Sonic Playable in Super Mario Galaxy 2?

This would be interesting, but highly unlikely...

Link6694

I would love to see this

OH MAI GAWD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really do not believe this in any way. It would make the game feel too different. Unless there becomes video proof I can't and won't believe it.

no. just... no.

Well, I never thought I'd see him in Brawl but still....this seems awkward.

I cannot see this happening in Galaxy 2. Brawl is one thing, but having him in a main entry is another. I think someone let their April Fool's joke out early.

That just sounds silly.

But hey, they were RIGHT about Zelda TP going to Wii with Wiimote controls, so I won't doubt my fav magazine.

yeah right!

If we're doing crossovers, can we make it Simon Belmont instead of Sonic the Hedgehog? I mean, I can see it now...

Castlevania: Curse of the Demon Turtle

I'd put every penny of mine on this being false. I love both Mario and Sonic but this just sounds ridiculous and it'd actually put me off buying the game.

I don't believe this but I'd love to see it!

Hmmm...I don't know. I would like to see Mario in a Sonic game. Call me nuts, but I think Mario can play Sonic style. He's gotten into crazy situations before!

What the hell?

That's... pretty shocking. I'll be extremely surprised if it's true.

if this is true, AWESOME. If not, then somebody has made the biggest early April Fools Joke ever. How would it even work anyway? Sonic is about speed, and Mario is about precise platforming.

I REALLY REALLY hope this doesn't happen. This is ABSOLUTELY NOT the place for Sonic to show up. This has to be a joke.

My day just keeps getting worse.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!

i lol'ed

What a horrible idea, and one I feel confident must be nothing more than rumor. Why take a character from a series that has been an embarrassment throughout the 3D era and put him into the sequel to the game that reinvigorated the genre? Letting SEGA have the license for the Olympics games was bad enough.

Sure, because Nintendo is going to allow a different company's star character be a part of their main franchise. /sarcasm

Why Sonic? Because it would just make too much sense to add Fox McCloud as a playable character.

I want it now just for that Green Hill Galaxy Raylax mentioned.

Make it so, number one Nintendo!

No... Please no... you've got to be kidding me... this is not a good idea....

To be honest, I wouldn't mind Sonic appearing in this game. I'd much rather have Sega and Nintendo working together on an adventure actually designed for both characters together, but Sonic in this game isn't SUCH a bad idea, to me at least. It'll be interesting to see him riding Yoshi, at least; that's worth a shot I'd say!

The guys at Ngamer must've been smoking some pretty potent stuff...

Also, I agree with all those that have said Sonic doesn't belong in a Mario game...

/Checks date... nope, not April yet.

If Nintendo is allowing Sonic in a mariogame they are starting to go nuts, it's an extremely bad idea that I think Nintendo fans will quit staying loyal to their favourite consolemaker. Being innovative is one thing and is good when developers pushes their franschises into new challenging gaming ideas but an idea like this will destroy the mariogames completely.

Hmm... i'm thrown for a loop, but nope. Still loyal to Nintendo.

Ugh. I REALLY hope not. Or if they have to, at least give us the option to just play as Mario. Mario and Sonic are both great franchises, but combining them in a major Mario title just wouldn't work. Super Mario Galaxy 2 should remain just that: Super MARIO Galaxy.

@Raylax: "More teasing from our insider: Sonic levels will be in 'Green Hill Galaxy'. Matthew's nearly in tears (of despair)"

Latest tweet. If this is true, please shoot me.

If you told me Donkey Kong in Punch-Out! I'd have called you nuts too... but no, I don't think this is good for Nintendo... Probably wouldn't sell copies because of Sonic's inclusion... infact, might cost them sales.... PLUS... there's never been a good 3-d Sonic game... why would they start now?

It would be cool if it was a Sonic planet, like a Yoshi planet in the first game.

Green Hill Galaxy? I love you, Nintendo. >:3

Well, if the Sonic levels are limited to just one galaxy, then it isn't THAT bad. After all, you could just not play it.

