Johnny vs. Super Mario Galaxy 2

- Looks like Nintendo really enjoyed the Space motif last time, so they're doing it again. How does this game manage to make a name for itself after the successful predecessor? You'd be surprised. Mario is orbiting the Nintendo Wii one last time with Super Mario Galaxy 2!
The fact this isn't on 3D All-Stars is a fucking crime.
Yep.
maybe it's because Galaxy 2 is just that good that it needs it's own spotlight
@@codezero7981 it's just basically a better version of galaxy 1 as a whole, even with the abridged story, the gameplay is meatier, more powerups, more useful and interesting powerups, gameplay that is way more streamlined and in a more comfortable and less tight space. The levels in a galaxy are trying emphasize linearity in the missions but I personally find galaxy 2 way better at doing nonlinearity in the stages themselves
@@tsyumamatsuthehavenofguard32 to me, Galaxy 1 and 2 had a great soundtrack, good level designs and good graphics, but Rosalina is a better character than lubby "point for 1" and then 2 has Yoshi and more power ups so they'th both great games
I have to Agree having this NOT on 3D All-Stars is Criminal!
Lubba is now Lubby.
:D That was funny.
Won't we not will we
sorry to grammer nazi but i hear you say i alot and its like super noticeable
No! THIS IS PATRICK!
never forget
Patrick Star meets Big the Cat. That's Lubba.
I love this reviewers style. No bullshit, just frank opinions- and he doesn't pester you to like and subscribe
Yep
Johnny is just that kind of CZcamsr
+brokenSCART Indeed, Johnny is a humble man, and really talented at both humor and animation at that.
Starlord1954 DX so true
Carl Bloke I just wish more big youtubers could look at his humble personality and follow suit, I think smaller youtubers are the only real CZcamsrs I've seen that act so humble, and that's because they aren't very popular.
Oh my lord that dumb laugh at 3:00 killed me.
What’s it called again when you revisit something and suddenly recognize someone that was there all along and never noticed it?
Well I’m going through that now.
@@niclaswa5408 A revelation?
@@TheBlueTyphoon17 That’s probably it. I didn’t know who Nitro Rad was 6 years ago, and now I’m seeing him in a comment section of a video I watched 6 years ago. 🤯
And for those wondering, yes, I've already recorded Galaxy 2 for BSC
YAY
Excellent ,now we only emerald and we can control the universe MwahaMwahhahaha
please tell me you didn`t record the green stars
Can't wait, I love brainscratch!
Awesome. Thanks Ryan!
This review alone just shows why Johnny's one of my favorite video game reviewers on the internet. He goes in depth with the gameplay, points out the positives & the negatives that those games have & doesn't automatically assume it's a copy/paste game just because of its presentation or thinks it's a terrible game just because of lack of story. I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one that sees what Galaxy 2 had to offer & sees it as a fantastic Mario game.
I think by this point, the COD effect is dying so this comes and becomes the new bitch for them.
And this is the reason why I will always trust Johnny over IGN/Gamespot
Definitely.
The Kenneth Cain yes yes. #Johnny
Definitely.
Thanks, Johnny. Thanks for not jumping on the goddamn bandwagon. Though, I never doubt you in the first place.
Didn't expect you to be here Fawful and I am glad it was a nice change of tune compared to what others were saying.
my lord! i didn't know you watch SomeCallMeJohnny, Fawfuls Minion! say....would you ever consider doing a collab review with him on something special? like maybe the next pokemon game when it comes out?
o hai fawful
I request a collab. Please?
Silent Huntsman yay! someone agrees with me about a collab between Logan and Johnny!
Exactly there is no point of arguing over which game is better. What are we Sonic fans?
***** A miserable what?
***** XD
He's gone Steve
what is a fan, a misereable pile of nostalgia!
