Super Mario Galaxy

They're hard(er), but keep at 'em. Practise definitely makes perfect. I hate the fact that it's first to cross to get the star, not first to cross the line. You lose so much to that technicality, it annoyed me so much in the level where you first meet Guppi (the name escapes me).

I found the purple coins easier with Luigi. I mean, I'd done the hard ones with Mario already, they were almost second nature with the green guy. Still, I reckon the most annoying purple coin challenge was the Honeyhive Galaxy. I died so many times thanks to that beanstalk, and the honey on the underside of the level. lol the memories.
 
The Purple coins are easier the second time because you now know where they are all hiding, lol. The hardest one for me is still Luigi's Purple Coins...it's a pain.

Any sign on a soundtrack for this game yet? I would really love to listen to the music at night while trying to sleep, lol.
 
I got to play this for the first time yesterday, and although I was playing a game that was already at 100~ stars, doing Purple Coin challenges, it was awesome. I went back into one of the older levels in the Engine Room and there are five or six flying saucers you start on, and long jumping/backflipping around on those is endless hours of fun. Especially when you are able to launch yourself around an entire saucer using the gravity to pull you around without touching the ground.
 
The physics are certainly very fun...

@BellGoRiiing: I remember now. That one took me at least 10 tries. For about 6 of them, I got the 100th coin near the star (could've been closer) and managed to fall into the quicksand or whatever and die. I don't think time's really the issue, it's thinking you don't have enough time that makes your head want to explode and thus die.

I know that after hearing it a million times it should get really annoying, but I really like the time limit music (for the speedy comets and some of the purple coin comets).

You know which mission I hated the most going first time through with Mario? Daredevil Comet in the Molten Lava Galaxy. It was so annoying. I beat it in 3 goes with Luigi second time round though.

Oh good lord yes thank you

I beat everything in the game, all stars for both Luigi & Mario (the very last level/message is very silly but strangely satisfying), and for some stupid reason that Daredevil was the hardest thing for me. It took me like 17 lives and my only Game Over to beat it. Ugh. Stupid level >_<

The rest of the game's a peach, though. Or a Peach. Agh I need to go to bed :(
 
Haha. The rest of the game was fair easy. I'm glad after sixty stars, they did up the difficulty a bit though. I love the final message. I stuck the Luigi picture on my Photo Channel Icon :)

I despised Spring Mario. When I had to use him again for the first water level (Something-bowl galaxy?) in collecting the purple coins, I was pissed off. Controlling him is so annoying. Freeze Mario for the win!
 
The only Spring Mario one I hated was the cake one. Was that Toy Time?

And yes I REALLY wish I could have played as Freeze Mario for the whole game. That was like Sonic, the way he was meant to be controlled (just a little slower). I also wish they'd done more with the red stars and the flying. It's almost like it was tacked on at the end, like they ran out of time but really wanted to do more w/ it.
 
Yeah definitely. What would've been fun would be like galaxies in the sky where you have to fly through rings and fly to floating landscapes etc. Also, a great thing in Mario Sunshine and Mario 64 was that you could collect other stars in a particular mission. Putting a red star in the level could've allowed you to do that, because galaxy, in terms of level design, was a bit too linear. Plus, they could've cut down on single star galaxies and put 8 stars per level than the average 6 (of which at least two were repeats of the same mission). Oh well.

The cake level was indeed Toy Time Galaxy. I hated using spring in something-Bowl Galaxy because I hated the spring in Toy Time, my hatred passed over. It was just annoying. It would be awesome to play the whole game as Freeze (where possible). Fire was a bit of a chore, and there should've been more bee levels with bee-exclusive puzzles (like climbing the honeycombs). I think the powers were to constricted by their levels. I enjoyed using the Rocket Nuzzle, or Metal/Wing Mario (in their respective games) in most levels. Ah well.

Indeed, Galaxy fell short in some aspects. I reckon it's a bit over hyped, but a great game nevertheless. Best game of 2007? Nah...
 
I wonder where the Mario Series will go from here. He's conquered the Mushroom Kingdom, an island paradise (Delfino), the dimensions, the universe (and soon, the Subspace Emissary, whatever that place is), what next? Nintendo have so much to live up to now. Where else could they possibly take him?

MARIO NUCLEUS!

Explore the inner workings of Princess Peach's ruptured ovarian cyst with Mario as he shrinks down to the size of subatomic particles and battles his way through the entangled mess of Peach's DNA! Little does he know, Bowser's DNA is there, too! How did that happen?! Play the game to find out! Princess Peach will bake you a cake if you do!

... It's a good first level.
 
Ewwww that sounds horrendous...


... horrendously awesome, that is. I like the real life idea too. GTA: Mushroom Kingdom. That'd be awesome!!

Venetia... oh dear.

GTA: Mushroom Kingdom
Finally, the drug lord Luigi has ascertained enough coins to buy out Princess Peach's Crack mansion, and make the Princess his number one ho. Not even Don Bowser has seen this much power. Mario, who's just been fired from his job as a cop, now has to clean up the streets of the Mushroom Kingdom, taking on work from the people he'd previously been putting away; The Hammered Brothers, King Goomba, number one manufacturer of mushrooms, Don Bowser, godfather to the koopas, and even Daisy, the biggest whore to ever ravage the Mushroom Kingdom backstreets.

With an arsenal of weapons at his disposal, including fireballs, hammers, broken bongs and 'Mega Shrooms', only Mario can take down his brother Luigi, before he manages to buy out the whole continent.

XD

I can hear the mandolin music and see the grainy film quality now.

Bowser: 'Mario can suffer then. As Peach suffers. How much shall I pay you?'

Luigi: 'Bonasera. Bonasera. What have I ever done to make you to treat me so disrespectfully. If you had come to me in friendship, then this scum that ruined your beloved Peach would be suffering this very day. And if by chance an honest man like yourself should make enemies, then they would become my enemies. And then, they would fear you.'

Bowser: 'Be my friend... Godbrother.'

[kisses Luigi's ring]

Luigi: 'Good. Someday, and that day may never come, I'll call upon you to do a service for me. But, until that day, accept this 1-Up Mushroom as a gift on my main ho's wedding day.'

Bowser: 'Grazie, Godbrother.'
 
Goodness, you really caught the atmosphere of The Godfather, Mushroom Kingdom Style. Perhaps it is we who is destined to come up with the next Super Mario game. lol, very well done Venetia!
