Now Viewing: super_mario_galaxyTag type: Copyright Refers to images that reference this Mario game. The first game was released on November 1st, 2007 for the Nintendo Wii. It is a 3d Mario platformer for the Wii. Bowser launches his most ambitious plan yet; remaking the entire universe in his image with Peach by his side, as usual. This time Mario collaborates with the mysterious Princess Rosalina and her Lumas and heads into space, traversing across numerous galaxies and planets in his quest to rescue Peach. The game and its sequel notably feature orchestral music primarily composed by Yokota Mahito with some pieces by Kondo Koji and others. The game originally was going to have a Latin-esque soundtrack due to Yokota thinking that that was 'Mario music' but Kondo firmly rejected all of the pieces Yokota originally composed. Yokota was later inspired to do an orchestral soundtrack after submitting three pieces of different musical genres to Miyamoto. Miyamoto picked the orchestral piece as his favorite, which was composed by Kondo, and Yokota decided to assemble a symphony orchestra to play the pieces he and Kondo composed. Yokota would go on to compose more orchestral pieces for future Nintendo games like Skyward Sword and Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Super Mario 3d World. One piece in particular, the theme to Wind Galaxy (Gusty Garden in English releases), has become the main theme for the Super Mario Galaxy subseries as a whole. The game is based around gravity mechanics. Many of the levels play around with gravity and black holes take the role of the series' trademark bottomless pits. The level designs of both games are more linear than previous 3D Mario games, making the games closer to the 2D games in style. Super_Mario_Galaxy_2 is similar in style but is deliberately designed to be more difficult with many levels having more black holes that will kill the player. The first game is directed by Koizumi Yoshiaki and produced by Miyamoto_Shigeru. The second game is directed by Hayashida Koichi with Koizumi producing alongside Miyamoto. The artwork is done by Motokura_Kenta. The game is inspired by concepts from the scrapped Super Mario 128 game and the 1943 book The Little Prince. The game was highly successful with both critics and the general audience. The game sold 11.72 million copies worldwide and is the highest rated game on the review aggregate website GameRankings as well as the third highest ranking on Metacritic. Rosalina went on to appear in subsequent Mario Kart games and has become a popular recurring character in the Mario franchise. The game has also received a stage based off of it in Super Smash Bros. 4; the stage also makes use of gravity mechanics that Super Mario Galaxy is built around. Luigi is playable in both games, but must be unlocked first. Introduces: Rosalina_(Mario) Luma Sequel: Super_Mario_Galaxy_2 Related: Mario_Kart Super_Smash_Bros.