@@thomasstewart9752 Now have at you
I had a lot of fun with Super Mario Galaxy 2. I LOVE the addition to use Yoshi. The platforming was top notch, and the addition of the Grandstar Galaxy is one of my favorite additions to the Mario series. I just wish all of the stages didn't feel so linear. I know Super Mario Galaxy had it's share of linear gameplay, but it's so much more apparent in Super Mario Galaxy 2. I didn't enjoy it MORE than Galaxy 1, but it's still highly rated.
Thanks for the review, Johnny :)
Hii pk
I only somehow feel like playing the game because you can play as Yoshi again. XD
I hope Nintendo makes a galaxy 3 I mean just look at 3d world that game was beautiful. Just imagine what they could do with Galaxy 3.
Who is that
Hello PK
Also 1st comment in 9 years
As brief as it was, the part with Elliot shows how much the dynamic between the two brothers has improved over the years. One of the things I like about the channels Johnny is involved in is the interaction between multiple individuals, keep it up guys.
13:24 - This. This right here. Truer words could've never been said. If just about everyone was as open-minded as you were Johnny, the gaming world would be a better place. That's also like saying is which Banjo-Kazooie game is the better one? Does it really matter? They're both the same game, and equally as fun. Most sequels nowadays tend to screw things up by not staying true to its predecessor, or try too hard to surpass it *cough*FinalFantasy*cough*.
Games like the Galaxy series tend to throw that problem out of the problem like an overdue rent (?). I guess what I'm trying to say is, both Galaxy games are equally great in their own unique ways. Galaxy 1 has it's presentation and Rosalina's backstory, while Galaxy 2 provides much more challenge and replay value.
Galaxy 2 is a similar to its predecessor gameplay and visual-wise, but it's different enough with some newly and well-designed levels. This statement can be said to any sequel that stays true to its original titles. Banjo-Kazooie, Pikmin, Bayonetta, etc.
+DarkSonic180 Lol do you know what an opinion is? Stop being cancerous. You're an example of what's wrong with most gamers today.
+Pit I agree but I think they're unique from each other for a different reason. Galaxy 1 and Galaxy 2 have their own unique style of levels. Levels such as Space Junk Galaxy, Toy Time Galaxy, and Melty Molten Galaxy follow their own styles like Puzzle Plank Galaxy, Cosmic Cove Galaxy, and Clockwork Ruins Galaxy. Jus thaving many different levels is enough to make the game feel fresh and unique.
+DarkSonic180 Dude, would it hurt to just chill out? You're acting like a complete ass when no one did anything to you.
***** You must be fun at parties.
Banjo Tooie was a lot different from Banjo Kazooie...
4:08 - Johnny: A lovely blue sky serves as the backdrop for a number of stages, and when a starry night envelops the horizon, it's usually accompanied with interstellar wonders and floating pancakes.
Ryan: Unlimited pancakes.
9:39 this is why Elliot needs to be part of the reviews again.
That hair, tho!!
Super Gaming Bros. UNITE!!!
i agree
Super Mario Galaxy 2 is, by far, my favorite Mario game of all time, and possibly my favorite video game of all time. Thank you Johnny for this review and I can't wait for the next one.
That fucking "Har har" at 3:00 gets me EVERY TIME!
Elliot sections in reviews always get a laugh xD
Yes I think they are always the best, the saw review is the best one with both of them in my opinion.
i'd dual wield wii motes if I knew player 2 could grab purple coins!
*****
I think Johnny does his reviews best alone. Elliot seemed shoehorned in and sounded like he was reading right off the script.
SMG1 vs SMG2 reminds me of Battle for bikini Bottom Vs Movie Game
some people swear one is good and the other sucks, or the sequel didn't change enough, and there are some people who just love both games
I don't think anyone has ever said Galaxy 2 sucks
***** I've heard it
"I heard some random dude say it so that means the game gets too much hate"
Which one is better? Movie game or Battle for bikini bottom
It's Over 9000 Productions For me Movie Game
Johnny: "... Galaxy 2 is more difficult but it isn't cheap..." "...they're not asking you to be perfect just capable..."