What are you guys talking about?
You don't even know in what form or how you are going to be able to play as Sonic
and if the game's good, why would you boycott it only because Sonic appears in it?
I would love to see some areas of Sonic games implemented as a Galaxy in SMG2
Or maybe Mario gets a hedgehog suit that allows him to run fast
There are many possibilities and I can't wait to see what they made of it

@Damo

That's totally different. You just can't compare Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games with Super Mario Galaxy 2.

I don't see it. At all.

If it happens, somebody working on the game must have had a REALLY great idea to make it fun/interesting. The problem is that Sonic has been run into the ground as a franchise (4 hasn't saved him yet). It's fine to put him in a compilation game where there are many third rate characters or has beens because we think of them as they were not how they are now.

On the other hand, maybe they are having fun with a BUNCH of cameos in this one. Maybe even playable. That would help.

On the other hand --?-- it's just not going to happen.

(Woah my last post got crossposted like 5 times!)
"Green Hill Galaxy" ... I could probably go for that. It might be the first good Sonic experience in 3D evar!!!!

It will not happen believe me.There will be war if it does happen.Its just one of those fake rumours.

Again, what are your problems with Sonic Adventure 1 and 2? They are awesome and critically acclaimed
yes, they are 3D Sonic games

Sonic would also need a complete re-imagining in order to look half-decent in 3D, something he's never really been given. Look at how much Mario was changed in the transition to 3D, giving him a toddler-like movement and proportions along with a particular cartoonish style. Sonic's 3D models have all been horribly bland attempts to basically just render something like the old sprites. He's simply not up to the standards of a Mario Galaxy game, unless he were completely rethought from the ground up, and I can't see Nintendo being allowed to do that with him.

I'm with Raylax and Yosher on this one. I highly doubt it's true, but if it is it could be quite awesome.

@warioswoods ; Sonic used to be a lot fatter in the 2D games
I like his 3D look by the way

You know, if Mario's off visiting other "galaxies", then technically, it wouldnt be impossible for Sonic to pop up...

I think the tall, thin look fits to Sonic's speed and dynamic
but let's not get too off topic here

Please be fake.

Great. Just great. Now I've heard this, I'm going to be depressed when it doesn't happen.

Nope, it's a lie, cased close.

I have no reason to doubt NGamer. Without something like this to shake things up, Super Mario Galaxy 2 would just be more of the same but with slightly different levels.

Buh? Is Sega really this desperate to save Sonic?

Fair, his proportions looks a bit different, but I've never seen him looking well-designed enough in 3D to envision him running around in Galaxy. I'm very biased, though, because even before the gameplay, the very look of Sonic's 3D games from the Gamecube era was an instant turn-off for me. I just don't like their visual style at all, and don't see it as compatible. Actually, I pretty much hate the artwork and design behind all of the Sonic-related characters, and thought that they looked absurd in the Olympic games as well. That's just me, I suppose.

I have to say that I think every character beyond Sonic and Tails is just ridiculous

wtf... please not

to smash Sonic in Brawl is enough

Sonic in Mario Galaxy? If that is true, I don't think I am buying that game.

I'll believe it when I see it

Sonic and Mario need to be seprate . Not with this all this sonic and mario and mario and sonic . Except in mutiplayer games like party or brawl .

Almost as bad an idea as Darth Vader in Soul Caliber.

"Is Sega really this desperate to save Sonic?"
Exactly. Even moreso, doing this wouldn't save Sonic, it'd hurt Mario.

"Inside Source from Nintendo" usually means some guy off the street in my book. I'm not buying it til I see it.

I call bull. Just having Sonic in a stage in a Mario game isn't going to change a thing. And if it does, then that defeats the purpose of everything Nintendo stands for. End of story. Thank you. Good night.

...But it's noon.

Don't you start with me. >:3

Is this true?

Sonic sucks, he's a sellout.

I honestly wouldn't mind if Sonic was playable in Galaxy 2 but I really don't see it happening.

What would really have me foaming at the mouth would be an actual crossover game that incorporates each character's own gameplay styles as opposed to trying to fit one into the other's world.

I mean, maybe Eggman made a portal into the mushroom kingdom, bringing in his whole fleet and making an Alliance with Bowser. And Sonic (JUST Sonic) follows him through the portal and teams up with Mario to save little animals, Princess Peach, the Mushroom Kingdom, and find the Chaos Emeralds.

