1.) Wait so a game that is has colorful graphics and non-sensical characters isn't like by someone because they said they felt it had too much colorful graphics and non-sensical characters? Isn't that again the very foundation of a basic opinion. She feels it is over-done. Over the top. Too Cartoony. Who are you to say which degree is too cartoony.
2.) Again, some people are picky SOBs. That 30 minutesof 2D might have really been a deal breaker for her. It's just like anything else. Kill Zone 2 got panned critically for it's controls because they didn't resemble Call of Duty's. (Well no shit it's a different game), but that doesn't matter. Everyone has an opinion on a subject. An incorrect opinion on this would be her saying that a game that contains NO 2D, has too much 2D. Since this game has 2D portions, she is incorrect in her opinion.
3.) Again, they are different games. Maybe she felt they were fitting with what was being presented in the game. Maybe she has different expectations from DS games or Wii games. A console with more horsepower than a handheld you might hold with different regards in terms of appearance and how games should look. Ratchet and Clank is a totally different ball of wax. Just because Ratchet and Clank is a cartoon game doesn't mean it suddenly is Mario's equivalent in cartoon appearance. Maybe, she feels that Ratchet and Clank is the right amount of Cartoony and Mario is too much. I certainly would say in my opinion that R&C is less cartoony than SMG. (Even though both are cartoons). Again, you can't prove this point.
4.) People dislike games for different things all the time. People complain about swearing in games. People complain about controls, appearance, etc. What's your point? The points she raises certainly exist in the game and while some people love them, some might absolutely hate them. Thus making the opinion valid (Able to be questioned, but still valid). There is enough 2D in the game for someone to be bothered by it obviously and I'm sure she isn't the only one saying it. Just because she didn't do the routine ball wash of Super Mario Galaxy 2 doesn't mean she is biased.

Look, you're just making shit up. You're trying to back up her opinion of it being too cartoony by bringing up things she's never even said before. The game is no more cartoony than the DS games yet she loves those. She is being a hypocrite, she didn't mention the degree of cartooniness, just that she is an adult and doesn't want cartoony games even though she's played them.
2) She's being irrational saying she wants more 3D. 30 minutes of 2D gameplay is by far not a deal breaker.
4) Because she's making up reasons to not like Super Mario Galaxy 2!
She says she's an adult who doesn't like cartoon-styled game even though she's admitted to liking to them. What's your response to that?

She is on the spot, live talking about the game. Maybe she didn't express her opinion in full? Regardless, you can't say what game is cartoony and which one isn't. You can't tell someone what they see. She felt the game was too cartoony. It's a logical opinion because the game is cartoony. She felt it needed less cartoony-ness and more 3D. Both logical complaints about the game. Maybe she detests the art design in the game but loves the DS ones. Who knows. They are two different games and while you can tell the resemblance, they are from two different spectrums.
For some people expecting a full immersive 3d experience, 30 minutes is quite a deal breaker. If Uncharted 2 switched up mid game to some 2D mini game people would be bitching up a storm about it.
How does disliking elements (that are present in a game) constitute as fabricating reasons to dislike a game?
She thinks the game is too cartoony. She wanted something less cartoony out of Mario Galaxy. She doesn't dislike cartoony games she just felt this one in particular was TOO cartoony.
