What game was better Super Mario 64, the oruganl 3-D Mario adventure, or Super Mario Galaxay, thr best 3-D game since Super Mario 64 was?  I can't decide which is better because I really like both.  Both of them have so many worlds to play through and great items for Mario it is so hard to decide...

Galaxy.

I enjoyed Galaxy more.

When Mario 64 came out, it blew my mind with its greatness. It was truly revolutionary at the time. It's probably not a fair comparison, considering the time lapse between the two, but Galaxy upped the ante -- and did it well.  Galaxy takes the cake.

Galaxy is easily the better game, but I don't think that it will retain the sense of nostalgia for me that SM64 does.

Super Mario 64. Galaxy was far too linear and felt like it lost a lot of charm that 64 and Sunshine had. Not to mention the soundtrack for Galaxy was meh.

"Super Mario 64. Galaxy was far too linear and felt like it lost a lot of charm that 64 and Sunshine had. Not to mention the soundtrack for Galaxy was meh."

Both for me, both a incredible games, tho Sunshine was the one I didn't like very much.

Well, I don't know about you but I thought the soundtrack for Galaxy was spectacular.  The mood and charm the music had really impacted my feelings for the game.  Thus, I feel that Galaxy is the best GAME of the two, though I have creepily fond feelings for Super Mario 64 as well. God only knows how many times I have played that one. Still, Galaxy is an excellently made game that is still the only great game on Wii yet (with Brawl being "good" and the RE4 port being amazing, but just a port)."

"For me, Mario Galaxy. Although Mario 64 was a big leap into 3D, I really loved the platforming in Galaxy."

Galaxy

Umm.. yeah when you ask a question like this just imagine both games sitting for $50 at a store. Which one would you buy? Duh, Galaxy.

mario galaxy but 64

Mario 64 is more revolutonery the galaxy but galaxy is a better game.

While I haven't yet played Super Mario Galaxy, it's really difficult to imagine it being on par or better than Super Mario 64.

Super Mario 64 was an excellent game at the time, and it still stands up extremely well today, but galaxy takes the core awesomeness of 64, and brings it into the current generation.

I can't honestly pick between the two of them.  Mario 64 is classic and I know it forward and backward.  The levels are all well-built and memorable.  The bitch about the game is the camera.  Granted, it was early in 3D platforming, so that issue was still being worked out.  However, it was troublesome then, and it's troublesome now.  I wonder how some places ever gave it a 10.

Dude, Mario 64 all the way.

Super Mario 64. I'll be honest, I'm not even a big fan of it, but Super Mario Galaxy has got to be the most overrated game I've ever played. It was mediocre in nearly every aspect. Even the gameplay was flawed. I even finished the whole game and don't think I will ever understand why people praise it so much. I see so many problems with the game, and so many bad design choices. I'm not saying it's a bad game, but I certainly can't even call it "good". At least I had some fun with Super Mario 64 and can appreciation how groundbreaking it was for the industry. I can't say much good about Galaxy. Since I'm sure so many of you already disagree with what I've just said, I'm gonna pour some more gas on this fire. Honestly, I think Super Mario Sunshine is a better game than both. Oh, I am serious. Though, don't get me wrong, I have criticisms of that game as well.

Galaxy was easily a better game, but I enjoyed mario 64 more. I think galaxy was a bit easy and linear for me. And I wanted to collect all the stars right away, which made the game sort of a drag to play.

Super Mario 64, but that's nostalgia talking.  Galaxy is still a fantastic game.

Mario 64 had more polish than Mario Galaxy. For example, in Mario 64, Mario and the analog stick controlled wonderfully. However, in Galaxy, it isn't as responsive.

But the music, the worlds, and the sheer sense of wonder that Galaxy delivers is far superior.

How come nobody has noticed... Mario is NOT an astronaut! lol Mario 64 is waayyyyy better considering the times they we both released. Mario 64 still had the "Mario" feel to it. Mario galaxy is like Mario, Sonic, Toy Story and some made up junk put together. I Hope Nintendo does make another Mario, but back to its roots, More like Mario 64, not flying through space and jumping upside down. Galaxy just doesnt make too much sense. Nintendo could have used the "Space" idea for a whole new game series, but Not Mario.

I like them both equally to tell you the truth. Now, if they could do to Super Mario 64 what they did to Super Mario Bros with New Super Mario Bros Wii, then that would truly be exciting.
