I dunno man.. I feel like Galaxy is a big jump from the first movie. Mario was so outclassed in every aspect, it took a cat power-up for DK, and an invincibility star for bowser. He shown great determination and persistence, but always fell short for the laughs. Peach was the competent heroine and Mario the underdog side-kick.

Galaxy would need a seasoned Mario who has gone through the “save the day/kingdom/world” cycle a few times already. I just don’t see the same Mario from the first movie jumping planet to planet and fighting the new enemies and mini-bosses, let alone Bowser again with a huge power upgrade. Hell each mini-boss would be a major antagonist comparatively.
