This was definitely one of the hardest Ranked videos I've had to make, I spent a lot of extra time swapping out galaxies and trying to figure out the worst from the best. Let me know your favorites and least favorites down below!
honestly, I disagreed with a lot of this at first, because I thought, "that shouldn't be so low, I like that galaxy!" then I realized I just like all of them, and he's mostly right lol
Van Engelhardt definitely not. I honestly don’t agree with most picks on this list, but it’s all opinion based. For example, I don’t get how melty molten is below gold leaf.
A shame that the ending of Slimy Spring Galaxy wasn’t mentioned. When the music fades out, leaving only the nature sounds and the wonderful grass landscape shines in the bright sun, I seriously thought I was in heaven
Similar case here. I used to do Sea Slide Galaxy’s silver stars mission just because I enjoyed exploring the place and I enjoyed the purple coins mission for that reason. I know I liked to chill in Super Mario Sunshine, kinda like having a virtual holiday.
I just hang out in beach bowl, sea slide, star shine beach, gold leaf and honey hive, and toy time just talking to the bees,piantas,penguins and robots
Look, I don't care how good or bad each galaxy is compared to each other. The fact that Nintendo made 91 galaxies, which are technically worlds in Mario games, does just enough to deserve my respect.
@@ArtieArchives yeah but, if you think of it, I’d say every galaxy is detailed and created to perfection, and since they’re supermassive galaxies, they’re like little worlds in traditional games, wouldn’t you say?
I like starshine beach A LOT. The mario sunshine vibes are real, the water's color is gorgeous and the stars are fun and relaxing. I just wish there was a cool crab boss fight and the arena was the entire stage
For me, I think the best moment in all of the Galaxy games has to be the ending of Slimy Spring Galaxy. This is not my favourite galaxy by any means... but that moment, right at the end, when you emerge from the murky cave, and the really gloomy music stops in its tracks and is replaced with birds and wildlife, the fog that has shrouded the whole level clears and you're looking right out onto a glorious sunset. You're in this haven, this safe little oasis and it's just perfect.
I agree completely! I’ve had this moment burned into my mind, but couldn’t remember which galaxy (or which of the two games) it came from! But that scene you described has been vivid in my mind for years!
Yeah, I really love that. Especially considering urchins in the Mario Galaxy series(and porcupuffers for that matter, but thankfully, they are really rare) are my #1 most hated enemies. Out of all the enemies, they are the only enemies I have never gotten over being freaked out about. So to swim through that extremely hideous tunnel and narrowly dodging all these extremely hideous sea urchins, only to see that beautiful sunrise at the end...just...I can't describe with words. On a side note, the spiky plants in Honeybloom Galaxy are also scary
@@joshcohen29 Oh yeah. That's relatively scary too. Though I can tolerate it more than urchins and porcupuffers. But I haven't gotten hit by a jellyfish yet, and I don't want to see what happens when I do get hit by one
out of all of the Galaxies in Galaxy 1, Space Junk is my favorite, simple yet straightforward level designs that also end up being fun, and dont get me started on the music. The music is just so calming and peaceful that i even put it on my "Music to study to" playlist, its just good
I remember back at my family’s old home, we had a nearby Library. Inside it had a game room. In that room it had a Wii and people would play Mario Kart and stuff. I remember seeing Galaxy for the first time and being amazed by how you could walk around the planets lol. I sure was young
I remember a dentist office had a gamecube with Super Mario Sunshine which is the first time I ever saw nintendo consoles, I always had a gameboy as a kid.
Honestly, Bowser Jr.'s Fearsome fleet had one of the most memorable bosses in mario history, you take down a giant robot only using yoshi and bullet bills. Not to mention how thrilling it is to fight the boss.
Hey man, just wanted to say, I’ve seen your content for almost a decade now, and you are my official favorite CZcamsr. I got your merch for my birthday, and I am so proud of all the work you’ve done. I look up to you, and I’m proud to be a subscriber of yours, from the beginning til forever. I remember your fact videos, I remember your Dark Top 10 Age, I have fond memories of all of them, thank you so much for all the good memories
He is definitely my favorite CZcamsr. He's a nice guy, he puts time and effort into his videos. I've been watching him since 60k( not lying) and he's been a big part of my childhood. Thanks NB!
I never realized you were supposed to stand on the die at the end of Rolling Gizmo. I always did it the hard way by getting far to try to catch momentum, and then jumping over the ledge.
