I just found a pretty neat glitch with Yoshi. If you can jump at just the right time, you will go soaring into the air.

And here it is being used for a speed run on Hightail Falls:

[Segtendo]

Hmm, nice find.

 

[SubparSmashBrother]

I dont think thats a glitch, considering that's how you get the hidden one-up at the beginning of the level. The fact that you can use it to bypass sections of the level is just poor/awesome level design.

 

[M.K]

I've done that.
I didn't think it was a glitch, but then again, it never happened again after I jumped that one time.

 

[L/A/W]

this game is sooo fun

The normal way to get to the penguin is by staying to the left while climbing upwards and grabbing another spicy pepper. I don't think this was intended.

 

[Luigitoilet]

So how the hell do I get the Comet Medal on Flip Out Galaxy?

 

[Segtendo]

@Luigitoilet
You need to long jump and spin to get the blue platforms out. There's a ledge before the star that you long jump from to get to the blue ledges.

Anyways, I have rage. Upside Dizzy's hidden star is so **** hard. How do you burn all those boxes in 20 seconds?

 

[john!]

go to the bottom of the screen and shoot fireballs down in rows. they go through a lot of boxes.

 

[UltiMario]

You do is systematically. You go to each row and go in the middle and throw a fireball, it breaks tons of boxes at once, it seems inconvenient, but it's actually the easiest ways to do it.

 

[Leaf.]

Its funny, when I first tried, I tried working from the center. I almost had it down(but also almost gave up) and then my roomate told me to go to the edge. I called him crazy, but I tried it and it worked, second try.

Whatever.

 

[Ryu Shimazu]

Man I just heard the Bower Theme in SMG2, and went like... <_< dang they really made a good soundtrack.

 

[justaway12]

So I was going to buy the game today, since it's out in Europe today, but it turns out my parents got the game and were saving it till after my exams and I love it so far <3333

 

[Djent]

This statement is what I would say.
Slipsand's Prankster Comet cause me so much rage a while ago. My brother helped me by stopping the balls that the boss shoots.

Spoiler

I literally just stood on a stone square right in front of him and just spammed fireballs as fast as I could. They broke his projectiles in the nick of time, his bomb attacks landed on either side of me, and each flower took one of his "lives." Try this, it'll make the fight pretty LOL.

EDIT: That is, if you do it again.

 

[Djent]

I've done that.
I didn't think it was a glitch, but then again, it never happened again after I jumped that one time.

Spoiler

It may be a glitch, but I suspect it will make another level much easier. Just wait.

 

[BSP]

Saying this game is amazing is an understatement.

 

[Segtendo]

Got all the normal Stars.
Working on the Green Stars now.

 

[Yonder]

Shame 2 player still sucks, but eh, it's a small improvement over the 1st games 2P

 

[Segtendo]

True that. At least it's better that just stopping enemies/collecting Star Bits.

 

[Ryu Shimazu]

I'm almost done with world 3 and I can't stop playing. Except to play some Oot, which is fun as always. I have a question, as I've progressed to World 3, I've unlocked "Ghosts" with a certain character, and um... I can't seem t win anything by beating his records. Do I have to unlock him to beat his records, or what?

I'm thinking I can't beat ghosts yet...

 

[Neon Ness]

I thought the ghosts were just supposed to show you where to find the Comet Models...

If you're talking about the Luigi ghosts you unlock by beating the certain levels with Luigi, those are just meant to show you secrets in the level. You'll notice that he stops at the secret, and falls asleep in that spot.

 

[Lord Viper]

☆ I'll replay Galaxy and Galaxy 2 to see how fast I can complete each game... and how many times I'll avoid death. >.< ☆

☆ At least over 20 stars took more than 10 lives from my whole gameplay. ☆

When you say secret.. do you mean like... a mushroom, or a star? Because he fell asleep at a shroom, but maybe there was a star hidden.

Also, is there time trails in this game? or is there only the speed runs in a select few stages? <.< I'll tell ya, the purple coin in the platform world (World 1, optional level) drove me insane X.x

Sometimes it's the comet medal, sometimes it's just 1-ups or a bonus 1-up minigame, and sometimes it shows you the hidden green stars.

 

[Ryu Shimazu]

Interesting, thanks. Man this game is in depth. On the end of world 4 with 60ish stars :D

 

[HyperGumba]

It arrived yesterday and I've been playing like 15 hours in total until now, my star count is around 70. And I think this game is way better than the first, even if the story doesn't make more sense compared to the first one and the 2p still sucks, even if it improved a bit.

I am definitely getting this game done until next weekend, but I have the feeling that it's much longer than SMG1.

Yes, considering that there is 242 stars in this game

 

[Lord Viper]

☆ You mean to say, 242 real Power Stars instead of 120 and getting the same 120 to get 121 Power Stars in Galaxy to make 242. =P ☆

 

[john!]

No, there are 242 unique Stars. They are all different.

 

[BSP]

woah, that is pretty long. I'm still going to go for it though.

And they should've just scrapped 2p and let Luigi be fully playable from the beginning.

A true co-op

Post 800 o.o

 

[Chis]

I went to the UK launch on Friday, got a goodie bag (wasn't dressed as Mario though), got some stuff signed by Charles Martinet and shook his hand. I left my mobile at home, so no pics :<. I've got 97 stars atm and I’m enjoying it a tad more than SMG1 as it feels more diverse. Although SMG1 had a better story even for a Mario game.

 

[BSP]

I actually miss the Comet Observatory a little...Starship Mario is great, but I liked the Observatory a little more.

And that's awesome Chis.

 

[A2ZOMG]

Jesus, this game is a lot harder than it looks.

Like boss battles, they actually require quite a bit of technical skill to beat. I haven't been killed in a boss battle yet, but man, I'm not dissapointed in the difficulty of this game.

 

[Segtendo]

I miss the Observatory too.

 

[BSP]

Only died once on the copies in the chompworks. Extremely frustrating though,

Spoiler

constantly having to run away, then finding clones where you need to go

 

[BanjoKazooiePro]

Ughhh. All the stars were pretty easy with a few exceptions, but now I'm at the last star and it's proving to be pretty annoying. It's all easy except for the 4th phase and the last phase. I need a strategy or something for killing the hammer bros.

 

[Segtendo]

Anyone collecting the Green Stars, do the Galaxies that have 2 stars first. Those seem to be the easiest.
I have around 130 stars right now.

 

[justaway12]

Just finished the story, it was very, very fun <3
I really loved this game, lots more than the first
