Posted December 16, 2009 Ice Mario does rock my world. There's just so much genius behind the game. The whole package is beautiful. Up to 65 stars now and still going. I thought Bonefin's Galaxy, with that "boss fight" against King Fin was excellent. I was humming the Jaws theme whilst doing that. That, and the Matter Splatter Galaxy.

Posted December 16, 2009 I'm having a hard time picking a favourite galaxy, all have great moments. And all this talk is making me wanna play it again, maybe create another save and get another 242 stars. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 16, 2009 I don't know if I have a favourite galaxy, don't really remember them too well heh. I just picked it up again and collected a few stars. I now have 75 of them. I barely seem to have any of the comet stars, but I fail at those anyway (not good at these sort of timed challenges and stuff). I also need to find another green Luma somewhere to open a door, hmm... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 16, 2009 Ice Mario was cool, but I think my favourite power up was Fire Mario, simply for nostalgic reasons. It was the first time we had Fire Mario in 3D. It was just a shame that it was a timed power up and the music was annoying. But definitely keep Fire Mario in ALL future 3D (and 2D) Mario platformers, it's just classic. As for favourite galaxies, the Desert one is way up there, and the Melty Molten Galaxy also, both for the galaxy itself and also the excelent music. A great thing about SMG is that it had so many one star galaxies, which made the game so much more varied than its predecessors. I never counted but it probably has more levels than SM64 and SMS put together. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
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) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Haha. Just checked, I think I have got it right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
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" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
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. > Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're free to do it really, just don't go and finish the game (I want to do that myself). =P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
