Bringing New Life to Mario Games

A few years ago my wife gave me a Mario game for my birthday. It had been a very long time since I had seen the little guy, and, to be honest, I really wasn’t looking forward to playing the game again. I remember liking Mario when I was younger but, at the time, I was really into shooter games so I played those more. To be nice, however, I plugged the game into the system and started to play. The minute that I did I realized how wrong I’d always been about Mario – he wasn’t boring, as I’d always taken him to be he was genius!

The games are easy to get through, but are, at the same time, challenging. By this I mean that it doesn’t take a genius to figure out which way you have to go in order to get to where you’re trying to go to, but, at the same time, it can be tricky trying to get him to jump up a wall at the right time, or to get the bad guy at the right time.

I went out and bought Galaxy to play and I got a huge shock – not only was Mario edgier, the graphics were way better than any Mario game I’d seen to date! I loved how I could really get into the 3D and how I was able to enjoy playing the game much more than I ever thought I’d be able to enjoy. Now that I know that the Super Mario Galaxy 2 game for Wii is coming out, I’m excited to play it not only for myself, but for my young son.
I hope that he’ll be able to see how much fun Mario can be, and my biggest hope for the Super Mario Galaxy 2 game is that it remains similar to the game that came out just a short time ago – the original Galaxy game. Keep the edge, keep the fun game style, and definitely keep the 3D. This will be something I want to pass down to the next generation!