Me: try telling that to Grandmaster galaxy's "PERFECT RUN"!!!
AND the green stars! I did 100% this years ago though. And also Galaxy 1. I think they're both great in their own ways.
well he's talking as far as the main game
God, I felt like an MVP after I finished Perfect Run
That Bi-curious Luma part had me in stitches.
Super Mario Galaxy 2 compares very well to Galaxy 1. I personally hold them to be about equal in terms of quality. While it does feel more like an expansion pack than an entirely new experience, I feel like it adds enough to the table. What I don't like is that it isn't as much of an "experience", if that makes sense. A lack of Rosalina as a main part and the complete memory wipe of the original game are disappointing. Some of the green stars are a bit jerkish as well. And while I do prefer the Cosmic Observatory to the Faceship (I also like the hub world in 1 more than the world map in 2), it's a fairly minor gripe.
I would continue, but you've already done a fantastic job with this review Johnny.
***** I heavily recommend both of them (as does Johnny). They're my favorite Mario platformers and two of my favorite games of all time.
In regards to flame wars, just ignore them. I'm mostly indifferent to them at this point.
***** Eh. I've just accepted it by this point. And while it's not my business and I hope I don't come off as rude (not trying to), you seem a bit too pessimistic on life judging by your comments on this channel (along with BSC and SGB). Lighten up a bit. Not saying that you should think everything is butterflies and rainbows, though. It's good to have a healthy balance.
***** I don't really see what's so bad about Google buying YT. It's just capitalism (which is a good thing when there isn't a monopoly), though I will say that many of their practices are stupid and need reform. Btw, good news! Amazon bought Twitch instead, which means more competition (no Google monopoly).
And, yes, people who engage in fads just for attention and to make themselves look cool are idiots. Hopefully they'll grow out of it. The world has been, is, and always will be filled with stupidity. Just don't let those people affect you by compromising your own positivity. Otherwise, they've won.
Good on you for setting high standards for yourself in school and wanting to change the world in some way or another. It's always great to see people have and pursue such ambitions.
***** I never truly understood the problem with making a G+ account. Granted, I already had one at the time of the comment system change (I prefer the new thread-style system over the old comments, too). Never used it but still. My main problem with Google owning YT is the copyright detection system. I'm against violating copyright, but the system screws over those who are using content under fair use as well.
And once again, I think it's great that your going for top quality in education. I wish you luck in those endeavors and sincerely hope you accomplish your goal of changing the world for the better in some way.
***** Elitism over a product and criticizing something as being overrated indeed are both stupid. Unfortunately, I once fell into the trap of the latter, though I have moved past that as of now.
You know, SomecallmeJohnny, if I had to assume a reason as to why the power-ups are more situational is the structure of the 3D Mario games themselves. They are not merely going from level to level, using Mario's abilities to do so. 3D Mario games (with the exception of 3D Land / 3D World) is dedicated to having Mario hunt for the stars, and I believe that the power-ups in the 3D games are merely meant to add more variety. Personally, I do not mind this.
They seem like the sock and frog power ups from smb3
3:44 - He was talking like Doge before Doge became a meme
"Much bravery
Much legend".....wow
no1reallycaresabout2 Such Woo-hoo.
Giordan Diodato dude.......want some snickers?
Ahmet Can Erdin Just destroy the meme and I'll be fine.
Ahmet Can Erdin I laughed my ass off. XD
+Giordan Diodato triggered
I think odyssey is the true follow up to this game.
I really do like Odyssey. But I still prefer the Galaxy games more.
A lot of people say that Odyssey is an unofficial Galaxy 3. I can respect that.
@@98953812 I would say that 3D World is more of a Galaxy 3, while Odyssey is more of a 64...2? Mario 65? 3D World had Rosalina and 3 space worlds, while Odyssey had grounded sandbox levels. And the moon, to be fair, but still, same solar system, I guess.
