E3 Update: Super Mario Galaxy demo video (Part 1)

More moving-picture joy that’s decidedly cute (and a bit disconcerting) headed your way in this latest E3 demonstration video of the world-famous plumber’s latest adventure for Super Mario Galaxy.

One thing we immediately noticed in this video is how everything is so bright, vibrant, and smooth that you can’t help but stop and admire the beauty of the planet you’re currently romping through.

The camera is its usual flawless self, zooming in when Mario’s talking to NPCs and zooming out to center on Mario’s back when he’s moving. The textures are great, there’s virtually no slowdown despite the tons of things happening around Mario, and the scale of the world you’re in is just staggering (watch as the queen’s castle slowly drifts into view as Mario makes the last jump).

Sorry, Mario, but the Princess is in another castle? Try another galaxy!
