Maybe I'm biased cause I don't play a lot of Mario games, but I swear there's almost no Mario games coming close to this one. I haven't played Super Mario Odyssey since I've never even TOUCHED a Nintendo Switch, but it looks good. I also briefly played the sequel to this but lost it. Mario Galaxy was on the Wii which was a weak (but amazing) console, yet still it pulls off being amazing. The setting is different, instead of the Mushroom Kingdom and we go to Bowser or Peach's castle like most Mario games, Bowser instead takes us into Space exploring different galaxies and planets, all of which having a different setting and feel. The Wii's motion controls are integrated perfectly in this game, the spin attack is pretty fun as well, knocking over a goomba then kicking them into Star Bits is satisfying, as well as it allowing us to jump higher and correct our movements. If utilized correctly this move can be pretty useful. The soundtrack is, oh my just so amazing. Sometimes even when I just go to the mission select when going to a galaxy, I just sit there for minutes just listening to the music. The visuals too are pretty good for a Wii game in 480i quality. There's also so many galaxies and missions to do, it takes a while to finish and that's a good thing. If a game has lots of content that takes time to 100% that's a big plus in my book. Something modern games struggle to do *cough* halo infinite. I'm not the best at summing up why some games are good, but trust me if you like plenty of levels to beat, platforming, Nintendo and the Wii and it's motion controls, this is going to be one heck of a ride for you.
