==International play==
The E3 demo exhibited a presentation reminiscent of [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]]-era games like ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and ''[[Balloon Fight]]'' in which the game engine is already running at the title screen, and pressing START sequences directly into the first level. Most of the game takes place in outer space along a vast chain of miniature [[Minor planet|planetoids]] and other space matter. Mario can jump from planet to planet to collect various items and defeat enemies. Each planet's [[Newton's law of universal gravitation|gravitational force]] prevents Mario from drifting off into space. Different planets have different gravity which has various effects on Mario's jumping. The gravity could be used for example to change Mario's direction mid-flight as seen in the new [[Game Developers Conference]] ''Super Mario Galaxy'' trailer. Another feature involving the deviation of gravity are floating orbs of blue light (usually in a chain sequence) with small stars orbiting them. When the player points the Wii remote at the luminous blue orb and presses B, a ray of light shines from the orb and down to Mario, who is then beamed up into the radiating bubble. Mario traverses them by floating from one to another, in a unique take on conventional platforming.
*Played for Team Canada in the 1988 World Junior Championships.
[[Image:Supermariogalaxydemo1.JPG|thumb|left|200px|Mario is launched to a nearby planet.]]
The point of the game is to collect [[Starman (Nintendo)|stars]]. Mario will face monstrous [[Boss (video games)|bosses]], such as a crowned octopus in a pit of lava, a [[spider]], and a towering, mechanical boss that resembles a [[Snifit]], a bullet shooting monster, and a flower headed monster that resembles [[Petey Piranha]] with a dinosaur-like body, leaves for hands, and a long vine-like tail. For every boss Mario defeats, he gets a [[Starman (Nintendo)|star]]. During the course of the game, Mario will make good use of his spin attack. It is certain that a star cursor will be featured in the game, allowing players to interact with the world, but how, or if, it fits into the storyline has not yet been revealed. A black hole was used inside a [[Swiss cheese]]-like planet to create a bottomless pit. Mario was also seen flying along the surface of a star, weaving in and out of sun-flares.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://movie.nintendo.co.jp/data/wii_preview/lineup/movie_lineup.swf | title=Wii Preview | format=video | publisher=Nintendo | access-date=2007-03-03}}</ref> Mario has also been seen following rabbits which lead him through certain paths just before transforming into a Toadstool, very reminiscent of ''[[Super Mario 64]]''.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n10/nww/wiisoft/02.html#01 | title=Nintendo World 2006 | language=Japanese | accessdate=2007-03-03}}</ref> He has been additionally noticed following a chain of music notes which, when all 20 are collected, grants him a 1up mushroom. He also has seemed to start collecting diamond-like orbs, called "Star Shards", for indeterminable purposes.
Also, a "Bee-Suit" can be equiped, which allows Mario to hover in the air for a short period of time. Another item allowing Mario to take the form of a Boo has also been shown.

Two-player functionality was already confirmed for the game. The development team is already experimenting with new ways to use the Wii Remote so that one player can control Mario while the other aids him. Conversely, [[Shigeru Miyamoto|Miyamoto]] also suggested that the second player could have the ability to interfere with Mario's progress.

Although ''Super Mario Galaxy'' controls very similarly to past ''Mario'' games, the controls have been partly redesigned to take advantage of the Wii Remote.
*The control stick on the [[Wii Remote#Nunchuk|Nunchuk]] attachment is used to move Mario.
*The A button on the Wii Remote is used for jumping. Timed presses will result in progressively higher jumps, similar to the triple-jump function in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]''.
*The Z button on the Nunchuk is used for crouching. Most of the crouching/jumping combinations from the two past 3D ''Mario'' games are present such as the long jump and the back flip.
*Pressing the B button causes a star-shaped [[cursor]] to appear on the screen. The cursor can be moved about according to where the Wii remote is pointed in order to perform many functions, such as interacting with objects (the E3 demo showed it ringing bells and reflecting enemies' attacks back at them), picking up or moving objects, and grabbing onto special locations while in mid-flight.
*The Wii-Remote will be used as a pointer which can be used for several actions. If the cursor is held in front of an enemy, the enemy will temporarily be blocked by the cursor. Shaking the Wii remote rapidly from side to side causes Mario to do a spin attack, similar to his spinning jump from ''[[Super Mario World]]'', ''[[Super Mario Land 2]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. This appears to be his main form of attack, defense and interaction throughout the game. For example: The spin attack may be used to activate cannon-like stars which can shoot Mario off to other planets (as demonstrated in the E3 demo).
*The camera view is mostly automatic, though the [[D-pad]] can also be used to adjust the view. The C button on the Nunchuk can be used to center the camera.
