*Sixteen years before its release and by coincidence, the title "''Super Mario Galaxy''" was first mentioned in a fan letter written to [[Nintendo Power]] by Jimmy Peterford of Glen Cove, New York. The letter in question, which was printed in the December 1991 issue, detailed a fantasy game system called the "Raw Power System," which would come bundled with a game named "''Super Mario Galaxy''," but in Peterford's words, would be "better known as ''Super Mario Bros. 24''!"<ref>[https://archive.org/stream/Nintendo_Power_Issue001-Issue127/Nintendo%20Power%20Issue%20031%20December%201991#page/n5/mode/1up Nintendo Power, Volume 31, Page 6.]</ref> | |||
*Due to a mixup involving [[wikipedia:GameStop|GameStop]], the automated phone message sent to those who preordered the game stated ''Super Mario Galaxy'' to be a Mature-rated game.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVbQTeKXwZI Super Mario Galaxy - rated Mature?!], retrieved 12/30/2015</ref> | |||
*The Australian Classification Board classified ''Super Mario Galaxy'' as G (General) upon its initial Wii release, but the game was later classified PG (Parental guidance) upon its re-release via Wii U Virtual Console.<ref>http://www.classification.gov.au/Pages/Results.aspx?q=Super+Mario+Galaxy&t=lfc</ref> | |||
*The [[wikipedia:Nvidia Shield|Nvidia Shield]] version of ''Super Mario Galaxy'' showed copyright information "© 2007-2008 Nintendo". It was unknown what 2008 means in this context, possibly the year ''Super Mario Galaxy'' was planned for release on the [[iQue]] [[Wii]], before the console failed to make its way into the Chinese market.<ref>https://twitter.com/chinesenintendo/status/977408083176509441</ref> | |||
*The staff credits in Nvidia Shield edition shows three people in charge of Chinese localization, as well as an "iQue testing group" for testing. It is possible that the game was fully translated for the iQue Wii release before the console was canceled.<ref>https://twitter.com/chinesenintendo/status/980318144131620864</ref> | |||
*Since the Nvidia Shield controller does not have motion controls, the spin is performed by pressing the X button, while the right analog stick is used to move the Star Cursor. In the case of Player 2, both analog sticks can be used to control the Star Cursor.<ref>https://twitter.com/jhstjh/status/978431140959805440</ref> The original tilt controls in the game is also replaced by the regular left analog stick control.<ref>https://twitter.com/chinesenintendo/status/1019812333621669888</ref> | |||
*Bowser uprooted Peach's Castle once before in, ''Paper Mario'', but only lifted into the sky and not in Outer Space. | |||
*This is one of the only two ''Mario'' games where Bowser displays the power to create electricity. The other is ''Hotel Mario''. | |||
*When Mario gets a Grand Star, he rides it like a Warp Star from the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]]. | |||