Ah, Galaxy 2. I remember back when I was following the pre-launch advertising for this game. I would play the demo at stores whenever I had a chance, and I made sure that it was what I got for Christmas following the game's release. I played through the game throughout the rest of my winter break, and I don't remember if I 100%'d the game before the end of it, but I got pretty far. The special world was a blast, even if some levels were tough. This is easily my favorite Mario game (minus 3D World, as I have yet to play that one), and is a game I HOPE gets a sequel on the upcoming Switch. If Galaxy 3 were announced with the Switch, it would be an instant buy; no questions asked.
Galaxy 2 is my favorite Mario game thus far, and I'm glad you saw it through to the end.
This took everything that made Galaxy and multiply it a HUNDRED fold. It's awesome.
Elliot: Let’s play?
Johnny: Let’s play.
Me: haha, I’m sad now.
I miss SGB let's plays I have had so many laughs and really felt like I was there with them the whole time sitting next to them watching them play. Good times good times
best 2D Mario = Super Mario World
, best 3D Mario = Super Mario Galaxy 2
i agreed too
100% on that.
Nice, but I prefer SNES' Yoshis Island for best 2D Mario
Spryte-WiiMix I prefer galaxy 1
i like mario galaxy 1 but mario galaxy 2 is very good too
This might be my favorite review you've made yet, John. I had a lot of laughs in this one.
My absolute favorite 3D Mario game of all time. It's such a beautiful masterpiece.
Elliot sure has grown since the last time we saw him hasn't he
its him growing hair isnt it? XD
I had gotten every power star and medal in the game (all 242) but when I was transferring the save to my Wii U, it got deleted. I can't even look at the game the same way anymore, but it is one of my favorite Mario games.
damm man thats fucked up.
Did you Copy the Complete Save in your SD card In your Wii ?
And that's why I never transferred
Juanmanuel Carrillo It was deleted anyway.
+TheRedCap30 play it again
I feel like johnny has to have a cutscene every 15 minutes or hour plus story to enjoy it
Wait did I hear johnny say "Let's Play" are Johnny and Elliot going to do Super Mario Galaxy 2?
yes you did im cant wait
Aboy5768 Awesome! :D
Gotta love Johnny's reliability, he said it would be uploaded by Sunday and it was uploaded by Sunday. Great job dude!
I gotta say. Johnny's and Elliot's acting has really reached a lot over the years. While I still love the older videos with some being my favorite videos ever back then it sometimes felt like a script was being read aside from the obvious. Now years later the synergy and quality between the two in the newer videos are absolutely amazing.
Another great one from the man himself. Nice job, Johnny!
Coming back to this review now that BSC is tackling Galaxy 2
I love Galaxy 2 so much. The fact that the Green Stars were additional content compared to just playing the game again is already justifiable in my book. But I really appreciate the fact that the Green Stars required you to really explore and find and push the boundaries and limits of the game. I wish more games did the same type of thing as long as it isn't actually taking anything else away from the game.
This was a Christmas present from my maternal grandmother back in 2010. And it was already one of the best Christmases I ever had.
"Usually accompanied with intersteller music and pancakes"
Akechi from Persona 5 might want to play those levels now
TFW a picture of The Thousand Year Door. You have to review it. It's godly.
Jon Snow Nah.
I'm still waiting to see him review that game. After seeing a video walkthrough, I decided to get the game myself. Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door was one of many games that I've played where I couldn't put the controller down the first time I played.
Maybe a Rpg Mario Marathon?
id be up for that :)
It is godly
4:49 "I have to go buy these someday, there so-- OH MY GOD" 😂😂😂
I have such good memories with this game! I was working at Six Flags the year it came out, and we had what we called the "Wii Experience Booth". Everyone in the games department wanted this position, because not only were you in an air conditioned room in the middle of summer, but we literally were getting paid to play Wii games! It was glorious!
im looking forward to 3D land. which imo is mario's first actual game that converts his 2D style gameplay into 3D.