And at the end there will be a big battle with you as Super Sonic and Super Mario (haha, I made a funny!) fighting against Bowser's Castle merged with Eggman's flagship.

wow, I can't believe people now start bumblebeeing about how much Sonic sucks and that they are going to boycott the game

"Inside Source from Nintendo" usually means some guy off the street in my book.

NGamer is a respectable magazine though who does have contacts with Nintendo.

I don't buy it, but I'd love to see it happen.

And I call bull on all you guys saying "If he's in this i won't buy it." Yes you will, so shut up.

Well, Sega is certainly making an effort to try to bring Sonic back to his former glory. Sonic and Knuckles is finally coming to the VC, Sonic Classic Collection on the DS, Sonic 4 on WiiWare and now this(maybe). I wouldn't be too surprised if this actually does happen.

I certainly wouldn't boycott it under any circumstances, given how much I love Galaxy and am waiting for the sequel -- I might give a long sigh of disappointment when I reach these levels, though. That'll show 'em.

Please, God, don't let this happen.

screams faints dies

If I were a diehard Mario fanboy, this would have happened

Not gonna happen in a million years.

Like that Green Hill Galaxy idea, though.

This makes no sense. Unless Nintendo is buying SEGA.

If their source is so reliable why don't they post "the big exclusive news" on their website?

@retrobuttons - don't you know how news work? only a bunch of people knew it and one of them couldn't shut his mouth and told somebody else
if they tell us their source, their source is screwed

No. Just no. What's next - Mario as an exclusive character on the Wii version of Sonic 4?

I don't think Nintendo would let it happen.

@faildude

Nintendo has proven for many years they know how to keep a secret.

What kind of personal benefit does the source have for leaking?

What benefit would Nintendo have putting sonic in a Mario game?

Doesn't mario sell without sonic, for example mario kart, mario galaxy, NSMB?

I would love a Sonic and Mario platformer, but it doesn't make sense for Sonic to be tacked on in a sequel. That deserves it's own game.

@retrobuttons It is probably just to get people excited, still they want to pass it over as a rumor first
I know nothing has been proven yet but these strategies have been used for many years

@Faildude

We will see how wise you are with your simplistic industry filosofie when the game comes out.

guys, there's no point getting so riled up over a rumor. relax. :3

I would rather not have that!

But dragon, only 99% of rumors are false. This rumor can be one of the 1% that could be true

Okay, can we please stop freaking out about this? I mean, I would love this, but it's just a rumor. AND IT'S NOT THE END OF THE WORLD.

First Super Mario Galaxy, then Zelda, then Metroid, then....no....not Golden Sun

@retrobuttons these were just explanations to why they didn't post the source .
the DSi XL has also been announced and denied days before the official announcement

@Faildude@Post#45 I agree. Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 are great 3D Sonic games (and Sonic Unleashed's day levels are also great). These people claiming that Sonic's never been good in 3D don't know what they're talking about.

I highly doubt this is true, but if it is, I'll have to reconsider my decision not to get this game. That's right. I'm planning on NOT getting Galaxy 2 (hate the camera in the first game), but Sonic being a playable character could convince me to get it after all.

@Xkhaoz

Seems like your the one freeking out dude.

/me looks at retrobuttons with a mad look

@Rex: While that may be true, overall Sonic's 3D games have been below average compared to his 2D games

I hope Tails, Knuckles, Shadow, Amy, Big, Vector, Espio, Chippy, Metal Sonic, Rouge, Silver, Fang, Tikal, Chaos, Charmy, Mighty, Vanilla, Cream, Cheese, Eggman, Eggrobo, E-102 Gamma, E-123 Omega, Omochao, Professor Gerald, and the President are playable too.

I do hope you mean 'mad' as in 'crazy', khaoz, because you are freaking out unnecessarily.

@retrobuttons I forgot to add something to my post;
the DSi XL has also been announced and denied days before the official announcement - so much to your "Nintendo knows how to keep a secret" theory

Forget Sonic 4, I wanna play Sonic in this!