This game hits nostalgia so hard. I remember playing it when i was like 1st grade. Usually when i see one of the super mario galaxy videos i just start to remember things and sometimes even start tearing. I loved this game!!
What I just think is missing in this video about good egg galaxy is the music. Like the orchestra makes it appear dramatic and still beautiful. It's my favorite Soundtrack in the entire Mario world and listening to it makes me feel nostalgic and calms me down. Music has such a big impact on games what makes them more memorable and enjoyable than a lot of people don't even realize that
I love how almost everyone here has a favourite galaxy that is different from the rest. Just goes to show how much nintendo diversified their levels and put a lot of work into them. ❤
@@NathanielBandy ive been playing mario 64 for a such long time and really bored of it i even completed it with zero stars so im asking if u could send me link to a hard SM64 rom hack pls
I don't know why, but I absolutely love the topman fights, they are some of my favorite stars in the games. I also really like the flip platformes(e.g. flip-swap galaxy and flip-out galaxy) as well as the way flipsville does the gravity fliping. I also like the gravity flips(e.g. right-side down galaxy)
On Toy Time Galaxy: You can even go on a Mario. And a Luigi. Says that in a joyful voice. Not realizing that the Luigi level is one of the most frustrating in the game
it's not that bad if you just use the time the game gives you, also no need to go for all the long jump purple coins as there are way more than enough purple coins scattered across. as for galaxy 2, yeah you oughta hurry up just a tad more. not too much though.
Cosmic cove galaxy is number one for me. Everything about it is so relaxing and it just matches the music perfectly. Climbing up frozen waterfalls is also pretty cool.
Super Mario Galaxy 2 is my favorite video game of all time, and Cosmic Cove is a huge factor of it. When I first beat the game around 12 years ago, I somehow missed this galaxy entirely and just found it long after I beat the final boss. The fact that after this long series of awesome galaxies I had just missed one that knocked all the other ones out of the park (at least for me) solidified this game as perfect in my brain, and it stayed like that till today. When I replay SMG2 I still reserve this galaxy for myself as the last one.
These two games defined my childhood, I would make a long list of how different my opinion is but instead I’ll just say it’s awesome to see another’s opinion on the topic and to see how different one’s opinion on these galaxies are compared to my own, either way great video
Beach bowl is still my favourite galaxy, I still remember spending hours in game just playing around in the water Also if you don’t hit bone fin and swim close to the surface he can’t hit you, young me might have enjoyed swimming with that nightmare fish a little too much
23:43 I remember struggling like hell with Bowser’s Galaxy Generator back when I was 9, at one point I even ran out of lives! But it’s one hell of a level, one of the very best.
I was so happy when I saw cloudy court galaxy as number one it is so memorable and it's level design and decoration is amazing, one of my earlyist memories is watching my dad play this galaxy when the game first came out.
I'm so happy this was finally made! I'm happy to see some underrated galaxies get the respect that they deserve. it's been fun watching your opinions on each galaxy change over the years. my favourites are melty molten, honeyhive, cosmic cove, and freezeflame. one thing though... you switched buoy base's main star and green star in your description of the galaxy reee
I personally really like the concept of Grandmaster Galaxy's Daredevil challenge. I beat it the first time 2 days ago and I enjoyed the fustration and rage. I really enjoyed since it's a perfect challenge for the ending of the game series. I spent in total 6 hours in it and I raged too much. But that is what I want from video games. They are not supposed to be too easy. More levels like this if you ask me
ok but like gusty garden galaxy literally gives me goosebumps everytime i hear that track. easily the best piece that's been composed in recent mario, and with phenomenal level design, unique gameplay with the flower gliding, and cool planet shapes with a unique boss fight, easy no.1 in a (imo) close to perfect game
Very hot take: Slimy Spring Galaxy is my favorite out of both games. I think it’s really unique. I love the feel of it and the gameplay. And there’s something about the ending that I just absolutely adore. Perfect galaxy in my opinion.
It just makes me want to DO THE MARIO SWING YOUR ARMS FROM SIDE TO SIDE COME ON ITS TIME TO GO DO THE MARIO TAKE ONE STEP AND THEN AGAIN COME ON ITS TIME TO GO DO THE MARIO (I’ve done that ten times today no joke)
When I was little I thought the brown planets in Gateway Galaxy was a peanut... (dont ask how, I just didnt notice the two planetoids weren't connected until I got older) So I called it the Peanut Reactor
Thank you so much for putting Toy Time in the top 5. It’s been my favorite in the series since I first played it in the early 2010s. My inner little kid loves it too much to ever forget it.