That was literally the major marketing point behind the game...
its was marketed like every other mario title before it. the major marketing point was the return of the tanooki suit
*****
I should've used a word...a different word than the previous one.
4:58
I will probably get a lot of hate from this, but you can torrent the soundtrack and listen to-**FBI arrive** OH SHIT!
omg galaxy 2 does exist
I played these games back to back and I really gotta disagree with ya johnny. Galaxy 2 does so much more then JUST being more mario galaxy. It does the first wonderful game justice all the way.
Still waiting on that lets play guys
I actually liked the green stars
They were a nice challange didn't take to long so that it didn't become tedious and it compliments the 3d nature of the game
+Mitchell Boot I liked them too, and I think it was very fun.
I still say their pointless, outside of one or two
They were amazing
Elliot: Let's Play?
Johnny: Let's play.
Subscribers: LET'S PLAY?!
great video! You and Elliot had me rolling! Can't wait for what comes next. Good luck!
Wait...wait wait WAIT, is THAT Elliot?! ...Like, Johnny's younger brother?

PRO TIP FOR SOMECALLMEJOHNNYREVIEWS. press the 0.5 speed button to make Johnny review the game like a drunk :)
GamerRob is going to get pissed off.
This would probably have been Super Mario Galaxy 1.5 if the Wii had had proper DLC support. For once, I’d say the Wii’s limitations played in its favour.
I love galaxy 1 and 2, enough to beat them both 100% a least.
But I'm not a fan of 3D land, it felt rushed, unorganized, short, and hardly a challenge at all. It's not BAD, but I don't think it deserves all those 10/10 reviews it gets everywhere.
That's a fair score IMO. Since posting the previous comment two years ago I did 100% 3D land.
I think it did a good job of showing the 3DS's potential being released at the end of the first year. By all means enjoyable, just didn't 'wow' me like Galaxy, I guess.
I think Galaxy 1 is better than Galaxy 2 on just the galaxy designs. Galaxy 2 had flat, linear galaxies with no change in movement/gravity to spice them up: Flip-Swap, Flashblack, Puzzle Plank, and Haunted Halls. They look nice, but they're not as memorable as Bubble Breeze, Drip Drop, Hurry-Scurry, or Sling Pod Galaxies.
Wait, what was so memorable about Bubble Breeze Galaxy? I keep forgetting about that one. Although that purple liquid is amazing to look at. And the Sling Pod Galaxy didn't really have anything to it either. It was just swinging from pod to pod...it was in the depths of space which is what the Galaxy series is all about but other than was anything special about it?
Caleb Jaaniste It's not really that they're memorable, but they are more unique in gameplay. I'm not sure; it could be my "Galaxy 1 came first and wowed me" bias.
That bias is basically what I have, but I try to avoid it. I swear before I started diving into Galaxy 2 again, the only memories I had of the games were from the first game. Maybe it was because the first game was around the internet more than the 2nd, but stuff like the music I remembered clearer than I did Galaxy 2's (Galaxy 2 still has an amazing soundtrack on par with Galaxy 1's).
In my opinion Super Mario Galaxy 2 is my all time favorite 3D Mario game.
Agree
I like the first one better
Lion Universe nah their both great
I disagree, Super Mario Galaxy 2 is not your favorite 3D Mario game.
CaptainViewtiful98 galaxy 1 is my favorite mario game and favorite platformers galaxy 2 is also up there
0:51 From what I’ve heard, it’s because it has some of the best level design in any game ever
Johnny vs. Epic Mickey?
Yaaaaaaasssssssssss
0:47 thats a lot of perfect scores.
No, NOO! Not 3D Land!
3D Land is fucking amazing.
But why? Do I just not get it?
What's wrong with 3D land?
It's fun, and feels familiar yet fresh.
