Quiz: How Well Do You Remember Super Mario Galaxy 2?

Wow, considering it's one of my favorite games of all time, I really don't know it that well apparently LOL. Could this be the generation we get Mario Galaxy 3? I hope so. I had fun with Odyssey, but Galaxy's curated "experiences" beat out Odyssey's open-ended levels for me, at least in terms of concentrated fun and spectacle.

10 out of 13… not bad for someone who hasn’t even played the game.

I got...3 right :/
And I own the game.

But I also haven't touched it in years!

I'll take 10/13 in 1:07. It has been years since I played galaxy would love to see it on switch

12 out of 13... Shoot! I didn't see in how much time. Didn't get the reward for clearing a star with Super Guide correct since I don't use it. Everything else was correct because I actually replayed it back in 2022-2023 when I got the Wii Download Version on the Wii U before its eShop closure. So that information is still fresh in my memory.

EDIT: 12/13 on 02:38 nets a place in the Top 3 (as of this edit)? Not bad.

Bought it the day it came out but weirdly never got into it enough to get far.

Not as well as I thought lol

8 out of 13

12 out of 13 for me. Only missed the Yoshi star cursor question.

I refuse to do this quiz unless Nintendo ports this to Switch/Switch 2. That’ll show them.

4 out of 13.
I don't play that much my Super Mario Galaxy 2 Wii.
I don't have much interest with that game either.

Not bad at all with 8 out of 13. Of course I don’t remember the exact numbers of galaxies and power stars. Didn’t know much about the game’s development or having anything to do with the Wii U.

I remember getting Galaxy 2 at launch and loving it so much that I beat the main story by the end of the day, back in high school when I had way more time to play a game in one sitting. I prefer the first game nowadays but Galaxy 2 had some great levels and more great music. The Perfect Run might be one of my most memorable gaming challenges ever, at least in a Mario game!

Would welcome Galaxy 2 on SW2 without the waggle.

I got 6/13, I obviously haven't played this classic in awhile lol

@Mattock1987 yeah, don't do a trivia quiz run by a website unaffiliated with Nintendo. That'll show those old codgers.

Never played it so I think I did fairly well with 10/13. That said, i thought it was first pitched as Super Mario Galaxy More? @nintendolife

not sure if the wii u one and ign review score questions are that fair since you basically had to be there, like someone could've gotten this game a couple years ago and played it inside and out, but still might not get a perfect score b/c they weren't there

I'm long overdue a replay of this amazing game but I got 11/13, so I guess I remember it better than I thought!

12/13 - only because I never bothered using the supposedly helpful guide for players who die a lot.

Amazing game, should have been released on switch Christmas 2024 for us all.

Still hoping for it on switch and switch 2, what be great this Christmas 2025 as there is no really big Nintendo Studio AAA game that has that slot yet.

This was always one of my fav nintendo platformers, one of the first I ever played. Recently started emulating it again to experience that nostalgia.

I never played Galaxy 2. Maybe it's because Nintendo forgot this game existed.

9 out of 13. This game had excellent levels but all in all the first game has stuck with me more over the years.

I think the reason they didn’t port this to Switch is because you have to collect so many star bits and they play an important role in game. Switch motion controls aren’t anywhere close to Wii pointer controls.

13/13. Waaaahooooo
It’s a special game

Not taking a quiz, my memory is toast. I remember it felt like more of the same. Which is a good thing, but if it was released in the last 5 years it would have been dlc.

SMG is my favorite 3D Mario game, there is no 2nd, not even this, this is part 2. Which is why I haven't played part 1 on Switch yet. Why play part 1 if I can't play part 2? Nintendo Logic.🤪

Wait, could mouse control make this a smooth experience for Switch 2?

I got all the Stars in Mario Galaxy 2, and you expect me to know anything about the Cosmic Guide feature?

Definitely my favorite game of all time, but man this quiz is pretty tricky.

@jake1421 mouse would definitely be better than Switch motion controls for star bit collecting. But you also need to waggle that right-hand remote.

Hopefully they release a sensor bar and Wii remote whenever they start doing Wii virtual console. World of Goo and games like this just aren’t anywhere faithful

Got one wrong, the total number of galaxies.
Man, I miss this game. Still miffed that it wasn't in 3D All-Stars.

got 3 wrong, it was the guide feature, what year it was rereleased and how many galaxies there are

@OldGamer999

I also think we'll see it on Switch 2 myself

It will make a nicer filler till we get a Mario Odyssey sequel or whatever the next big 3D game turns out to be

I love Mario galaxy when I’m playing, but I don’t not miss its globe mechanic when I’m not. It’s the main reason I’m not dying to play galaxy 2. Odyssey 2 now that I’d pre order.

Nicely made quiz! Tough but fair.

Great game, but I did cr*p in the quiz!

At first when I saw this game I thought Nintendo could’ve done something a bit more original and gave us something new but then I played it and had no regrets with their direction. It is more Galaxy but it has plenty of new ideas and is a total joy to play. I’m not sure which galaxy I like better but both games together are probably my favorite way to play Mario 3d.

I’ve thought of this game recently since I bought a second TV for the house and now have more opportunities to game outside of handheld mode. I have the Wii U hooked up to the new TV so maybe I’ll play it again. I did play it within the past 3-5 years for the first time probably. I played the original when it came out.

