[[Shigeru Miyamoto]] considers ''Super Mario Galaxy'' to be the "true" sequel to ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', not ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. Though this was not stated around the time of its release in 2007, it is internally recognized for having directly informed the structure of the following three 3D ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' games as of 2017, collectively called the course clear-style games.<ref name=switch/> The oldest of these three, ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', is a direct sequel and the first one to be released on the same console as its predecessor since ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]''.{{footnote|main|C}} Building upon the first game's design philosophy, its courses are more linear and reliant on 2D sections. The outer space theming is subdued. Gameplay components like the world map and [[Prankster Comet]]s were greatly simplified. The hub world became a smaller area, and the unique narrative elements of ''Super Mario Galaxy'' were muted. These changes were made to further foster accessibility to a wider audience and reduce dependency on camera controls. This design trend was subsequently expanded upon in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', games that were viewed as adopting more design philosophies from the concurrent ''[[New Super Mario Bros. (series)|New Super Mario Bros.]]'' titles than the hakoniwa principals of prior 3D entries. ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'' was the first 3D game to not be explicitly tied to ''Super Mario Galaxy'' since ''Super Mario Sunshine'', but even this title incorporated elements derived from the game. The [[Moon Kingdom]] in particular was created to visually contrast with the lush, vibrant elements of ''Super Mario Galaxy''{{'}}s levels and incorporated explicit callbacks. [[Gravity]] is generally weaker in the lunar kingdoms, making [[jump]]s feel floatier.
===Setting===
*World adventure on Mario's home world, broadly framed similarly to Super Mario Bros. 3
*Kingdoms are sprawling, vast spaces filled with nooks and crannies
*Largest spaces of any Mario game at the time of its release
*The are environmentally diverse, often reflecting their placement on the globe
*Nearly the entirety of the landscape is tangible and interactable
*Break from recent 3D entries; the physical appearance of an object sometimes betray their function
*Each kingdom has unique topography, flora, fauna
*Most of them are home to an NPC that support their own cultures and societies, and this is also reflected in the landscape
*Ruins, buildings are embedded in the landscape
*Three of the kingdoms are on the moon, where gravity is weaker; moon is a prominent, recurring fixture in the sky on the earth kingdoms, and it is the site of the narrative climax
*Many details are exclusively conveyed in the flavor text of the brochure
*compared to works of Jules Vern, and named after Homer's text; components of the game are similar to Journey to the West


Iconography from ''Super Mario Galaxy'' has been incorporated into nearly all space-themed settings throughout subsequent spinoff games, such as in [[Wii Rainbow Road|Rainbow Road]] from ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' and [[World 8 (Dr. Mario World)|World 8]] from ''[[Dr. Mario World]]'' ([[List of games by date#2019|2019]]). [[Rosalina]] has become a recurring character in these titles in addition to making reappearances in the mainline games. Rosalina often appears alongside older ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' characters in physical Nintendo advertisements, such as at {{wp|Narita International Airport}}. [[Luma]]s, [[Star Bit]]s, and the [[Toad Brigade]] have also become recurring elements in the franchise. The [[Captain Toad|Toad Brigade Captain]] has appeared in four subsequent mainline games and even starred in a [[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker|dedicated title]]. For more specific callbacks to ''Super Mario Galaxy'', see [[#References in later media|below]].


This is the last game directed by [[Yoshiaki Koizumi]], who has taken on the role of producer for subsequent ''Super Mario'' projects. From 2013 to 2023, he was the representative director at [[1-UP Studio]], a sister studio to [[Nintendo EAD]], where he helped facilitate the development of ''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker'', ''Super Mario Odyssey'', and ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'' ([[List of games by date#2021|2021]]). The level-design director for ''Super Mario Galaxy'', [[Koichi Hayashida]], inherited the role of director for all subsequent course clear-style 3D titles. ''Super Mario Galaxy'' was the last ''Super Mario'' title to see "serious" involvement from Miyamoto until ''[[Super Mario Run]]'' ([[List of games by date#2016|2016]]).
*return of sandbox-style 3D action ''Super Mario'' - aligned with Mario 64 and Sunshine (why though? What made them want to do this again?)
*Game embraces surrealism and artistic realism - devs wanted to surprise the player (like Mario 64 character design principals)


