The Return To Super Mario Galaxy. 

This game is famous for having some of the best music from any Mario game. And I think it deserves it. The music is fantastic!

Here’s the time stamps to find your favorite piece! 0:03 Luma’s Theme 1:38 Good Egg Galaxy 3:38 Dusty Dune Galaxy 6:03 Mecha Bowser 7:53 Purple Coins 9:55 Melty Molten Galaxy 12:48 Credits

For Galaxy 2, Sky Station Galaxy, Puzzle Plank Galaxy and Bowser's Galaxy Generator are absolute must listens.

My god, the Luma theme made me cry and STILL makes me cry to this day, every time i see the scene where they all combine to stop the black hole from swallowing everything... its so sad I mean it explains how new galaxies are born, if an old star dies, but still you have this bittersweet feeling TvT

This was a really fun one for a Part 2, We're sometimes sort of forced into the more 'hype' themes in most videos as we're trying to hit the most "top rated" themes. But this shows off some of the more chill and atmospheric music from the OST

Idk why but luma is always something nostalgic with tears for me and many people. It really shows how much music can unite many people.

Something I really want to mention during the Purple Coins theme is that at 8:50, the piece reuses the exact same motif that is used in Gusty Garden Galaxy after the Trumpet and Harp solos! It’s almost like the composer knew that this motif has so much power and feeling to it and wanted to utilize it! Just another point to add to the long list of reasons why Mario Galaxy’s soundtrack is a masterpiece to listen to!

Good Egg Galaxy is such a fantastic introductory piece It’s the very first real level you play after going through like 10 minutes of a tutorial, and it has you fly down for a few seconds with nothing but the sound of Mario whooshing through the stars, and the moment he lands with a bang and a triumphant “WA HA!”, the incredible orchestra comes in with a triumphant melody, as if to say “Oh yeah, you’re in for an ADVENTURE”

Fun fact! I usually point this out to people who react to Galaxy's OST so I figure I should let you know as well. Koji Kondo, who is fairly well known for composing tracks of the entire Mario series, decided to step back and work as the sound director for this game. So this game was actually composed by someone completely different! Their name is Mahito Yokota, and it was the first time they were composing for a Nintendo game, much less anything Mario related. Yokota did end up asking Kondo to compose two of the themes of the game for variety's sake, and the first one would be essentially one of the first that you hear - Good Egg Galaxy. It's not the first level in the game but it is the first world you reach after the tutorial ends. As for the second, it's a theme that's played probably the most throughout the game and wasn't covered in this video. You have heard it before! On a video I did not comment on at the time. It's Rosalina's Observatory.

The credits theme is one of my all-time favorite music. Just wonderful. Super Mario Galaxy 2 has an excellent OST as well. Cloudy Court/Fluffy Bluff, Puzzle Plank, Bowser's Galaxy Generator, Melty Monster, Throwback Galaxy, Cosmic Cove, Bowser Jr.'s Fort, the Bowser battle themes... a lot of bangers there.

For added context on Melty Molten Galaxy. It’s a small collection of planetoids covered in lava orbiting a larger planet also covered in lava minus a single island with a large volcano and a some sparse ruins. On top of that, the Galaxy is nestled in between two massive supernovas so close to each other their gravity’s cause then to exchange lava. Despite the environment being 95% lava, it is some of the best environmental storytelling in the game imo and the music sells it all the better.

I guess you didn't notice, but the part of Purple Coins at 8:49 and the Credits theme at 14:32 are actually reprises of the climax section of Gusty Garden from the previous part!! That melody is used in several pieces across both Galaxy games (and in some other later appearances too), it's basically a de-facto theme of Mario Galaxy.

Mecha Bowser is basically a giant robot toy of Bowser, which is likely why the song has both menacing and not so menacing parts

My favorite chill/ambient song is from the Freezeflame galaxy. Its so simple but the change of sounds/instruments depending on wether you’re in the hot or cold parts of the level is really immersive. Anyone that wants to listen to it should look for the video with both versions in one. Update: channel SilverShadowMusic has the mixed version uploaded. :)

Love the difference of you going "it's very cute" to Luma's theme meanwhile I'm bawling my eyes out

Super Paper Mario also has incredible music especially the bosses. Octoptah Traveler is another one you will most likly realy enjoy

Super Mario Galaxy 2 Super Mario 3d World Bowser's Fury Mario&Luigi games So many AMAZING OST to discover!

