So, I just collected 120 stars. And
So is anything unlocked
I unlocked the green prankster comets. After hearing about 120 MORE stars, I was pretty excited. Not sure how I feel about the Green Stars just being placed around the levels, though. I guess it'll keep things fun, though.
So is anything unlocked
after you get 240 stars? =P
So, is EAD Tokyo essentially Iwata's answer to "what will Nintendo do once Miyamoto retires"?
About 37 stars in, and more to come when I have time this week. I will say that something felt "off" - either clunky or slow - about the controls during the first level or two, but then all was well. I think it might be a combination of coming to this after NSMBW (with faster movement) and having Mario start on a larger environment. Once I hit small planetoids, all was well.
Still waiting to see when the remix of
music appears.

It gets better than what you've seen in the first few, really it does. I made that mistake myself first night. Many are

your World S isn't complete?

The drill was his baby. Or, at least, the basic idea.
I just love this game so much, I can't believe Ninty did it again....the game is so awesome and it's a proof that hardware means nothing when it comes to creating amazing games - I can't stop thinking about getting back home and start playing this beauty again.
Also I can't stop listening to the Starship theme, it just makes me feel like I'm 12 years old again...<3.

I agree with every aspect of this post.
I woke up humming the Starship Mario theme--a really nice way to start the day. I just finished World 2 last night, and I can't wait to play some more!Like the hat?

so I assume there was nothing to that rumor of
(spoilered just in case)
a third playable character?
Is it possible Koji Kondo composed the Starship Mario theme? The classical elegance certainly fits Kondo's style, but I'm just not sure. We know he composed at least one song -- Sky Station Galaxy -- which is purebred Kondo, but if he did the hub music as well, then that would match the pattern of his Comet Observatory/Good Egg theme contributions to SMG1.

So far I've heard one song from SMG1 and thats
Freezeflame - Fire and Ice

Any others included?

Going by various sites and YouTube uploads there are about twenty 'direct' returns from SMG1's score, half of which are identical (Freezeflame, star select, etc, won't spoil them), the others are slightly upgraded (Honeybloom, Supermassive, Danger Ahead!, etc) whether with real instruments this time or slightly adjusted basslines, remix drums, etc etc.SuperAndroid17 said:
The problem with this is some people (such as those on the FFshrine site) are dismissing the score based on the number of returning pieces, without considering the sheer quantity of new material which totally outnumbers the repeats.

So no hub? (
Sadness.
I will kinda of miss the story in Galaxy one it wasn't intrusive at all and was only there if you wanted it to be. So guys worth a buy if you enjoyed the first one?

Read the thread, overwhelmingly yes.Christopher said:

It's like a "mini-hub". There are still things to do between levels, if you want to just jump around and goof off. Really I think it works out great because you don't have to spend time going from world to world. I don't really miss the story either..in fact I was actually trying to skip what text there was, as it's written as if everyone that's playing the game is in first grade. It's really basic basic stuff.
Question about "Banktoad"....Do your starbits gain interest while the game is turned off?

So I sit up half the night playing a marathon 5 hour session, got around 32 stars. I'm thinking the whole time, "this is what Mario Galaxy 1 should have been."
Then I realise, Mario Galaxy was game of the forever, as close to the perfect videogame as there had ever been. So for me to be somehow thinking Galaxy 2 is the "fixed" version is like realising the world is imploding or something.
Imagine a world where these guys somehow got to make every video game there ever was. We'd be in some serious trouble.

This... this game. THIS GAME. I just got the second star and already I've been blown away consistently. Actually scratch that. Not a moment has gone by in this game where I haven't been blown away. I don't even have three stars and... and wow. Those first two stars man. This game is crazy. So much imagination. Each and every little planetoid seems like it's been meticulously crafted to appeal right to the "holy motherfucking shit" part of the brain. I'm in awe. Galaxy 1 was my favorite game.
Maybe it's the "new game smell." I doubt it. My jaw would not close from the second I booted the game up to the moment I put the controller down to type this. There was seriously a moment where I had to put the controller down and just rearrange my brain. My mouth completely agape.
God damn. This game.

Yes ! I know what you mean.
I actually played Galaxy 1 last night after finishing the game with the 70 stars ending and hell, there really is a big, BIG gap between both. The original Galaxy felt clumsy and slow paced compared to Galaxy 2. I couldn't believe it !
One thing that struck me while in the
Throwback Galaxy
I think after 2 Galaxy games we're already acustomed to the new controls and we deserve some genuine hardcore challenge !

To those of you who placed an order with Amazon, did they happen to use USPS as their shipping carrier?
Absolutely loving this game though there have been a few small disappointments along the way:
1) The yoshi song is insanely annoying. I've never even come close to disliking a song in a mario game before, let alone hate. Even my girlfriend couldn't stand it (and she doesn't even care about things like that).
2) I want Yoshi's sound effects to be more pronounced, especially with the tongue and gulping.
3) Yoshi moves SLIGHTLY too fast and should take just a tiny bit longer to accelerate to full speed.
4) I don't like how the game opens up, story-wise. I don't expect a good story in mario games, just a simple one that kinda makes sense and doesn't offend. But this one just felt lazy/thrown together. And what's with the Luma's not knowing who mario is? And the luma's and toads not knowing who bowser is (calling him "monster")? It feels like it takes place in a parallel world (is it supposed to?).
All that aside, the gameplay, level design, visuals are flat out perfect. I *love* the design of the starship. The game is just pure fun. Great power-ups too!

I'm totally surprised people care or know such details. I was tapping the A button so I could actually get to the real game.
Is there any way to totally bypass the intro and get to the actual game?