I find it way too easy, which includes the other 8 worlds of padding, the levels felt too copy pasted in those 8 other worlds, bosses were pathetic, (shouldn't be surprised, really) and power-ups, though can at least be used in every level, aren't very good. Fire Flower? Eh. Boomerang Flower? Ok, but I'd prefer the Hammer Bros Suit. Tanooki Suit? Overpowered, especially when it gets its stone statue upgrade. Sure, I don't have to use it, but then 1/3 of the power-ups are gone, and I have less variety. 3D World just was so much better, as well as every 3D Mario game.
Excellent video John. This is just what I needed on a night before school.
And that sir is how I want a review to be executed! Thank you, I've been searching a channel like this since forever. Keep it going!
Oh gezz Johnny.. 3D Land will pull the fast one on you 5 times before you think your done..
I need to get this game. I blame college
Hey, do you have it after all these years?
That two player bit was hilarious. XD Was practically what me and my little brother were like when we discovered it.
This captured footage looks really goddamn good. I wish it looked this good on my HDTV
Player 2 is game breaking
Nice Review Johnny! And finally you're going to review the "3D" series: 3D Land & 3D World. Imo, 3D Land was my favorite 3d mario game on the handheld.. but it was extremely repetitive.. especially Boom Boom and Pom Pom.. Good Lord they overused those villains! lol.. Now 3D World was definitely better and the most impressive looking 3d mario game in Years. But you'll get to that game later ;)
"You're just pointing at the screen and do shit"... this coop stuff was really funny. You derserve my like, sir. :D
5:43 the only star that doesn't abide by that rule is Luigi's Purple Coin Challenge...
So expensive the Soundtrack!
+1 for profile pic.
Here now knowing that Nintendo forgot this game existed 😭😭😭
Looking forward to paying this on Super Mario 3D All Stars! Oh wait.
Jesus, that was like a five day period in between Galaxy and Galaxy 2.
I wish I had both Mario Galaxy soundtracks. *WHY*
-atleast I have the full Xenoblade Chronicles soundtrack-
*****
you'll do that?
ok
10:33 - 10:37 & That's 1 of my Video Game Ideas in a nutshell!
Welp, now I know I REALLY want to play this game
Thank you John. Thank you for not saying this was a cash grab. This game was just an expansion of Galaxy 1 and it was so expanded that it got the two. I didn't bother in choosing which one I prefer. They're both incredible games and rightfully deserve to be two of my favorite games ever and my favorite Mario games ever.
I whole hardly agree.
I really didn't think Galaxy 2 was as different from 1 as Johnny said. I think I'm just getting more and more cynical the older I get, but Galaxy 2 gave me that...underwhelming sense that makes it not feel as good to me as Galaxy 1. It's just such a smaller impact.
That and they didn't have Rosalina do anything and she's the only fucking character smarter than a ham sandwich god damnit Nintendo
Congratulations. You now know what it's like to be Ryan!
But I can kinda agree with you. Galaxy had a better story, so I think it's better. I guess this is sorta of a Pokemon XD vs Pokemom Colosseum argument
I think it's a combination of some sameness and Galaxy 1 just being a pretty tough act to follow.
Think of games like Brawl or Pokemon Gen 3 or 6. They're perfectly great games in their own right, but they follow what many consider the high point of their respective series, so some find them a bit underwhelming since they didn't make quite the same degree of advancement that the previous games did.
I had the same feeling playing SMG2. Just underwhelming and a clear step back i relation to the first one. Yeah it was a good game, but also mindbogglingly linear and the lack of theme and adventure left me fairly bored often.
It never finished the green start because at that point I was so bored with running through levels that lacked the soul and theme galaxy 1 exelled at - and I saw how uninspired a lot of them were - so I simply put down the controller and decided I could play better stuff.
