Super Mario Galaxy is a 3D platform game developed and published by Nintendo for the Wii. It is the third 3D platformer in the Mario series, after Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine. A sequel, Super Mario Galaxy 2, was released in 2010.
The game follows the protagonist, Mario, on a quest to rescue Princess Peach from the game's primary antagonist, Bowser. Levels are galaxies filled with minor planets and worlds, while gameplay is updated with gravity effects and new power-ups.
Super Mario Galaxy was first shown at E3 2006 and enjoyed a high level of pre-release awareness. The game has been hailed by several gaming websites as one of the best video games of all time.
Problems
Music
Music stops after a few minutes when not using the LLE plug-in. A patch discussed on the forums extends play for longer, but doesn't fully correct the issue.
x86 Builds Hangs Before Credits
The x86 version of Dolphin will hang before the end credits play, refer issue 1170. It is related to the HLE sound plugin. To see the credits and save at the end without hanging, use LLE or disable sound.
Inverted Reflections
Certain materials that reflect Mario have inverted reflections, refer issue 3106. This issue actually also exists on real hardware, so it's not an emulator bug.
Mario Lacks Eyes
Mario has no eyes when using OpenGL(see picture), please use DX9 in revisions newer than r5457. This issue was fixed around Dolphin's 3.0 release.
Configuration
Only configuration options for the best compatibility where they deviate from defaults are listed.
