Super Mario Galaxy 2 Wii
Amazon.com Product Description
Super Mario Galaxy 2 is an action platformer for Wii that continues the space-based fun begun by the 2007 runaway hit Super Mario Galaxy. Featuring out-of-this-world platforming across a wide array of unique planets and space environments, players can go it alone as Mario or team up with his old buddy Yoshi as they platform and puzzle-solve to their hearts content. Additional key features include new and returning power-ups, special power-up abilities when teamed with Yoshi and the new drill mechanic that allows Mario burrow into and through planets. Team up with Yoshi for space-based platforming fun in Super Mario Galaxy 2.

Like its predecessor, Super Mario Galaxy 2 is an action platformer set in space. Platforming takes place between worlds, known as galaxies. Mario can move between smaller examples of these by jumping. He can also embark on longer jaunts via a small steerable planet in the shape of Mario's head, but as a new twist he can also move into and through planets as well using the new drill mechanism. This allows for both a new direction in action as well as an opening to problem-solving and coin collection. Players can expect the return of a variety of powerups from the original game including Bee and Boo Mushrooms, but also many that are new varieties including the Rock Mushroom that temporarily turns Mario into a rock that can smash through barriers. Another key change to gameplay is the ability for Mario to join with his pal Yoshi. Once Mario hatches Yoshi from his egg he can ride him through a variety of scenarios. Yoshi's particular reaction to specific powerups makes for fun with gravity. For example, when Yoshi eats a "Dash Pepper" he is able to move at hyper speed allowing the pair to literally run up the side of walls. Also, after eating a Blimp Fruit power-up Yoshi can swells up and floats like a blimp, taking Mario with him to areas of the game otherwise unreachable. Key Game 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 powerups 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.

 The princess needs better security July 29, 2010

I'll try to keep this short and sweet because let's be honest, if you're even thinking of buying this game and are reading reviews for it, you probably already know something about Mario games and Nintendo - blah blah blah. Plus, it's all been said before.
That's what makes this a 5 star game in my book. I'm not a game geek though I do like some of them and the ones I'm guaranteed to love? Mario. You always know, in general, what kind of game you will get. The graphics keep improving. For uncoordinated fools like me who do want some fun game play that isn't TOO easy but also isn't TOO tough? This is perfect. I really AM uncoordinated in just about every way - hand issues, vision issues, etc. and yes that translates to issues when playing games, it's probably why I'm not much of a game geek. There were a few levels that I had real troubles with, which I found odd for a Mario game - usually in the past games after several tries phew whatever wasn't working out would fall into place for me, even it was clearly just in the nick of time and probably a one time fluke I'd likely never repeat again anytime soon even if I tried. I finally decided "it's just me" so I asked my boyfriend "hey try this level" and he decided "it's not just you". Then I looked at some tip sites which basically said I was doing things right and their advice was just it's tough, good luck. So this is a bit tougher than some prior games. That's okay though, it made it even funner in the end as it made the gameplay last a bit longer than the prior games.
Besides the typical Mario themes you'd expect there is also real nostalgia here - you'll return to a few levels from Mario games of the past.

My son has had this game for about 3 months now and loves it better than any of his other games. He liked Mario GAlaxy and this one is even better than the first. Quite simply, you will not be disappointed with this game. It has so many levels and challenges that it will entertain for days and days.

Excellent game with varying challenges and levels of gaming. Would recommend to all who have played the Super Mario series. For the beginners, there are some built in help modes that allow you to learn on the fly.
 Good Game for a Mario Fan! July 23, 2010

My 6-yr-old received this game for his birthday - he loves it! It would be nice if the 2nd player did more than collect stars, but for 1 player it is a fun game. He is able to work his way through the levels without them being way too hard for his age.
Great game for preschoolers! July 21, 2010