I remember being about 7 years old when this came out, and I was initially scared of Mario Galaxy because of those blue blobs that stick to Mario and drain his hp. Something about them just creeped me out
God the mere sight and hearing the names of all the Mario Galaxy 2 galaxies brought back so many memories I forgot I had. Seeing galaxies I visited so often during my childhood, remembering how damn hard the slide was for me at the time I played it, like god even just seeing the gameplay of it I can hear the background music to every last one playing in my head. Seeing something that have me joy all those years ago really makes me miss those days... Thanks for bringing back my memories of the game dude, it makes me really happy to know they're still within me after all these years...
@@andreamenicatti1029 There are a lot of lack luster planets in the game, more specifically, those tiny floating planets in some of the less condensed galaxies that serve little to no purpose for any of the stars. Top ten worst seems like it would be pretty difficult to make for reasons completely different than top ten best.
@@cristianrubcich9542 grandmaster galaxy is what you get for 100% the game after getting all the stars. I don't want to spoil stuff in case you don't know but if you want to unlock it you need to get all the stars in the game. Masters quest is a mod for the galaxy which is a supper buffed version of a level called the perfect run in grandmaster galaxy.
I was waiting for Cosmic Cove Galaxy the whole list since that is my favorite galaxy out of both games and i keep on finding myself going back to that stage and the fact that it was placed number 4 was right tho i would have placed it at number 1 for more than one reason
I hated Slimy Spring as a kid-swimming was stressful and hard as heck, so a _level_ full of it??? I should try and replay it though. Still don’t like really swimming, but I remember liking the atmosphere of swimming levels.
I completely agree. Slimy Spring had the best atmosphere in the game by far; coming out of the cave into the beautiful plains area with the glowing orange sky felt triumphant.
My favorites are Buoy Base Galaxy and Space Storm Galaxy! Even though you didn't rank them that high, I do agree with your commentary. Thanks for acknowledging the GREATNESS of Buoy Base Galaxy's music! ❤💙💚💜 It surely sounds MAGNIFICENT and to be honest, I think that might also be a huge reason why I love the galaxy so much in its whole as well. I mean, I also like the lay-out of the galaxy, but yes, the star with the Torpedo Ted and Bullet Bill was that pretty short. Even so, I did like the level in which you had to climb the Buoy Base itself a lot, so even if it wasn't the galaxy with the longest levels, I did enjoy it very much (and kind of still do, whenever I listen to its music). 😀😀😀😀 Space Storm Galaxy isn't that high on the list either, but it's not bad. And you called it "a really great galaxy", which made me happy instantly, so you deserve that like of mine! 👍👍👍👍 I myself love the music of this galaxy too. 🎶🎶🎶🎶 The second level of Space Storm Galaxy literally was some sort of remake of Buoy Base Galaxy's. This made me have a mind-blow, because I had chosen those galaxies to be my favorites even BEFORE I had gotten to the second level of Space Storm Galaxy. 😲😲😲😲 I guess Buoy Base Galaxy and Space Storm Galaxy just must've gotten the same ENERGY for exactly those two to appear in the same galaxy! 😎😎😎😎
@@leociresi4292 I was quite young when I played Sweet Sweet Galaxy. Couldn't even finish of, so my dad did it for me. Then much later, when I played the game again with Luigi, it was SO EASY. 😂😂😂😂
Hmm, I completed the boss blitz challange with almost a full minute time left and just 2 tries. Everyone seemed to struggle witj that one but it was so easy for me. But of course I sucked a lot in other galaxies where no one else did so that evens it all out xD
This may be an unpopular opinion, but I love the catequacksa in gold leaf galaxy. In general I just think that they’re super cute and I’m glad they made a return
Puzzle Plank Galaxy's music alone puts it in my top five galaxies in the two games. It's like a sort of space bluegrass. The music for "Heavy Metal Mecha-Bowser" in Toy Time Galaxy is also up there.
Nathaniel bandy deserves so many more subs! He puts charm, effort and time in all of his videos. He adds little skits and jokes in all of them too. He deserves over 1mill subs
Freezeflame galaxy is by far my favorite with it's mix of fire and ice I hadn't seen before with an amazing atmosphere. I have so much fun skating on ice and using the fire flower to it's fullest potential.
