That's what I thought the comet was going to do to that level. When I first played that level I was nervous about how I was going to pass the last boss who is on fire. The time trial was really good though. It taught me how to quickly kill the rock-ghost boss. Before I used to keep my distance but then I discovered that the key to beating him fast is to stick really close so when he throws ghost rocks at you you can quickly hit him with them and his fists won't get in the way.fireside said:

Don't get too depressed. I got that screenshot, but by no means is it comfortably playable. I I get around 45fps.Feep said:
I don't think anybody is able to play Galaxy 2 on dolphin perfectly yet.
If I ever felt superior because I think Fluzzard controls like a dream and Spring Mario presents a delightful new way of getting around, I have been absolutely humbled at star 242. Goddamn have I been at this one a long time. Keep getting knocked out in the fourth segment.
...love it, by the way.
I think my daughter was getting a bit bored playing Co-Star though. :lol

Puzzle Plank's music is great. Same with Melty Monster.
50 stars in and I just defeated the 3rd World Boss. So far, awesome I thought the purple coins in the tree slide of doom were going to be a pain in the ass but I got the star after my third try with Luigi. I really like how Starship Mario becomes more lively the more you progress and the letters from Rosalina are a good touch too. Oh and I hate Rock Mario :lol

Only 23 stars in (trying to finish off Red Dead) but...
Game of the Year. All years.
Game of the Year. All years.
so i played the first level of the first world today and i thought it was a good start. this kid came up to the kiosk and i swear i was going to hand the controller off, but he just picked up a copy from the stack of games to the side and left with his grandma.
according to amazon, my copy is in transit and just arrived at somewhere today at 5:00.

Game get!
I'm so tempted to watch the DVD right now, but I know I should wait until I finish the game...
Already in world 4, and it's so awesome! Every stage is so fresh and original. My mom was having fun with the 2p too. The 2p pointer, chico carrying stuff and starpieces flying toward me all together at the same time can get quite distracting from time to time though.

Just got 120 stars.
jesus, there are like a million more stars to get now :lol
I got the first one on the first level, so am I to believe that all of them are just scattered around the levels hidden? and I guess if I get them all I'll unlock the final level of World S? There's room for one more level if I look on the zoomed out map. And if I beat that level I'll unlock Super Mario Galaxy 3?

so after getting all 120 stars you unlock the ability to collect 120 more stars then after that you unlock one final level which completely destroys the 240 star reward in the original. All of this is great and it's not like they can just keep giving you rewards because it eventually (unfortunately) has to end.
Yeah..it took me 71 stars, 12:36 minutes to finish the game..which is on par with most games this days and in many cases after those games end..they only give you alternate costumes and harder difficulty settings to play the same game..
Yet, this one..give you..more and more..after finishing it..so how's that disappointing? Because the game is not infinite?

I haven't gotten 120 yet(I am around 110) but I couldn't take it anymore and saw the final reward and it's way better than I could have asked for or guessed and if people think it's disappointing, their standards and respect for the developers is.

None of your spoilers are very gratifying but I guess you want some awesome non-game end sequence.
The only thing right now I could think of being better than the reward as it is is a playable Miyamoto.
Ok seriously fuck these prankster comets. The developers think of the stupidest, most frustrating thing for you to do an then make you do it. I have to kill 30 of these spiny assholes with shitty controls thanks to the rainbow star in a minute, when they are hiding in random nooks and crannies and run into the mud the second they see me? NO.

This. The same goes for Luigi
before you beat Bowser 3
Well, you got:George said:
For finishing the game the first time: New galaxies and playable Luigi at any time
For collecting the 120 stars: An extra set of 120 stars
For collecting those extra 120 stars: A new galaxy and 2 more stars

George said:
you do realize the grandmaster galaxy is this games equivalent to the horrible purple coin celebration galaxy you unlock in the original right? Plus you have 120 new hidden stars instead of just a second playthrough with luigi. Really this game rewards you more than any of the other 3D marios so I don't know how it's disappointing.
George said:
I think all those are fair requests. But i mean, there was a hell of a reward. And
the grand master galaxy kicks the pants off the celebration galaxy from SMB1 any day.
I have a question for you though, seeing as you've 100% completed it:
Did you go back and beat the final bowser battle again, on the off chance that it gives a slightly different end cinematic? or on the very off chance that it could unlock 2 additional green stars? Or did you basically get a message saying that you were 100% done?
EDIT: People really need to learn how to spoiler. Or at least preview =/

yes i went back and did bowser again, nothing changed in the ending, no other green stars, and no message saying that you %100.
the only changes are rosalina on the ship and your profile sparkles =/
edit: oh they also posted a 2nd message on the wii message board but i forgot to check it

Dan said:Seriously. A remake of Super Mario 64 with the Galaxy engine would be amazing
Or, like in this game, showcase how much better level design has become.
I still loved it though.

I'd prefer a remake of Galaxy in the Mario 64 engine.

Yeah to be honest I had more trouble with that one then the flip switch and tree slide. There is little room for error, you basically need a perfect run. It was really hard.Forkball said:
So anyway I'm at 50 stars and played a bit of world 4...all I have to say is that the game continues to impress me with it's Clever level
design and challenges. Some really great stuff
In this game.
It's not Mario galaxy 1.5...it's Mario galaxy on crack.
Oh and I had absolutely NO problem controlling the bird. If the controls don't work for you youre doing It
wrong. I finished both challenges on my first try. I know how to use spring Mario too. You guys fail at learning new tricks.

Let me just say that I think some people are missing the point about the Fluzzard flights. It's not that the controls are bad (because they aren't that bad), it's that those levels are extremely boring compared to anything else in the game. You glide at a slight angle, going through checkpoints.....It's pretty boring.

A couple of the prankster comets gave me headaches.
purple coins (got 4 extra with 14 sec to spare when I finally got it) and the cosmic clones one in
. FFFFFFFFF those

My five-year-old nephew bought this a week ago, so we've been playing through for the last week. And I know I'm chiming in late with this, but wow, what a really fucking awesome experience and I just love the classically good gameplay.
I'm also glad that games like this, SMG1, and SMBWii (which we've also beat earlier this year) is introducing Mario to an entirely new generation, similar to how I was with the NES games... And as someone stated earlier, some of those prankster comet runs are fucking infuriating, but maaaaan, beating them, after so many tries, just feels fucking good. :lol
Anyway, we made it to World Six over the last few days, and I finished up hunting for the last few stars after he left... so right now we're sitting at 70, and right at the end-game. Can't wait till we play tomorrow, so he can beat Bowser/finish this off, and then we can hunt for all those other stars!