@retrobuttons/Xkhaoz
He was freaking out because of the freaking out. It's ok to freak if the freaking is over a freakish amount of freaking.
Who actually understood what I just said?

Filosofie?

Anyways, don't disobey the mods. Ease up people.

In the words of Hugh the pig: "Keep it real. Real chill." :3

Who's Sonic?

@104: Sonic is a chain of fast food restaurants

This just in from my "reliable" source: Doshin the Giant in the new Zelda!

@lz: so you're saying Mario will be managing his own fast-food place in SMG2? that doesn't sound so bad :3

Heck yeah!! I hope Rosalina brings me my food while wearing skates

@108

Now we're getting somewhere.

@#108: Oh hecks yeah! That and stereos that blare out old Mario tunes.

@retrobuttons don't you get it? NGamer is reliable, why would they post any information they didn't get from one of their reliable sources? - . -

and big the cat in a bikini on skates too, for the Sonic connection, hope Sonics in Zelda wii too

Wanna know something funny? They never said "Sonic the Hedgehog"

@faildude: whomever their source may be, they're only human, and they're not the official mouth of Sega if they're operating on terms of anonymity. until it's confirmed by Sega or Nintendo, this is all speculation and rumor at best. for all we knew, their 'trusted source' could be running a social experiment to see how many heart attacks they can induce in fanboys across the planet, so it makes no sense to get worked up over it at the moment. :3

I am going to see this is fake.

3D Sonic sucks balls.

Sonic, now with bloom lighting.

They hinted at this all along. Remember Good Egg galaxy?

How about...
Death Egg Galaxy.

Mario and Sonic should both stay in their own games. I don't mind the olympic games, but this is just bull****.

@theblackdragon why am I the one you are telling this?
I understand that it is likely not to be true but retrobuttons was acting like Ngamer went insane with who they chose as their sources so I just tried to explain the whole thing to him

Under no circumstance should Sonic be in Mario game. It just wouldn't feel right. And even if he does, he better be a secret character with no relevance to the story.

@faildude: you said "NGamer is reliable, why would they post any information they didn't get from one of their reliable sources?"... if you didn't mean that literally, then I do apologize for preaching to the choir, but it sounded like that was really what you were attempting to argue. :3

I would love a real Mario and Sonic platformer. But having Sonic in Super Mario Galaxy 2 doesn't sound right. But if he is, that would be awesome no doubt!

I'd love to see this happen, but there's almost no way this rumor's true.

Wanna know something funny? They never said "Sonic the Hedgehog"

But they did mention Green Hill Galaxy.

And make online multiplayer race, where you can sprint in every level. If not even co-op.

Whats with all the sonic news recently?!?

I don't see the problem if it's a cameo... he can appear in one of the stages. but "It'll be interesting to see him riding Yoshi, at least; that's worth a shot I'd say!" --> i'll be REALLY offended if Yoshi allows Sonic to ride on him... ugh.. Yoshi doesn't let just anyone ride on him.

Do not want. Though I can tolerate Sonic (no offense to fans) but I just.. ugh its Super MARIO Galaxy. But regardless it is simply a rumor right now.

At this point, I wouldn't be surprised either way.

I really hope this isn' true, it feels like a weird clash of franchises. Sure, in party-games it's great to have the mascots together, but in the next Mario game!? How would you feel if you were plodding through a dungeon in Zelda the suddenly Knuckles pops up out of the blue? Having said that, I can imagine it working more if it was maybe a Sonic planet, or a really short cameo of some sort.

@#131: That... would be awesome (is a big Knuckles fan).

I really like the divided opinions here...it's pretty much one extreme or the other. As for me, but me in the "I don't want to see this happen" camp, but I know that if it were true that Nintendo's staff will make it work really well. Galaxy 2 is in capable hands. The idea of a Hedgehog suit is not too far-fetched.

Instead of riding Yoshi, Sonic should hang on to either Tails or Knuckles as they fly or glide.

Sonic should be in the game. That way we can appreciate Mario more

First pics of a blue hedgehog in a Mario game.

Sonic would run off the edge all the time and get sucked in a black hole. Plus, if he got hurt, all your coins and Star Bits would fly everywhere.