That is the main thing I have against this game. It is the way it is simply an average platformer, with much less focus on setting and theme than the previous 3D games. Yoshi didn't really help as he felt more like a strange powerup than an actual companion. Rosalina has a backseat role, despite being the best character added to the Mario universe in years. The only good powerup is the cloud - and that thing is seriously overpowered in levels that have it. Speaking of levels - 95% of them are point A to point B missions before the green stars. Galaxy 1 had a fair bit of exploration built in, although SM64 did level design better than both in many ways. Even New SMB has more exploration built in.
Simon Nielsen
So Linearity is a bad thing?
I think that the soul-less comment is a bit ignorant, if the game feels underwhelming compared to the 1st...its not because it soul-less compared to the 1st. Its because it ultimately doesn't live up to the 1st game in your view, you were just expecting more than what the game offered. It makes sense, but its not entirely a flaw of the game.
You know using a flawed argument to back up a different flawed argument is still flawed, even ironically
Super Mario Galaxy 2. In my eyes, the perfect 3D platformer. I think the pacing and gameplay was overall better than the first one. I EXTREMELY love how Nintendo fixed the comet challenges. You could go to them at any time once you unlocked them rather than waiting for them to appear, pay the purple luma or having to force yourself to go even if you didn't feel like playing them yet. Plus the challenges were more varied and definitely more fun. People keep saying that this game didn't innovate as much as the first one did. Honestly (and I know I'm gonna get hate for this) that's kinda how I feel about Super Mario World.
Now don't get me wrong. I absolutely adore SMW now and forever. But I never felt it did much from what Super Mario Bros 3 did. It basically was a beefed up SMB3 with some levels having multiple exits, one big world map instead of several little ones and a different power up system (yes I'm counting Yoshi as a power up). The game was on better hardware, sure. But the gameplay really didn't change much. 2D platforming perfection? Yes. Revolutionary? Uhh...debatable.
But honestly, neither Super Mario World or Super Mario Galaxy 2 ever had to 'change the face of gaming' or anything. They just needed to be great, And by god those are two of the greatest games out there, regardless of equally great Mario games that came before. Just because Mario revolutionized the video game industry doesn't mean he has to do so every game. Game changers don't grow on trees, folks. You'll have to be patient for those to come around. And although we'll be arguing about which Mario games are better until we're dead (SMB3 vs SMW, SM64 vs SMS, SMG vs SMG2, etc.), the fact of the matter is that these are all quality games. I honestly believe that when it comes to game sequels, if you can't find a way to 'innovate' with the series yet then the best thing you can do is tweak the familiar game design and improve upon it. Even if it was already near flawless.
Just like with Super Mario Galaxy 2, I think it was Yoshi that stole the scene with Super Mario World.
Super Mario Galaxy 2 doesn't feel complete. The level design is more rigid and doesn't reward exploration like the first game did.
@@Treetops27 its not for exploration its pure challenge and fun
I like Galaxy 1 & 2 combined. And while I like World more, 3 is still an great game too.
Treyworld. U tooked the words right off my mouth. While Galaxy 2 may not innovate or fully new experience of an game as Galaxy had, it didn't matter. As long as the gameplay is still as good as it's predecessor, while adding something mechanics, expanding things or whatever new feature mixed in the same style of gameplay and making brand new & unique level designs, that's all I can ask for. If the game is just as good as it's predecessors, than I'll take it. And Galaxy 2; along with many other titles ( sequel or just expansion ), does that well.
I remember my mom never wanted to play this with me when I was little, because I always made her play "Co-Star".
Good times.
Favorite Mario game right here. Then again, I'm not too big on the older installments in the series. Galaxies for life!
I actually liked that rolling ball thing and i did that ball purple coin level on first try :-D

I would have beat this game 4 years ago... EXCEPT FOR THE GOD DAMN FACT THAT SONIC COLORS WAS ANNOUNCED! If that never happened, I'd have every main Mario game beaten. I am SO PISSED at my past self for never beating this in 2010!!!
