Can anyone explain to me why the pointer shoots star bits from above rather than from Mario himself? That's bothering me for some reason. As is the size of pointer itself. I'd rather have had a very small one rather than that big star thing. Apart from that, it's a perfect game if I ever saw one. |

i have no qualms with the pointer jazz. i'm looking forward to trying out the limited two-player mode sometime. |
||||||||

nope, havent played it. it isn't coming out australia until next thursday, and besides, i dont even have a wii :'( |
||||||||

I don't have one either and i'm a wii bit sad :( btw. what's with all this mario 64 dissin', show some respect peeps! |
||||||||

2-player is pretty cool--it means the other person can collect all the star-bits (and also fire them at enemies), which helps things a lot in crazy situations! |

you'll understand when you play galaxy. |

I really like Twighlight Princess what do you think is so bad about it. |

i have about 50 stars now, and i just dont see this game getting any better. There are some frighteningly bad controls (swimming, flying) not to mention the limited camera possibilities, overly childish elements and boss fights that are way too easy. mario64 owns this game in so many ways. it's sad but true: mario64 is the geogaddi of games, and mario galaxy is the campfire headphase. In other words: not good enough, but what can you expect after a number of brilliant releases? The things about mario galaxy i enjoy the most seem to be references to the old games. I think Nintendo is well aware that Mario's prime days are over. |

it's pretty obvious that, for whatever reason, you're deliberately playing the game with the mindset that you're supposed to hate it. i don't know why that is, but i guess i'm sorry you're one of the five people who don't like it. sincerely, nintendo |

what? read my previous posts and tell me how you came to that conclusion. on the other hand, it's pretty obvious that you are playing the game with the mindset that it is supposed to be (and according to the rest of the world it certainly MUST be) the best game in the world. i am enjoying the game. enjoying it a lot at certain moments too, but i dont have my head up mario's ass like some people, so yes i do see flaws in the game, and to be completely frank: i am fucking fed up with people overhyping stuff out of sheer boredom/desperation/feelings of nostalgia and i dont know what else it is that makes it happen. i've played it enough to say it isn't as good as mario64. that doesnt mean i hate this game. sorry if you find that offensive anyway. |

You seem really upset towards the fact people are really loving a game that includes bits with frighteningly bad controls etc.. "i am fucking fed up with people overhyping stuff out of sheer boredom/desperation/feelings of nostalgia and i dont know what else it is that makes it happen." haha! Let people love whatever it is they love. Even if you seem to have the master say on things, it's relative. Sorry for getting involved, it's just that you come across as rather bitter. |

hmm, really, 10+ years is a long time, that's since Mario 64 was released, so I'd be careful with head-on comparisons... I am hoping I'll love Galaxy as much as I did 64 (in my opinion perhaps the greatest game of all time), but I also expect it to do things differently and in some ways better. The fact is, after Sunshine, and after the deterioration of the Sonic genre (not to mention all the other half-assed platformers), the world needed a perfect 10 platformer. I don't think hype has much to do with it; observe the lukewarm reaction to Sunshine. I think the perspective will be saner in, say, 12 months, so it'd be interesting to see what people are saying then. but that's as much as I can honestly say before playing actually the game! |

Super Mario 64 has more than its fair share of childish elements and easy bosses. I'd say there are bosses in Galaxy which are harder than any in Super Mario 64. Both games: 10/10 |

i love the daredevil comets that pit you against bosses with only 1 piece of health. |

I'm onto 50 stars now--10 from being able to access my 'Loved One'. Been working the past two days so haven't had too much time to play: played & completed the toy galaxy (inc. secret star), that galaxy is awesome! I am not looking forward to the 100-coin stars, which I'm guessing are in this game? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Toy Galaxy is indeed great. This game brings me back to childhood. One thing: Why does your star pointer not shoot stars from Mario? Who's shooting? And why is so big? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wow...this game has far exceeded my expectations completely. I cant compare it to Mario64 since its 2 diff platforms, but this is killer to say the least. I have a question though. I am playing on an HDTV, and i was wondering if anyone out there has the component cables could tell me if it makes a big difference or not. I have read reviews that go in both directions. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm using compnent cables and running it in 480p and it looks very pretty. Older Gamcube games that don't support this - even the ones that are usually very pretty- look like ropey piles of shit on my HD. |

