[[Shigeru Miyamoto]] considers ''Super Mario Galaxy'' to be the "true" sequel to ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', not ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. Though this was not stated around the time of its release in 2007, it is internally recognized for having directly informed the structure of the following three 3D ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' games as of 2017, collectively called the course clear-style games.<ref name=switch/> The oldest of these three, ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', is a direct sequel and the first one to be released on the same console as its predecessor since ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]''.{{footnote|main|C}} Building upon the first game's design philosophy, its courses are more linear and reliant on 2D sections. The outer space theming is subdued. Gameplay components like the world map and [[Prankster Comet]]s were greatly simplified. The hub world became a smaller area, and the unique narrative elements of ''Super Mario Galaxy'' were muted. These changes were made to further foster accessibility to a wider audience and reduce dependency on camera controls. This design trend was subsequently expanded upon in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', games that were viewed as adopting more design philosophies from the concurrent ''[[New Super Mario Bros. (series)|New Super Mario Bros.]]'' titles than the hakoniwa principals of prior 3D entries. ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'' was the first 3D game to not be explicitly tied to ''Super Mario Galaxy'' since ''Super Mario Sunshine'', but even this title incorporated elements derived from the game. The [[Moon Kingdom]] in particular was created to visually contrast with the lush, vibrant elements of ''Super Mario Galaxy''{{'}}s levels and incorporated explicit callbacks. [[Gravity]] is generally weaker in the lunar kingdoms, making [[jump]]s feel floatier.

Iconography from ''Super Mario Galaxy'' has been incorporated into nearly all space-themed settings throughout subsequent spinoff games, such as in [[Wii Rainbow Road|Rainbow Road]] from ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' and [[World 8 (Dr. Mario World)|World 8]] from ''[[Dr. Mario World]]'' ([[List of games by date#2019|2019]]). [[Rosalina]] has become a recurring character in these titles in addition to making reappearances in the mainline games. Rosalina often appears alongside older ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' characters in physical Nintendo advertisements, such as at {{wp|Narita International Airport}}. [[Luma]]s, [[Star Bit]]s, and the [[Toad Brigade]] have also become recurring elements in the franchise. The [[Captain Toad|Toad Brigade Captain]] has appeared in four subsequent mainline games and even starred in a [[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker|dedicated title]]. For more specific callbacks to ''Super Mario Galaxy'', see [[#References in later media|below]].
'''Green Koopa Troopas''', also rendered as '''Koopa Troopas (Green)''' and occassionally referred to as '''Green Koopas''', are a variety of [[Koopa Troopa]] introduced alongside {{Fake link|Red Koopa Troopa}}s in the original ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' Unlike the red-shelled ones, Green Koopa Troopas walk straight off the edges of platforms without pause and are among the most recurring enemies in the games within which they appear. Green-shelled Koopa Troopas appear in isolation from their red counterparts in many of the spinoffs and a few of the mainline ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' games, in which their color is usually not specified within the accompanying text and media.


This is the last game directed by [[Yoshiaki Koizumi]], who has taken on the role of producer for subsequent ''Super Mario'' projects. From 2013 to 2023, he was the representative director at [[1-UP Studio]], a sister studio to [[Nintendo EAD]], where he helped facilitate the development of ''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker'', ''Super Mario Odyssey'', and ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'' ([[List of games by date#2021|2021]]). The level-design director for ''Super Mario Galaxy'', [[Koichi Hayashida]], inherited the role of director for all subsequent course clear-style 3D titles. ''Super Mario Galaxy'' was the last ''Super Mario'' title to see "serious" involvement from Miyamoto until ''[[Super Mario Run]]'' ([[List of games by date#2016|2016]]).
The unfastidious movements of Green Koopa Troopas parallels the behavior of [[Koopa Paratroopa|Green Koopa Paratroopa]]s, which become Green Koopas when [[stomp]]ed, and [[Green Shell]]s in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series. Though originally quadrupedal, they have largely been depicted as bipedal turtles with green shells and matching boots from ''[[Super Mario World]]'' onward.


''Super Mario Galaxy'' not the first video game to integrate spherical worlds that pan under the player character's feet, but nearly all games that have integrated the concept after ''Super Mario Galaxy'' are compared to it by professional reviewers and in casual parlance. (Yoshi's Island, Sonic Adventure 2, Ratchet & Clank, and Psychonaughts have some spherical worlds, but it may be needless to list them all. It is more important to remark on examples after the fact of games being compared to it, like Sonic Lost World); note how the concept at large has rarely been attempted.

In-house (conceptual)
====''Super Mario Bros. Special''====
*Last Mario game to see "serious" involvement from Miyamoto until Super Mario Run ([https://www.wired.com/2016/12/miyamoto-interview-2/ ref])
*Last game directed by Yoshiaki Koizumi, who would be given greater roles as producer for other Mario projects, while Galaxy level designer Koichi Hayashida would be given directorial duties for subsequent entries
*SMG2 would be the last time Nintendo attempted to create a platformer with spherical worlds (have they ever said why?)
*Apparently Odyssey's Photo Mode derived from the developer's attempt to mitigate the complexity of camera controls ([https://geekdad.com/2017/10/super-mario-odyssey-developer-interview/ ref])
*Miyamoto expressed that Nintendo is open to developing a third game (his comments suggest Nintendo continued to pursue design choices that would make 3D games less daunting to 2D-players, hence why SM3DL and SM3DW appeared they way they do, but of note, the author of this work aligns SMG with SM64 and SMS as a sprawling adventure-type game) ([https://www.eurogamer.net/super-mario-galaxy-3-opportunity-as-hardware-technology-gets-better-and-advances ref])
*Folks clearly missed the idea of having a 3D Mario game that felt like an adventure ([https://www.wired.com/2013/11/mario-3d-world/ ref])


Industry at large
====''Super Mario Bros. 3'' / ''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3''====
*Very few studios would attempt making platformers with spherical worlds (I recall some developer somewhere mentioning the technical difficulty with trying to do this)
*When a game does try this or attempts something comparable, it is often referred to as "Galaxy-styled" even though SMG was not the first platform game to attempt this design (Sonic Adventure 2, Ratchet & Clank, Yoshi's Island)
*Low-effort theme park-tie in clearly based on (maybe even directly stole from) Galaxy
*Both Sonic Colors (in a positive sense) and Sonic Lost World (in a negative sense) likened to Galaxy


[[Rosalina]] was proposed as a new playable character in the earliest phases of ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]'' during 2012, explicitly with the desire to replicate the {{wp|Game feel|feel}} of ''Super Mario Galaxy'' in her aerial movements.<ref>[[Masahiro Sakurai|Sakurai, Masahiro]].

Green Koopa Troopas, also rendered as Koopa Troopas (Green) and occassionally referred to as Green Koopas, are a variety of Koopa Troopa introduced alongside Red Koopa Troopas in the original Super Mario Bros. Unlike the red-shelled ones, Green Koopa Troopas walk straight off the edges of platforms without pause and are among the most recurring enemies in the games within which they appear. Green-shelled Koopa Troopas appear in isolation from their red counterparts in many of the spinoffs and a few of the mainline Super Mario games, in which their color is usually not specified within the accompanying text and media.

The unfastidious movements of Green Koopa Troopas parallels the behavior of Green Koopa Paratroopas, which become Green Koopas when stomped, and Green Shells in the Mario Kart series. Though originally quadrupedal, they have largely been depicted as bipedal turtles with green shells and matching boots from Super Mario World onward.