My favorite level in Galaxy 2 has to be Shiverburn Galaxy. That level just has the best atmosphere and it really feels like your in a different world when you look at the Galaxy's backdrop. Speaking of which, can't forget about the hell valley sky trees!
It seems so crazy how old Galaxy 1 and 2 are, because these feel like games you would have originally found on the Switch or Wii U. And I still love these today more than Odyssey. Best Mario game since World, and best 3D Mario game since 64
This was definitely one of the hardest Ranked videos I've had to make, I spent a lot of extra time swapping out galaxies and trying to figure out the worst from the best. Let me know your favorites and least favorites down below!
Earth
I never played galaxy im sorry but I enjoyed the vid
Nathaniel Bandy hello Love your videos
*ONE DAY AGO*
Nathaniel Bandy this first one
Mario galaxy 2 is 10 this year ... wow... where has the time gone?
It’s 10 today!
Wow I didn’t realise that
Out the door
@@fanboyyourguy you sure it didn't go out to this world
Oof time flies
honestly, I disagreed with a lot of this at first, because I thought, "that shouldn't be so low, I like that galaxy!" then I realized I just like all of them, and he's mostly right lol
Yah I agree, I think that the gateway should have ranked higher tho. Also the bunny’s in the snow one should have ranked lower
Van Engelhardt gateway isn’t really good but it’s just so nostalgic, that I wish it was higher
Anthony Wyrostek it’s not that good, but it’s not the second worse out of both games
Van Engelhardt definitely not. I honestly don’t agree with most picks on this list, but it’s all opinion based. For example, I don’t get how melty molten is below gold leaf.
That's literally how I felt writing this whole video, it was very hard to categorize this list haha
Space junk galaxy has such an underrated song, it's so beautiful for something described as junk
Agree
A shame that the ending of Slimy Spring Galaxy wasn’t mentioned. When the music fades out, leaving only the nature sounds and the wonderful grass landscape shines in the bright sun, I seriously thought I was in heaven
THIS also the music before that is just so athmospheric. The start of the level also looks great imo.
Also that the underwater terrain is so cool there!
I'm so glad this comment exists. I thought I was the only one thinking this.
That’s my favorite place in the whole game
When I was little I used to just hang out at the Honeyhive Galaxy and the Beach Bowl Galaxy and chill with the bees and penguins. Good times
Similar case here. I used to do Sea Slide Galaxy’s silver stars mission just because I enjoyed exploring the place and I enjoyed the purple coins mission for that reason. I know I liked to chill in Super Mario Sunshine, kinda like having a virtual holiday.
I just hang out in beach bowl, sea slide, star shine beach, gold leaf and honey hive, and toy time just talking to the bees,piantas,penguins and robots

Those were my favorite galaxies
Same, but I would hang with the bunny’s :)
"The green star is also pretty fun" -Nathaniel, not realizing what he just described was the green star
But it was!
Yep I was scrolling through comments to see if someone else noticed lol
honestly, Bandy here should've talked about the green stars more than just that.
Oops lol, its a beeg video im bound to make a couple errors here and there
Nathaniel Bandy Oh but it is fun! For me anyway, ya boi always likes a challenge
Look,
I don't care how good or bad each galaxy is compared to each other.
The fact that Nintendo made 91 galaxies, which are technically worlds in Mario games, does just enough to deserve my respect.
Listen to the end
Traditional 2D Super Mario Bros only have 8 or 9 worlds.
@@ArtieArchives yeah but, if you think of it, I’d say every galaxy is detailed and created to perfection, and since they’re supermassive galaxies, they’re like little worlds in traditional games, wouldn’t you say?
@@tandemtcg I agree, they are
I mean, it's not like you could even classify them as solar systems, but yeah, it's still a good amount of joy and fun.
I like starshine beach A LOT. The mario sunshine vibes are real, the water's color is gorgeous and the stars are fun and relaxing. I just wish there was a cool crab boss fight and the arena was the entire stage
Everytime time i was bored on this game i would go to this galaxy and chill in a boat or play with the yoshi
For me, I think the best moment in all of the Galaxy games has to be the ending of Slimy Spring Galaxy. This is not my favourite galaxy by any means... but that moment, right at the end, when you emerge from the murky cave, and the really gloomy music stops in its tracks and is replaced with birds and wildlife, the fog that has shrouded the whole level clears and you're looking right out onto a glorious sunset. You're in this haven, this safe little oasis and it's just perfect.