Bass XO:

The Green Hill Galaxy idea was only posted as a comment, NGamer never mentioned this in their post.

If this is true and Sonic controls well, this may become one of my favourite games ever. I absolutely adored the first Mario Galaxy.

Dragoon does have a point

no

They said

More teasing from our insider: Sonic levels will be in 'Green Hill Galaxy'.

Makes me think that its not just an idea they had for the game. Funny how the first to report the news is accused of making it up. I look forward to further confirmation to see more peoples heads explode.

If it is true (doubtful), he should be an unlockable character like Luigi was.

Lol at some of these comments.

He'll probably make a cameo somewhere. Nintendo has been good to Sonic.

@#137: But... that's a porcupine. >:3

@irken004
Way better than Bioware or Sega themselfs.

@MrPinguy Quite right.

Hm... sounds like a fun deal.

I wonder if he could still run in zero gravity around the galaxies.....
He'd be like, hey Mario! You're too slow!

Or in a bizarre twist of my concoction, after winning a boss fight, Bowser suddenly appears and blasts Mario into deep space. Mario wakes up to see himself in Mobius with the wildlife staring at him.

I heard Bowser will be playable. And Olimar from Pikmin. And Ike from Fire Emblem. I heard they're renaming the game to "Super Smash Bros. Brawl".

Seriously why would Nintendo add sonic to one of their masterpieces?
It's illogical, Sonic doesn't fit the Mario (galaxy) world and Nintendo is selling Mario games like hot cakes without sonic in them. Sonic is right where he belongs in some spinoffs just to fill up the roster of playable characters.

Haha, it's not that far out, I mean Mario was running up ramps in the trailer. This could be the best 3D Sonic game ever

This can't be right 1.I'm sure there won't be Multiplayer in SMG2 2.Sonic can't swim in water 3.It won't be easy control Sonic at top speed & 4.Mario alway's get's the kiss from Princess Peach but I hope he come's to this game I would like to see him in action.

Probably a Cameo. Maybe you'll have to save Sonic from Robotnik like you saved Luigi in the first game.

The rumour territory is both sweet and cruel; perhaps Sonic will be a secret guest, like Yoshi in Super Mario 64. Still, I don't think this will happen...

@Bass_X0 Remember; personal experience. I'm not saying I don't trust the magazine/site, it's just that it's hard to believe that this is nothing more than some sort of "Twitter Early Reveal Fake-Out!" thing.

That'll NEVER happen....

Sounds like a big fail to me, but if Sega has nothing to do with the production of the game, I don't really care.

But I don't think random rumours like this should be newsposts though, especially that twitter blueberry.

You should put this article up on April 1st

Do. Not. Want.

PLEASEGODNO

Not entirely confident that it'll happen, but if it were to happen...

...fangasim...

XD

Sonic should've been in New Super Mario Bros. Wii instead
Prepares for massive hate comments

At first I was like eww, but now that I've thought about it, it could be quite good.

It could have the fun of SA1&2 (they weren't polished at all though)

and the polsih of SMG (which wasn't much fun, it just had some excellent presentation).

If this is for real, I'm not getting the game.

@Dragoon: Actually, I've been thinking for a while that a 2D crossover could be cool. The levels could be designed so that you can approach them differently depending on whether you play as Mario or Sonic. So while Mario might not be able to do spin attacks or get through loop-de-loops, he can go down pipes, use items like fire flowers and maybe even lift enemies like in SMB2.

As for Galaxy 2, I think it'd nice to see Nintendo show Sega how to make Sonic work in 3D. As long as it doesn't just feel like an update of the spheres game from Sonic & Knuckles.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
My opinion has been voiced

Quite honestly, I don't care if this is true or not. I will get a good laugh out of it if it is, though.

If this is true, than I am disappointed in Nintendo for accepting such a weak character from such a weak series into such a highly awaited and such amazing looking game. And I dont care if there were 5 good games made 20 years ago, Sonic has died and I highly doubt he will be revived.

during the 16 bit wars i preferred bonk over sonic. i would rather him make a comeback.

any chance mario could pop up in sonic 4?

hah, i highly doubt it

WHAT?!
NO!!!! SEGA CAN"T INFECT NINTENDO WITH BAD IDEAS! NO!!!