I'm playing on a widescreen H.D. plasma-screen and it looks just fine--I haven't played any G.C. yet on that t.v. though I have a few lying about.. I hope they don't look shit :[ |

If you have 72 stars, have you rescued the princess yet? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Why do the stars not shoot out of Mario and instead from the star pointer? Sorry, I'm obsessed with finding out... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the answer is actually in your question: it's because they shoot out of the star pointer and not from mario. you can think of it as you yourself assisting mario, which is what you're doing, but if that breaks the fourth wall too much for you and ruins the escapism aspect of the game then you can keep looking for a more contextual and colourful answer. just note that the two-player mode is your friend using a star pointer to further assist you/mario. |

"Well, that's it! Bowser will be defeated and you get to view the ending to the game. Enjoy it, since I'm not spoiling it for you. Just try to burn Mario's last line out of your mind. Or just mute your television. You don't want to hear it. For beating the game, Purple Comets will now appear in certain galaxies. You won't like them." Uh-oh. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i haven't. i decided to get all 120 before making the rescue attempt. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Do you know if you get a star for getting 100 coins in a level? I might try to get 100 in the easiest galaxy... see if I get anyfink. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think I will be doing the same. |
||||||||
|

|
|
ah ha ha ha, look at this kid laugh at wii golf: |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i was just wondering about that myself so i went to the first galaxy and after a few minutes figured there couldnt possibly be 100 coins in that particular level. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ha-ha, that's exactly what happened with me.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
O.K. I'm on the "last" level now (wanted to see what it was like). It's already caused me to crush one can of coke & gnash my teeth several times--it's a bit of a toughie. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hah. i got too curious as well and took a peek. didnt save though.. 80 stars at the moment. these remaining stars are going to be bitches. daredevil bouldergheist run: !!!!!!!!!!!!! |

I keep dying at the same bit.. you gotta hop along a slimy section of sinking grates and moving platforms over lava, dodging fireballs, then run along ice, then dodge twirling arms of fireballs... I do that, and EVERYTIME I fall into the lava and sink immediately. I'm getting so irate... I've gone to jump onto the safe platform so many times and it's just walked me over the edge and I've died. Urngh! |
||||||||
|
|

Best game ever!!! It's an absolute joy to play. all hail super mario galaxy!!! :) |

How much do you have to jerk your entire body around with the motion sensing controller to play this? Or can you opt to use the controller in a normal fashion if you choose on most games? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its all pretty normal fashion... very sensitive controller.... you dont have to go half way across the room for the senser to understand what you're doing. hehe |

No game really requires you to make silly movements... it's optional fun. On Wii Sports, in the tennis it's fun to make the exaggerated movements and to 'accidentally' whack your opponent with your forearm, but it can be played sitting down and just flicking your wrist at the appropriate time.. hmm, that gives me an idea... Wii Commit Suicide: Wrist Slitting Edition; the on-screen knife hovers along your arm and you have to shoogle/the wiimote to slash at just the right time... oh man, someone code that bitch already! |

Yes, I'll have to try the second option. It's utterly ridiculous; it's such a perfect game and the star pointer is hardly a flaw, but once I get annoyed at something like that I can't forget it. I just play with the Wiimote pointing fairly vertically so that the star pointer dissappears now and only use it when it's essential (which it often in some levels.) |
||||||||
|
|

|

*which it often isn't. Typing, bad...more port. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That has to be played in real life because you have the challenge of trying to overcome your annoying innate urge to live and fear of dying, whereas the game is pointlessly easy with no risk. |

I loved those 100 coin challenges in 64, because I likes a good challenge |

up to around 70 odd stars the bee suit is a joy to play with, shame about the fire flower only lasting about 10 secs other than that this is easily the best game on the wii at the moment and the only game i have thoroughl enjoyed playing in a long time |
||||||||

I don't understand people saying this is too easy. At the beginning, it is easy but still very fun and satisfying (because, for some reason, the easiness doesn't feel flawed in the same way that it did in the last two Zelda games). I'm up to around 45 stars and there's been some nicely challenging sections towards the 35-45 mark. I've died plenty of times in this, but never to the point of frustration. |

i'm at 87 and it's getting tough, slow and at times frustratingly difficult. |

I borrowed this game yesterday and got to 42 stars. So much fun. |
||||||||

It's fantastic, I'm playing like a bastard eheheh. |
