Super Mario Galaxy

I love the Ray Surfing. I did not honestly find it that hard.

Well its not that hard, its just not very fun in my opinion! I thought the same about the penguin slides in Mario 64. At least there's not too many of the levels. 🙂

Edit: Just unlocked the third observatory, 27 stars and 50 lives. This game is so generous with extra lives, its great! 🙂
 
With Ray Surfing and Monkey Ball levels it was really important where I sat in relation to the TV. You couldn't lay back and play those levels well...at least I couldn't. Once I got that down the levels were a breeze.

92 stars as Luigi. 😀

I think I'll give up once I get to the purple coins this time around...😛

Really? That sucks! I turned it off last night so will have lost all those extra lives. I got into the sixties by the time I thought I should hit the hay. 🙁 Ah well, at least they're easy to get.

Well according to the notice on my wii message board, 12 hours. However, I probably actually played for about six. I did loads of other things in the mean time and would just leave it. I don't game much these days but every now and then I'll play loads. I probably won't play again until tomorrow night now though and I haven't played today.

Arse. I rescued him and he helped me get a star but I didn't know you got to play with other characters. Is the game different with them? I was wondering actually how much replay this game could have.

Spoilers about Luigi, highlight to see.
When you get all 120 stars as Mario. You replay the last level, and then you can replay the game as Luigi. He can jump higher, but has less traction to the ground, making him harder to control.
 
I don't really think of Luigi as being a spoiler. It's not like there's that great a plot or anything. Nothing is spoilt really. In fact most of the online videos for levels show him and not Mario. If there was some point in the game where he died and then somehow came back as a playable character...that would be a spoiler. In the end at least people aren't saying what happens when you beat the game twice through 🙂

I finally picked up Super Mario Galaxy, i had been waiting to buy since I've been addicted to Guitar Hero 3 for the past few weeks. Thankfully i waited, Target had it on sale for only $37 today! I ran and grabbed it but probably won't open it for another week or so until i've beat GH3 competely 😉

yeah, I thought it was well known about Luigi... :\

You mean that he's only mario's brother in the same way a lot of young men have older 'uncles' 😉

Yeah the matching mustaches gave that away ages ago....... 😉

YMCA!

Is this in the Loopdeeloop Galaxy, if so there's only one star to get in that galaxy (i think). Once you've got the gold star at the end that's it complete. If you finish it again you get a clear star instead.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
 
Don't you have to do the first one in a certain amount of time? Been a while so I can't remember. Google a video maybe?

Paul
 
Any one got 121 stars yet? I have 120, but Don't really feel like going for that 121. So much time to invest.
 
120 STARS at last..Wooohooo 😀😀😀😀😀

Boy those purple comets are hard.

I just bought Zack & Wiki and its amazing.

Collected 7 parts of the golden pirate so far 😎..
 
Okay, I have only about 75 stars but I have rescued Peach. So.......
Why in the heck does Peach still send me letters telling me that she is in a far a-way place but she knows I am coming for her. I ALREADY CAME FOR HER!! What's up with that? Is she shacking back up with Bowser again, 'cause if that's the case he can have her. I'M FREAKING MARIO!! I can get any woman I want - I don't need her. I just need to flash my plumber's crack and I'm good to go with the ladies. I'm kinda hot for the Rosalinda chick anyway. Good riddance Peach.

Ps. I hate the purple comets as well. Tedious.
 
I think I'm officially the slowest player here...Of course when I bought it I was told by my wife that it and Zack & Wiki were to by my Xmas gifts so I didn't get to start playing until after Xmas. Then my time (limited as it is) was split between Z&W and SMG... still have to beat Metroid, but I'm only about 2 hours away from that one. Given that I only have about 1.5-2 hours to play at night at the sacrifice of sleep, SMG and Z&W are good games for then, other than the fact that both are extremely addicting so the short levels, while allowing for short playtime, turn into many levels played.

I'm at 95 stars, still haven't beat the game, I'm just collecting stars for now. I've only done the Gateway purple coins, but I've only got about half of the Dreadnaught and all of Melty Molten left.

If I never have to race the other Mario again I'll be happy... Swimming was a pain but it took until this thread to realize you can hold A... so I was ~90 stars in before I realized that...Now swimming is much easier.

Spring Mario is the spawn of Satan. I hate any mode where letting go of the control stick leaves you moving forever... if you eventually slow down and stop it's fine but you can't just stop to look around as spring Mario.

I haven't really had too much trouble with much else, provided I take my time. Daredevil Galaxies are tough but they usually leave you with a method of getting a 1-up or two so you can play them indefinitely. I have more difficulty with the Cosmic Comets.
 
Oh I hate Spring Mario levels. They really, really suck. Challenging and you can get some skill but really crappy all the same.

super Mario galaxy is quest through space to save Princess Peach from his arch-nemesis Bowser. Levels take the form of galaxies filled with a variety of planetoids and worlds while gameplay is updated with a variety of gravity effects and new power-ups.
