I had hoped to be able to alleviate this issue on my own, without needing to bother any of you folks with my problems, but I really am sort of at ends, here.
I'm not one for Wiimotes, they just don't feel comfortable in my hands- a sort of disconnected feeling too difficult to grasp on a spacial level. So, learning that Dolphin supports mapping Wiimote controls to a sensible gamepad, I set about getting my copy of Super Mario Galaxy working on my PC.
Much to my dismay, however, anything beyond the title screen results in a dip to about 26 FPS on average, which slows the game to an intolerable level. Poking about the forums for two days led me to find that, by all accounts, I should be fine! Yet the problems persist, heedless to my tinkering.
I fear that my CPU might be bottlenecking the speed, which wouldn't be entirely unexpected, and simply fuel for an upgrade- but I want to be certain I haven't made some grievous error. I'll check back frequently to answer any questions posed that could contribute to the solution.
