Super Mario Galaxy
Super Mario Galaxy
Super Mario Galaxy, développé par Nintendo Entertainment Analysis & Development et édité par Nintendo, est sorti le 1er novembre 2007 sur Wii et Wii U. Ce jeu d'aventure et de plateforme en 3D, premier titre de la franchise Super Mario sur Wii, met en scène Mario sautant à travers des planètes et des galaxies aux ennemis, géographies et mécaniques de gravité variés, afin d'atteindre Bowser, qui a attaqué le Royaume Champignon et emporté le château de la Princesse Peach avec elle à l'intérieur. L'histoire débute lorsque, tous les cent ans, une comète traverse le ciel du Royaume Champignon : une année, ce astre a rempli le ciel et projeté des étoiles filantes ramassées par les Toads, reformées en une grande Étoile de Pouvoir, jusqu'à ce que Peach invite Mario au festival des étoiles avant qu'un événement survienne.
Le jeu affiche une note agrégée de 93,72 et propose une durée de 13 heures pour l'histoire principale et 35 heures pour une complétion intégrale. La presse a salué son excellence, comme Deeko qui a écrit qu'il est rare de jouer à un jeu parfait ou s'en approchant et que Galaxy correspond à ce modèle, ou GamePro qui a estimé que le titre repousse les limites de ce que la Wii peut offrir. Certains joueurs sur Metacritic ont exprimé leur affection pour ce « fun little 3D Mario » investissant des dizaines d'heures, tout en regrettant la facilité des boss et en souhaitant des modes de difficulté supplémentaires.

Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« It's rare to play through a perfect game or one that nears perfection, but Galaxy definitely fits that mold. »
« Super Mario Galaxy raises the bar in terms of what can be achieved on the Wii. Galaxy is the kind of game that you're going to want to take your time with because there is just so much to do in the game. This is the first game in a long time that I've actually gone back and replayed levels just for fun. It's everything you loved about Mario 64 and nothing you hated about "Super Mario Sunshine." »
« Where Galaxy matches "Mario 64" is not quite in its quality of execution - alongside the brilliance of some stars are others which fall a bit flat, and there isn't the overall sense of implacable perfection that that game had - but in its confidence and originality. »
« Super Mario Galaxy is without doubt the finest game Nintendo have produced this decade - endorsements don’t come much stronger than that. »
« If you enjoy playing the best, then you absolutely need to play Super Mario Galaxy. It's our favorite Wii game this year, and a strong contender for the best game of the year. »
« It’s got megatons of style, inventiveness, playability and replayability…and all the while, it still manages to feel like sunshine, candy and the glory days of 3D console videogaming yore. »
« There’s such a great deal of diversity throughout Super Mario Galaxy’s level design that it’s hard not to get excited when a new area opens, knowing that there’s a whole new set of puzzles and obstacles designed around the theme of the level...It’s because of these moments that Super Mario Galaxy generates a consistent level of excitement throughout the entire experience that few games can replicate. »
« A giant leap for the platforming genre. Freed from the shackles of traditional 3-D platforming, the game is much more than just "Mario 64" set in space. I never thought I’d describe a Mario game as “epic," but that’s exactly what it is. »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« Galaxy is a fun little 3D Mario, it’s hard not to love it. The game is fun and charming, one people can invest tens of hours into beating, and rebeating. »
« Perfect game just the bosses are so easy, it would be great to add a different difficulty mods »
« Super Mario Galaxy is one of Mario's greatest adventures, combining creative level design with a unique space setting that gives the game a sense of wonder few platformers can match. The gravity mechanics constantly introduce new ideas, and the soundtrack is easily one of the best in the series. What makes Galaxy stand out is its atmosphere. The combination of the music, visuals, and the feeling of traveling through the universe gives the game a soul that many later Mario titles struggle to replicate. Every world feels memorable, and the adventure never loses its sense of magic. »
« This one's a really good Mario game there are a ton of levels and tons to do and it is just one of a kind except the sequel I guess LOL »
« This game is literally the best in the world. The universe, the level design, the soundtrack, everything is perfect. This game made me who I am today. »
« Calling this game anything other than a masterpiece is straight up wrong. The only flaw with the franchise is that nintendo never wanted to make another game »
