The Mario Galaxy games are masterpieces on basically every level but I do wanna point out specifically that they have some of the best skyboxes in gaming. Specifically the first game uses scale as its primary aesthetic motif so its use of these massive, almost surrealist surroundings in levels like Gateway, Dusty Dune, and Toy Time Galaxy reaaaaaally works to tie it all together.

Also also, the fact that Galaxy 1's first level has you surrounded by the vast, lonely expanse of space while Galaxy 2's takes place in a wide open sky filled with clouds is an INCREDIBLY interesting difference between the two games that really point to their divergent aesthetic and mechanical themes.
