<b>IGN</b> har givet det 9,7 ud af 10 og spillet får følgende bemærkning med på vejen:
Expect to be blown away by the fantastic level challenges and galactic variety. Expect to be blown away by the addictive gravity effects -- you will jump off ledges just to see if you can rotate all the way around a structure. And expect to be blown away by the tight controls and beautiful graphics
<b>Gamespot</b> følger op og smider karakteren 9,5 ud af 10 på bordet, hvilket også må siges at være en høj, høj score. De siger om spillet:
When all is said and done, the thing that really makes Super Mario Galaxy such a standout game isn't the fact that it's another Mario game, but the fact that it doesn't even need to be a Mario game to be successful. Sure, it's got all the nostalgic flavor Mario fans would want, with the updated soundtrack, familiar foes, and various other Mario-related bric-a-brac scattered throughout the adventure, but the game never leans on these nostalgic aspects as a crutch. It instead puts the whole of its focus on its gameplay design, and with good reason. You could probably swap in just about any other characters from practically any other franchise, and this would still be a phenomenally fun game.
<b>Eurogamer</b> Eurogamer disker op med karakteren 10 ud af 10. Og det får selvfølgelig meget rosende ord med på vejen:
Super Mario Galaxy is an embarrassment. It's an embarrassment for platform games. It's an embarrassment for adventure games. It's an embarrassment for Nintendo and an embarrassment for the Wii. What have we all been playing at in the ten years since Super Mario 64 came out? This is what gaming ought to be like.
Og vi kunne blive ved med at give den slags eksempler. Efter de første 11 anmeldelser af Super Mario Galaxy har det en uhørt høj gennemsnits karakter på 9,6 ud af 10.
Her på redaktionen glæder vi os ustyrlig meget til at få Galaxy imellem hænderne og se om spillet lever op til hypen. Har du og jeg noget at se frem til? Det kunne se ud som om....
