Mario Forever Galaxy

About

Mario Forever Galaxy shifts the series into space with fixed shooter action. After Bowser relocates Peach to a distant planet, Mario joins forces with Luigi, Toad, and Samus to rescue her. Each character pilots a unique ship with distinct abilities, unlocking new weapons and upgrades as they progress. The game spans eight galaxies, each containing multiple stages and bosses, leading up to a showdown with Bowser's forces. Radically different from its platformer predecessor, this 2008 indie title leans into retro arcade vibes with wave-based combat and challenging boss fights. The variety of ships and power-ups keeps runs fresh, though limited post-launch support means the community remains small. A niche pick for fans of Galaxian-style action.