I came here straight after your Part 1. I am a full grown man and both the Rosalina's Story and the Luma's Theme (which plays while reading the Rosalina's Story) make me tear up. This, Space Junk Galaxy and Gateway Galaxy. It is such a powerful game! I don't think any other game will ever beat it, at least for me!

Melty Molten is my favorite because of the intense percussion, them strings, it progresses wonderfully and it works insanely well with the map's atmosphere

Fun facts: The Purple Coin challenges (aside from one) appear in the post-game, which involves collect 100 Purple Coins to make a Power Star appear. The Purple Coin music, though, only appears for ones where your on a timer. The OST name for Melty Molten Galaxy's music is "Hell Prominence".

Still tearing up at the credits after all these years, what a great soundtrack..

no way I rewatched this last night and I just found out there’s a part two now???

I'm a little disappointed that you didn't notice the motif from Gusty Garden Galaxy in Purple Coins. It's also in credits.

So Purple Coins isn't actually just Time Trial, most of them are timed challenges to collect a certain number of purple coins, but some are simply "Collect 100 purple coins" hidden across the whole level with no set timer

Super Mario Galaxy is what made me begin to truly appreciate video game music

Ah..Super Mario Galaxy…brings such nostalgia to my ears! Love it to death!

I clearly recommend the ost of Zelda Link's Awakening. It has so many great and cute themes. Especially "Ballad of the Wind Fish" just sounds great^^

Good Egg Galaxy is actually one of my favorite songs in the soundtrack. The opening trumpet fanfare seems like it‘s saying, “The hero is here to save the day!”

... you really need to do one for Super Mario Galaxy 2 there's some songs in there that are pretty awesome to (even if it also re-uses plenty of them from Galaxy 1)

I love how Good Egg Galaxy sounds similar to Gusty Garden Galaxy almost as a teaser of what is to come. (The Gusty Garden Galaxy melody is mixed into some other tracks like Purple Coins and the middle of the credits)

Would love to hear you listen to the soundtrack of Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze. Some real jams in that

Good Egg Galaxy gives me so much nostalgia during the drop, it’s one of my favorites!

man, the credits theme is sooo nostalgic to me. I literally tear up whenever i hear it, super mario galaxy soundtracks are legendary

Melty Molten Galaxy is the last level in the game besides the final boss level. The different levels in the game are unlocked as you collect more and more Power Stars, which are the main collectible in the game. Aside from the final boss level, Melty Molten Galaxy has the highest required number of Power Stars to unlock.

you cannot start the video with Luma, that is a sucker punch of nostalgia i was NOT prepared for. the emotion and power this song holds is something that you simply cannot understand without reading Rosa's Storybook and seeing the final cutscene of the game

Galaxy 2 also had a great soundtrack. Highly recommend checking that one out too!!

More galaxy!! Edit: Mecha Bowser's boss fight takes place in Toy Time Galaxy!

I am once again here to provide some context and/or thoughts because this is one of my favourite games ever. Good Egg Galaxy is the first regular level after the tutorial and introduction to the game so of course the music has to be captivating and get you excited to explore the little planets and fly through space! Dusty Dune Galaxy is -as you probably guessed- a desert level. And like many Nintendo Desert Levels is follows the pattern of cool design + awesome music + annoying gameplay (because quick sand is infuriating) All I have to say about Mecha Bowser is that it's not intimidating because it's a Toy Robot in the shape of Bowser (just very big) that you take apart by removing all the screws. The Purple Coin Comet music is IMO perfect for the type of level it is, because you're not there to explore you're breezing through the worlds you've already seen and testing your skill on how fast you are and how well you know your way around. You are correct, there's lava im Melty Molten Galaxy, in fact that's what most of that world is comprised of. It feels heroic because you're traversing over rocks and mountains between the lava and other fiery perils (dare I say Indiana Jones Style). And of course the Credits Theme providing a satisfying conclusion to your adventure, making you look back on all the challenges you overcame and feel happy about the experience and proud of your accomplishments. I don't know if you will do yet another part to this (I would certainly welcome it) but if not I still recommend the song "Family" from this ost. It is the very last song in the game, by which I mean you have to 100% beat the game TWICE to hear it in-game as it plays during a secret cutscene that is kinda relevant to the story but hard to explain to someone who doesn't know said story. Regardless it is a short, beautiful Piano tune and absolutely worth hearing. Alright now, smartass-ing over ✌💜

