Kraser Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 Well, if it is.. it's really just a tad. I mean, the game is just brilliant. Each "world" has a great artwork design. Not to mention that is the best looking wii game to date, and it really pushes the gameplay to a next level. Oh well, not to the next level (yes, it's a bit overreacted)... still, it's a great deal to play it. At least, that's what i feel.
Falcon_BlizZACK Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 Its worth buying above most Wii games but I think its a tad over-rated. Its FUN. thats all that matters. From getting those star bits, to the way Mario takes flight...Its all. just. fun, dammit.
Demuwan Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 Its FUN. thats all that matters. From getting those star bits, to the way Mario takes flight...Its all. just. fun, dammit. Thats the most Important thing.
LeeWii Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 Last time I played this was a few weeks back now. Still has that feeling of awe when you play on Good Egg Galaxy. Can't beat Luigi's Purple Coins on the Toy Time Galaxy. Any tips for me please?
... Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 Can't beat Luigi's Purple Coins on the Toy Time Galaxy. Any tips for me please? Don't rush it, keep calm and use the spin to control your jumps. You'll do it in no time like this. Also, keep in mind that the star will appear back at where you start, so make sure to keep a path to come back.
dwarf Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 I know it's great fun, but it ends quickly, it isn't too difficult and I felt they could have added a bit more. I think the gravity could've been used to greater effect, more gravity puzzles instead of just walking around a sphere. Its great, but could have been improved for me.
ShadowV7 Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 Everything can be better for you though Appreciate it for what it is and don't go looking for flaws.
dwarf Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 What?! If I say this and Mario Kart could've been better then so what? I don't look for flaws, in fact, there's a lot of bad games I love which get bad reviews. One or two points suggested for improvements isn't a bad thing, Im just saying it could/should have been better. Can't have an opposing view here...

Can't beat Luigi's Purple Coins on the Toy Time Galaxy. Any tips for me please? You don't need every coin in the Galaxy to get the star which makes it a bit easier, how I usually do it is go around the stage in a circle starting on the left side in the direction of the mushroom. If you get the mushroom you basically have unlimited tries.
dwarf Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 Yeah, and also use the Long jump for the gap-sections and you can control the length of it by using control stick, there's a lot of coins and you get a decent amount of time on each square, so finding a place to recover is quite easy if you feel like you're stuck. The most difficult star for me was the one where you have to point and click the bubble things in the Boo stage to collect the purple coins. Took me quite a few goes, and yet I did it first time with Luigi.

This is a Nintendo forum so we only say good things about them. I jest, I jest. Every game could be improved no matter what anyway. I want MG to be harder since it seemed to easy to me.
Shino Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 Yet, its easiness allows us to slide through the fun of this game.
dwarf Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 Challenge is fun though. And yes every game can be improved but certain games you sort of sense that it has missed a trick. Metroid Prime 1, I didn't feel disappointed at all with, it struck most chords and even the minor things that could've been adjusted didn't bother me. Crash Bash, massively flawed, didnt have the 'but they could of done' factor. Sunshine set out and achieved what it was aiming to do even if at the outset it didnt look like it would succeed. Galaxy I felt it could have been much better and taken the elements further to make the experience a lot deeper, instead it was just a slight change. Love the addition of spin attack too, a helping jump at times yet not too powerful. (I still like F.L.U.D.D) Ok these are quite random selections, and Crash Bash isnt better than Galaxy, but Im just trying to clarify my point. (probably confused though)
Mr. Bananagrabber Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 Sunshine>Galaxy Until this moment I thought for sure there was no such thing as a 'wrong' opinion. :p
dwarf Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 You know as I wrote that I thought 'instant respect points -100' but after thinking about it I seriously had more fun with Sunshine. Galaxy, while the initial impressions were amazing, it was a short-lived romp through the park.
... Posted April 19, 2008 Posted April 19, 2008 Ok, this is not really SMG specific, but it just occurred to me out of the blue that I don't think a Super Mario game has ever had a level with rain. I don't remember any, any of you guys does? It's a bit meaningless, but one thing I've always liked in games is rain. And it's not done often, I think. Mario has snow, but I'd like to see some day a rainy level.

