The story is basic, but that’s totally fine because main focus in the game is the amazing worlds and challenges that you get to experience along the way. Bowser has kidnapped Princess Peach once AGAIN and Mario has to travel through planets, goomba’s, Koopa’s and bosses to reach Bowser and defeat him and save her. The story of Super Mario Galaxy 2 is not much different from the other Super Mario’s. This has to be one of the most brilliant and original ideas I’ve ever come across in a Mario game. With the Mario Cloud suit Mario can create cloud platforms and jump from one to another to reach his destination. Have you ever wanted to make your own clouds ? Now you can not only make them, but you can jump on them to get to places or to objects that are just out of reach, which is handy when there are no platforms to get you there. Mario can even become a bowling ball and bowl down pins … STRRIIKKEE !!!!!! Mario’s other ability is so totally original and out there that when I first laid eyes on it I shed a tear of pure happiness and joy. Also (and this must be seen to be believed – it’s totally amazing), Mario can also transform himself into a boulder by eating a boulder mushroom – yes, a boulder mushroom !! Now don’t ask me how Mario manages to chow down on a boulder mushroom, but once he does he’s magically transformed into a huge boulder and can ram into objects and enemies. There’s the new drill power up that will allow you to drill through surfaces all the way to the other side of the planet. Mario also has a few new abilities and power ups up his sleeve as well. Eating the Blimp fruit will inflate Yoshi into a balloon where he can float to new heights. Yoshi also has a new fresh diet of peppers and blimp fruit, eating a hot pepper sends Yoshi into a frenzy where he can run up steep inclines and vertical walls. He can use his tongue to swing across chasms, or grab items and shoot them back at enemies. Find a Yoshi Egg, smash it open and hop onto Yoshi’s back, Yoshi has new abilities as well. On his grand adventure Mario will have his best buddy Yoshi aid him along the way. The great thing is that old challenges and bosses all appear in fresh new environments which make you feel like you’re battling someone totally new. (No Spoilers) but there a number of old challenges and even a few old bosses that make a comeback from the original game. Speaking about destinations, there’s an incredible amount of new planets and characters to explore and meet along the way. One thing that is different “but in a cool way” is the level / world selection map that feels like you’re back in Super Mario World as you control Mario’s special FACE-ship (har,har) to pick your next destination across the galaxy. Nintendo have added to what was already a winning formula with the original Super Mario Galaxy to create a masterpiece that stands on the top of the mountain with star in hand and yelling out to the world Yipeeeeee !!!!!Īnyone that’s played the original, Super Mario Galaxy will feel very much at home with the controls as the gameplay mechanics have not changed. Super Mario Galaxy has followed the rule that if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Super Mario 2 is not a reboot to the series, as a matter of fact there is not much in terms of mechanics or gameplay that has changed. ( I’ve always wanted to say that) and today I’m here to share with you my review of Nintendo’s Super Mario Galaxy 2 for the Nintendo Wii.
