Super Mario Galaxy 2

There’s just something about Mario that is so enjoyable. Who would have thought, fifty years ago, that kids and adults alike would fall in love with a plumber? And yet fall in love I have. I’m a woman who loves her some serious Mario. I mean, I love other games too (who doesn’t love Link?) but Mario has been, and will likely always be, my favorite. I was actually a bit disappointed with the Galaxy game that came out, because while it was great to see Mario, the game didn’t seem to move fluidly. It seemed like there were lots of hiccups to the game and that I spent more time waiting for the system to respond than I did getting to play the actual game.

This, of course, could have been my Wii, which needed to be cleaned – and isn’t that a total pain? But even after it was cleaned, the game just didn’t seem to play that smoothly. I hope that this new Super Mario Galaxy 2 that I’ve heard about plays a bit more smoothly, as I really don’t care to have my play interrupted by jarring and waiting for the machine to catch up! I’m sure it will also have another update, because it seems like all of the newer Nintendo games have updates for this system.

One thing that I’m definitely looking forward to is being able to play Yoshi! Who doesn’t love Yoshi! This little dinosaur brings the most fun into any Mario game that he has ever been in, and I’m really looking forward to playing him. Hopefully the controls will be similar to the older Mario games with Yoshi in them, which run the same way that Mario runs. And I’ve also seen that players get to be a Bee again, which is great! I loved being able to fly with Mario and to control him! And the ghost suit? Pure genius – I hope that they bring back more of being able to be the ghost in Super Mario Galaxy 2 Wii, or that they bring in some new type of suit for Mario to be!
