Experimenting. #SuperMarioGalaxy2 #MarioGalaxy2

Imagine this from the Magolor player's perspective. #KirbyAirRiders

Was playing a friend in #KirbyAirRiders last night, picked Rick, and then...

Beach Bowl is a more open area, which produces interesting moments like this vine here. Aside from collecting stray Star Bits, it's a mechanic wholly irrelevant to the level design -- you just swing full-circle for the thrill of it.

Such is the "pointless fun" philosophy established from 64.

Like this part? Right here? Every time, I gotta bounce. Endlessly. Like I don't have a care in the world.

This isn't necessarily a dig at 3D Land/World, but I've always believed a key tenet of 3D Mario is how just interacting with the environment is fun.

Galaxy's when 3D Mario begins fully embracing the "obstacle course" design of the 2D games, but the "playground" philosophy of 64/Sunshine's translated into intermittent moments like this.

Just listen to the therapeutic hypnosis of everything here.

Some point out how Galaxy stripped down Mario's movement in lieu of gravity, but while it doesn't flex its muscles the way 64 or Odyssey do, I find said gravity as mindbending as any speedrun.

Just pure, concentrated joy.
