New Super Mario Brothers Wii is way more fun. I don't remember playing Galaxy much after the first week or two I had it, but I have been playing lots of New Super Mario Brothers since it came out, and to this date. According to Nintendo Channel, I have played it three times as long already (though I am not the only one who plays that one).
Mario Galaxy was very well done (much better than Twilight Princess), but the pacing was too slow. Slow paced games should use story a lot more to make them more rewarding. Otherwise it was very well polished, but the plotline and adventure elements needed more work. This is why New Super Mario Brothers feels like a better game, because it did everything right for the 2D sidescroller genre in order to make it rewarding.
Anyway, New Super Mario Brothers was the first Mario game to do Mario Brothers right since Mario World. It was the true sequel to the main series, after 18 years.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
