In Super Mario Galaxy 1, you got a little extra world you could just kind of walk around in. In New Super Mario Bros Wii, when you get everything, you can unlock all the cool videos that show off "super skills." So I went all the way in on Super Mario Galaxy 2, my son and I played it religiously, finished it in a few weeks, except for two levels. The cosmic star levels on the final world: The Ultimate Test and The Perfect Run. I cannot stress just how difficult The Perfect Run was. When we beat it, I felt real good about my gaming skills, but there was no real special treat for doing so. Completing it was worth it for the challenge along, but that was a huge letdown. But in general, you're right. New Super Mario Bros Wii is a classic while Super Mario Galaxy 2 is just a great game, probably even better than Super Mario Galaxy 1, but not as fresh or awe-inspiring.
