Super Mario Galaxy is more similar to Super Mario Sunshine than Super Mario 64.

1. In 64, he can use a cannon. In Sunshine, after rocketing into the air, he has little control, and quickly plummets. 2. In that case, Pokey Sprouts are Pokeys. Fire Bars are in 64. Look again. I would like to add Swoopers to the list of enemies in 64 and Galaxy, but not Sunshine. http://www.mariowiki.com... 3. I added that to the contention. Whether or not there are other characters is not as important as what the characters are. 5. Bowser coming down with airships and kidnapping Peach isn't action? What? 6. I know. They're just representative. You conceded the point. 8. That is one massive glitch. How do you know that Sunshine and Galaxy lack such a glitch? It took many, many years to find the other one. 9. That is about graphics. 10. That is about graphics. 11. No, they are not. Giant bees are structured much differently than tiny bees. 13. What doesn't 64 offer the possibility? 14. So did 64. In fact, most of the areas in 64 had at least some water. 1. Very minor. 2. But they both lack F.L.U.D.D. Also, in Sunshine, at many points during gameplay, Mario loses F.L.U.D.D., or transforms it into a different nozzle. This never happens to the Luma. 3. It's true. 4. But very minor, having little impact on the resolution. 5. Similar is not equal to. 6. It is. In 64, you'd probably exit course to try again. 9. In Sunshine, he cleans goop with water. In Galaxy, he cleans trash with bombs. Also, he dies if he fails in Sunshine. Not so for Galaxy. 10. But one is judged, while the other is used to kill things. Different. 11. "Usually." That does not mean always. 16. The cannon in Sunshine is simply a portal to a different place. It functions no differently than a Warp Pipe. In 64 and Galaxy, you aim the cannon, and choose when to fire. 17. It makes Ocarina of Time more similar than it would otherwise be. 19. If you have three pictures, and one has a red pineapple, one has a yellow pineapple, and the other has both a green pineapple and a watermelon, which two are the most similar? The first two. 12. Very minor. 13. But they are not the same. 15. How do you know? You haven't played Sunshine nearly as much as you have 64. 17. That's because it's indoors. 18. This is not "in-game." 21. How do you know? Time for new contentions. Contention 21: Lava In 64 and Galaxy, lava makes Mario jump into the air, taking some damage. In Sunshine, it's an instant kill. "Falling into the lava results in instant death." http://www.mariowiki.com... Contention 22: Ice Water IN 64 and Galaxy, there are places where Mario takes damage from being in the water. http://www.mariowiki.com...'s_Land#Star_4:_Whirl_From_the_Freezing_Pond http://www.mariowiki.com... Contention 23: Sunken Ship There is a sunken ship in 64 (Jolly Roger Bay) and in Galaxy (Drip Drop Galaxy), but not in Sunshine. http://www.mariowiki.com... http://www.mariowiki.com... Contention 24: Clams There are clams in 64 and Galaxy, usually containing a coin or similar item. http://www.mariowiki.com... Contention 25: Piranha Plant In 64 and Galaxy, this enemy looke normal, is not covered in goop, and can be killed with a jump. http://www.mariowiki.com... Contention 26: Airship In 64, there is a flying ship in Rainbow Ride. In Galaxy, Bowser has a fleet of flying ships. http://www.mariowiki.com... http://www.mariowiki.com... Contention 27: Pyramids There are pyraminds in 64 (Shifting Sand Land) and Galaxy (Dusty Dunes Galaxy). http://www.mariowiki.com... http://www.mariowiki.com... Contention 28: Rabbit Hunting In 64 and Galaxy, there are stars that can be obtained by catching rabbits. http://www.mariowiki.com... http://www.mariowiki.com... Contention 29: Logo In 64 and Galaxy, the logo has the word MARIO with a blue M, green A, yellow R, red I, and green O. In Sunshine, all letters are blue, except the O, which looks like a sun. http://www.mariowiki.com... http://www.mariowiki.com... http://www.mariowiki.com... Contention 30: Snow There is no snow in Sunshine, but there is a lot of snow in 64 (Cool, Cool Mountain; Snowman's land) and Galaxy (Freezeflame Galaxy; Snow Cap Galaxy). This also applys to snowmen, although the ones in Galaxy don't attack you. http://www.mariowiki.com... Contention 31: Green Shell These do not appear in Sunshine. In both 64 and Galaxy, they can help Mario traverse water more quickly. http://www.mariowiki.com... Contention 32: Invisibility In 64, Mario can get the Vanish Cap, which lets him pass through certain walls. In Galaxy, Mario can get the Boo Mushroom, which turns him into Boo Mario, which lets him go through certain walls. http://www.mariowiki.com... http://www.mariowiki.com... Contention 33: Transformations In 64, there are the three caps (Wing Cap, Metal Cap, and Vanish Cap). In Galaxy, there are Mushrooms, Flowers, and Stars (Bee Mushroom, Boo Mushroom, Spring Mushroom, Fire Flower, Ice Flower, Rainbow Star, and Red Star). This is unlike F.L.U.D.D.'s transformations because this changes Mario himself, not his assistant. Contention 34: Volcano In 64 and Galaxy, Mario is able to enter a volcano from above. He can't in Sunshine. http://www.mariowiki.com... http://www.mariowiki.com... Contention 35: Sinking Sand There is no sinking sand in Sunshine. http://www.mariowiki.com... http://www.mariowiki.com...
