I think something should be said about Mario Galaxy’s black holes.

The fact that they look similar in shape to what we would find out Black Holes to be decades later.

The fact they sound similar to the first recorded audio of a Black Hole that wouldn’t be until later.

There’s just something genuinely eerie about them that I don’t feel is discussed as much. People talk about Mario 64, personalization, and parallel universes. But Super Mario Galaxy 1 just has this sort of stuff much closer to the surface.

Concepts such as death are much more close to the surface in this game, especially with how brutally Mario can die. It does make you feel alone in the universe at times, which is something I miss from the sequel.

In Super Mario Galaxy, dialogue exists for Luigi during the "save Luigi" missions that is extremely unlikely to encounter by chance.

If Mario somehow manages to save Luigi but then falls into a black hole before collecting the Power Star, Luigi will mention that he heard a scream after Mario restarts the level and saves him again. Since the star spawns directly next to Luigi, the player would need to actively ignore it and do something else for this scenario to occur.
