| | My hope is to help make the SMG article on par with the best of the wiki (i.e. Super Mario World, Super Mario 3D World, the Donkey Kong Country games), and to use it as a reference for other Super Mario game articles. To me, these games are the heart of the franchise and it'd be nice if the articles can have some uniformity between them. I never intended to fully invest in just this one game, but as a person, it can be hard to move on when it feels like there is still work to be done. My hope is to bring some of what is done here to Super Mario Sunshine, Galaxy 2, and Odyssey. |

| | • First Super Mario title to benefit from a full orchestra |
| |align=center style="background:#FFFFFF"|[[File:LaunchStar.png|x65px]]<br>[[Launch Star]]
| | |
| |Floating Stars near the surface of planets that launch Mario to distant areas when [[Spin|spun]] near. Some yellow [[Luma]]s transform into Launch Stars when freed by [[Mario]].
| | • Longtime ambition of Koji Kondo to see proper orchestration integrated into a video game |
| |-
| | |
| |align=center style="background:#FFFFFF"|[[File:SMG Asset Model Pull Star.png|x65px]]<br>[[Pull Star]]
| | • Kondo was met with reluctance due to expenses, but it was explored with promotional pieces for The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess |
| |Floating Stars that are interacted with the [[Star Cursor]]. Moving the cursor over a Pull Stars and holding {{button|wii|A}} pulls Mario to it. Gently pressing {{button|wii|A}} again, pressing {{button|wii|Z}}, or spinning releases Mario from the Pull Star. A Pull Star is at the center of every dome on the [[Comet Observatory]]. Blue Lumas can transform into them.
| | |
| |-
| | • Ultimately given the greenlight in this case in part due to complementation of the game’s premise; orchestral soundtracks have accompanied some of the most recognizable movies in science fiction, such as Star Wars and 2001: A Space Odyssey |
| |align=center style="background:#FFFFFF"|[[File:Sling Star.png|x65px]]<br>[[Sling Star]]
| | |
| |Diminutive Launch Star-like objects that sling Mario towards a neighboring planet when spun near.

| |-
| | |
| |align=center style="background:#FFFFFF"|[[File:SMG Asset Model Warp Pipe.png|x65px]]<br>[[Warp Pipe|Pipe]]
| | • Kondo took him under his wing, and directed him in developing a bold, orchestral sound for Super Mario Galaxy |
| |Pipes going through the ground that transport Mario to new areas. He enters one when {{button|wii|A}} is pressed while on top of one. Some pipes lead Mario to otherworldly bonus areas.
| | |
| |-
| | • Quote from Kondo on “if you think Mario is cute, stop that. Mario is cool.” |
| |align=center style="background:#FFFFFF"|[[File:SMG Asset Model Warp Pad.png|65px]]<br>[[Warp Pad]]
| | |
| |Transport panels that transport Mario along a curved beacon of light from one part of the [[Comet Observatory]] to another. More Warp Pads become available as energy is restored to the observatory. They are not in any of the galaxies.
| | • Scenario where both Kondo and Yokota presented pieces to Miyamoto for his opinion, validating Kondo |

| |align=center style="background:#FFFFFF"|[[File:SMG Asset Model Key Door.png|x65px]]<br>[[Key Door]]
| | • Formation of Mario Galaxy Orchestra |
| |Doors that open when Mario makes contact with a [[key]].

| | |
| |Twisting [[Beanstalk|vine]]s that sprout from the base of defeated [[Piranha Plant]]s. Mario grabs and swings up one by spinning. Sproutle Vines enable Mario to travel from one planetoid to another.

| |align=center style="background:#FFFFFF"|[[File:SMG Asset Model Cannon.png|x65px]]<br>[[Cannon]]
| | • When Mario Galaxy gets “quiet” |
| |Cannons that launch Mario to distant areas. They are accessed like pipes. Entering one shifts the screen perspective to inside the cannon and turns to Star Cursor into a reticle symbol. Aiming the cursor on screen and pressing {{button|wii|A}} fires Mario.
| | |
| |-
| | |
| |align=center style="background:#FFFFFF"|[[File:SMG Screenshot Bubble.png|x65px]]<br>[[Bubble]]
| | Staff |
| |Big bubbles that are moved by the Star Cursor. Mario becomes trapped inside one when he touches it. The Star Cursor turns into an air-blowing nozzle that pushes the bubble with {{button|wii|A}}. Pressing {{button|wii|Z}} releases Mario.
| | |

| |align=center style="background:#FFFFFF"|[[File:SMG Asset Model Star Ball.png|x65px]]<br>[[Star Ball|Rolling Ball]]
| | |
| |Translucent orbs that contain Power Stars. Mario takes control of one when he jumps on top of it. The ball is steered by shifting {{Button|wii|Wiimote}}. Reaching the goal causes the Rolling Ball to break and release its Power Star.
| | • Jungle Beat’s development and the quality of the finished title informed Miyamoto’s decision to allow them to develop a mainline Super Mario title, the first new one since New Super Mario Bros. and the first 3D one since Super Mario Sunshine |

| |Clumps of adhesive spider silk. Mario becomes stuck to one when he makes contact with it. Pointing on it with the Star Cursor and holding {{button|wii|A}} pulls back on the Spring Pod. Releasing {{button|wii|A}} slings Mario a great distance.
| | |
| |-
| | • SMG is his debut as solo director, after co-directing Super Mario Sunshine with “what’s their face” |

| | • Yokota on addressing issues with spatial navigation in 3D games |
| |A vortex of desert winds that moves back and forth along a set path. Making contact will trap Mario within its gusts, but this does not damage him. Mario is propelled high into the air like a {{wp|bamboo-copter}} if he tries to spin.
| | |
| |-
| | • Miyamoto on his dissatisfaction with Super Mario Sunshine’s development and the finished title, and how this informed development choices in SMG |
| |align=center style="background:#FFFFFF"|[[File:SMG Asset Model Trapeze Bar.png|x65px]]<br>[[Trapeze|Swing]]

Blocks that contain [[coin]]s and some that have [[Star Bit]]s can be jumped under in rapid succession to release more than one. Most ? Blocks become empty blocks when there contents are exhausted. There are ? Blocks containing Star Bits that burst immediately when jumped under. Some are invisible and only become viewable once interacted with.

| |-
| | • SMG released during a period when the strength of Japan-based video game studios was generally thought to be on the decline, in part due to the rise of development in American studios to great financial success and the general marketing trends of the industry |
| |align=center style="background:#FFFFFF"|[[File:SMG Asset Model Crate.png|x65px]]<br>[[Crate]]
| | |
| |Wooden boxes which rest on the ground. They contain items or [[Goomba]]s. They release their contents when spun near or ground-pounded, which breaks the Crate.
| | • Well respected Japanese publishers such as Capcom, Konami, Sega, and Nintendo themselves had attempted to significantly retool some of their established franchises for western audiences; most of these attempts were not received well and sold terribly |
| |-
| | |
| |align=center style="background:#FFFFFF"|[[File:SMG Asset Model Treasure Chest.png|x65px]]<br>[[Treasure chest]]
| | • SMG was not artistically compromised by this trend and it was something noted by commentators at the time; its success at BAFTA over Call of Duty was described as a surprise; its reliance on providing accessible, rewarding fun was considered unique at the time (see comparison to Heavy Rain) |
| |Wooden treasure chests that contain items. One opens when a [[Koopa Shell]]s is thrown at it.
| | |
| |-
| | • Though not attributed as the catalyst to the rival of Japanese studios, the critical acclaim and commercial success of SMG was viewed as evidence that Japan was still a significant player in the video game industry |
