Presentation
The Presentation of this game is excellent. The game packaging is top notch with a colorful cover and a multi-language back for mass appeal in the ever expanding linguistic diversity of the United States. The packaged handbook, also printed in multiple languages is in-depth, colorful and helpful. The art on the disc is pretty cool, it is really shiny, kind of holographic.
On to the presentation of the actual game. This to is excellent. The menus are straight forward and easy to navigate with the Wii remotes pointer. The menus are colorful and pleasing to the eye.

Graphics
The Graphics are incredible. Even if the game is on the "graphically limited" system of this generation, the graphics are top notch even compared to the PS3 or 360. Textures are beyond those of any Nintendo game I have played or watched to this day. The frame rate is solid; I have not yet seen it drop below it's 60fps rating. Level design and camera angle are so weird (but awesome) that it is hard to describe. I think my best description is that the game is 3 1/2d. Character animation is fantastic, especially Bowser with his hair and body texturing.

Sound
Perhaps the best part of the game is the music. I felt as tough I were at a Disney movie (when they were good). The music has an epic feel to it, it is better than any other I have heard in a game. There is not much voice acting but where there is, it is of great quality.
Rating: 10!!! I would give it more but i can't
Gameplay
In a nutshell: godlike. The game fixed the camera angles of past 3d titles. The gravity-object system is mind boggling. You can walk around whole planets (or asteroids or whatever you land on), some of which are tiny some enormous. There are usually multiple planets in a galaxy. Controls fit the game perfectly. Not once did I find myself frustrated because I pressed the wrong button.

Lasting Appeal
When you get the game, you will just want to keep playing. I don't know my time, but the game is long and challenging. Multi-player is a little shallow but fitting for a platformer game. I cannot quite comment on replay value for I have not yet beaten the game once yet.
Rating 10!!!
10.0
Virtually flawless. No game is absolutely perfect, but 10s represent the pinnacle of gaming brilliance. It doesn't get any better than this. This is like winning the lottery on your birthday. It takes a rare and special game to earn a perfect 10 from us.
I hope you enjoyed the review, Donkey545
