On November 1st, 2007, Super Mario Galaxy released for the Nintendo Wii. A follow-up to Super Mario Sunshine on the GameCube, the title offered a unique take on the platforming offered in previous 3D Mario games. The title brought the mustachioed plumber to space, where the laws of physics were turned on their head. The game offered a number of unique concepts, and even received a direct sequel a few years later. Super Mario Galaxy is considered one of the most beloved series entries ever, and new audiences are starting to discover it for the first time on Nintendo Switch through Super Mario 3D All-Stars. In honor of the game’s anniversary, fans took to Twitter to celebrate Super Mario Galaxy!

That makes it 13 years old.
My favourite game of all time turned 13 today.
Go show love to Mario Galaxy. Itโs nothing short of a masterpiece.
…and others claim it’s the best game to introduce newcomers to!
Might come across as hyperbolic but if there was a single defining video game that I’d say is the ‘best’ (or would recommend to people who don’t play video games) I’d pick Super Mario Galaxy.
