Super Mario Galaxy Presents a Galactic Grind with Gimmicky Controls in 2025
Nintendo has re-released Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 on Switch, offering a new generation a chance to experience these legendary 3D platformers with enhanced resolution. While the games’ creative level design and orchestrated soundtrack remain masterful, the return of mandatory motion controls from the Wii era proves frustrating. These forced tilt-based sections feel imprecise and cumbersome on modern hardware, hindering accessibility and disrupting the otherwise precise platforming. This collection represents a missed opportunity to modernize the classics with optional stick controls, leaving a notable flaw in an otherwise stellar package of cosmic adventure.
