No idea how so many people got 120 stars so quickly, nevermind 240.
Here's a hint for finding them that you may or may not know:
The Comet Coin for each galaxy is always found in the first level of that galaxy
Also, the second 120 go by pretty quickly, in my experience anyway.

That's too broad of a question. I think it's more reasonable merely to ask if it's better than the first game.Alucard said:
And I'm thinking that, even though it occasionally suffers from sequelitis, it's overall a tighter, more creative, and more challenging experience than the original Super Mario Galaxy. And, to many people Super Mario Galaxy was one of the best games of all time, and arguably the best Mario game or best Mario 3D Platformer of all time. It's not unreasonable to think of Galaxy 2 being better or worse than that, where it's much harder to say it's the greatest game of all time. I'm damn sure most folks could not seriously think of one single title as the greatest of all time without hours of deliberation and personal analysis.
Me too! I didn't even have trouble withzigg said:

I was sad that the last part was so short. Especially since the music that plays is the best one in the game and is much longer than it actually takes to beat him.Fimbulvetr said:

By 100% you mean 120 stars, yes?EzLink said:50% completed
Hope getting 100% has a worthwhile reward, though I'm sure it doesn't

Okay, just checkingEzLink said:
Really? I found 90% of the comet coins were right out in the open. I usually get them ony first playthrough of the galaxy..I'm only missing one at the moment (out of 85 stars) and that's because I flew over it!!!Magnus said:Have 89 stars and am starting to lose my patience looking for these Comet Coins.

:lol No, it doesn't.
I mean, the final galaxy is the real reward. The reward for 100% is not really worth anything. Do it for the satisfaction. It was great after finally getting the comet star for the final galaxy.

That might well be the most irritating one I've come across so far. I finally got it, though I feel like I might have cheated somewhat for it.
I used Luigi with a triple-jump plus spin and managed to barely snag it. I don't know if there's another way you're "supposed" to do it, but I assumed for a while that you had to get on top of the tox box somehow, which I just could not see myself pulling off.

This is undoubtedly my GOTY, but does anyone else wish more levels were designed like the castle/Bowser Jr./Bowser levels? That is to say, one continuous path without those star transporter things? I like the linearity of SMG/SMG2, but the star transporters or whatever are pointless to me (unless they're serving some purpose like hiding load times, in which case I rescind this post). I'd much rather be able to run continuously through a level without stopping to jump into a star every couple of minutes and watch some canned 2-3 second animation.

Finished it today with the bare minimum
stars. Decent game, but didn't blow me away. I don't have any desire to play the
, or get the stars I passed up. On to other games.

wait how are people having trouble getting

Are you just throwing them away or pretending this is a lightgun game or what.
9,999 star bits

No, I only used star bits on the occasional out-of-reach enemy or by accident when I try using Yoshi's tongue immediately after getting hit. I had around 7000 when I got the 241st star and I doubt I used more than 100 throughout the entire game. You probably just died a lot more often than any of us and acquired more star bits as a result, unless you go out of your way and obsessively kill every enemy and spin every glass thing to get as many star bits as possible or something.EmCeeGramr said:

isn't that what you just do naturallynincompoop said:
i mean it's freaking glowy candy bouncing around why DON'T you collect it
something is wrong with your mind
I can already tell that unless I suddenly start dying a lot in the final stretches here, there is going to be quite a bit of grinding in my future. I used up basically everything I had to unlock the last galaxy in my front 120 run, and even though I've been conscious of picking them up, I'm collecting mostEmCeeGramr said:

I do collect the stuff that's just bouncing around but why should I go out of my way to make more appear? The goal is to get the star at the end of the level and it doesn't make much sense to waste time doing anything that doesn't help lead you to that goal. Also I typically jump on enemies instead of spinning them whenever possible and I ignore the glass things unless they're holding a coin and I need health.EmCeeGramr said:

You've finished less than half the game and haven't even attempted many of the most challenging and creative missions. Quitting the game at this point would be akin to walking out on Titanic right after they hit the iceberg. "I got the gist of it. They were on a ship and now it's going to sink. Onto other movies."

I just got 240 Stars today, I'm now working on
.
Jesus Christ, it it surprisingly very difficult, I'm about to give it another go, then work on the 9999 star bits.
Oh, and
Grandmaster Galaxy

Nicktals said:That requirementis to unlock theof 9999 starbitsprankster comet for grandmaster galaxy, not the galaxy itself. So, after you beat the level and get the comet coin, make sure you have 9999 starbits IN THE BANK. And then...
Have fun!
Ah ok. I had enough to fill the bank so it wasn't an issue. Just beat
Grandmaster Galaxy. Only took me 5 or 6 tries and I actually made it through the entire hammer bros. section without getting hit thanks to reading about the ducking tip here. I have a feeling I'll be getting 242 tomorrow rather than tonight but I'm going to give it a shot.
Also, is there any point to beating the game again
after you get 242 stars or is it 100% pointless to do that?

I can deal with the hub of the first galaxy gone but take away all the flair???
No way, not in a 3D Mario.
