Super Mario Galaxy is a Gem in Disguise

Over the last month or so, my siblings have returned from college and we had time to catch up on life with each other. One way we do this is by playing various Wii games. This ranges from Mario Kart, to Super Smash Bros. to Super Mario Galaxy. That last one is by far my favorite. SMG is such a hidden gem in so many ways. It brings all of me and my siblings so much nostalgia and good memories, but what makes the game stand out to me the most is the soundtrack. Every single song composed by Koji Kondo is an absolute masterpiece. Each song either has you in a hyped up, motivated, in a good mood, chill, emotional, or nostalgic feeling. Its crazy how such an old game can bring out the best of people by just the soundtrack, this goes to show how great the game is, and I miss being 8 years old and being able to come home after doing nothing at school and grinding this game out.
