Super Mario Galaxy 2 (for Wii)
Super Mario Galaxy 2 is an action platformer for Wii that continues the space-based fun begun by the 2007 runaway hit Super Mario Galaxy. Featuring out-of-this-world platforming across a wide array of unique planets and space environments, players can go it alone as Mario or team up with his old buddy Yoshi as they platform and puzzle-solve to their hearts content. Additional key features include new and returning power-ups, special power-up abilities when teamed with Yoshi and the new drill mechanic that allows Mario burrow into and through planets.
Like its predecessor, Super Mario Galaxy 2 is an action platformer set in space. Platforming takes place between worlds, known as galaxies. Mario can move between smaller examples of these by jumping. He can also embark on longer jaunts via a small steerable planet in the shape of Mario's head, but as a new twist he can also move into and through planets as well using the new drill mechanism...

Editorial Review
The game that launched the Nintendo 64 system stands the test of
time as one of the first and best exploratory action/adventure games.
Guide the legendary plumber through an incredibly vast magical world
with never-before-seen movement and camera-angle freedom. Mario's
got the moves with graduated speeds of running and walking, jumps,
super jumps, bounce attacks, swimming, and more. The more you play,
the more moves you'll discover.
This industry milestone game lets gamers play at their own pace,
encouraging them to explore new nooks and crannies of its many levels
with a Zen-like approach where the journey is as important as the
goal. Other N64 games such as Zelda, Banjo-Kazooie, and Donkey Kong
64 all owe much of their inspiration to this gem of a game. A showcase
for the system's graphics and processing speed capabilities, Super
Mario 64 is a must-have for any N64 owner. --Jeff Young

Mario Brothers Deluxe

Editorial Review
One of the best things about the Game Boy Color is that it's basically
an original Nintendo Entertainment System that can fit in your pocket.
What this means for gamers is that many of the great games for the
classic system are being ported to the Game Boy Color, giving us
a chance to re-play (or in some cases discover) the best game titles
from the '80s.
Nintendo's own Super Mario Bros. Deluxe is among the first of these
conversions, and it certainly remains one of the best. Actually,
calling this game a conversion really doesn't do it justice. This
version actually contains more levels than the original game, including
the entire Japanese version and a slew of extras (such as a two-player
mode).
The controls in this game are easy to grasp--even for novice gamers.
All Mario can do is jump (and shoot fireballs with the right power-
ups), but it is amazing to see how much gameplay can be squeezed
from these simple actions when the controls work in direct harmony
with a player's thoughts. The only element of this game that could
have been better is that the Game Boy Color's screen isn't quite
large enough to show the entire layout of the original game screen,
so players may occasionally need to press up and down on the control
pad to see some offscreen action. While this can be distracting,
it ultimately has minimal impact on gameplay. If you are looking
for the quintessential side-scrolling platform game, you can't do
much better than Super Mario Bros. Deluxe. --T. Byrl Baker
