The latest work of 3D SUPERMARIO series. Princess peach was kidnapped to far away of the galactic?! Enlarged the stage of the adventure to the macrocosm, familiar Mario flies around a lot of stars that have such odd gravities.

Comment of the game producer

In Super Mario Galaxy, we aimed as the game which includes much astonishment and kindness. Putting the stage in the space, we had thoughts to give all players a unique and unknown astonishment and hoped many players can enjoy, but as 3D action game, by making it too much astonishment, sometimes it's not acceptable to all players.

We concerned the feeling of who are weak for 3D action game, and put ingenuity one by one. Today, we have received such honored prize, if this is the result of the support of our challenge, we are very pleased.
Please expect for the challenges of 3D Mario from now on. Thank you very much.
