Topic: The Unofficial Super Mario Galaxy 2 Thread

We the people of Nintendo, in order to form a more perfect Mario . . .

Well, my copy finally arrived in the mail today, so if I get a chance to start into it tomorrow night, I can join the hyperbol-ating.

That was sarcasm, Pix. It's a new technique I'm trying out.

Huzzah for double sarcasm

I don't know how to get the comet medal in that level. The little bird at the beginning says to go through all 5 rings to get a comet medal, but I did that and I didn't get one. I'll give it another go tomorrow.

I just got done playing beat block in double time, and man is that a hard level! Easily the hardest I've encountered so far in the game (I'm 87 stars in). Good luck to everyone who tries this one. If you want a real challenge, go ahead and try to get it without Yoshi.

I feel like with each new Galaxy I reach there's something even more amazing than before. Is that a bit of an exageration? Yeah, probably. But each galaxy up this point (I'm in world 5) has offered something completely different, and every time it just feels incredible to play.

It's the second bird one where you fly in under a time limit. It's in the Lava base, and I can't get the Comet Medal.

Have fun with the rest of the game.

kind of weird but once you star off you might feel tiny bit bord for difficty reason(to easy) but soon it become 3billion time better then the first

LOL, thanks. I'm sure it gets much harder, but I got 242 stars in SMG 1, and I'm playing this one until I do the same, no matter how long it takes. HA

@Chrono I don't know if this helps: http://guides.ign.com/guides/14354736/page_95.html

The second gate is the hardest to get. You have to turn sharply to the left and do a full rotation pretty much.

what you have to do is get the 1-up there and IMMEDIATELY take a sharp left and slow down. Then you take a sharp dive to the left and you should see the gate. Then you go around the base until you see the opening (going slowly)

Continuing my (rather slow) playthrough, I'm up to 20 stars and the 3rd world. The Bowser level on world 2 was somewhat difficult, but Bowser himself was laughably easy, even with one slice of health. The only hard part there was when the Bowser statues shot lightning on the moving platform. I ended up being knocked off and started lava-bouncing the whole way, down to the one slice of health (it helps to have a life shroom). I quickly eradicated the Hammer Bros. and healed at Bowser's fight. So far, it seems easy enough, but then again, I'm only at world 3.

Just got to world 6, and it just keeps getting better. And I finally got to play the Throwback Galaxy. That was a lot of fun.

Honeybloom was one of the best platforming experiences I've ever had.

Green Stars are fun. Some really make you think about how to get them.

Is there only 6 worlds? Or is it 8 like the old Mario games? lol

Once again, you can't get all 120 stars before you beat it once.

Played a little way in now, and I'm having a great time, but I still have to reserve judgment for a bit longer about which is better, Galaxy 1 or 2. I can say that I much prefer the intro and opening level sequence of the first game, as well as the bigger hub world.

I like the Starship, maybe about the same as Rosalina's Ship, since you can get Yoshi and have alot of different characters there.

Yeah I did it. It was pretty easy.