I always loved that stage when I was younger it took a long time to beat it but once I did it became one if my favorites.
I agree completely! I’ve had this moment burned into my mind, but couldn’t remember which galaxy (or which of the two games) it came from! But that scene you described has been vivid in my mind for years!
Yeah, I really love that. Especially considering urchins in the Mario Galaxy series(and porcupuffers for that matter, but thankfully, they are really rare) are my #1 most hated enemies. Out of all the enemies, they are the only enemies I have never gotten over being freaked out about. So to swim through that extremely hideous tunnel and narrowly dodging all these extremely hideous sea urchins, only to see that beautiful sunrise at the end...just...I can't describe with words. On a side note, the spiky plants in Honeybloom Galaxy are also scary
@@geometrydashgamer8311 I'm still terrified of the giant jellyfish in deep dark and cosmic cove
@@joshcohen29 Oh yeah. That's relatively scary too. Though I can tolerate it more than urchins and porcupuffers. But I haven't gotten hit by a jellyfish yet, and I don't want to see what happens when I do get hit by one

The loopdeloop galaxy's were actually some of my favorites.
Its just something about the smooth movement.

Also, I really need to finish Galaxy 1 at some point.

-nathaniel bandy 2020
Haha
Lmao
Oh wow,that's a way of looking at it
Very hot take: Slimy Spring Galaxy is my favorite out of both games. I think it’s really unique. I love the feel of it and the gameplay. And there’s something about the ending that I just absolutely adore. Perfect galaxy in my opinion.
True. The sunset at the end is so beautiful !
@@Oubokhbaas41 I was gonna say the same! The ending is so peaceful
@@kirdna4079 Sad that it's underrated. I had searched some fan art of this sunset but I saw nothing interesting.
"Fun factor, Atmosphere. And the general pacing"
They would all get zero on Atmosphere.
Nah a couple of them would have an atmosphere
@@Notkaikie You can't breathe in space silly that's the joke.
@@TrueChaosLord no I get that, I'm saying some of the planets would have an atmosphere, including the mushroom kingdom
@@Notkaikie Oh
Hmmmm
Who else hated life when your wii remote would die while playing it
Yes but it was even worse when your Wii remote or nunchuck started to become trash
6:43
Kristina OMG YES. My nunchuck started to have drifting problems and it makes the game so much harder
Me
It just makes me want to
DO THE MARIO SWING YOUR ARMS FROM SIDE TO SIDE COME ON ITS TIME TO GO DO THE MARIO TAKE ONE STEP AND THEN AGAIN COME ON ITS TIME TO GO DO THE MARIO (I’ve done that ten times today no joke)
When I was little I thought the brown planets in Gateway Galaxy was a peanut... (dont ask how, I just didnt notice the two planetoids weren't connected until I got older)
So I called it the Peanut Reactor
Lol. XD
Gateway or Good Egg? There is also a peanut in that galaxy
@@mikelbarrio9690 I mentioned it was gateway in the original comment
5:41 I legitimately did not know there were star chips in this galaxy
Thank you so much for putting Toy Time in the top 5. It’s been my favorite in the series since I first played it in the early 2010s. My inner little kid loves it too much to ever forget it.
I disagree with almost every part of this video, but I still loved it anyway
I appreciate that you can have a differing opinion but still enjoy the content and be respectful. Thank you for being refreshing.
Same.
same, my favorites didnt overlap but I liked the reasoning
yeah I think battlerock is WAAAAY too low, it’s probably in my top 10
Dreadnought was also way too low
I remember being about 7 years old when this came out, and I was initially scared of Mario Galaxy because of those blue blobs that stick to Mario and drain his hp. Something about them just creeped me out
SAMEEEE
I was scared of the black holes
20:34 (Saws literally cutting away the floor behind you forcing you to platform very fast.) “A SUBTLE sense of rush”
12:27 THAT IS THE GREEN STAR
EXACTLY
God the mere sight and hearing the names of all the Mario Galaxy 2 galaxies brought back so many memories I forgot I had. Seeing galaxies I visited so often during my childhood, remembering how damn hard the slide was for me at the time I played it, like god even just seeing the gameplay of it I can hear the background music to every last one playing in my head. Seeing something that have me joy all those years ago really makes me miss those days...
Thanks for bringing back my memories of the game dude, it makes me really happy to know they're still within me after all these years...
