Got 60 stars last night and did the final boss.

 

Great ending movie, but I'd have thought there'd be some proper resolution as to who Rosalina is? I remember hearing she was originally going to be related to Peach? I thought that she'd end up being Peach from a different dimension or something. Hmm.

I hope its ok to bump this topic but this amazing game is 10 years old today: Not sure where the time went, it doesn't feel like 10 years at all to me but I plan to replay this game again to

Yeah if they ever did a HD port of this game and its sequel I guess they'd have to. They could map the spin attack to a button but I'm not sure how they could handle the pointer controls for shooting

Just seen the Secrets Feature over on GT, never knew you could get a speed boost at the start of the Cosmic Races. This little trick is going to help me in my 2nd playthrough as I think the races are slightly harder when using..[spoiler=]Luigi

The complete ending and the tales can help to understand.

Rosalina seems to come from Mario's planet and come back every 100 years to see her homeworld again, seeing the way she look at it. And I think she's related to Mario's family in a way since, in her tale, she talk about his father having a beautiful mustache. This kind of detail can't be innocent.:heh:

Ratchet and Clank games are simply awesome and your right they do kinda focus on the weapons but thats what makes them a joy to play. I have said it before the Ratchet and Clank games on the PS2 were far more fun than Mario Sunshine.

 

Aye, not bashing them as I loved them all. And Captain Quark was just brilliant. :)

And those 2D stages and "globe" levels do indeed remind me of Galaxy. Great, great games though. :) Mario was always better to control though. Tighter.

Ratchet and Clank is basically Banjo Kazooie and Jet Force Gemini merged. And you can't get better than that :p

I think Ratchet and Clank games are good, I did really enjoy the first one and they had great humour to them. Thing was, after the first one the second was out a year later. I played it, and was like, haven't I done this before? Then the third came out and it was overkill, there was no differentiation between the gameplay like Mario platformers have held and it really just got repetitive.

 

I've not played the new one but from what I've heard it's just the PS2 games in a shinyer lick of paint. Exactly the same Gameplay, so I guess for me it'd just feel bland by now.

 

And er, Mario Galaxy sales are going great. Traditionally Mario games sell over a long period of time, Sunshine was selling a decent amount in the weeks 3 or 4 years after the GameCube had been released, and Galaxy will be the same. It'll easily outsell AC by the end of it's life and be challenging to hit 10 million +. Galaxy is currently outselling AC now anyway, by a total of 70k units worldwide :P.

Can I just point out that (according to VG Chartz) Mario Galaxy has sold 2.3 millions copies.

 

AC: 360 = 1.33 milion

PS3 = 0.8 million

 

So Mario HAS sold more, and is higher in every chart, so will sell even more!!! It's just Britain that's stupid and taken in by advertising!

It's funny you should say that, because I'm playing through it at the moment, and that's exactly the way I feel about the game. :sad:

Sounds good as thats what I was looking for in the new Ratchet and Clank as the previous games gameplay was perfect for me. I can see where you guys are coming from though.

 

I have just had a 2 hour stint on Mario Galaxy and now im on 88 Stars ( 2nd playthough using the secret dude )

 

Just to bring up the comparison between Ratchet and Mario games again I was thinking about how well Insomniac and Naughty Dog ( with Jak 1 ) done a great job of getting a story going in a platform game. They used great voice actors aswell as having a great amount of humour. I wonder if Mario could benifit from these things in the future.

 

I know alot of people say that Mario doesnt need a story etc and to be fair they are right but seeing what a well written storyline and some good punchlines does for a game I cant help but want it the next Mario. Its much like the whole voice acting thing in Zelda that was debated last year when TP came out.

I played the new ratchet, I love the series more than mario, but when I played it I felt dissapointed. It was missing something, no idea what, just something didn't feel right. :(

 

Anyhoo, I've complete galaxy now, now I need all the stars!

I really don't get it to be honest. I loved the first R&C game, and I don't mind a game being unoriginal and doing the same thing as before. So I should be loving Tools Of Destruction. But I'm not. :confused:

This week's charts. Galaxy places at 13th on the all console all versions charts, while Mario and Sonic manages to beat Need for Speed for Christmas number 1....and it's basically just the Wii version alone.

 

AWESOME! Thats a hell of a jump from 7 to 1. Whats the last week before it officially becomes Christmas number 1 or was that the last week?

It's officially Christmas number one.

 

Good stuff! Thats a nice big middle finger to EA and the boys racer franchise right there. I wonder what Gamecentral say about this on teletxt as they also hate how NFS gets Christmas number 1 year in and year out.

Thats great news! Looking forward to seeing the figures behind this tomorrow. Doubtful M&S will be Christmas No. 1 though.

 

The Christmas Chart, and hence Christmas number 1 isn't being announced until after Christmas.

Just need 15 more Stars ( all the purple coin ones ) then I can finally get the last secret Star with you know who :)

 

I must say im finding it a hell of alot easier playing with the unlockable one rather than Mario. His ability to jump higer has made the game easier for me as I can take many a shortcut.

 

Shame that I have nearly finished it...again. At least I can move on to a different game now though.

Can you collect all 120 stars before the final fight, or does it force to do the final boss before you can get the last few? I just got my 102nd star, and it looks that way.

Man it is taking me an absolute age to do the daredevil comet on the melty molten lava level. I've tried over 30 times yet I'm addicted to cracking it. I can get to the final run up the mountain pretty much everytime now...But I keep dying there. Solid. But it's so, so wonderful. Wonderful level design. Less is more and all that :)

 

Oh, and I feel a special mention has to go to the innovative use of using a certain powerup to do wall jumps up waterfalls. PURE Genius.

 

And the whole secret star sections feel so much like the star road on Mario World at times. Using existing levels in differing ways to find new stars. It feels suitably, excellently retro. Moreso than Mario 64/Sunshine acheived. Actually; I can barely recollect hidden shines in Sunshine. Maybe one on the beach near the lighthouse, under the sand. But some of these extra stars are etched forever ala mario64! :)

 

QUESTION:

 

Do you have to move the comets BACK, EVERYTIME you complete one of their stars? Don't really get how this feature works. I end up getting a star, talking to purple guy then getting comets, and rinse and repeat. Seems silly.

The comets just appeared for me I never had to talk to the purple guy at all.

 

I managed to get all 121 Stars with both Mario and the other dude the other day, its great what gets sent to your Wii when you do this.
