![]() ![]() If you think that Mario Galaxy 2 is just Galaxy 1 and more, play this game. Top 7 (and I hold the top 7 up to such a humongous pedestal). It's one of my favorite games of all time. Super Mario Galaxy 2 is one of the best games that I have ever played. Some of these are put in really well hidden spots. I didn't want to replay the game again to get 100% so I felt like 121 stars is enough. It just felt like a retread of everything. ![]() I didn't like the postgame content of Galaxy 1 compared to 2. THEY EVEN REUSED THE WHOMP KING'S DIALOGUE FROM MARIO 64!Īnother controversial take. AND THAT THROWBACK GALAXY! THAT LEVEL WAS A DAMN GOOD REMAKE. When my 15 year old self was playing this 7 years after playing it for the first time, I was like "YO! I REMEMBER THIS LEVEL! I REMEMBER THIS TRACK!" every time I saw a new level and I mean EVERY TIME. No longer do non timer purple coin levels exist. I'm going to be straight forward with this. The speedrun levels gave you too much time. Those are just boring, they require no challenge, and if you die, you have to do the level all over again. I HATED the non timer purple comet levels. In Galaxy 2, you get a comet medal and you move on with your life until the level appears. What's worse is if you are willing to unlock multiple comet levels, you have to play the same cutscene over and over again and it just takes too long to unlock a single level. In Galaxy 1, if you have a ton of star bits, you go up to the Hungry Luma, play an unskippable cutscene of the Luma transforming. How Galaxy 2 handles comets is also much better than Galaxy 1. The rock mushroom makes you go faster while killing enemies with a touch, but you have less handling. Yoshi is the best thing to come out of the Galaxy series as tons of mechanics revolve around him and are used frequently. The Spin Drill is used to its fullest potential it's used more than all of Mario Galaxy 1's powerups combined. Mario Galaxy 2 goes all out with how it uses its ideas. Mario Galaxy 2 and onward decimate this issue. The rock mushroom makes you go faster while killing enemies with a touch, but you have … More This video by Barry Karamer explains this issue the best. That thing was only used ONCE(twice if you count the hub). And don't get me started on the red star. ![]() MY GOD THESE MECHANICS CAN BE BARELY USED. One of my biggest issues with Mario Galaxy 1 was how it uses its ideas. This review will most definitely be comparing the sequel to its predecessor. I'm starting off with a hot take right now: Super Mario Galaxy 2 > Super Mario Galaxy 1 (good game, but overrated) Two days ago was Super Mario Galaxy 2's 10th anniversary (GOD DAMMIT! I'M 2 DAYS OFF FROM REVIEWING THIS) so I feel like this review is going to be something special to me after bottling up why for 3 years. Replaying this game as a 15 year old made me finally realize why while. Ever since I was an 8 year old who didn't know anything about quality, I knew that this game was something special but I couldn't understand why other than "it's fun" up until 3 years ago. I have a personal connection with this game. ![]()