But this is highly doubtful.

Remember, this is only a rumor

Haha sure, that's got to be the most ridiculous rumour I've heard in awhile.

That would be...AMAZING! And it'll be the only good 3-D game Sonic will ever be in.

I was bored.

if it was true than that would be roses. what does sonic have anything to do with mario franchise? I hope this rumor is false.

No! This can't happen, Mario is fine the way it is! We don't need a blue hedgehog!
Then again, this IS a rumor, so who knows.

That would be kickavocado if there was even a vague chance that this was true. I mean c'mon! There isn't any chance that their source is even reliable.

checks watch Well its not April Fools Day... hmm...

I`m curious to see how this would work. Seeing as to who`s developing, i dont have any worries if they do decide to add Sonic. Regardless of whether this is true or false, i`ll still buy the game. I also think it`d be pretty wild, if done right.

WOW, so many comments and panic for a little tweeter rumour, LOL THIS is internet .

Honestly, I'm not trpubled, if it happens they may do it right, and no problem; if it doesn't happen... no problem .

The overreactions to this news are hilarious. IF it's true, I trust Nintendo to do it in a non-sucky way. If it's not, no harm done. Matter of fact, they provided amusement for those of us who actually waste our time reading through 184 comments.

No way! I don't believe it!
This is just wrong.
Also, we already have a high-velocity Yoshi in the game.

Sonic would probably ruin the game for me at least. Since he went 3D, he would probably run off edges.

Still, I would buy the game if Sonic's in it or not.

Wow, lots of comments already.
I can say with 99% certainty this wont happen.
For a moment I thought it would be cool, but then realised Mario and Sonic just don't go together in adventuring.

If this happens, Microsoft and Sony win.

@177.Aenaida: My god, that's the funniest thing I've seen all day. I'm saving that on my computer right now.

Another tweet saying there will be Sonic levels.

http://twitter.com/NGamer_mag/status/8685960016

How come this has more comments than Sonic 4?

Sonic and Mario games are very very different. I hope it doesn't screw up the Mario Galaxy 2 game (if true). Still, if it works, it would be good. I hope Sonic is a side, cameo character in this not a main one. For his sake and Mario's!

I could see a cameo, but to make him playable, you'd need to either make sonic play like mario (what's the point) or incorporate a whole new game engine. Seems like too much work. I wouldn't mind a cameo, but i'd be pretty pissed if Mario saves Sonic. The scars of the 16 bit console wars run deep Nintendo...be careful.

A true crossover would be cool though. Bottom line, I'm pretty doubtful he'll be in there at all.

Nintendo is going to produce a game with Sonic in it?
Nintendo Vs Sega => TKO Sega Loses.
I don't see this coming though.. We've been trolled by Ngamer.

@Dragoon: this rumor is drawing in the Mario fans as well as the Sonic fans, that's why. :3

This would be absurd. I'd prefer to see other great characters from Mario's universe who have never appeared in the plumber's major 3D platform series, such as Wario (excluding his appearance in SM64DS), Waluigi, Daisy or Donkey Kong.
However:

... and there's no place for hedgehogs!

This rumour is hard to believe, and even if it's true Nintendo will make sure that the quality of the game isn't compromised.
And the (possible) fact that Sonic enters there doesn't mean automatically that the game will lose quality.

Hmm...I don't know. At first, when i read this article, I was like "What...the flosswaffle?How can you ruin mario this way?" but then after a bit of thinking...I kind of like this idea. Super Mario Galaxy seems like a decent place for Sonic. It may be kind of cool. Hell, it is a rumor after all so it can be anything. Maybe there's some kind of hedgehog suit that looks like sonic and allows mario to go really fast lol. I don't think Sonic will be playable, though. I don't know...let's just wait for the release and whatever happens-happens.

lol "floss waffle" sorry NL that was my bad =0. To be honest, I don't really care if Sonic is in the game or not. Just have my favorite plumber in the game and I'm all good.

Weird!

I can see it now: Mario and Sonic team up to save Princess Peach and............well, Peach!

