Shino Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 Buoy Base Galaxy. Best one star Galaxy because of its EPIC music (It actually had a hidden green star as well) One of my favourites if only for the music, along with BattleRock and SpaceJunk. That's it, I'm playing it again.
DuD Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 I think the FreezeFlame Galaxy is a contender for my favourite galaxy, with 'Conquering the summit' one of my favourite stars. Toy Time Galaxy is also fantastic... anything that starts off with retro music and a train instantly gets my vote! I decided to get back into Galaxy tonight, and this is the exact point i'm at. It took me quite a while to get the triple jump down to even start the 'conquering the summit' star It also took me a fair bit to find the last two purple coins Toy Time Galaxy, does start out great. I've only done it's first star but i thought the level was well designed, and Spring Mario made an appearance (i quite like using the spring). Last thing i'm gonna say... I finally found the secret star on Dusty Dune Galaxy aswell. The number of times i've done that level trying to find an alternate route is beyond belief, then I just found it tonight by accident

The number of times i've done that level trying to find an alternate route is beyond belief, then I just found it tonight by accident I'm probably wrong, but I think I actually found the secret star for that one before I actually found the star I was meant to be working on. Haha. Just checked, I think I have got it right.
DuD Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 I took me forevarrrrrr I only noticed that the little planet was filling and emptying of sand because i took a phone call and didn't bother pausing the game. Then there it was kicking me in the balls.. "Helloooo"

Ronnie Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 Buoy Base was great. Can't pick a favourite galaxy though. Music wise, I love: Good Egg Galaxy (stunning), Gusty Garden, Buoy Base, Battlerock and the Bee galaxy. Megaleg's tune was also fantastic.
LostOverThere Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 Music wise, I love: Good Egg Galaxy (stunning), Gusty Garden, Buoy Base, Battlerock and the Bee galaxy. Finally, someone recognises how awesome the Gusty Garden music is. But then ruins it all by mentioning the horrible Bee music. That song just drills through my brain. >
Tphi Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 There's few games where I have wanted to play levels purely for the music, but I did many a time with Galaxy - especially in Battle Rock and Gusty Garden.
... Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 Finally, someone recognises how awesome the Gusty Garden music is. Finally? It's almost everyone's favourite track from the game!
LostOverThere Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 Sorry, no one was listing it so I got, well, self conscious.
Fierce_LiNk Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 Last night's session was interrupted by my brother bringing me home some fried chicken. On the one hand, I love chicken. On the other, I wish he could have arrived maybe an hour or so later. Still, I'd earned myself 2 stars before he arrived, so that's good. And tomorrow, I'll be going off to London and Brighton for 5 days, so I won't get a chance to play this. When I get back, I'm leaving again 2 days later. So...I've got tonight and two days worth of Galaxy Lovin' until January. Just when I'm at the peak of my enjoyment with eet.

You're free to do it really, just don't go and finish the game (I want to do that myself). =P

Gentleben Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 There's few games where I have wanted to play levels purely for the music, but I did many a time with Galaxy - especially in Battle Rock and Gusty Garden. Who are you? and where did you come from? I loved galaxy, can't wait for the second one. The music was great and every Galaxy was beautiful designed. how many people picked up the soundtrack?
Fused King Posted December 18, 2009 Posted December 18, 2009 how many people picked up the soundtrack? If by 'picked up' you mean 'dowloaded illegally' then yes
LostOverThere Posted December 19, 2009 Posted December 19, 2009 If by 'picked up' you mean 'dowloaded illegally' then yes Yeah...this. :I
DuD Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 Up to 97 stars now. I've just finished the purple coins from Toy Time Galaxy, which i reckon was one of the hardest stars to do so far. Might get some more in after MotD, though i'm in work for 9 so maybe not. Really glad you guys reminded meto get back into this
James McGeachie Posted January 2, 2010 Posted January 2, 2010 Just saw the supposed August release stuff on the first page and man...I really don't expect that to be true. I've always thought of this game as being this year's big Christmas hit. It just seems like Nintendo's style to do that. There isn't going to anything better for hardcore gamers at Christmas. They can't market Metroid: Other M as a big Christmas game as Metroid has only ever appealed to a pretty small number of people sadly. Zelda is definitely going to be a 2011 game so it can't be a Christmas title either. EDIT: Oh shit this is the Galaxy 1 thread. Damnit.
auntnadia2003 Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 thought this was more than a bit spooky. http://www.destructoid.com/letter-predicts-super-mario-galaxy-16-years-ahead-of-time-163664.phtml

I remember me and some friends talking about Mario and imaging that the next step, going from Super Mario Land to Super Mario World... was clearly space. Little did we know it was just gonna be Super Mario 64. Logical.

Grazza Posted February 17, 2010 Posted February 17, 2010 The other day I foolishly said I didn't really like this, but 14 Stars in and I love it, I genuinely do. Like many Wii games, it took me a long time to learn the gameplay/controls, but once the gameplay takes hold, it doesn't let go! I can't stop playing it. The music and graphics are brilliant, that goes without saying. It feels like I've stepped into a cartoon (a really good one.) The colour palette is amazingly gorgeous, pitch perfect, best I've ever seen. I'm particularly impressed by the motion controls. They are genuinely flawless, which surprised me for a pre-MotionPlus game. Mario really feels like a super hero, saving the Toads who are stuck in space, and taking on Bowser's scary and intimidating armada. I loved Mario 64 and Sunshine, but I didn't realise how little they really capture the Mario universe (Mario 64 is basically an experiment in 3D with Mario stuck on! Sunshine is more about the tropical theme.) In Galaxy, Bowser's vast army is rendered perfectly, with characters like Kamek and those octopus guys as part of the battleship's weaponry. There are loads of impressive changes in scale, such as when the giant robot appears. The thing that really made me say "whoa!" though, was the manta ray race. The way the water surges up really gave me my first "wow" moment of this gen. It's even better than Sunshine, and it's not just visual, it affects the gameplay.
