Super Mario Galaxy 2

Super Mario Galaxy 2 Review

This game has been getting rave reviews and, for a change, I can completely agree with the hype. The attention to detail in this game is incredible. The thought and design that went into almost every star is mind-blowing. The first SMG was probably the best game for the Wii, and SMG2 is significantly better than its amazing predecessor! Any negatives? Well, I preferred the music in the first SMG....and some of the early worlds are a bit easy for SMG veterans, although probably perfect for players new to the game. That's about it. The rest is an absolute joy to behold - as close to perfection as you're likely to see.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 Feature

• Skilled players will want to collect new Comet Metals, which will unlock harder levels with even more challenges
• Mario collects stars as he travels from galaxy to galaxy, sometimes upside-down, sometimes floating from place to place. Every level is new, but the game retains the charm, sense of wonder and beauty in line with Mario's history
• On some stages, Mario can find an egg, smash it open and hop onto the back of Yoshi. Yoshi can use his tongue to grab items and shoot them back at enemies, or to snag attach points and swing across chasms
• Yoshi has an interesting diet. When he eats a Dash Pepper, he gets so hot and frenzied he can run up steep inclines and vertical walls. When he eats a Blimp Fruit, he inflates like a balloon and floats to new heights
• New power-ups include a drill that Mario uses to tunnel through the planet's surface all the way to the other side of a planet

Super Mario Galaxy 2 Overview

Launch into a new universe of gravity warping worlds in the sequel to one of the greatest games of all time! Yoshi joins Mario as they traverse a wild variety of galaxies exploding with imagination, helping out our hero as he gulps enemies, runs at super speed, or inflates like a blimp to reach high cliff tops. Whether Mario’s leaping into orbit around tiny micro-planets, tumbling through rooms with constantly flip-flopping gravity, or drilling through craggy worlds to emerge on the other side, he’ll need new abilities and serious jumping skills to survive the all-new challenges ahead!

Worth every penny! - J. Campbell - Long Island, NY USA
This game is unbelievable on all accounts. The gameplay is innovative, smooth and you take advantage of every corner of screen with the 3-D capability. With the use of a second player you can take advantage of getting items no where near you, or defeating enemies. Plus there are over 240 levels if you unlock everything. Nintendo stays true to the series once again, you shouldn't have to buy another game for a while.

Super AWESOME galaxy 2 - -
This is by far straight to the point my FAVORITE game. Great controls, story line, and FABULOUS graphics. So far I can't think of any games with better graphics than this. The first day I got this I played for four hours straight. The second day I played for 7 and a half hours straight. The worlds are very original, and there's a surprise at every turn. If you are debating on getting this because you don't have enough money or anything like that, rack it up and buy it.

Another Mario Classic - L. Block - Wisconsin
Best Mario game since Mario 64! Yes, this game really is as good as people are saying. Just the right difficulty level - challenging, yet addictive and rewarding; every star an adventure in itself. Looks great, sounds great.......nothing bad here. I love some of the hilarious negative reviews here - people giving up after 30 mins because, frankly, they have no skillz =)
If you own a Wii you must own this game. Simple as that.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 Specifications

Super Mario Galaxy 2 is an action platformer for Wii that continues the space-based fun begun by the 2007 runaway hit Super Mario Galaxy. Featuring out-of-this-world platforming across a wide array of unique planets and space environments, players can go it alone as Mario or team up with his old buddy Yoshi as they platform and puzzle-solve to their hearts content. Additional key features include new and returning power-ups, special power-up abilities when teamed with Yoshi and the new drill mechanic that allows Mario burrow into and through planets. Team up with Yoshi for space-based platforming fun in Super Mario Galaxy 2. View larger. New Out-of-this-world Adventure Like its predecessor, Super Mario Galaxy 2 is an action platformer set in space. Platforming takes place between worlds, known as galaxies. Mario can move between smaller examples of these by jumping. He can also embark on longer jaunts via a small steerable planet in the shape of Mario's head, but as a new twist he can also move into and through planets as well using the new drill mechanism. This allows for both a new direction in action as well as an opening to problem-solving and coin collection. Players can expect the return of a variety of powerups from the original game including Bee and Boo Mushrooms, but also many that are new varieties including the Rock Mushroom that temporarily turns Mario into a rock that can smash through barriers. Another key change to gameplay is the ability for Mario to join with his pal Yoshi. Once Mario hatches Yoshi from his egg he can ride him through a variety of scenarios. Yoshi's particular reaction to specific powerups makes for fun with gravity. For example, when Yoshi eats a "Dash Pepper" he is able to move at hyper speed allowing the pair to literally run up the side of walls. Also, after eating a Blimp Fruit power-up Yoshi can swells up and floats like a blimp, taking Mario with him to areas of the game otherwise unreachable. Key Game Features Mario collects stars as he travels from galaxy to galaxy. Every level is new, but the game retains the charm, sense of wonder and beauty in line with Mario's history.
