0  Super Mario Galaxy 2 Shooting Past Original Thu, Apr 22nd, 2010, 12:25 pm (EST) BY SHAWN When Nintendo first announced the sequel to the hugely successful Super Mario Galaxy, cleverly-titled Super Mario Galaxy 2, at E3 2009, many gamers were surprised as up until now, each new console Mario title had been on the system that followed the previous title. With news that the game would play very similarly to the original, most wondered if this was a sign that the company's successful console was beginning to fall on hard times and needed to be propped up by its biggest titles. From what has currently been revealed about the game, this couldn't be farther from the truth. The original Super Mario Galaxy was set in outer space, where Mario traveled from galaxy to galaxy in order to collect Power Stars, which could be obtained by solving puzzles or defeating enemies, and sometimes even huge bosses. The highlight of the game came in the new physics system, which revolved around a unique feature of giving every celestial object its own gravitational force, allowing the player to completely circumnavigate the planets, walking either sideways like normal or even upside down. This also applied to jumping from planet to planet, which was one of the prime factors used in a number of the game's most tricky and difficult puzzles. More »
