Mario Galaxy's Missing Starship - Missing in Action
Ойындар
Welcome to Missing in Action, where we take a look back at game elements that have gone missing! And it's been quite some time since Starship Mario last made a brand new appearance! Have the Lumas taken Mario's faceship away? Join us as we shine a searchlight on this forgotten starship and explore its story, from Super Mario Galaxy 2 to several cameos, and compare it to the hub worlds of other 3D Mario games! #supermariogalaxy2 #nintendo #supermario

this feels like a weird one to question "why no return?" because it felt like a one game gimmick for how specific it was.

Yeah I agree, pretty much all of the hubs have been reduced to cameos and everyone's fine with that. It's not really missing.

There also hasn’t been (outside Sparks of Hope) a Mario game based around space where its use would make much sense.
Last Spotted at Super Nintendo World's Yoshi's Island Adventure ride in a small window. Nintendo seriously keeps neglecting Super Mario Galaxy 2

At least it's acknowledged at all there.
I always loved Starship Mario. I thought it was such a cool and unique hub. Seeing it develop and gain more residents as you progressed through the game was so satisfying, and I just loved the atmosphere. I would love to see it return some day. Let us never give up hope. Galaxy 2 still deserves to be brought back! Justice for SMG2!
The moon from Mario Odyssey would have been the perfect level to feature a small cameo from starship Mario.

Starship Mario was likely further out in the universe at the time.

Pauline went missing in action in 2015, but she had the best return of any character I know of, so she’s no longer missing
I’ll have you know that I hold Lubba near and dear to my heart and pray to see their appearance again
I’d like to see both the Comet Observatory, Starship Mario, and the Odyssey in the same game: the observatory can travel to different planets that the Odyssey can explore, as well as launch Mario to distant galaxy style levels, and Starship Mario can travel to nearby galaxy levels.

@@mariobroultimate1808 Well, Nintendo almost always likes to do something new with Mario.
It's in his garage with all his other vehicles over the years, like the big boot
I feel like Starship Mario has some missed potential. I like some of the ideas it has going for it like being a planetoid with gravity, connecting to a Starshroom with the Warp Pad, and recruiting characters from the galaxies you visit. Though the characters you recruit don't react to the new places you explore. They just offer the same advice over and over again. And Starship Mario could've been expanded to feel more like a home away from home. Those two empty rooms with the gambling lumas could easily be replaced with a bedroom or kitchen.
First Galaxy 2 not being on 3D All-Stars, now it turns out Starship Mario rarely appears in various Mario games?! Ok… NOW Nintendo really wants to pretend Galaxy 2 doesn’t exist.

They appeared in Super Mario Party and LEGO Mario. But yeah they rarely appear, they didn't even appear in Yoshi's Woolly World or Yoshi's Crafted World
I have always wondered what galaxies Mario would visit if Starship Mario went left instead of right. A tropical jungle galaxy, a magical clocktower, a Japanese zen garden, or the interior of a supermassive house? What about a M. C. Escher inspired galaxy with upside down stairs and vertical hallways?
This needs a return!!! I love Starship Mario!!
Sniffit and a lot I mean a lot of the enemies from yoshis island all have yet to return in a mainline Mario game
I’m sure there’ll be a reference in the next super Mario bros movie or a cameo
It Does fly in the background of the Mario Galaxy stage in Super Smash Bros games
Can't believe Nintendo skipped an HD port of SMG2
There is room & Possibility that we see a Super Mario Galaxy 2 Switch port/Remaster Announced/Shadow-dropped in the Summer/June Nintendo Direct in 1 & a Half Month,ever Thought about that?
Continuity between Mario games wouldn't be a bad idea. Like maybe Wart and/or Tatanga aren't dead, and you use FLUDD again somehow

The "Hub Worlds" are a big part of the Super Mario series. But Starship Mario is tied to Super Mario Galaxy 2 which is technically a Super Mario Galaxy game not a Super Mario game. Plus SMG2 doesn't play like the previous Super Mario games so that might suggest a difference in importance of Starship Mario.
Honestly... It feels like Nintendo doesn't want to acknowledge this game all that much. Maybe not less than 3D Land, but still
Where did Eggman Nega go?
As someone who grew up with Super Mario Galaxy 2 rather than smg1, this video makes me sad. :(
I love you, GameXplain ❤ Great video Tris! Love MIA videos 🤤
Subcon from Super Mario bros 2.
I was never a fan of starship Mario anyway. I would much rather have a hub world. Then a level select map.

They also probably don't want Mario to be seen as vain and full of ego needing his face stretched across everything
It flew outside of the observable universe.
Kinda crazy how you make a missing in action video based on Mario focusing on his shadow doppelgänger, only to make another one to talk about his head shaped hub world 2 weeks later. And I agree. I miss starship Mario. That’s a probably significant reason I enjoy the 2nd Mario galaxy over the first.
These MIA videos are very pointless when they are in relation to things to a very specific game (in this case Galaxy 1 & 2). Or the previous one about Shadow Mario, who’s just a Browser Jr. in disguise specifically in Sunshine. So come on guys…!
Never played any of the Galaxy games, but I might have to check them out sometime. Thanks for the vid!
May it and Lubba *never be seen again.* 😊
Hopes to see it in Mario Galaxy 3.

Probably a cameo like the Comet Observatory in the first.
The nostalgia hits hard on this one
while i don't miss it that much as it was a downgrade to the comet observatory/lubba especially to rosalina(wish her being playable had been a 100% reward for that brutal endgame.) do remember when starship mario was just going to be a planet mario went through in the trailer & do like alongside it's appearance in fortune street/super nintendo world and smash bros. if a future mario movie sequel had the bros. go into space(which i'm 100% with how it's inevitable rosalina will show up.)like if it was the starship mario being how they traveled with the bros. bantering about it's look.

Okay, so tell me. What would be the point of unlocking Rosalina as a playable character? I mean, you’ve finally 100%ed the game and for literally no reason Rosalina becomes a playable character. What’s the point of that? You’re not going to go back and play the game again just because you unlocked her. How would that work anyway? You can’t play as her because; 1. She wouldn’t have a move set yet, so Nintendo can’t think of any unique features 2. Rosalina is meant to have been kidnapped by Bowser in Bowser’s Galaxy Reactor (or Generator). You can’t have two Rosalina’s.
It did make cameos in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate background stage and a spirit
This, in my opinion, is a huge downgrade from the Comet Observatory.

Easy, he left it behind, Lumas are living on it. In addition, it is a sign that will show other who is Mario the savior. Those unfamiliar folks would probably assume Mario is a floating head. Ha!
I believe the Starship Mario will return when Super Mario Galaxy 2 is coming to Nintendo Switch as a Port/Remake if it's never happening. I hope Super Mario Galaxy 2 coming to Switch in someday. 😢❤

The title has a mistake in it. It should be "Mario Galaxy's Missing Starship" not "Mario's Galaxy's Missing Starship" 😂
A missing in action that I'm thankful with its disappearance. Massive downgrade from the Comet Observatory and the Odyssey essentially replaces it.

Oh, you mean the lamest and most egotistical game hub? Im good, thank you.
The starship was the reason I quit paying this game after a few levels. It was a terrible hub world and made the game feel more like 2d mario than 3d.
