Pros and cons for Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 List of reviews and ratings
To better compare, we looked for you the advantages and disadvantages of Below and the notes given by specialized sites.
No "Pros & Cons" find at Shacknews


Adventures as epic as they are endearing
Harmony and her Lumas, still present today
Gameplay that has not aged
A level design as varied as it is relevant
A very well mastered rhythm
A magnificent artistic direction
One of the best soundtracks in the history of video games
More beautiful than ever on Nintendo Switch and especially on Nintendo Switch 2.
Any significant additions?
A lazy remaster sold at a high price
Some minor issues dating back 15 years: temperamental camera, Mario spinning in circles.


240 stars are 240 Nintendo ideas one after the other.
The new features, although they may seem few in number, are thoughtful. They are designed for both new players and those revisiting these works.
If the story of the first installment is not much, Galaxy 2 recycles it in its simplest essence to focus entirely on gameplay and its new ideas.
No "Pros & Cons" find at Le Bêta-Testeur


The originality of its level system
The unprecedented expenditure of creativity in the saga.
Unique staging within the Super Mario franchise
Slightly refreshed graphics
Some new content for the biggest fans of the plumber.
Some unresolved camera angles


Gameplay and a story that have aged wonderfully.
Improvements and additions that enhance the experience.
No "Pros & Cons" find at Nintendúo


Stunning visual enhancements and texture upgrades
New storybook elements are fun, albeit inconsequential
Switch 2 owners get mouse controls for Co-Star Mode
Assist Mode may prove useful to newcomers
Sudden camera changes can mess with your directional inputs
Inessential if you own both games on Wii
No "Pros & Cons" find at PCGames
No "Pros & Cons" find at VideoChums


Both titles combined make this the most robust, polished, and varied 3D platformers ever made, with Galaxy 2 being a denser and more challenging experience
Super Mario Galaxy 2 has some of the greatest platforming challenges of all time
Absolutely magical musical score that captures a profound sense of wonderment
Rosalina's storybook has a new chapter in Galaxy, while Galaxy 2 gets its own original storybook that could be a set up to something huge
Many of the 120 green stars in Galaxy 2 are disappointing
The gyroscope is still a poor substitute for the IR-pointer




The updates in the control system are well implemented.
Two classics in one.
Content almost identical to the 2007 and 2010 versions.


Artistically excellent to listen to and to see...
Just enough longevity...
A grandiose narrative component, now valued.
An avalanche of gameplay ideas, especially in the second one.
Very well, cooperation and accessibility
... without interfering more than necessary
by exploiting a few tricks
No "Pros & Cons" find at Pure Nintendo


The dynamics of gravity continue to feel fresh even after so many years.
Playing with a Joy-Con in each hand is the ultimate way to enjoy these games.
Music is a delight and the final touch added to the visuals was well done.
Yoshi


Beautiful environments
A long and rich game
Unprecedented pleasure
Two exceptional games brought together
Relatively linear compared to others
The minimum requirement for technical update
The controls in tablet mode are not convenient.

No "Pros & Cons" find at GameScore.it


Gameplay always excellent
Outstanding soundtrack


Large volume (minimum 15-20 hours per game!)
Beautifully designed and diverse worlds
First-class animations and fantastic soundtrack
Several cool bosses and (often) bonus challenge levels.
Playable with Joy-Cons and the Pro Controller as well as with the use of the touchscreen in handheld mode.
Visual improvements are largely good...
With the Pro Controller, sometimes a finicky motion command.


Much more beautiful Switch 2 versions, both docked and portable.
Quite a few small, very pleasant additions here and there.
A golden opportunity to rethink Wiimote gameplay was missed.
Original content that honestly leaves you wanting more


Better graphics
Smooth in portable format
Still holds up
High price tag


Large amount of gameplay hours, with a special mention for SMG2 and its superiority in terms of gameplay.
The additions are not bad, such as the help mode or the new chapters.
We could have taken the opportunity to include one more game and give more coherence to the birthday celebration.


