In a way, the aforementioned sub-genres are part of the problem, one of the reasons the definition gets a little muddled. The definition may sound overly basic - and, sure, there are more complex sub-genres such as Mega Man and Castlevania - but that’s pretty much the best way to describe what a platform game is and should be. the original Super Mario Bros., Adventure Island, etc.). What exactly is a platformer?

And with Super Mario Galaxy 2, I mean business.
Although I tend to get excited about everything (did I mention this keyboard I am typing on right now is INCREDIBLE?!), when I mean business, I mean business. I know saying things are the “best thing ever” is a daily occurrence for me - just today I have already eaten the best bowl of cereal ever, heard the best song ever, and even drove down the best street I have ever driven on - but don’t let my hyperbole-fueled views diminish your trust in my positive opinions. For me, Super Mario Galaxy 2 is the greatest platformer ever made. In our perfect 10 review of Super Mario Galaxy 2, fellow editor and object of my man crush Dale North excitedly called the Wii sequel the “Best Mario Game Ever!” Obviously I agree with this. The “yes” may turn into a “YES!”, but, other than the enlarged typing, my opinion will not be swayed. Okay, I will elaborate on why this is, but just know that there won’t be some kind of surprise ending at the conclusion of this feature.
