Super Mario Galaxy is celebrating a milestone anniversary today. The game originally debuted on Wii ten years ago in Japan – November 1, 2007 – with the overseas release taking place a couple of weeks later.

Do you remember what it was like playing Super Mario Galaxy all of those years ago? Let us know!
