The final ever star in the game was incredibly tricky at first, until I worked out a methodology, then I did it in one go lol

 

You talking about Star number...

After having my Wii die on me after buying this on release day, I've finally been able to sit down and play this again, thanks to getting a sexy Black Wii (but damn those things attract finger prints and dust so much).

 

So, have gotten 27 stars and I'm up to World 3. Have gotten all of the stars I can get on each of the galaxies up to this point and I'll continue to do that until I get to the final encounter. Not hitting that part until I have as many stars as possible.

 

Must say, so satisfying freezing over the water in Cosmic Cove Galaxy. Really nicely done that bit. And is it just me or did anyone else get a weird Goonies vibe from the music in that level? I swear I've heard something similar to the music in that galaxy in the Goonies movie.

I don't get why people are knocking the music!?!? I think the music is far superior - the likes of Sky Station and Fluffy Bluff are epic orchestrated scores and I was thoroughly surprised by the Puzzleplank Galaxy theme.

Defeated Bowser on Sunday, and collected my 120th Star last night. A truly great gaming experience. Here are some thoughts that came to mind while playing :-

 

  • Worlds 1 - 4 were filled with fantastic Galaxies. They were all full of character, looked superb and the level design was faultless. Would happily play all these levels over and over again.

  • Worlds 5 + 6's Galaxies were a mixture in my opinion though as there were some really poor one's to be found (Fleet Galaxy, Slimy Spring and Battle Belt)and others which were good but short-lived (Shiverburn, Boo Moon, Slipsand and Flash Back).

  • All the Boss Battles were great, but I was a bit disappointed with the finale against Bowser as it wasn't as epic as the one in the first Galaxy game, and I was also hoping for some kind of New Super Mario Bros twist at the end.

  • Favourite Boss Battle was World 3's Mega Hammer. Firing those Bullet Bill's at Bowser Jr in that machine while on Yoshi's Back brought back some memories of Yoshi's Safari :grin:

  • Music was brilliant. Galaxy 1 has the best original tunes while Galaxy 2 has the best retro remixes

  • Cheated? Well, I had to use Google once, to find the Hidden Star on Honeybloom Galaxy :indeed: but I never used the Cosmic Spirit and found the difficult level to be fair. Some of the bosses' did take more than one attempt, as did quite a few of the tricky Comet Challenges.

Yeah, it sounds irish or something. That music for some reason makes me think of lumberjacks!

I'm loving this so far. So these green stars? Does that mean there are 120 "power stars" and 120 green stars? Or just one green star for each galaxy?

One for every power star. :D

Ahh that's cool then, effectively doubles the game...kinda . Every time I get a star I feel bad I'm 1/120th nearer to finishing the game ):

I entered World 6 earlier, but still haven't played any of its galaxies. The game just gets more and more amazing, just like the 1st one. It just never ceases to amaze, the amount of creativity is off the scale!

 

I dunno, I must have a soft spot for Desert Mario levels cause they're always amongst my favourite levels. From Shifting Sand Land in SM64 to Dusty Dune Galaxy in SMG1 and now Slipsand Galaxy in SMG2, all those are some of the best Mario levels ever, in my opinion.

 

Also, I loved Bowser's Gravity Gauntlet (end of World 4) because it was basically an old school Bowser level, in the spirit of the old X-4 worlds in the original SMB, except with a gravity twist. The only thing missing was the old school x-4 Bowser castle theme.

I FINALLY GOT THE FINAL STAR!!!

 

IMG_0378.jpg

 

Its took me two days of on and off playing to get this one star but its finally mine.

 

Those who wanted a challenge certainly got it with this last level as its hands down the hardest thing I have ever had to do in a Mario game. When I got to the final section my hands were sweating and my heart was racing but I managed to keep my cool and do it. Shame it took me like 50 odd lives to do but the feeling of finishing it was worth it.

 

*goes back to playing Monster Hunter 3*

Wow!

 

I'm on 112 stars. :grin:

 

I'm so impressed with myself. :heh:

 

I didn't think I'd get this far. I've got further in this than in Super Mario Galaxy now. :)

 

Good day for Coolness Bears.

I'm 88 stars in and haven't found this the least bit difficult yet. Sure, some levels required a few attempts and some of comets are tricky, but they aren't really difficult? But nevertheless, I like the game. I am a bit confused about the green stars you talk about but that must be something you get after completing the game. I am at the beginning of World 6 and have got every star up till then bar two - one hidden and one comet which both haven't appeared on my map yet.

 

I like the map as well and like ... I also find it tedious that I go to Spaceship Mario after each star, but I can live with that.

Well done HoT! :D and also a well done to those persevering with the game, keep going! it really is worth at least collecting the first 120 stars, such a rewarding game to play. :)

 

I'm hopefulyl gonna have another green star session in a little bit and I can't wait.

That's the exact feeling I got! It reminds me so much of the Goonies! And I think that it's set in caves only adds to that feeling.
