Super Mario Galaxy Deluxe

Super Mario Galaxy Deluxe is a 3D Action-Adventure platforming game developed by Nintendo EPD and Step Ahead Studios. It is a HD remaster of the original Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 games for Nintendo Wii released on March 5th, 2021 for both Nintendo Switch and later ported to the Nintendo Polygon as a launch title on December 2nd, 2022. However, if you use the original Super Mario Galaxy Deluxe cartridge, the enhanced port will be downloaded to the Nintendo Polygon system for free.
==Plot==
===Super Mario Galaxy===
Mario starts off racing towards the centennial Star Festival. However, along the way, he notices strange crystals with Lumas embedded in the ground. Upon arriving at the castle and its surrounding town, Bowser has invaded, lifting up Princess Peach's castle and taking it to space. Kamek launches Mario through space, and he lands on a small planet with Rosalina. Rosalina explains that Bowser has stolen all of her power stars, and without them her ship is immobile. Mario agrees to collect enough power stars in different galaxys to fly the ship to the centre of the universe.
Upon collecting all of the power stars, Rosalina flies to Bowser's galaxy, which later turns into a supermassive black hole as one of his planets collapses. Sacrificing themselves, the lumas jump into the black hole, and recreate the universe. After this, Bowser runs off, presumably to start working on new plans. The camera pans up, fades to white, and displays the original game's logo.
After the logo fades away, the text "1 year later" appears on screen, before the screen fades into a remaster of Super Mario Galaxy 2. It is revealed to the player that due to Rosalina and the Lumas recreating the universe, the Star Festival can take place once again.
===Super Mario Galaxy 2===
On his way to the new Star Festival, Mario encounters a baby Luma. It enters his hat, and gives him the ability to spin, which can destroy certain objects and act almost as a "double jump" in air. After arriving at the Star Festival, Mario encounters Bowser, who has swallowed enough Grand Stars to grow to an immense size. After kidnapping the Princess, Bowser escapes to the centre of the universe, much like in the previous game. After following him into space, Mario finds the Starship Mario, which is repaired to look like his face by Lubba, a purple Luma mechanic.
Upon collecting all of the power stars, Mario reaches Bowser's starship fortress. After infiltrating it, Mario defeats Bowser and collects the final grand star. Rosalina makes a cameo appearance, thanking Mario for watching over Baby Luma, and returning it to the Comet Observatory. As Mario and his friends return to the Mushroom Kingdom, the Starship Mario hovers above Peach's Castle, and the Comet Observatory streaks across the story.
As the camera pans up and fades to white, the logo for Super Mario Galaxy 2' is displayed, and the true credits for Super Mario Galaxy Deluxe rolls onscreen. At the end of the credits, the logo for Super Mario Galaxy Deluxe' is displayed, and the player hears Mario say "Thank you for playing!"
==Gameplay==
Once you start the game, the logo for Super Mario Galaxy Deluxe will be displayed. Pressing any button will show the logo for Super Mario Galaxy or Super Mario Galaxy 2. If Galaxy 1 has not been beaten yet, Galaxy 2 will be greyed out. Each game has 3 save files, displayed by a planet, which can either be a Mario character's head or a Mii's head, much like the original games.
In the first game of the remaster, Mario can explore the Comet Observatory, which functions as the world hub. There, Mario can explore the galaxy via a room in the first section by pulling on a Warp Star. When Mario unlocks a set amount of power stars, the Comet Observatory's core will expand, and a new section of the Observatory will be unlocked, allowing for more exploration outside of traditional levels.
In the second game, Mario can explore Starship Mario. Unlike the Comet Observatory, this is unlocked all at once. By stepping on a pad near the helm of the ship, Mario is brought to a level select, where he races along a set line (sometimes expanding into 3) to the end of the World, where he can then explore a new galaxy. The Starship itself gains new features as Mario explores new galaxys (for example, when Mario finds Yoshi in the Yoshi Star Galaxy, Mario can ride Yoshi by finding his egg on the nose of Starship Mario.)
Just like Galaxy 1 and 2, Mario has his full range of 3D abilities, like the triple jump, ground pound, long jump and backflip. When riding Yoshi, Mario can use a flutter jump, where Yoshi gains a bit more height and stays in the air for longer. Unique to these games is Mario's ability to fire Star Bits at enemies. While the player can point a Joy-Con at the screen to bring up the pointer in Tabletop and TV mode, it is now achieved with the right stick to aim the cursor, and the X button to fire. Mario also has the ability to spin or do a spin jump, for a little extra height on his jump. This is achieved by either shaking the controller or pressing Y.
New to this game is a playable Luigi in Galaxy 1, as opposed to playing certain levels as him. This was already a feature in Galaxy 2, but now it has been brought to Galaxy 1, along with Luigi's different physics in both games. Some levels have been tweaked to better fit his unique physics. Also new to this game is a playable Peach. After completing both games in the collection, a message will appear thats says "You can now play as Peach." Peach can float for a short period of time, but is noticably slower than both Mario brothers.
