FOREWORD
___________________________________________________________________________________
There's no way to satisfactorily cover everything that has been presented so far for this game, and in truth I don't want to. For many, this game is going to be one discovery after another and as much as I can follow this rule I will. Yes, Mario isn't about story - it's about experiences. So let's try to spoiler tag every detail we can that isn't immediately obvious to those who like Mario.
So, this won't be my typically exhausting summary of everything related to the title... it'll have some good links for those who want it, and presumably fifty nine pages of everyone masturbating to the wonderment of Mario Galaxy.

WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Wikipedia said:Most of the game is set in outer space along a vast chain of miniature planetoids and other space matter. Mario is capable of jumping or launching from planet to planet in order to gather items and defeat enemies.[citation needed] Gravity plays a significant role in the game, as each planet has a gravitational force that prevents Mario from drifting off into space, which allows the player to effortlessly circumnavigate rounded objects. The varying degrees of gravity also have an effect on Mario's ability to jump, and is used to pull Mario towards certain planetoids while in mid-flight. Like previous 3D Mario games, the main objective is to collect Stars, which are awarded by completing tasks or defeating enemies. The game will have six themed areas, 40 galaxies, and 120 stars to collect. [6]
As in every 3D Mario game, Marios health consists of a power meter, which causes Mario to lose a life if it reaches zero. When the game starts, Mario begins with a power meter made of three sections. Mario has a second and separate health meter that designates his air supply when swimming underwater; if it is empty Mario will drown. The bottomless pits featured in previous Mario games which cause Mario to lose a life when fallen in have been replaced by black holes, which are stationed beneath the surfaces of certain planets and peppered throughout outside space.
