Super Mario Galaxy 2

A 3D platforming adventure where Mario travels through diverse galaxies to rescue Princess Peach, featuring gravity-defying mechanics and the assistance of Yoshi.

An experimental unofficial Mac port via NxNative has upstream-reported Mac testing. Testing on M4 Pro hardware covered the opening sequence, file selection by touch, and completion of the first storybook stage reaching the spin tutorial (approximately frame 11,000). Full game reliability is unverified. Known graphical issues include GX points and lines rendering as one-pixel effects due to untranslated geometry shaders. Requires Apple silicon and macOS 26.6 or later. Not an official Mac release.
