Super Mario Galaxy 2

Super Mario Sunshine? Eh, it was all right. I mean, I love Mario games, don’t get me wrong, but Sunshine is rated by most of us fans as probably the least favorite Mario game there is. It was great to see Yoshi again, but the whole squirting thing got kind of annoying. And the village dudes? Really got on my nerves. When Galaxy came out everyone was hoping that it would be better than Sunshine, and, thankfully, it was. I remember sitting up for hours playing Galaxy and having to explain to my boss the next morning why I was so tired (I lied, of course).

When I heard that Super Mario Galaxy 2 was going to be coming out, and sooner than expected, I was ecstatic. I’ve already beaten the original one a few times and am now a bit bored of it (although who doesn’t love Rosalie?) so I was really glad that a new version was coming out. I have now seen some scenes from it and it looks a lot like the original one, which is good, and is bad.

Personally I have issues with the whole “rolling world” thing. It makes me a bit dizzy to use Mario that way, especially for the first ten minute of playing. I do get used to it, but anyone who comes into the room while I’m playing usually has a hard time adjusting to it. I wish they would have kept away from the rolling world thing. But it’s too late to change that now, right?

Maybe they’ll make things better this time, though, by making it a bit more difficult. It’s almost too easy to get through this first version just because you can use the star to get from world to world. And while I know there are stars there again, hopefully this time it’ll be a bit more challenging. Other than that (and the whole rolling world thing), I just hope that Super Mario Galaxy 2 Wii is as true to the Mario format and storylines as the last one was, as it’s just too much fun to play!
