God, its been 22 years since the first Mario game was released. Each Mario game has had some level of success, with 1996's Super Mario 64 being even better than SMB 1. its been 11 years since SM64, and 5 years since the lackluster Super Mario Sunshine. We've been waiting a while now for another great Mario game. Well, if I had to choose, this game betters SM64 in every way possible.

The game has the classic Mario plot: the Mushroom Kingdom is celebrating the "once-in-a-hundred" years Star festival. Mario has once again been invitied to Princess Peach's castle cuz she wants to give him something.... wonder what that could be? Anyways, as Mario is making his way to the castle, Bowser appears and literaily lifts Peach -- nay, the ENTIRE castle into space. Mario gives chase, but gets knocked off by some magic koopa. Your adventure will span across many galaxies and areas as you search for missing power stars for your new friends, the lumas. The gameplay and levels are superbly designed, and the controls are probably the best for the Wii. If you've been looking for a game that has nearly perfect control, get this game. Also, the challenge is also just right. Not too hard, not too easy. Top that.

After playing the game for only 5 days and beat the game, I can say this game has every right to be game of the year. Its better than any Mario game released to this day. I literaily cried because I'd never played a Mario game as good as this one in years. Don't pass this awesome game up, please. You'll be missing out on the greatest Mario game ever. I cried tears of joy after I beat this game, and its not hard to see why.