''Super Mario Galaxy'' not the first video game to integrate spherical worlds that pan under the player character's feet, but nearly all games that have integrated the concept after ''Super Mario Galaxy'' are compared to it by professional reviewers and in casual parlance. (Yoshi's Island, Sonic Adventure 2, Ratchet & Clank, and Psychonaughts have some spherical worlds, but it may be needless to list them all. It is more important to remark on examples after the fact of games being compared to it, like Sonic Lost World); note how the concept at large has rarely been attempted.
===Kingdoms===
 
====Overview====
 
*[[Mission]]s are referred to as objectives in this game; they are story-driven scenarios
In-house (conceptual)
*Not all objectives reward the player with a moon; vice versa, the act of locating a moon does not complete the objective
*Last Mario game to see "serious" involvement from Miyamoto until Super Mario Run ([https://www.wired.com/2016/12/miyamoto-interview-2/ ref])
*Indeed, most tokens are not tied to objectives at all
*Last game directed by Yoshiaki Koizumi, who would be given greater roles as producer for other Mario projects, while Galaxy level designer Koichi Hayashida would be given directorial duties for subsequent entries
*completing objectives permanently changes the kingdom; completing all of the objectives of a visited kingdom rids the NPCs of their problem, and physical elements of the landscape improve; some areas and moons only become available after Mario has completed the objectives
*SMG2 would be the last time Nintendo attempted to create a platformer with spherical worlds (have they ever said why?)
*Apparently Odyssey's Photo Mode derived from the developer's attempt to mitigate the complexity of camera controls ([https://geekdad.com/2017/10/super-mario-odyssey-developer-interview/ ref])
*Miyamoto expressed that Nintendo is open to developing a third game (his comments suggest Nintendo continued to pursue design choices that would make 3D games less daunting to 2D-players, hence why SM3DL and SM3DW appeared they way they do, but of note, the author of this work aligns SMG with SM64 and SMS as a sprawling adventure-type game) ([https://www.eurogamer.net/super-mario-galaxy-3-opportunity-as-hardware-technology-gets-better-and-advances ref])
*Folks clearly missed the idea of having a 3D Mario game that felt like an adventure ([https://www.wired.com/2013/11/mario-3d-world/ ref])
 
Industry at large
*Very few studios would attempt making platformers with spherical worlds (I recall some developer somewhere mentioning the technical difficulty with trying to do this)
*When a game does try this or attempts something comparable, it is often referred to as "Galaxy-styled" even though SMG was not the first platform game to attempt this design (Sonic Adventure 2, Ratchet & Clank, Yoshi's Island)
*Low-effort theme park-tie in clearly based on (maybe even directly stole from) Galaxy
*Both Sonic Colors (in a positive sense) and Sonic Lost World (in a negative sense) likened to Galaxy
 
[[Rosalina]] was proposed as a new playable character in the earliest phases of ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]'' during 2012, explicitly with the desire to replicate the {{wp|Game feel|feel}} of ''Super Mario Galaxy'' in her aerial movements.<ref>[[Masahiro Sakurai|Sakurai, Masahiro]].

==Notes and references==
*Largely unilateral traversal between kingdoms, like World Galaxy Map in SMG2
===Notes===
{{footnote|note|C|While ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario World 2]]'' was released in 1995 on the same console as ''[[Super Mario World]]'', it is not recognized as an entry in the ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' series.}}


===References===
*kingdoms can be divided into:
<references/>
**large kingdoms that have 100 regional coins
 
**small kingdoms that have 50 regional coins

===The ''Odyssey''===
===The ''Odyssey''===
{{main|Odyssey}}
{{main|Odyssey}}
The game's main form of transportation that transports the player to the different kingdoms. During the game, a certain number of Power Moons is required to power up the Odyssey, unlocking the next kingdom with the exception of the Cap Kingdom, the Cascade Kingdom, and the Mushroom Kingdom. The Odyssey can be entered by entering a door, by entering an exhaust pipe like a Warp Pipe on the back of the Odyssey, and by ground-pounding a panel on the top of the Odyssey. Inside the Odyssey is a closet where the player can change their clothes, a chair that the player can sit on, and a bed that the player can nap on. The Odyssey can also be decorated on the inside and outside with decorations and souvenirs that can be bought at Crazy Cap locations. The Odyssey also contains a [[Checkpoint Flag]].

