Does Mario need to be so kiddy?

So you're saying Mario Galaxy is too kiddy to appeal to adults? I personally don't see it. I thought the setting, enemies, characters were full of charm and I didn't feel like I was playing a kid's game.

I'll try to demonstrated, it's hard to put into words and find evidence for what I consider a step in the wrong direction in some of the games. I replied to JWeinCom with music for starters, I'll try to get an analysis of graphics, though I had another thread demonstrating that too, mind you I could push the envelope a little further.

If it's hard to put into words, that is a sign that it is probably a subjective thing. Someone might consider it kiddy, others see adult themes in it. But that's personal opinion.

Another typical example would be the book 'Le Petit Prince' (The little Prince):

It seems childish on the surface, but if you actually read, it contains adult themes about trust, love and friendship, that are way too much for a child.

 

On antoher note: The Japanese are the coolest people in the world. Looking into the Wikpedia-article for the little prince I saw they have a museum for the little prince. Yes! I have to visit Japan some time.
