World 2 was pretty awesome. Even with how amazing the game started out, it's been getting exponentially better with each passing moment. Seriously, words cannot describe how awesome this game is and I hear it only gets better.

I've just played through world 1 and I think I can already safely say: GOTY. The sheer level of brilliance on display here is unparalleled. I also played the first level of world 2 and already my mind is reeling from the awesomeness. I can't wait to see what later levels and worlds will bring. As much as I love Mario Galaxy 1, I'm pretty confident Nintendo has already surpassed it, even this early on in the game I feel they've perfected this particualar series. What the hell will Nintendo do after this? Maybe a new franchise , because I can't see them making a new Mario that can top this.

I feel Galaxy 1 was the base and 2 is the extension. Galaxy 1 sets up a couple of important things that aren't completely explained in the sequel (Rosalina, Lumas, etc.) Not only that, Galaxy 1 is easier, so the transition between the games makes the ramp up in difficulty expected. If you do 2 before 1, you probably won't appreciate 1 as much because of its softer difficulty.

I honestly think this and RDR are the two best games that have come out in a long time. Because of that, I have NO social life any more:lol
I just don't know what they could do to top this that wouldn't still be considered a "Galaxy" game. There's no where to go now that he's gone into space!wRATH2x said:
Again.
Also, Mario 64-2 on DS would suck. I still hate that Yoshi's Island's sequel was on the DS instead of a console, a 64 exclusively on the DS would suck. Also, Wind Waker's direct sequels are on the WRONG FUCKING CONSOLE, NINTENDO! Fuck the DS! I want a Celda on the motherfucking Wii! And so does everyone else. But nooooo. The Wii is reserved for realism-Zelda. Fuck realism. But I digress...

I really liked how in one level (I don't remember which one) there's a column of fire spinning in the water as you swim through it. It almost sums up all of what Super Mario Galaxy 2 is, in a way. I also liked the amount of variety in this game in comparison to the first Galaxy. This game really feels like they threw in pretty much any decent idea someone came up with and then made it into a brilliant stage. The hub world is MUCH improved and also more charming. The power-ups were better utilized and the new ones are more inventive. The ideas that blew me away when I first saw them in Galaxy 1 are tossed around like its just some part of the level in Galaxy 2. The ONLY thing in Galaxy 2 that I think I liked better in Galaxy 1, thus far, is the final stage leading up to Bowser. It had a bit more of a grandiose feel in the first, I believe. But that stage in Galaxy 1 is also some of the finest 5 minutes of gaming to be found anywhere, on any system, from any generation. All in all, the only thing this year that I could possibly see ousting SMG2 for GOTY is Zelda Wii, but even that's pretty doubtful.
Props to nintendo for actually convincing me I had beaten Bowser during the 3rd fight. Usually I can sense when it just "feels" like the fight is over, but they really convinced me that I had beaten the game when I jumped to get the last grand star. I was thinking to myself "Well, that fight was a little improved over the last one in Galaxy 1, I suppose." And then Bowser lurched back up and grabbed the star back and I said "OH MY GOD SO MUCH BETTER!" I'm currently at 78 stars.

I have a question about the final "World":
In Special World there is one less Galaxy than in the other Worlds.........is there ever a Galaxy there? I have started getting the Green Stars and have read what you get for finishing with all 242....but it doesn't include a final Galaxy.
Biggest criticism right now: they introduce comets a little too late for my liking. They started appearing around star 30, and with my play style (like to fully complete each galaxy in order), it means I'm now having to go back and revisit all the same old galaxies. The comets for the first two worlds basically showed up at the same time. Overload. Wish comets would've been available around star 5 or 10.
Wasn't too keen on the first dozen or so green stars, but now that I'm approaching 140, they're starting to grow on me.
They've gone from "where the fuck are they?" stars to "I see you, but how the fuck do I get there? Cool!" stars. Man, this game keeps on delivering!

What are you guys' favorite levels so far? For me: Freezy Flake Galaxy, Throwback Galaxy, and Shiverburn Galaxy are all some favorites of the top of my head, although Throwback kind of earned its love the dirty, nostalgic way.
edit- I just realized there's a hungry Luma I never fed in World 3. Can't believe I bypassed an entire level. <3 Mario <3

Well I decided to just beat the game with 93 stars. I'll go after the rest over the weekend and next week.

so you would say galaxy 2 expands upon galaxy 1, and places that expansion into pack formAndrex said:

I finally made it to Throwback Galaxy after seeing everyone mention it. I knew it was a remake, but I didn't know what level it was.
I'm disappointed with which level they chose. I know why they picked the one they did
, but I wanted more.

(it matches the "small area floating in midair" style of all the galaxies)
I wanted Bob-omb Battlefield.

And just finished getting the very last star. Man, that last one was a pain.
Message board says it took me 32 hours. Awesome game, worth every second.

Yes, but personally, this is groan worthy. There's a reason I'm knocking out all the stars on each galaxy in one go, and it's not because I want to backtrack to world 1 when I'm in world 3 or 4.
I'd probably be less frustrated if the comets added something significant to the levels. So far it's mostly been "do this fast" or "watch out for 100 clone marios."

If by pack you mean like a pack of gum, yes. I guess what I'm trying to say is Galaxy 2 is bubblegum.

Meh, the complete lack of difficulty that makes it a little kids game is the reason for me.
Pretty colors & shiny graphics don't do it for me when everything is as easy as a tutorial.
