@Reala I see what you mean, and yes, as far as comparing to the previous games that came before it, 64 really was revolutionary. But where the game focused on being fun and "new", I really felt that Mario Galaxy took the mario series and actually turned it into something of an art form. I really felt that it was an evolution as far as atmosphere and what defined platform gaming. I remember liking 64, but I LOVE Galaxy. I don't remember too many games, especially in this current age of loud in-your-face games, where I had to just sit back and look at what was in front of the with a sense of wonder. Where I felt that they tried to force an evolution onto their products in 64 (and in terms of graphics, they did an amazing job, as opposed to what happened to other franchises like Sonic), I feel they actually achieved it with Galaxy. Everything just fit together, and I hope that this trend continues in future titles.
And yes, I did grow on playing 64, so I still have fond memories of that games, but with Galaxy, while I was playing it, I constantly felt, "this thing in front of me is sublime".

While SM64 was more innovative for its time compared to SMG(Being the first good 3d platformer with analog control), Galaxy still is the better game IMO. I could expand on my reasoning, but Past user's have already made it clear. Though I don't really think it would be fair to have a 16 year old game compete against a current gen game that expands the predecessor's formula.
WOW a tough one. I choose Galaxy because I loved the level designs. The creativity blew me away. Mario 64 was creative but I just didn't enjoy it as much as Galaxy.
Some of my favorite games:
Ghost Trick, StarFox 64, WarioLand: Shake It, Kid Icarus, The Legendary Starfy, Endless Ocean: Blue World, Zelda: Minish Cap, Pokemon Snap, Diamond Trust of London, Gyromite, Katamari Damacy, EarthBound, Mario Kart 7, and Sonic Generations(PS3).
Not including its 64 DS iteration, I would definitely have to go with Super Mario Galaxy. While not quite better designed, I do feel the levels in Galaxy were far more creative and diverse than 64's selection and I absolutely love Buoy Base Galaxy. Galaxy had a story that wasn't as solid as Sunshine's, but the story it did have, specifically in the case of Rosalina's backstory, introduced my favorite princess in the series.
Super Mario 64 all the way, baby. I've been playing that game for a very long time and I just love going back and playing through it again and again. To me, it's a classic and never gets old. I really like SMG, but not as much as as I like SM64.
I just love the sense of wonder I felt when playing Super Mario Galaxy. That's pure Nintendo magic to me. It was released at a time when I was starting to think Nintendo lost their touch, their games were still good, but weren't like they used to be, Galaxy proved me wrong.
Well It's actually hard to judge, because SMG is my favourite game of all time, but SM64 invented the rules for 3D platforming; it is one of the most revolutionary games of all time. Well if you look directly at which game is better, it's hands down Super Mario Galaxy, I guess. It's better than SM64. Some may say 64 is better simply because they remember how revolutionary it was back in the time and it is very nostalgic for them.
So, in short, Super Mario Galaxy!
Currently playing: Rhythm Heaven, Minecraft (XBLA), Pokemon B/W 2, Halo 4, The Denpa Men: They Came By Wave, Fallblox, Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door (GCN)

@Emaan It's about time to wrap this one up, methinks.
