I played Galaxy on the 3D collection a couple years ago and it hasn’t aged that well. I LOVED it in 2007 but it felt more like theme park Mario. Mario has a very small move set, his smallest of any 3D game, and he doesn’t control particularly smoothly. Levels are very linear, everything is very small and, you’re always fighting with a forced perspective camera telling you where to go. Many challenges built around motion controls that were novel at the time, not so much now.
Soundtrack is still legendary though, forever a 10/10.
Odyssey is the best 3D Mario and it’s not even really close, IMO.
