Topic: The Unofficial Super Mario Galaxy 2 Thread

Seeing as Corbie hasn't answered, i'll ask my two questions here. I hated the purple coin missions in the forst one, so are there less in this one. How hard is it? ONM said that you'll struggle if you haven't completed the first one and I currently have 84 stars but I'm not sure how many I'll have by the time I get SMG2.

@diego: np, so long as we're cool :3

The best game of all time has landed. I repeat, the best game of all time has landed. Over and out.
_{i picked free shipping on amazon and i still only got it two days late! go amazon!}

@Odnetnin

I ordered it the same way and also picked free shipping, but the tracking currently doesn't seem to indicate that I'll be getting it today. That's for the better anyhow, as I wanted to at least come close to finishing Luigi's stars in the first game before beginning this one.

I must say that as a huge Mario Sunshine fan, I got a big kick out of the StarShine Beach Galaxy. Who knew we'd ever get to see Chucksters in a Mario game ever again!
One of the levels that I've been most impressed with so far is the Chompworks Factory place--there's some really interesting puzzle-solving type stuff going on there, and it struck me as being very unique for a Mario game.

I just got my 56th star, on to world six.

@Kid_A: I agree about the Chompworks Factory. That was a great level, and the puzzle solving stuff was pretty cool. I prefer the first star in that level, the second one is too short.

I've only done a couple purple coin challenges thus far, but they've felt much more balanced and fun than the first Galaxy game. But it really depends on your taste; I personally didn't mind the comets in the first Galaxy, so really enjoying the challenge this time around. However, there are much more of them in Galaxy 2, so if you absolutely despise them you might want to think twice. One thing that's interesting, though, is that the comets are sort of unlockable--each galaxy has a hidden "comet coin" within it. If you find it, you can play that Galaxy's comet challenge. It's a better set up, I think, and it makes the comets feel more like a reward and less like a forced hassle.

Yeah, surprisingly short, that second star. Although I will say it was much more challenging...a lot of that had to do with Spring Mario being fairly finicky. One thing I like is that the second star is often a more challenging variation of the first. Like the Fliptop Town (or whatever it's called). The first star involves the flipping gates, but the second one involves the drill. Same level, but you go about completing it in a very different way.

I am still on world one cough

...>_>
...How do you enter pipes? lol

I'm pushing "down" or whatever with the control stick, but nothing happens...and, um...yeah...this is that beginning tutorial. XD (just got the game)

@BellGoRiiing: I just step on the pipe and it takes me down.

My favorite NEW level (Nothing can top Throwback Galaxy for me) is probably the one with the Green and Yellow boxes. (I forget what it's called.)

Or I don't know. They're all so good.

..........That explains it...you don't enter the pipe on the tutorial. facepalm
Alright guys I'm outta here, gonna go zone out on this game, lol.

Currently on World 0, it's awesome! D:

Sadly I'm at world 6.

Ghost Rosalina appeared. ONCE.
I was hoping to run through the game without seeing her. Stupid rock mushroom.

what's the throwback galaxy? do you play as 8bit mario or something?

It's a rehash of the Whomp fortress in SM64

It's also the best galaxy, lol.

Only because I freaking love Super Mario 64.
