About this game
Nintendo's 2007 Wii platformer, built on the idea that every lump of rock has its own gravity. Walk far enough around a small planet and you are upside down without the camera ever having cut, and a jump that leaves one planetoid can be caught by the pull of the next. That one rule is what the levels are built out of, spheres, discs and shapes that loop back on themselves. The remote does two jobs of its own: a shake spins Mario in place, and the pointer picks up the star bits scattered through every level. The music is the other departure, fifty musicians and the first Mario game with a real orchestra behind it. The gravity is why it has not dated: one rule, applied everywhere, and every level in the game is made out of it.
