Super Mario Galaxy 2

Great!

Spoiler: Mario defeats Bowser, rescues Peach, possibly eats some cake before the next kidnapping. Read Review

Super Mario Galaxy 2, the sequel to the smash-hit galaxy-hopping original game, includes the amazing gravity-defying, physics-based exploration from the first game, but is loaded with entirely new galaxies and features to challenge and delight players.

On some stages, Mario can pair up with his dinosaur buddy Yoshi and use his tongue to grab items and spit them back at enemies. Players can also have fun with new items such as a drill that lets our hero tunnel through solid rock.

How a Super Mario Galaxy 2 Level is Born

Wii Features | Jun 11, 2010

Remember the days when the only things Mario had to worry about were a few barrels and a pissed-off ape?

Super Mario Galaxy 2 Review

Wii Reviews | May 26, 2010

At this point, the Mario franchise is about as monolithic and well-known as Star Wars or James Bond. The big difference here: Its caretakers haven't managed to screw it up yet. Small wonder, as Mario's done pretty much the same damn thing for at least a good dozen games now, with the lens pulled back a little further for each go-round. Here, for the second time, we're dealing with an entire Mario galaxy... and if that's not enough to give a guy a big head, the plucky plumber's Mario-noggin-shaped spaceship makes it literally so.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 Roundtable

Wii News | Feb 25, 2010

A new Mario game (we're talking real Mario games, not Mario Party 17) is always a big deal, so the announcement that we'd be getting a sequel to one of the Wii's biggest game was the talk of E3. When we found out that Nintendo would finally be showing Super Mario Galaxy 2 at an exclusive event this week in San Francisco, we were pleased as well-cared-for Pikmin. Here's what we thought.

Features

  • Mario collects stars as he travels from galaxy to galaxy. Every level is new, but the game retains the charm, sense of wonder and beauty in line with Mario’s history. Mario works his way through the various levels, sometimes upside-down, sometimes floating from place to place.
  • On some stages, Mario can find an egg, smash it open and hop onto the back of Yoshi. Yoshi can use his tongue to grab items and shoot them back at enemies, or to snag attach points and swing across chasms.
  • Yoshi has an interesting diet. When he eats a Dash Pepper, he gets so hot and frenzied he can run up steep inclines and vertical walls. When he eats a Blimp Fruit, he inflates like a balloon and floats to new heights.
  • New power-ups include a drill that Mario uses to tunnel through the planet’s surface all the way to the other side of a planet.
  • Skilled players will want to collect new Comet Metals, which will unlock harder levels with even more challenges.