I am curious if they’ll ever do a Super Mario Galaxy 1+2 for Switch and/or Switch 2. (I have 3D all stars but it would be nice to see both get a re release together )

Still have not played it.... I deserve all the shame.

@Member_the_game
I’m really hoping for this Christmas 2025 for MG2 on switch 2, unless they have another surprise for us.

Yup 13/13. I seriously love this game and the first one as no other, my favorite games of all time.

I never played it. I didn't have the money for it. Then, Nintendo refused to put it on the switch. Oh well. It's the only 3d one I never played.

I got 11/13, only missing the questions about the name of the guide feature and the total number of galaxies in the game. I remember I got all but one but of the regular and green stars in my original playthrough as a kid, but the final challenge of the final galaxy was just a bit too much for me. Still one of my favorite Mario games of all time, much more so than the original game for me.

1/13, I've never played

10/13. The cosmic guide brown star one I didn't get cuz Im such a giga skilled gamer I never had to use it

Never well enough, until Nintendo decides to refresh my memory with a remaster.

Ugh I can't believe that it was the cursor question that kept me from a perfect score. "Wait, was it actually an apple?"

Perfect score for me. Quite possibly my favorite 3D Mario game, love Galaxy 2 and it's a crime it's not on Switch.

12 out 13 not bad for someone who hasn't played it in a while

Still the best 3D Mario game ever. Completely curb stomped the original Galaxy with better level design by far.

6 out of 13. And I LOVE this game. Just goes to show how much we need a rerelease/remake/remaster/rewhatever

8/13…not bad considering I haven’t played it since it released. I absolutely loved it when I played it and I think at the time I would have said it was the best 3D Mario, but it’s been so long since I’ve played it now that I don’t know where I would rank it. Really deserves to be re-released.

I’m ashamed to admit that this game came out during a time where I was starting to walk away from Nintendo. I still bought and played SMG2, but it was years later and through a preowned purchase. To this day I’ve still only played through it once. I’ve been holding out hope for a port of any sort. The Wii U of all things brought me back to the light, and I’m never leaving!

8/13 - about what I expected from memory.

I didn’t return to this game after I beat it unlike its (superior) predecessor.

Galaxy 2 is still a solid 8/10 experience with what I like to call the “one hit wonder galaxies” - fantastic the first time, but also but far too linear for my liking (especially completing each green star mission which were a slog).

But you can see how this game started life as Galaxy 1.5 since it has that DLC expansion vibe from their leftover ideas cut from the first game.

I don't need a quiz to let me know that I'm bad at trivia

I'm fully prepared to just go "Oh, yeah. I remember that" for each level when I replay it again, and not actually remember them until then.

I got 11 out of 13. Not bad! The ones I was wrong were, when did the game return on Wii U, and how many galaxies are there.

Still an absolutely wonderful game. Would love for it to return on Switch (2) one day.

Not well enough so Nintendo needs to release a Super 3D Mario All Stars 2

This is a super fun post. More like this, please!

I'm 3rd place! Yippee!

After 8 years of the switch and NO galaxy 2, I'm so bitter now. I think Ninendo's NEVER going to let it out of their precious clutches. Why would they ever release it now when they could save it for Switch 3?

Ive got 1 and 2 on wii but Ive got so many 3d mario games to 100% before I start those. I havent even got 120 stars in 64...

9/13...some things I simply didn't know about, or I've forgotten (I just guessed on the release date, lol).

I have a bad memory for entertainment. It’s a blessing really. I can replay games and only have vague memories of them. But when people start talking specifics about them I have no idea after a few years even though I beat them.

12/13. I didn't know the Wii U rerelease year. This game was a lot of fun I enjoyed it more than the first Galaxy.

I got 9/13 and my rank is 871.
:/

For me it's My favourite 3D Mario game ever second is sunshine if they made a 3rd galaxy game for the switch 2 I will go crazy as I hope they released super Mario galaxy 2 on the switch 2 I buy it day one full price with the GameCube games on the switch 2 anything is possible come on ninty pretty please 💙💙💙

I was back and forth on wiiu release date, 2014 for sure no 2015, no 2014, so it was a guess and thankfully right. The total galaxies was a bit of a guess too, I knew it was about 50 but 55 seemed too much and lastly that first question, I sat there staring thinking aren't they all in it? I knew the other 3 for sure, but thought I remembered bee mario in it, but given there had to be one that wasnt it was obviously not so

I wonder if they're still going to re-release that one. At first it seemed weird that they left it out of the 3D All Stars collection, but they likely came to the conclusion that it's not worth it, or rather: not necessary. They knew they were going to hit their sales target anyway, Galaxy 2 would have made no difference. But cost money.

The problem for us is: It never felt like they were saving SMG2 for later. It was a hit back then, yes, but less so than the first. And once you've released "The Bruce Willis anniversary collection", how do you re-release "Die Hard 2" standalone later on?

6/13. Where do I turn in my Nintendo Fanboy Membership Card? -_-

13/13. It’s been SO MANY YEARS since I’ve played this game and I still remember this much. I guess it’s a testament to how much I love it

Probably my favourite video game of all time. My word what a great time I had on this. My memory detail is Swiss cheese, mind you.

I couldn't play it much. It made me dizzy.
