what do you get after 120 stars? Another world? Galaxy?

Supposedly, 120 more UNIQUE stars...

I noticed that. I believe having more coins increases the odds that a prankster comet will spawn, or increases the overall number of prankster comets that will spawn throughout the game. Or both.
I 242'ed SMG1, and I look forward to doing the same (or however many stars there are in total) with SMG2. But since the back-end isn't a carbon copy of the front-end, ala SMG1, I'll likely do it much faster. Perhaps even immediately. I got Mario's 120 coins when SMG1 first came out. Then last summer I revisited the game and got Luigi's 121 followed immediately by Mario's 121st. If the game manages to keep up the awesome, I'll probably go for every single SMG2 star in this run.
Then move on to NSMB Wii, which I've ignored since the day it came out. Surprising, considering how much of a pleasant surprise the DS game was to me.

Hey, I love my adventure games. Zelda? Ys? Yes please, can I have some more?
I just didn't appreciate 3D Mario's attempts at it all that much, especially considering how much better 3D Zelda did it not long afterwards.
That's why I enjoyed SMG1 so much. It was, up to that point, the closest we ever got to 2D Mario mechanics in a modern-looking 3D game. SMG2 takes it even further!

Okay, any advice for the
in world 5? I can't seem to get a pattern down.
second fireball crate game
The_Technomancer said:
Keep in mind that the fireball pierces and persists. One well-aimed shot can take out an entire horizontal row or vertical column of crates. From the starting position, I shot one straight ahead (don't touch the control stick) to take out the ones in the direct center. Then I proceeded to the very bottom of the screen, left-most crate, and shot straight up. Move right and shoot up. Move right and shoot up. Double-sets of crates can be taken out with one fireball in their direct center. Double-set columns/rows as well, obviously.
Cleared it on my second try with 4 seconds to spare. No sweat.

Is anyone playing this game in Dolphin? I haven't seen one 1080p screenie yet.

I don't think there's music when using Dolphin...so it's not worth it for me at least.Dacvak said:
Does this game remind anyone else of Pikmin 2? Specifically in the backgrounds department? In that game there were some wicked (
) backgrounds in the underground segments and the same applies here to several of the stages (the one that comes to mind the most is the
). Some of the backgrounds just don't make any sense but really give off a Pikmin 2 vibe which I <3
haha... wicked.
final Bowser stage, which just features huge pillars inside a castle in the background

My first attempt ended in miserable failure. I wasn't even close, and almost moved on.
Then I realized that the fireballs were piercing the crates through and through, and that they were laid out like a grid. I smiled when I saw, halfway through my second attempt, that this would be one of the easiest stars in the game!
With the right approach.

Yeah, I had the right idea, but I was trying to systematically take them out radially from the center, and it was hard to get the angles all right. Just going to the bottom and shooting right up was faaaaar easier.Mejilan said:My first attempt ended in miserable failure. I wasn't even close, and almost moved on.

Why would you do that?

Maybe I'll take some 1080p pics in Dolphin. Do I need to update it or something beforehand?
(But I need to turn off the game so that I could dump it... It'll be the first time I turn off the Wii since I got the game. :lol)
By the way, I hate scratching my face in the middle of Flip Swap galaxy.

Sorry, but I actually didn't find these to be too hard. All I can say is that, you'll get it eventually. Even the most difficult parts of this game, you'll complete it within 30 or so tries. :lolHK-47 said:

I avoided this thread before release because I didn't want any spoilers, so someone may have mentioned this.
My wife played last night while I was P2. She quit while she still had 14 lives left. Today, I get on my save and get a "mysterious letter" from mailtoad containing 14 1ups from the other save! Heh.
I have been trying to listen more closely to the music and it definitely grows on you. I can see myself listening to this OST just as much as SMG1. The Bowser Jr level music is awesome.

Flip switch is all about NOT using the mid-air spin as a jumping crutch.
It's literally better to take the death than give in to the temptation to spin.
You'll still die, but at least you'll train yourself to suppress the spin training, so to speak.
The slide one is actually pretty easy if you remember to use small motions with the control stick and recognize the areas where there are two simultaneous tracks of coins to get. One is almost always a single file of coins, the other dual-stacks. It's clear which you should be shooting for. Also, if you bork a jump, spinning CAN actually save you here, surprisingly.

Lol, I was dumping the game, and the name on the game stored on disk is "Super Mario Galaxy More". I guess that sums it up nicely.
He also nicely tells you when your Wii Remote batteries are running low. He worries that you'll be in a dangerous place when they die. Also, talk to him when you get 77 stars.
When it's really late/early in the morning, he also passive aggressivly insinuates that you should go t bed. But I don't wanna go to bed, purple thing!Buckethead said:

I am thinking that a big reason why I like this game better is the world map. Rosalina's ship was kinda annoying to me in the first game, and I didn't really feel like I could skip around levels so easily. To be fair, Sunshine also gave me that feeling.
However, with the world map, and every galaxy laid out in front of you, it's much easier to get done what you need to get done. The world map promotes jumping in levels more, I think.
If you defeat a hard galaxy, such as the
, he also congratulates you.

I hate the GameSpy's reviewer. Not because of the rating, I haven't played this game yet, but criticizing it for being to diificult... I can't imagine how it could possibly be remotely too difficult. I don't want reviewers to push for a laughable degree of difficulty.

Lol.. are people joking or what? Are there really 120 more stars after you get all the stars?
that seems too good to be true so i'm guessing it is

Tall Trunk is really about learning the course. Don't use too many sudden movements. Be Gentle. You only have to get 100 out of 140..so dont stress when you miss a few, just keep focusing. You'll get it eventually. I got 98, 97, several times even 99 once which was frustrating, but when I won I had 105.
Flip Swap is ALL about taking your time. Even though you are timed, you are given plenty to spare. I didnt rush it and I still had 40 seconds reaminging. The first 20 stars can be gotten pretty quickly using long jumps..but once you get to the Chomps..take your time. If you have to switch back and forth to avoid the Chomps do so. It just takes patience and practice...
