gamingJul 24, 20261853

Super Mario Galaxy 2's Metacritic score was updated from 97 to 98, vaulting it to the third highest rated game of all time. The posts that followed zeroed in on Galaxy 2's continuing space journey and how its exclusive moments sit alongside Super Mario Galaxy, with nostalgia threaded through mentions of a cinema screening tie-in and a copy of the original game showing voice actor autographs. The moment also highlighted a competitive milestone, with Jhay's 120-star world record being shared alongside calls for a possible Super Mario Galaxy 3.

Take a good look at this copy of Super Mario Galaxy for Wii, because it’s the last time you’ll see it without voice actor autographs.

The box for the Wii version of Super Mario Galaxy, without voice actor autographs.

The problem with this comes 1) when you ignore The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, and 2) If Avengers comes out and brings in $1 billion as well.

32: Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Nintendo Switch) Hard to describe. So similar to 1 that I sometimes forget what's exclusive to each (and what's shared), which messes with my perspective of both games somewhat. Given how similar they are, I don't mind the tradeoff of story for gameplay that much.

The box art for Super Mario Galaxy 2's Switch release. Next to the game's title is Co-Star Luma. Above the title is Mario, Yoshi, and a generic Luma soaring through space. To the left is the Starship Mario and two planets, one with Dash Yoshi and a Hungry Luma. To the right is two more planets, one very close to the camera with Blimp Yoshi rising off it, and one very far away.

Hot Take Of The Week #2: Since we've been getting a TON of Mario Galaxy updates in their recent games, I think Nintendo will make Super Mario Galaxy 3 by the end of 2026 or early 2027!

Super Mario Bros. would have been, "These Fuckin' Guys" Super Mario Bros. 2 would have been, These Fuckin' Guys Again!?" Super Mario Galaxy would be, "This Fuckin' Guy Thinks He's a Fuckin' Astronaut Over Here"