Noooo! I always took this as Mario's turf! I'd still buy it, but I wouldn't like it as much. I'm finding it hard to keep sticking to Nintendo. Leave SEGA out of this!

Although, this could be a simple test involving psychology. Look how many people started commenting on this. It's drawin' us in. Maybe they won't tell us the final verdict, and people'll want to buy it in the end to see if Sonic really is there, boosting sales of Super Mario Galaxy 2 immensely.You get my drift, people?

Regardless whether Sonic is in the game or not, SMG2 will still kick aardvark.

WOW, look at all those comments! I'm sure Sonic will be fun to play as in SMG2, but I highly doubt this rumor is true.

Like this'll ever happen. The best I see it is one of the galaxies being called Super Sonic Galaxy: the place the orange Yoshi was in the trailer.

man I love it fanboys get worked up. This is as good as getting the Heavy Rain Demo Today. Great day indeed!

In related news, Sonic 4 will actually be Doki Doki Panic with altered sprites.

Well Nintendo does seem to be getting a lot of rights to Sonic lately.

I wonder if this is true or not. I will still get the game ethierway

This is Nonsense! I do not remember the master creator wanting any other characters in different franchises to meet up with the exception of Smash Bros.

Utter Koopa-Crap! Nintendo's Headquarters is locked up tighter than Bowser's Castle when it comes to Galaxy 2 leaks. They released 10 screenshots and one video at E3 2009. I mean, come on! It's been 8 frikken months and absolutely nothing else besides speculation and rumours. Whomever created this Goombaloney is sitting behind a computer somewhere laughing at all the comotion this has caused. Maybe they'll put Sonic in the next Mario Kart, but Galaxy? Come on.....

Wait a minute! NintendoLife actually sourced this from twitter? I had more respect for this site Last I checked, "tweets" are not a reliable source of info.

What's interesting to me is that everyone cites how bad recent Sonic games have been. I take it none of you have faith that the developers behind Mario Galaxy could take the character and make something good with him? It's not like Sonic Team would be developing these rumored Sonic sections, y'know.

And hey, maybe Mario will meet everyone from Brawl in their own galaxy. I look forward to playing as Solid Snake in Big Shell Galaxy

TWO HUNDRED-SEVENTEENTH!

_{Sorry, carry on. But yeah... wow.}

That would be the worst Super Mario game EVER!

Hmm.......I've been thinking. Remember the Crazy Gadget level in SA2 and Sonic was all using those gravity switches to get from one floating block to another? If not, this was it: This was actually done pretty well, in my opinion. I'd imagine this would be sorta like that, only with WAY more epic music and more, well, Mario-like.

220th!

Jeez, I haven't seen a thread this huge since the SMRPG thread back in the VC-R days!

Bull.

Help! I tripped and fell and the next thing I knew I was at the bottom of a hole and 223 comments were stacked on top of me!

I hope this is a joke...

@223
Nice.
@225
It never occurred to me that animated GIFs were uploadable here for avatars. I suspect others also never thought of it. Let the floodgates open!

@Warioswoods. I never realized that either. There have been a couple people popping up lately that have animated icons. Wonder why no one ever tried using one before?

Maybe Nintendo can show SEGA how to make Sonic controls flawlessly in 3D.

Nah this will never happen! All though N-Games makes me laugh!
Sega should do a version of Mario 64!

Maybe Galaxy 2 will come out when Sonic 4 comes out (Wii-ware)

Why would Nintendo make the STUPIDEST MISTAKE they could POSSIBLY MAKE by not only risking the sales of Super Mario Galaxy 2, but also risking all the other upcoming Mario titles and even themselves (Nintendo) going out of business?!
If there's no more Mario, there's no more Nintendo. It's that simple. Why? Because Mario IS Nintendo!

why would nintendo make sonic on super mario Galaxy 2 he sucks on 3D i love sonic on 2D when i was a kid it's more fun on 2D then 3D
i hop sonic 4 will not make mistake i want 2D nononnononon 3D

I could see this happening, maybe. I'll still get the game anyway, I think...

Well, so much for that... I was hoping this would be true, though...