You should try the music for Super Mario Galaxy 2. It somehow improves over SMG1's ost IMO. Here are some of my favorites from that OST Spin-Dig Galaxy Fluffy Bluff Galaxy Puzzle Plank Galaxy, Wild Glide Galaxy Cosmic Cove Galaxy World 3 Map Starshine Beach Galaxy Bowser's Galaxy Generator

Context for Lumas theme. There'll be parts of Super Mario Galaxy where you're able to enter the Library and see Rosalina read a chapter of a story to the Lumas. A few things to note is that Rosalina serves a Mother like role to the Lumas and the Story she reads them is heavily implied that the story is actually Rosalinas Origin Story and it is sad

if you're doing part 2s, Kirby and the Forgotten land is calling you.

You can hear just how good the Purple Coin song is, but you are rushing through the stage trying to finish it it's difficult to appreciate it. The beach stages are good because the music changes when you're underwater & both versions sound so good.

The main chorus of good egg galaxy is also a backing melody of mario kart wii's rainbow road, perhaps that's where you heard it

Not every Purple Coin mission has the Purple Coin theme. Each level has a Purple Coin mission, the ones where the Purple Coin theme plays are timed in one way or another. Usually it's a literal time limit you can constantly see at the top of the screen and that beeps at you at every minute mark, but there are two that play out on moving platforms, where you have to grab the coins as the platform passes them by. It's not a literal time limit, but the platform only makes the one pass, and if you don't have 100 Purple Coins at the end of the track, you fail.

Super Mario galaxy 2 also has some of the best videogames themes, especially the world map themes, you should try it sometime

The melody at the very start and end of the credits is the main theme which plays in the title theme.

“A Wish” from this soundtrack gets me every time

The game’s music is so good, 😩 orchestral music in my view is the best genre of music

Do a part 3! You should listen to Beach Bowl Galaxy! You'll feel like you're at the beach, going for a swim with your friends, having a nice cold drink, splashing everywhere... IN SPACE!

The context with luma's theme is even sadder once you reach the end of the game

Mecha Bowser plays during a boss fight with a giant toy mecha koopa in Toy Time Galaxy which has a fun arrangement of the original mario theme.

“To the gateway” is beautiful 🥹

The reason why the track, Mech Bowser is what you didn't expect was because its actually a part of Toy Time Galaxy level (the track also has the same name as the level) in which you listened to that last episode!

context for mecha bowser- it's actually a giant toy robot bowser! it's the end of one of the levels in toy time galaxy, which is why it's an odd mix of menacing and playful ;p

Purple Coins always makes me think of the music in Tomorrow Land in Disney World.

Im amazed that ghostly galaxy or the bouldergeist boss theme havent made it to the mario galaxy list yet.

I love these reactions, and what makes each peice special is when ita paired with their galaxies in the game. You should see the galaxies they are played in or mabye play the game for fun.

The Purple Coins theme and the Credits have Gusty Garden Galaxy, that song you said you’ve heard before last video, in it

I actually cry over some of this music, its so good but emotionallllll!