In multiplayer, the second player controls Cappy while the first controls Mario directly, somewhat similar to how multiplayer worked with the [[Co-Star Luma]] in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''.

Locations

Setting

  • World adventure on Mario's home world, broadly framed similarly to Super Mario Bros. 3
  • Kingdoms are sprawling, vast spaces filled with nooks and crannies
  • Largest spaces of any Mario game at the time of its release
  • The are environmentally diverse, often reflecting their placement on the globe
  • Nearly the entirety of the landscape is tangible and interactable
  • Break from recent 3D entries; the physical appearance of an object sometimes betray their function
  • Each kingdom has unique topography, flora, fauna
  • Most of them are home to an NPC that support their own cultures and societies, and this is also reflected in the landscape
  • Ruins, buildings are embedded in the landscape
  • Three of the kingdoms are on the moon, where gravity is weaker; moon is a prominent, recurring fixture in the sky on the earth kingdoms, and it is the site of the narrative climax
  • Many details are exclusively conveyed in the flavor text of the brochure
  • compared to works of Jules Vern, and named after Homer's text; components of the game are similar to Journey to the West


  • return of sandbox-style 3D action Super Mario - aligned with Mario 64 and Sunshine (why though? What made them want to do this again?)
  • Game embraces surrealism and artistic realism - devs wanted to surprise the player (like Mario 64 character design principals)

Kingdoms

Overview

  • Missions are referred to as objectives in this game; they are story-driven scenarios
  • Not all objectives reward the player with a moon; vice versa, the act of locating a moon does not complete the objective
  • Indeed, most tokens are not tied to objectives at all
  • completing objectives permanently changes the kingdom; completing all of the objectives of a visited kingdom rids the NPCs of their problem, and physical elements of the landscape improve; some areas and moons only become available after Mario has completed the objectives
  • Largely unilateral traversal between kingdoms, like World Galaxy Map in SMG2
  • kingdoms can be divided into:
    • large kingdoms that have 100 regional coins
    • small kingdoms that have 50 regional coins
    • boss kingdoms that have no regional coins, only have 10.5 moons that only appear after the the Moon Rock is struck

2D Areas

(mention gravity fields.)

The Odyssey

Main article: Odyssey

The game's main form of transportation that transports the player to the different kingdoms. During the game, a certain number of Power Moons is required to power up the Odyssey, unlocking the next kingdom with the exception of the Cap Kingdom, the Cascade Kingdom, and the Mushroom Kingdom. The Odyssey can be entered by entering a door, by entering an exhaust pipe like a Warp Pipe on the back of the Odyssey, and by ground-pounding a panel on the top of the Odyssey. Inside the Odyssey is a closet where the player can change their clothes, a chair that the player can sit on, and a bed that the player can nap on. The Odyssey can also be decorated on the inside and outside with decorations and souvenirs that can be bought at Crazy Cap locations. The Odyssey also contains a Checkpoint Flag.

Characters

Playable characters

Name Description
Artwork of Mario, from Super Mario Odyssey.
Mario
The hero of the Mushroom Kingdom and the game's protagonist. Super Mario Odyssey has Mario going on a world voyage to stop the forced marital union between Princess Peach and Bowser. Considered a return to form, Mario's advanced movement options from Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine return alongside completely new abilities. Many of these involve his new traveling companion, Cappy.
Super Mario Odyssey artwork
Cappy
A white Bonneter that resembles a top hat. He joins Mario on his journey to help rescue his sister Tiara, who was also kidnapped by Bowser. Cappy takes on the form of Mario's cap during the game and can be tossed at characters and objects, allowing Mario to temporarily "capture" their form. In multiplayer, the second player controls Cappy while the first controls Mario directly, somewhat similar to how multiplayer worked with the Co-Star Luma in Super Mario Galaxy 2.
