![]() ![]() However, Galaxy 2 was a tepid, tired, retread of the first that far too heavily piggyback's off the first's success to have any real distinct identity so I consider it one of the weakest games of the 3D Mario platforming. It's a great game and hold lots of nostalgic value for it, not withstanding some of its poorer levels (hello Luigi's Purple Coins and trash can clearing, hello Gold Leaf Galaxy which is literally a mirrored reskin of Honeyhive Galaxy). Honestly, music in general doesn't age you can still listen to music in the N64 era like Diddy Kong Racing's OST and still get a kick out of it, same with Super Mario 64 and its use of MiDi instrumentation. Melee and Kirby Air Ride just off the top of my head). I don't think Galaxy's OST is Nintendo's first use of orchestration for a Mario title, as Mario Superstar Baseball has an orchestrated cover version of its main theme and it came out much earlier, and I may find earlier pieces if I dug around (this is talking purely from a Mario franchise perspective Nintendo houses a lot of properties and there are plenty of earlier games under Nintendo's name that used orchestration, namely Super Smash Bros. I was just wondering if there were any thoughts on this? Whether you like the game or not? I just wanna open up a conversation about this game, I seem to be obsessed with it lately. The usage of the Wii remote for starbits as well as the spinning technique almost feels like a more improved F.L.U.D.D.-like capability, just without an in game representation. ![]() The game play still holds up (although definitely somewhat repetitive after a while) and visually the game still looks quite stunning. And secondly, how is it STILL able to hold up compared to other games not just in the franchise but as a whole? I feel like a whole lot of the time I hear that either the sequel was better or I just don't hear much AT ALL about it. Was this Nintendo's first usage of orchestration in one of their games? If so, for a first time, it's absolutely astounding. So, first of all, I want to focus on the OST. Recently, I started a Super Mario Galaxy let's play with my best friend (link here if interested) and it got me thinking on a few things about the game and I've been trying to find a place to discuss these things in a genuine sense. Hi! I'm new here, but I have a deep love and passion for the Super Mario franchise, so I hope it's alright if I post ![]()
