I do like land but I have had several annoying deaths where I accidentally walked off a ledge. Something that generally doesn't happen for me in these types of games.

That's something I felt too. Game lacks some serious Coyote Time.

I didn't know that that's a thing that game devs know about. I always blamed whenever that happens on myself in say Mario Party.

What I love about it is that it fits the theming extremely well (though not perfectly as in space usually invites open-endedness but Galaxy is the opposite of space by railroading you everywhere). Space is full of debris and is often desolate and dark (though I really liked how they put the bright orange in part of the skybox that contrasts really well with the other parts of the level). The piano tune, however, puts a really serene spin on something that has a rather industrial name. It's even melancholic as it's covered in spiderwebs and you see the tattered Hocotate floating around. I enjoyed the part with the floating bits coalescing into bridges for you to walk on but also with those black holes everywhere and the tense music that contrasts with the rest of the level.

But yeah, overall, Space Junk is great, it really does capture the essence of being outer space, something that Gusty Garden and a painful amount of galaxies later on failed to deliver (especially in Galaxy 2), and Galaxy 2 brought back space junk but in a really cheap fashion (in Cloudy Court Galaxy) that left a bad taste making me miss Galaxy 1 rather than enjoy Galaxy 2.
 
Space Junk is easily one of my top five favorite galaxies across both Galaxy 1 and Galaxy 2. The level is extremely atmospheric and the music really helps that feel.

I cannot stress it enough on how much good soundtracks are extremely important to game design.
 
I like the music of Bowser's Galaxy Generator.

Gusty Garden is perfectly fine and I like it, it's just that a lot of the other songs do what it does better.
 
Honestly, I don't remember anything from Bowser's Galaxy Generator but maybe because Galaxy 2 for me was just such a unimpressive "look at what we did in Galaxy 1" sort of game.
