It was re-released in 2011 under the Nintendo Selects branding for having sold so well. It has sold 12.80 million copies, making it the ninth best-selling Wii game. It received various awards and accolades, including from the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences, the Interactive Achievement Awards, and the British Academy of Film and Television Arts. Super Mario Galaxy was critically acclaimed and commercially successful upon its release. The save data description for the game is 'Launch into a cosmic adventure!'

Mario is aided by his brother Luigi, a brigade of colorful Toads, star-shaped creatures called Lumas, and a mysterious woman named Rosalina. The plot has Mario exploring the cosmos and collecting Power Stars to rescue Princess Peach from Bowser, who is aiming to establish his own galaxy at the center of the universe. It sees Mario traverse more linear levels than those found in its 3D predecessors – Super Mario 64 ( 1996) and Super Mario Sunshine ( 2002) – that largely consist of spherical platforms with their own centers of gravity. It is the eleventh entry in the Super Mario series, the third 3D platformer, and the first of what would be recognized – in retrospect – as the 'course clear-style' games of the series. Super Mario Galaxy is a 3D action-adventure platformer game for the Wii, first released in Japan on November 1, 2007.
