Super Mario Galaxy: The End

Yes, I beat Super Mario Galaxy in one week. This game felt very short and not much effort was put into it. Come on, they worked on this game for over a year and this game only takes a week to finish?


Also, to get to the final boss you need 60 stars. Thats not a high number. At least in Super Mario 64 you needed 70 stars but only 60? My only problem with this game is that its so short. Everything else was fine.


Cut-scenes in the game were great (specially the ending), the story that Princess Rosalina reads you in the library is just something that can even make a boy cry, most of the music in the game is great and this game really feels like the sequel to Super Mario 64. Oh and Luigi helps you throughout the game as well.


However, just like in Mario Sunshine, the final boss was a bit too easy. I didn't die ONCE in the Mario Galaxy fight. I beat the final boss in my first try. They didn't work on the final boss to much-he was too easy.


But still, even if you beat the game you can still keep playing. There's 59 more stars to find after beating the game, and there is also some other...secrets. Even though the game is short, its still worth checking out.

I'm a flying Bee! Again!

Today, in the morning, I called GameStop to see if they had Mario Galaxy even thought they said it would arrive the 13th. They said it would be here in about two hours. So I was like "ok thanks". So then, two hours later I went to GameStop and of course-Mario Galaxy was there. They had recieved the copies early.


Because I had pre-ordered Galaxy I got the coin with Mario flying and the yellow star named Tyke. The back of the coin has "SUPER MARIO GALAXY" written on it. The coin is also larger and heavier than I expected it to be! It's like...the size of seven pennies!


The game so far is sweet, cool, but it has a small problem. I get dizzy very easily in some parts of this game. Oh and the original seven Koopalings (not Koopakids, not Bowser Jr. or Baby Bowser) don't appear in the game which is very sad. But Bowser Jr. however DOES appear. Hopefully, he gets lost in the middle of nowhere in the end of the game.

Things I've noticed in the game (MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS! YOU WERE WARNED!):

-The original Super Mario 64 "Bowser Stage" music is found in this game again!
-F.L.U.D.D. from Mario Sunshine is now an enemy. Actually, look-alikes of FLUDD are enemies (these look-alikes are red and spit fire).
-There's Super Mario Bros. 3 music.
-The music that plays where you're beating Bowser up is just plain cool.
-Urchins from Super Mario World appear in this game! Well, look-alikes.
-Unagi the Eel is not in the game but look-alikes (yes, again, look-alikes) are.
-Bowser now doesn't spit fireballs. He spits METEOR fireballs.
-Princess Peach sends letters to Mario throughout the adventure even though she's very far away.
-1-Up Mushrooms don't run away from you anymore.
-Penguins from Super Mario 64 are now more common.
-There are also two black penguins in the game.
-There is a Manta Ray named Ray. Such a creative name!

Charles Martinet Called Me!

Well it was a recorder. Anyway, Charles called me to remind me to pick up Galaxy tomorrow. Sadly, he didn't know that my GameStop doesn't get the game until November 13th. Still cool. I mean seriously! Imagine Mario (Charles) calling you!


I wasn't able to take a video of the call but someone else was. Link, Link, Link!

I'm a Flying Bee!

So today I went to the GameStop somewhat near where I live. What did I do there? I sold Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge (that game sucked), I looked around for a while and then...PLAYED SUPER MARIO GALAXY!



The game is very sweet and awesome. I got to play through the Good Egg Galaxy and the Honeybee Galaxy. Mostly, the Honeybee Galaxy and I played as Bee Mario a lot. The game is very fun and there doesn't seem to be anything bad with it.



Bee Mario is very fun. You hold the A button to start flying around but you can't fly around forever. You can only fly around for about five seconds, and after that you'll have to go back to the ground. It was very fun being Bee Mario.



I explored a bunch of small planets in the Good Egg Galaxy, and then finally got launched to a star shaped planet, except its center is a star-shaped hole-a big one. And right in the middle of the whole is a star. Mario has to go around the small star-shaped planet, collecting star pieces to make a blue star thing that sends Mario flying to the star that opens a new galaxy called the Honeybee Galaxy. Then Mario takes off his hat and releases a pink star with eyes from his head. Weird.



So then, I go to the Honeybee Galaxy, get to talk to some Bee Guards, see the Queen Bee up ahead and then get the Bee Mushroom which transforms me into Bee Mario. I fly off to visit the Queen Bee. After going through various planets that is.



I finally got to meet Queen Bee and got to scrath her body and find Star Pieces all over her body as Bee Mario. It looked awkward. After scratching her body, I got launched to another planet where I found a star and three different colored Toads that look as if they're going to be major characters in the game.



I talk to the Toads and learn that Luigi is missing. Well I'm guessing this means I have to search for him right? I grab the star, but then realize that I've spent a little too much time playing the game. So I put the controller down and leave.



Seems like this game may be "Game of the Year". It may even be better than Ocarina of Time!



EDIT: Fixed spelling mistakes.

I'll be Catching the Stars November 13

Yup, thats right, I reserved Super Mario Galaxy. I couldn't resist. I've heard that the game might be too short or too easy-but I don't care. I haven't played it yet and I'm not going to let RUMORS make me not get the game.

Also this is the first time I reserve in my whole life. Please don't shoot me.