Next: ranking every planet in Mario Galaxy 1 and 2
Well, i could works like a top 10 wrost/best video
@@andreamenicatti1029 There are a lot of lack luster planets in the game, more specifically, those tiny floating planets in some of the less condensed galaxies that serve little to no purpose for any of the stars. Top ten worst seems like it would be pretty difficult to make for reasons completely different than top ten best.
@@andreamenicatti1029 Yeah, NB should try that! Maybe even feature Nicobbq!
1:44 Oh, Yoshi was a Power up. I didn't knew that.
Wait what? Yoshi was in that level?
@@diegoviramontes2479 I think Yoshi was inside the crystal.
"Grandmaster galaxy is just a kaizo level"
Don't tell him about master quest
Have I just not gotten to the actual end cuz I don't remember a Grandmaster Galazy at all!!!
@@cristianrubcich9542 grandmaster galaxy is what you get for 100% the game after getting all the stars. I don't want to spoil stuff in case you don't know but if you want to unlock it you need to get all the stars in the game. Masters quest is a mod for the galaxy which is a supper buffed version of a level called the perfect run in grandmaster galaxy.
Oh god oh frick
The moment when you realize the video is half an hour...
@No_Way 1 nah i need to savour the moment
It was? Only felt like 10 minutes to me.
Then enjoy every second
I was waiting for Cosmic Cove Galaxy the whole list since that is my favorite galaxy out of both games and i keep on finding myself going back to that stage and the fact that it was placed number 4 was right tho i would have placed it at number 1 for more than one reason
right omg the music was so realaxing and i‘d literally sit there sliding on the ice for hours straight I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS GALAXY
2:59 Me: *laughs in touchscreen*
Aren't you on musescore?
5:14 you don’t have to stand on the die you can just jump up there.
8:55
They're called "Mattermouths"
They look like Dry Bones' heads.
@@jacobvanantwerp2001 but they have a name.
@@jclkaytwo I know, but the heads look identical.
they are?
@@neutralamity Yeah.
Slimy Spring is CRIMINALLY low. Easily top ten without even thinking about it.
I hated Slimy Spring as a kid-swimming was stressful and hard as heck, so a _level_ full of it???
I should try and replay it though. Still don’t like really swimming, but I remember liking the atmosphere of swimming levels.
I completely agree. Slimy Spring had the best atmosphere in the game by far; coming out of the cave into the beautiful plains area with the glowing orange sky felt triumphant.
what was it ranked
@@aidancampos4898 almost yes but seaside kingdom is better imo
My favorites are Buoy Base Galaxy and Space Storm Galaxy! Even though you didn't rank them that high, I do agree with your commentary.
Thanks for acknowledging the GREATNESS of Buoy Base Galaxy's music! ❤💙💚💜 It surely sounds MAGNIFICENT and to be honest, I think that might also be a huge reason why I love the galaxy so much in its whole as well. I mean, I also like the lay-out of the galaxy, but yes, the star with the Torpedo Ted and Bullet Bill was that pretty short. Even so, I did like the level in which you had to climb the Buoy Base itself a lot, so even if it wasn't the galaxy with the longest levels, I did enjoy it very much (and kind of still do, whenever I listen to its music). 😀😀😀😀
Space Storm Galaxy isn't that high on the list either, but it's not bad. And you called it "a really great galaxy", which made me happy instantly, so you deserve that like of mine! 👍👍👍👍 I myself love the music of this galaxy too. 🎶🎶🎶🎶
The second level of Space Storm Galaxy literally was some sort of remake of Buoy Base Galaxy's. This made me have a mind-blow, because I had chosen those galaxies to be my favorites even BEFORE I had gotten to the second level of Space Storm Galaxy. 😲😲😲😲 I guess Buoy Base Galaxy and Space Storm Galaxy just must've gotten the same ENERGY for exactly those two to appear in the same galaxy! 😎😎😎😎
Mine was Sweet Sweet Galaxy. What could be more fun than running around through a giant cheesecake 😋
@@leociresi4292 I was quite young when I played Sweet Sweet Galaxy. Couldn't even finish of, so my dad did it for me. Then much later, when I played the game again with Luigi, it was SO EASY. 😂😂😂😂
I love Grandmaster Galaxy. Even though it’s hard, I had a blast playing it.