Unrivaled playful virtuosities
An interactive story, for scenarios and characters
Excellent soundtrack
Blessed game design
Some details, controls, and level design should be updated.


+ 2 in the same game
Improved graphics
Assistance mode for young players
Additional content for Rosalina
Graphically well improved, but could still be a little better here and there.
The camera cannot be freely rotated like in Mario Odyssey.


Level design that still impresses even today.
Beautiful technical domain, suitable for modern devices.
The management system offers options for all players.
An addition of new equipment that could appeal to some players...
...without necessarily talking about something impressive.
The need to see a new Super Mario game that will offer us similar experiences and not just a remaster.


You start without any further preamble in the action.
Assisted mode for those who want to make things easier
Bonus star fragments or bonus lives when scanning compatible Amiibos
Each imposing volume lasting over 20 hours
The planetary approach brings interesting perspectives and gravity games.
Great creativity in the levels
Lumas and Rosalina are charming
The graphic style has aged well...
Improved textures
Cut scenes now without black bars
4K resolution in the dock on Switch 2
The orchestra's soundtrack enters the ear.
Some new pieces of music
Player 2 can help minimally with a pointer (similar to Mario Odyssey)
In 2-player mode, mouse functionality is supported by Switch 2.
Non-continuous adjustable camera
Not many new things
A mundane story at 99 percent
... some details but not at all
Staircase effect (particularly visible on Switch 1)
Non-skippable cinematic scenes


Fantastic music
Improved pointer controls
Gorgeous new textures
Controls can mess up occasionally
Could use more options for pointer functionality


Intelligent translation of original commands into multiple options
Inclusion of both chapters in a single pack.
Additional improvements such as assisted and cooperative modes.
Lack of significant additional content in addition to the restoration
For those who have already played it several times, the added value may seem limited.


Joy-Con 2s handle the motion controls quite well
Plays great on handheld


The mechanics of gravity remain unique and brilliant.
Sublime and timeless artistic direction
Exceptional orchestral soundtrack
60fps stable and excellent fluidity
Two of the best Mario games ever created


Beautiful remastered graphics with vibrant colors.
Impeccably orchestrated soundtrack.
Fun for new players, and nostalgic for veterans.

Des surprises nombreuses et originales, un peu plus nombreuses encore dans Mario Galaxy 2
Plusieurs façons de jouer, aussi bien dans les mers que dans les airs, avec de nombreuses facultés de Mario (et de Yoshi !) à découvrir
Un vaisseau spatial de plus en plus peuplé, avec quelques bonus à découvrir
Des graphismes de toute beauté, avec des jeux de lumière qui nous invitent à ralentir la partie simplement pour les contempler !
Des musiques et des bruitages que nous adorons (re)découvrir
Le mode assistance dans cette nouvelle version permet à tous les joueurs d'apprécier les aventures
Une belle durée de vie pour les amateurs du 100% !
La gyroscopie peut être un peu frustrante... il va falloir faire avec !
Quelques mouvements bizarres (Mario qui semble tourner sur lui même) : l'effet de la gravité ?
Un tarif bien trop onéreux pour toutes celles et ceux qui ont déjà les jeux originaux


Both games look fantastic, especially on a Switch 2
A few nice additions like Assist Mode and new story content
Mouse control in co-op works a treat
Price points are a bit rough
Compromised controls in handheld mode

The renovated graphics section leaves no doubt: we are dealing with the best version of both titles.
The possibility to enjoy at any time a soundtrack that tells the story of the video game.
Beyond the small extension of Estela's book, there are no significant new content updates.
With the Pro controller and detached Joy-Cons, it works very well, but collecting star pieces in handheld mode is a bit tedious.

Significant revisions in terms of graphics and controls.
about 20 hours of gameplay each
very precise control
Assisted mode helps beginners.
Amiibo support, if you need it
very high price point
Pointable only via Joy-Con or gyroscopic.
Compared to others, the camera is quite limited.
