Haven't yet heard that particular song, but I promise to return and provide my thoughts as soon as I reach it. Shouldn't be too much longer.SpacePirate Ridley said:But may I ask, its there a rendition of the SMW castle theme in orchestra?, if it appears im just thinking it will be in the last bowser galaxy, but if you hear it any moment, just give here the good news!
Kard8p3,
Just about to reach that point I believe. I will let you know.
I wish. You are going to love the Fluffy Bluff Galaxy theme, though I know you have already heard it in some fashion via off-screen camera.Miau said:

I'll be sure to troll this thread for replies and hopefully answer more of your Q's until that point in time. I may even be doing yet another impressions article at, say, 50 stars if you guys would enjoy that.
Oh--and thanks for reading everyone! It means a lot.

Holy mother fucking shit! Deja-vu!
Just beautiful!
Oh my god the music.
So maybe this is not the final special galaxy, or if it is there are more
, so Nintendo doesnt consider it a spoiler.

Mario retro stages from other games
Wow I just realized about the 120 completion secret
This game is a lot like Super Mario World. Besides Yoshi's stuff, music and all that, if you get the super secret green stars (Star World in SMW) you can get to a "Special" extra galaxy. You even get to that spinning from a star in SMW too :lol

I noticed that Super Mario Galaxy 2 is a lot more challenging that the first. The World 2 boss Galaxy was about as difficult as the final level of Super Mario Galaxy, perhaps even harder at some points. It takes quite a while to get up to Bowser and once you face him he certainly isn't a pushover. He punches at the small planet you're walking on and two meteorites fly up, you have to jump on the meteors and butt stomp them towards Bowser. It takes quite a steady aim and you only have a split second to carry out this move. The other bosses in the game are more challenging than pretty much any boss in Super Mario Galaxy. For starters they take about 6 hits before they go down and the Dragon Boss we've seen on many screenhots had some cool tricks up his sleeve. Overall the game impressed me more than I expected and I was freaking hyped for this. As I'm typing this I wan't to go back to Nintendo and play some more. :lol
Also that slide in Tall Trunk Galaxy was goooooooood

God, SMG is my favourite game ever and for what I'm reading this is even better? WHAT THE FUCK, NINTENDO? How do they do it???!!
One thing I noticed about Super Mario Galaxy 2 is that there are less planetoids now. There's more platforms, Mario 64 like environnments with pure platforming and some galaxies feel more like the secret stages from Super Mario Sunshine. The gravity feature still plays a big part in the game but there are less: "Look you can run around planets!" moments.
Also, remember the
Jungle beat
it's in the game.. oh god its there....

Gusty Garden music is in SMFG2, right? Music is so on point for every other trailer/level I've seen.
Either way, it's going to be my single player GOTF
Sunday can't come soon enough.

I've not seen anything recycled apart from a couple of goomba's or power-ups.Empty said:
Also, the garbage bombs are gone but you now have to destroy boxes with the fire flower.
I did see fluffy animals but sadly no fluffy grassShiggy said:
The texture work is improved and the new models seem to have more polygons.

Has it been mentioned here if that supplemental DVD thing comes with the US version of the game? If so is it basically throwaway material if youve ever played Mario Galaxy 1?
You shouldn't be dissapointed, there's still plenty of planetoids to go around, but the areas are only planetoids if it's necessary to use the gravity for puzzles or platforming. Not to mention that it adds more variety to the game and one planetoid area was like...EatChildren said:
A miniature galaxy/milky way of spinning rocks/planetoids that you had to climb, so awesome. Not to mention that planetoids are mixed with the drills and such for even more gravitational fun.

Is there a review thread? Famitsu, Edge, GI, and ONM have all reviewed it.
Empty said:
90% new stuff was an answer to how much assets from the original game that couldn't make it will make it in the sequel.
10% cut content from Mario Galaxy, which already existed before they started making SMG2.
And the 90% new stuff they added on top of that while making SMG2.
The percentages can't really be that accurate though. He probably just said it on the spot.

I've actually been wondering this: for those who've played, does the "Super Mario Galaxy 2 theme" (the one they've been using in the commercials and whatnot) still include the Gusty Garden part like it did in the E3 '09 trailer?

Not in that particular galaxy it doesn't, but the Gusty Garden theme is all over the game, so don't worry about that.Rash said:

I've realised my mistake. I confused the boss with the drill from the Galaxy 2 trailer with megaleg from Galaxy 1, then put that with the 90/10 thing and assumed we would have some recycled levels with new items, and never managed to correct that perception in the year since the game was announced because i've been avoiding previews etc. Stupid me.
holy shit, though. game of the forever status confirmed again in my mind.

New gameplay showing some Ghost Levels and a bowser castle level, including a bowser boss (same one on GTTV a while back as far as I can see) and the AMAZING orchestrated Mario 64 castle theme (Koopa Road) http://j.mp/c3hR4b