Super Mario Galaxy 2 also has great music too. Id love to see a video on it

Super Mario galaxy 2 has some absolutely amazing themes as well

because of a song someone made the Purple Coin theme will now forever be known to me as "Sexy Luigi"

The Super Mario Galaxy Games have the Best Themes

good egg galaxy has a a section from wii rainbow road theme perhaps thats why it sounded familiar to you though it sounds kinda really similar to gusty garden too the buildup is very reminiscent

Enjoyed your reactions a lot, galaxy 2 also has some great songs if youd like to hear more! Songs like puzzle plank galaxy, fleet glide galaxy, spacestorm galaxy, melty monster galaxy, and digga leg battle are among my faves from that game

if you do a part 3, i highly suggest Drip Drop Galaxy, it's a surprisingly eerie and unnerving song

Now time for Galaxy 2 lmao, i really Like cloudy court Galaxy, the starship Sails, fleet glide galaxy, cosmic cove galaxy, Starship Mario 3, Yoshi star galaxy, and Melty MONSTER Galaxy is a banger

u rlly need to play this game! It's after 15 years still one of my favourite games of all time❤

since you have some really great reactions to mario galaxy ost, i reccomend you react to super mario 3d world ost. its a mixture of differents instrumental styles and its overall just a beautiful soundtrack

I am almost finished with a tropical jungle remix/cover of Purple Coins.

Luma plays, “this is cute” meanwhile me absolutely making an ocean of tears. Play mario galaxy and Mario galaxy 2!

If you do a part three, I put forth the recommendation of Bowser's Galaxy Reactor. It's the theme for the level that leads up to the Final Bowser Battle. Also maybe Bowser's Road, but I don't know if you've ever played Super Mario 64 or not.

For contects, mecha bowser is more like TOY mecha bowser

You need to listen to Donkey Kong Country 2 music from David Wise. Even other musicians who gave a reaction said things like his music can't be ignored, unique, very creative, experimental and his melodies sound so original like you havent heard anything similar to it. That's the magic behind his music. I still don't know how he does that.

Super Mario Galaxy (1 and 2) have the most wonderful OST I've ever heard playing a videogame! It brings me really good memories playing it when I was around 12 or 13 y/o. Thanks for reacting to such an incredible and the greatest OST from Nintendo. I suggest you react to Genshin Impact OST. It has really awesome OST too. (Imo, Signora's battle theme is something out of this world)

Fun fact I think the alien themed SFX are made with synths

Bastion (2011) ost is one of the best, you should do a video about that

Good Egg Galaxy is the game's first level, not counting the Gateway to the Starry Sky tutorial area.

You really need to listen to Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze music. It's incredible. Busted Bayou, Homecoming Highjinx , Irate Eight, Scorch and Torch, Jelly Jamberry, WingDing, VS Bashmaster are all bops.

She didn't get to the truly magical song, "star cove"

This is a soundtrack that has I've adored since childhood. You'd think I'd recommend another Mario OST but nah I'mma ask you react to Octopath traveller themes.

Cutting of the last note in the end 💀

I wish you would have reacted to Rosalina’s comet observatory part 3 and the gateway. Those two songs used to make me cry all the time.

I feel that they snuck a bit of Zelda in the credits

You should react to Galaxy 2, I'd recommend Sky Station Galaxy, Puzzle Plank Galaxy, Cloudy Court Galaxy, Bowser's Lava Lair and Melty Monster Galaxy. Also, if you decide to do 3D World, I'd say Double Cherry Pass, Chainlink Charge, The Bullet Bill Express, Hisstocrat, Sprawling Savanna and The Great Tower Showdown are great tracks to react to.

That familiarity is because it’s in smash bros. Because I’m 100% sure you heard it there

The first soundtrack it's hard 😢

You should do the Ghostly Galaxy theme in the next one! Fun fact: the first 4 noted of the song are D.E.A.D

It's worth Getting a wii JUST for super Mario Galaxy, Trust me

Again, gotta do the First Bowser theme!

We are finally doing a part 2 (Lumas story plays) Bloody cries

there needs to be a part 2 for paper mario pls

Oooh boy, here come the waterworks.

For context Mecha Bowser is a Toy Time Galaxy… boss? I think?

2:50 You probably recognize this from mario kart gusty gardens? I think?

Wonderful video to see today!

Now you gotta play the game

We need another one with galaxy 2!

You should totally do Mario Galaxy 2 next

Such a bittersweet end
