actuality it's just another standard Mario game, but running on the Galaxy engine. And theres nothing wrong with the standard Mario formula, it's simply just the fact that the whole point of Galaxy was *not* to follow it. How hard would it have been to expand upon the story of the first game? The developers' decisions baffle me sometimes
@@jesse4437 I agree. The first game was a huge success and then they got lazy for the sequel. Having the starship Mario instead of the comet observatory was a huge downgrade, and the level selection was lackluster too. It definitely took away from the charm of the original that made it so memorable.
Perfect game? Nah, the whole thing feels like on long tutorial and controlling Mario feels like moving a mouse cursor on the lowest sensitivity. Yeah the presentation is good but in terms of gameplay and movement its less interesting than every other 3D Mario game, and even some 2D ones. Also Mario Galaxy being the hardest Mario game to date? What? Not even close dude it's definitely one of the easiest.
perfect game if you like trash. mario movements are trash sluggish and super floaty jumps, over bad controls for mario, platforming is replaced in most of the game by running on spheres with bad camera angles and doing brain dead thing like killing goombas to get shot to another sphere, extremely linear with no secrerts or exploring its a trash game but yiu think it was good cause you played it when you were 13.
Just say you're bad at the game. Everything you just said about the game is the point of the game. It's supposed to have floaty jumps, it is in space after all. And I wouldn't say the movements are trash at all. They are just slower than SM 64 or even Odyssey's movements, and that's the point. The pace of the game is meant to be slower so you can take in the atmosphere of the game rather than trying to speedrun the game. But hey, to each their own.
@@Hunteryells @issacdragon3834 1 hour ago (edited) Mario fun comes from speed running and great platforming with great controls, mario galaxy sacrifices all that for running around little spheres doing pointless things like killing enemies so you shoot to another sphere. mario games always had great atmosphere i find space the most boring. also levels are extremely linear with very little secrets or exploring, it nothing to with being bad at the game as it offers very little challenge and most of the challenge comes from bad controls or camera angles.
Love is a short word for what I do feel for Mario Galaxy. I had the opportunity to complete it on Wii. Later on the switch I enjoyed watching my mother Rosalina again, the one who raised me as a kid and now is still watching over me as an adult
I'm really glad this video found the audience it was intended for. It's so cool seeing everyone in the comments sharing the same love I have for the game.
This deserves way more attention. A beautifully constructed script and video. Thank you for sharing a part of your childhood with us all
It’s my pleasure. I’m just happy to see so many people enjoying it 🥹
2007 in general was when Mario peaked. Mario Strikers Charged, Super Paper Mario, And this game were the three horsemen of the Wahoo Swan Song.
I never played Mario Strikers or Super Paper Mario, but I do remember how popular those games were

Recommended video out of nowhere, real interesting look into the game and its history. Keep up the great work!
Thank you! And don’t worry, I will
Wdym out of nowhere? That’s how recommended works

4:53 damn no wonder Luigi’s Purple Coins was so hard. Mario getting possessed here
😂 just wanted to show me dying in the pit. So I just jumped right in

@@straycat6214 this game makes me tear up too. The music especially gets me
Loved the vid, you should 100% the game as Luigi and beat bowser again for the final secret level and picture. Maybe do a series on that run.
@@LWinsDoin0 I’m already doing a series 100% with Mario. Maybe I’ll hop onto my main account and do one with Luigi too! We’ll have to see
@@Hunteryells I'd love to see it, especially if you get to play the real final level.

Im shoxked a video of this quality has so little views and attention, this is at least like 10k sub worthy and that at the very least.

this is such a good video you deserve a lot more subs

It’s being recommended to peeps! This is gonna blow up!

can u make a super mario galaxy 2 vid
To be fair, that one wasn't as good or impactful
@@jesse4437 dont get mad but that was my first mario game ever so i like it more that my opinion
@@zillionz2agreed. I think objectively I’d give galaxy 1 a slight edge but honestly the quality was kept up through the second one as well
my nev fav youtber fr
Appreciate that! Means a lot to me
🔥🔥🔥
Perfect video.

This game is better then Super Mario Oddesy. There I said it
