I wonder if you have to beat the game to play as Luigi like in galaxy 1...

Hope not, but that's probably the case.

I agree because if I want to play as Luigi I dont want to do levels over again.

Lol, i know. It makes the game kinda dry just playing it over again, although, that would be cool if they changed the story a bit with Luigi.

The soundtrack sounds very nice. Let's hope all Nintendo games from now on have this quality of music.

OKAY, I AM NO LONGER WATCHING ANYMORE SUPER MARIO GALAXY 2 VIDEOS EXCEPT NINTENDO'S TRANSMISSIONS ON YOUTUBE. I've spoiled the intro and now I'm sad. ;-; So, I'll continue posting the short transmissions here, but no other videos.

 

[Tyeforce]

Okay, I lied about not watching anymore videos besides transmissions. XD IT'S TOO TEMPTING!! D: Anyway...

It looks like you can play as Luigi at any time in this game, instead of having to beat the entire game with Mario first!

Actually, Super Mario 64 had that first. You know what, I'm really excited that this time America gets to try a game first, not Japan.

Nice. return of the beetles in video 2!

I always wondered if those superstars would return in Super Mario Galaxy 2 as I saw their Yellow Submarine in Ricco Harbour on Super Mario Sunshine. xD

I got my Official Nintendo Magazine today with the SMG2 review.

It got a 97%! It is also explained why we see Rosalina and the Lumas.

<div class='spoiler_toggle'>Spoiler: click to toggle</div><div class="spoiler" style="display:none;">The game takes place in a parallel universe. Peach still invites Mario to the Star Festival, but a whole different set of events unfold.</div>

I see it, they both have lush environments

Also this here is proof that Wii can have amazing graphics.

I'm going to have to wait until my birthday on June 9th to get this. The extra wait is going to drive me insane!!!

- the big Luma is known as 'Lubba'
- Lubba needs power starts to fuel the ship, which Bowser has stolen...alongside Peach
- What does Lubba say when he transforms the planet into Spaceship Mario? "Nice spaceship, huh? More like a FACEship!"

- the tree slide that appears in some trailers is a star available in TreeTrunk Galaxy
- Expect more Yoshi action than was had in New Super Mario Bros. Wii

They're not even bigger than an asteroid. Trust me, if I was making the game I would've made the planets even bigger.