(played it a while ago now) I don't remember any level with full blown rain though.
CooInTheZoo Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 I'm stuck on the Luigi Toy Time one as well. Its the last star! woop!
dwarf Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 Luigi PC: Make your way round in a circle, starting with the left, then do lots of zigzagging, making sure to long jumps in the section on the right.
triforcemario Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 I don't remember any level with full blown rain though.If I'm not mistaken, the Doomship levels in SMB3 (the SMAA and SMA 4 versions) had rain in them.
somme Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 I still haven't picked this back up after the first weekend I had it. Maybe I'll start again.
Nintendohnut Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 I'm currently on about 55 stars with Luigi but will have to finish it off in the summer now I'm back at uni. Incidentally Dwarf I don't mean to carry this on but what Shadow said was kinda true. I mean I can't think of many games at all that you haven't moaned about. You always find things wrong with games, even when they are stunning. I mean you even moaned about Brawl, which you seemed to have a bit of an orgasm over at first
... Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 hmmm... super mario galaxy has I think, honey bee galaxy in autumn or something like that, has clouds and I believe it rains under them. (played it a while ago now) I don't remember any level with full blown rain though. Yeah, funny enough, yesterday, after I posted this, I went to continue my second playthrough of the game and I played the Gold Leaf Galaxy and as soon as I got to those rain clouds I thought "oh shit, someone is gonna have my ass back at NE forum!" But no, what I mean is really a full blown rain, like you said, not just a small spot of rain that's there just to annoy Bee Mario. They could have a big field, perhaps with a mountain, with a full cloudy sky, heavy rain and a thunderstorm. Then you could have puddles of mud, where Mario would get his overalls dirty with mud if he splashed in them. That would be awesome. That said, let me just get back to Gold Leaf Galaxy. I've read in the past, and I've said it myself, that Gold Leaf Galaxy was a disapointment, because it's "just a mirrored version of Honeybee Galaxy". Well, now that my memory is refreshened, I have to say that it is not. It's a much superior Galaxy than the Honeybee one was, because if you go back there and play it, you'll see that Gold Leaf Galaxy actually has a lot of planetoids with gravity effects, that rivals the other "100% planetoid" galaxies. In fact, I believe Star No 2 from Gold Leaf Galaxy might be one of the very best ones of the whole game. Just go back and play Star no 2 and see for yourselves. Amazing gravity and that's what this game's all about. I hope they release a Super Mario Galaxy 2 on Wii. And not Wii 2, but this Wii. Since Mario went 3D he has only had one game per console, and that sucks. Nintendo should forget about Mario Parties, Mario Olympics, Mario Tennis and fuck all that, they should make platformers a plenty for each console, like in the old days. I want Super Mario Galaxy 2 and 3. :awesome:
dwarf Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 It rains in some of the WarioLand games. ^ They should keep some of the spin-offs, but it does make them a lot of money. They overkill it. I don't think they'll make an actual sequel. It'll probably be something like warping environments or a virtual reality world. Something a bit more expansive, with epic 10 min levels where you have to climb a big-ass volcano. Something where you interact a bit more with the environment, maybe something like the exclamation mark in Excite Truck etc.
... Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 Just finished another session from SMG. I got a question... You know those weird things that walk under the sand and follow you and they pop up from the sand when you stand still, but they just stand still also? They don't attack you, they just stare. They look like they have something inside them, cause there's a light that comes off at the top. But when you try to go near them they go under the sand again and only pop up when you stand still... I've tried kicking cocconuts at them, I've tried hitting them with starbits and nothing. I don't know what the hell they are, what they contain (a 1-up shroom perhaps?) or how to get to them. Do you know what I'm talking about? If you don't, there's one of them on the beach of Deep Dark Galaxy. And I think there's another one on sand of the central pear shaped planetoid on Sea Slide Galaxy.
