Super Mario Galaxy 1 or 2

au contraier (or however you spell it), Super Mario Galaxy 2 ranks among my most hated Mario games I've ever played.

Au contraire, I think that's rather harsh, especially in a series that has Hotel Mario, Mario's Time Machine, Mario is Missing, and others that, in my opinion, are actually worth getting angry about in comparison to a game whose biggest crime is repeating too much.
 
I don't hate those games as much because I have zero expectations for them to begin with.
 
The first one definitely felt closer to 64 and Sunshine, but both games have amazing soundtracks.
 
I see them as the same game
especially since SMG2 was originally supposed to be an add on for the first one
 
My feelings haven't change since this topic first started

Super Mario Galaxy>>>>Distance from Milkyway to Andromeda>>>>>Super Mario Galaxy 2
 
I definitely prefer the first Super Mario Galaxy, as the second is a bit too much linear with less memorable levels and cutscenes too, overall I think the first is superior to the second in almost all aspects except soundtrack (they are both on par I think) and the lack of :yoshi:
 
I feel like they're pretty close, but I generally go with the first one. It had above-average story for Mario games while SMG2 was fairly standard, the observatory and Rosalina are better than Starship Mario and Lubba (although traveling deeper into the universe with Starship Mario does have it's appeal), and like Mister Wu said, it has more memorable levels. They're both great games though, and you gotta appreciate being able to play twice as much Galaxy-style gameplay than you would with only one game.
 
I too still have very strong feelings for the first one, and also, remember, some galaxies were open for exploration, like Beach Bowl, Sea Slide, Honeyhop and Golden Leaf, and the first part of That lava level, forgot its name.

Oh and also the mountain planet of Freezeflame, let’s not forget that.
 
i forget what my answer was, but i gotta go with the second one just a tad more, love those levels, love yoshi, love the co-star luma so my sister has something to do while she watches me play (i would say girlfriend, but i dont have one of those)

of course, neither galaxy can hold a candle to 64, sunshine, and from what ive seen and heard, odyssey
 
I prefer the first. I love both but the second kinda felt like they wanted to do more with the first game's mechanics but got lazy with the plot (I guess the universe reset after Galaxy 1, but the plot is still weaker in the sequel. Still fun AF)
 
They're both great. I'd say the second has an advantage with Yoshi and some cool level ideas, but overall the first one wins out with plot and just sheer originality factor.
