Super Mario Galaxy 2 climbed from a 97 to a 98 Metacritic score, a change that pushed the game into the third highest rated spot and reignited interest sixteen years after its release.

Others are framing the score bump as fuel for hopes of Super Mario Galaxy 3, while one post highlighted a physical Wii copy that someone joked will soon carry voice actor autographs.
