Ok, seeing as how I\u2019ve been nominated for 20 academy trophies I figure I\u2019ll make a new review every Saturday, when I have enough time to kill. So this week, I\u2019ll do something, something awesome and remotely interesting. I\u2019m going to tell you about Super Mario Galaxy. Do you ever wonder when I\u2019m going to review a game that\u2019s new? Me too. So let\u2019s begin shall we?<\/p>\n

Super Mario Galaxy lives up to its name, all the things mentioned are involved. I remember when I got my Wii last Christmas; this game was also sitting in that pre-used box of goodies\u2026 Or pre-used box of mostly mediocre Wii games, some of which I haven\u2019t touched yet. I remember how excited I was to start waving my hands around like I just didn\u2019t care, but all that excitement subsided when I realized lying on my couch and flicking my wrist worked just as good. I\u2019ve talked about too much stuff that I shouldn\u2019t have been talking about. Mario, let\u2019s see.<\/p>\n

In the beginning of SMG, some toads start running around picking up star bits, which are like some sort of space currency\/delicacy\/mystical power\/junk\/shiny things.\u00a0 Mario joins in the festivities; you can even use the terrible co-op option to force a friend to watch you play this game while he or she points at the screen to help you collect the star bits. Keep in mind, this game is made for one player to enjoy, and adding two players was some kind of knee-jerk reaction Nintendo had to the very similar and competing title \u201cHalo 3\u201d which featured multi-player co-operation play. So anyways, Mario makes his way to Princess Peach\u2019s castle, (don\u2019t ask me why there isn\u2019t a king or queen, I\u2019ve been wondering that for years,) because some kind of holiday was made up for the raining of star bits on the mushroom kingdom. So once Mario gets to the castle, Bowser shows up out of nowhere and kidnaps Peach. (Honestly, I could have never seen that coming, they really threw me off my moped.) Mario leaps into action, and dies in space. The end. Or some other things that would have really happened in a Mario game, I could really tell you how it ends, it\u2019s a Mario game. They\u2019re always the same thing. Mario gets Peach back, there.<\/p>\n

SMG was a good ride, and is totally worth playing through multiple times, not only does it feature some of the best replay ability value, but it also features Luigi, which is every body\u2019s favorite tall, skinny Italian plumber. I would suggest getting the second game over this if you already don\u2019t own this game; you won\u2019t really be missing out on any signature Mario action if you skip this one. One key part of this game, are the aneurism levels, these are the kinds of levels filled with all the close calls that any rational human being would say \u201cScrew it, that chick is not worth all the hassle. She wants some brave guy to come over and save her from Bowser, she\u2019s gonna have to get another guy.\u201d And then go home and eat some Cheetos. Mario just says \u201cOh yeah.\u201d And he keeps on going. There are so many of these levels that I developed a sixth sense that allows me to tell ahead of time whether or not someone is going to die from some kind of freak incident. I remember doing that thing where you would switch off after completing another level with Calen, and after getting the Wii-mote we would have to pry it out of the hands of the other. It was scary.<\/p>\n

If you enjoy pooping your pants and mustaches, this is the game for you. If you enjoy becoming one of the many brain dead zombies playing Call of Battle 8: Modern Warfield 5, then don\u2019t pick this up. On a scale from shooting 12 year olds who sleep with your mother to heart attacks, SMG gets a really desperate plumber.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[2,5],"tags":[523,522,524],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/reimer.haus\/bse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/445"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/reimer.haus\/bse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/reimer.haus\/bse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reimer.haus\/bse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reimer.haus\/bse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=445"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/reimer.haus\/bse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/445\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1171,"href":"https:\/\/reimer.haus\/bse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/445\/revisions\/1171"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/reimer.haus\/bse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=445"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reimer.haus\/bse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=445"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reimer.haus\/bse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=445"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
