I am new to the Wii, so excuse me if this is a nonsensical question. I got Super Mario Galaxy for Christmas, and I have just spent two hours of my life at the very beginning of the game. I can’t even get on the path toward the castle. I used the analog stick on the nunchuck to move, but I cannot direct Mario at all. In other words, Mario keeps running in a circle and I can’t get him to stop! What am I doing wrong? Help me! I’m cracking up!

Sounds like your controller needs to be re-calibrated. Simply disconnect the nunchuck from the remote and reconnect while making sure not to touch the stick. This has happened because the stick was not in the center position while connecting/loading.
If the nunchuk’s stick was off-center when you turned the game on, the game will think that off-center position is dead-center.
Unplug the nunchuk, and plug it back in, making sure that the stick is in a neutral position.
Also, familiarize yourself with the acronym “RTFM,” which stands for “Read The Fricking Manual.”