Let it be known once more:
I HATE STONE CYCLONE
Have you played boss blitz galaxy timer challenge yet
Hmm, I completed the boss blitz challange with almost a full minute time left and just 2 tries. Everyone seemed to struggle witj that one but it was so easy for me.
But of course I sucked a lot in other galaxies where no one else did so that evens it all out xD
Noobs I beat the perfect run
Woooooow. Your so great...
Ummmm how ‘bout the perfect run where you do the final level but with 1 hp
It's incredible how Galaxy 2 is already 10 years old. I remember being 6 playing it for the first time. Damn, just damn..
I was 10 when I played it for the first time. I beat it in 4 days since the controls were the same than in Galaxy 1.
@@samyb4566 That's funny because it took me 9 years to get all of the stars
Togedemaru's Iridescence Well. I beat the main story in 4 days. After that, I played until I was unable to go further.
How old are you now
@@ryanamburgy2791 It's been 10 years so, 16, probably.
3:17 sling pod galaxy is good for grinding star bits. But that's all that's good.
Though I don't entirely agree with this list, it's really good and I can tell that you put work into it.
Take a shot every time Bandy says ‘galaxy’.

@MB - 06PJ - Fallingbrook MS (1547) Drunk is a massive understatement. I think the term "wasted" would work quite well here.
@@antt2228 wasted still an understatement. I think 'dead' is the term to go with
komoii dead *within minutes*
Goodbye medulla oblongata.
“Boulderguist is a great boss” *Mayro wants to know your location*
This may be an unpopular opinion, but I love the catequacksa in gold leaf galaxy. In general I just think that they’re super cute and I’m glad they made a return
Love that Super Mario 64 “Throwback!” That, Fluffy Bluff, and Gusty Garden are my absolute favorites in the whole series!
Bouldergeist was my favorite level as a kid. I played that boss fight over and over again because I always had so much fun.

8:16 for yall ;)
Oh no...
I can feel the hashtag going up
That sounds racist but I know he means it’s dark outside
COЯE it sounds racist. It isn’t but it sounds it.
5:48 Star Chips?
I just wall-jumped.
I didn’t even know they were there.
I didn’t know either lol
Wait same lol
Puzzle Plank Galaxy's music alone puts it in my top five galaxies in the two games. It's like a sort of space bluegrass. The music for "Heavy Metal Mecha-Bowser" in Toy Time Galaxy is also up there.
Ah yes these are my favourite 3d mario games of all time. The memories man.
Same here, these games are masterpieces
This video was uploaded on SMG2’s tenth anniversary. Huh 🤔
5:13 You were supposed to stand on it?! I just jumped 🤣
Nathaniel bandy deserves so many more subs! He puts charm, effort and time in all of his videos. He adds little skits and jokes in all of them too. He deserves over 1mill subs
This List Was Amazing, And I Love Your Videos Man! You Really Do A Great Job On Them!
Freezeflame galaxy is by far my favorite with it's mix of fire and ice I hadn't seen before with an amazing atmosphere. I have so much fun skating on ice and using the fire flower to it's fullest potential.
10:28 HOW COULDN'T YOU MENTION THE BEAUTIFUL ENDING OF THAT GALAXY
you're right
Nostalgia! I kept track of all the Galaxies and never forgot one because I know these two games like the back of my hand.
30:00 for the best. I haven't watched the video yet, but I'm intrigued as to why the hell his #1 is what it is.
I completely agree lol
Xenon Xenu lol
I like sunshine beach in SMG2, Yes, it’s buggy, but it’s actually pretty fun otherwise!
What do you mean by "buggy"?
Togedemaru's Iridescence there’s a bug that allows you to ride Yoshi underwater and a softlock with the spinies, and some other bugs i forgot about.
16:54 I also loved the blizzard part, that was particularly cool (no pun intended)
My favorite level in Galaxy 2 has to be Shiverburn Galaxy. That level just has the best atmosphere and it really feels like your in a different world when you look at the Galaxy's backdrop. Speaking of which, can't forget about the hell valley sky trees!
7:18 *n i c e*
Slipsand Galaxy and Deep Dark Galaxy are definitely in my top 5, i just love the ambience
I love deep dark too
It seems so crazy how old Galaxy 1 and 2 are, because these feel like games you would have originally found on the Switch or Wii U. And I still love these today more than Odyssey. Best Mario game since World, and best 3D Mario game since 64
You gotta admit though, the dreadnought looks really cool. I like the idea of going inside it. One of the coolest looking ones imo
