When some creature escapes into space with Princess Peach, Mario gives chase, exploring bizarre planets all across the galaxy.

Players run, jump and battle enemies as they explore all the planets in the galaxy. Since this game makes full use of all the features of the Wii Remote, players have to do all kinds of things to succeed: pressing buttons, swinging the Wii Remote and the Nunchuk, and even pointing at and dragging things with the pointer.

Since hes in space, Mario can perform mindbending jumps unlike anything hes done before. Hell also have a wealth of new moves that are all based around tilting, pointing and shaking the Wii Remote.
