"The coolest segment of all is one completely divorced from the Mushroom Kingdom, occurring as the deep-space daredevil recaps his backstory for Peach and Toad."
"Unlike the rest of the Mario Galaxy Movie, this sequence wasn't just a hollow reference to something I knew from the games. It looked truly incredible and original."
