A console Mario game is quite rare. Although there are many of them, unlike many big franchises they do not come out every year and as such make the wait for them all the more harder. However, Mario has always been quality over quantity and this continues to ring true. To have two Mario games within the same console generation is a surprise, but Miyamoto and his merry men have pulled that off. Not only is Super Mario Galaxy 2 a fantastic Mario game, it’s one of the best, if not the best Mario game ever made.

As expected, Mario and the Princess are still very much a couple. Mario is off to visit the Mushroom kingdom, but when he arrives, Bowser has taken it over and once again taken his long time love, the Princess and like last time, she is being taken into space. Galaxy 2 really does pick up where the original left off. The storyline is cliche, but did you really expect anything else from a Mario game? I think we're at a point where people would be angry if the story was significantly different as it’s become such a core element of the Mario series.
