Haha, I thought there were just 120 stars in both games, and that almost half of them were coin collecting ones which usually ended up boring me. :lol

Sadly mistaken I guess.

There are about 15 purple coin missions (collect 100 purple coins in a level) that unlock after you beat the final boss, but everything else is unique.

Saw the GameTrailers review.

No hub world really is disappointing but ah what are you going to do? I'm half way through Alan Wake(awesome game) and I still have to find RDR somewhere, so I'll get this day 1 and if not a week later.

I'm quite sure I'll prefer the streamlined nature of this game. I do appreciate how the Mario spaceship (more like faceship!) essentially acts like a mini hub world of sorts, though. Players can run around on their ship between stages if they are so inclined and experiement with various power-ups, practice riding Yoshi, etc. I think it's a fantastic concept.

Those familiar with Bayonetta's final battle track... you know that absolutely fucking amazing part where the choir goes into apeshit mode? This has a very similar part.

Wow. People actually don't want to be spoiled by the soundtrack is quite amusing to me.
Can't wait to see their reactions when they find out that the real final boss is

It's totally acceptable to have that "holy crap this track is AWESOME" moment when I'm actually playing the game.

But i do agree that stuff in the MM9 thread was crazy.

Imagine that, me agreeing with you...

And to think I was afraid they would cheapen out and ditch the orchestrated soundtrack. :lol


This is like 10x more epic than the original SMG soundtrack
(although I still think Buoy Base is the best track overall)

Normally I would agree but after the horrible hub world in Galaxy I'm so glad they went with this level selection.

I usually like hub worlds in all games but there just wasn't any motivation to explore the world it felt like.

Of course you can spoil a Mario game. And I'm annoyed that part of it HAS been spoiled. Do you reliaze what my reaction would have been if I just clicked on a galaxy and I ended up
Gong to goddamn Super Mario 64
? I would have gone fucking nuts. Now, I'm excited as hell to play it, but that moment can no longer exist.

I've avoided the 120-star bonus, and will continue to do so assiduously for the next week or so.

Im also annoyed by that mentality of "you cant spoil a non-story game". bullshit. Im playing MH3 right now, and I love seeing each monster for the first time. Still dont know every monster and I wont spoil it for myself.

The reason these can't be spoiled is because everyone experiences them differently.

Just because you've seen something that exists doesn't mean you know how it feels to play it. Unless you disagree with Nintendo's entire philosophy of making games, in which case, I suppose seeing something is like playing it...or not.

Holy crap at the final boss battle music! It's a combination of
Super Mario Galaxy's final boss music and New Super Mario Bros. Wii's final boss battle music!

This is basically my perspective, but I haven't spoiled anything in this thread just in case. :lol

And still, seeing something for the first time is part of the enjoyment.

Yes, and I saw some things for the first time... just a little while ago. It was awesome. Playing through those parts should be amazing.

And yes, I kid.

nono, I´ve actually gotten used to that attitude, too. Whether I see it while playing or in a video, I still get enjoyment from it. I just think it´s silly and mean by people to decide for others what is spoiler-worthy and what not.

I pretty much default to, in Galaxy 2's case, expressions of unfettered joy and ecstasy. Seems safer than discussing why I feel the need to express them.

I just found a copy at K-Mart. But now I have to go play in a city league basketball game. I'll play some later tonight and post a few impressions of the latest installment in my favorite gaming franchise. =]

I am surprise how many people prefer Mario Galaxy 1 to be without its open world Hub and the lovely Little Prince story. Those are some of my favorite parts and more memorable parts of the game. Am I the only one here that think differently?

The hub world, while nice looking, was ultimately a waste of time.

The story, while not bad, had no place in a Mario game. Mario is all about the gameplay, not the story.

So can someone post with 100% certainty what the final OMG spoiler or whatever is? Not buying the game day one, and if/when I ever do I doubt I'll be getting all 120 stars.

No. The hub was great.

But either way, like the story of SMG1, the hub world is optional here.

Although it uses a map, you can explore Spaceship Mario as if it was a hub.

So, my mate has this game.

He lives (like me) in the UK. He's been playing it all day, the pirating bastard. I have to wait until the UK release date (by my own moral choice).

Goddamnit. Temptation to go round his and play it rising, but I shall not give in. I will wait two weeks if it kills me.

Feep, that's exactly how I feel. Ah well, though. I'm sure there will still be plenty of magical moments.
