In space no one can hear you YAHOO

This is it. At the age of 8 I received a wii with this game for my birthday and from that point on was locked into the archetype of mario autist. No regrets. Sheds many of the movement options from sunshine and even 64 in exchange for some of the tightest level design the series has ever seen. Constantly throwing new ideas at you and moving on before they overstay their welcome. Freezeflame galaxy my beloved. Gorgeous orchestral soundtrack. The motion controls are fairly unobtrusive and hold up today but over covid I 100% the game on dolphin using an xbox 360 controller and it played just as well. Exactly one bullshit hard part (you know the one, where you gotta clear all the rubble by throwing bombs on an extremely short timer) but fortunately that's optional.
