The Green Stars were a burn out point for me. I thought SMG2 was better than 1?

★ You mean to say SMG2 is better than 1 because it's true. =P ♛
★ How far did you get before replace your file? Please tell me you didn't stop around the Purple Coins, the most part of the game. >.< ♛
I felt pretty burned out too once the green star challenge started, but I kept going because everyone was talking about the last level, and I really wanted to see the challenge.
Oddly, in Galaxy 1, I didn't really get burned out. I found Luigi's run fun, and it was nice to redo all the stars you probably wouldn't have otherwise done.

Yeah, I kinda felt burnt out when I found out about the Green Stars too. So I took a 2 week break and got back on it yesterday, lol. I cleaned out World 1 and am now at 138, and its pretty darn fun =D. I question Nintendo's effort in placing a couple of them, though...some can even be seen in the opening cutscene of a galaxy...
Some people think that its stupid that you can hear the Green Stars shine when you're close by, because that sort of takes away from finding them by yourself. They're not wrong, but sometimes you really need that audio cue. Example: 2nd Green Star on the Bowser Jr. level in World 1.

Lol the stage where the red pepper is introduced, I would've never found the green star there. (One of them, I won't spoil it) It was so ..... hard to realize.
Oh yeah. I still consider G2 a better game. It's just after playing Galaxy 1 to death and blasting through most of G2 in a week or so, I'm just burnt out before I could finish it. I'll finish it soon though, I'm sure.
And then, once you do finally realize where it's at, it takes a good number of tries to actually get to it.
Nintendo didn't slack on the difficulty of this one.

Cosmic Clones are so annoying. They do whatever action you do. Chompworks is a horrible place with them.

As long as you NEVER retrace your own path, you're fine. It's really easy to avoid them as long as you keep moving around and NEVER cross your path. Chompworks only took me one try.
The only clone level I had a lot of trouble with is that last regular Galaxy. Something like Flip switch Galaxy or something. Still, it wasn't so hard that it was irritating.

Oh my god. I hated that. The Green Stars are even worse.
How do you check your playtime? I never could find out... >_>

I remember the hardest one with the cosmic clones is the one with the luma that turns into another planet. Mostly because I had a narrow path to follow and a lot of the time my long jumps wouldn't make it all the way :/
Sooo, I finally got 120, and am starting the green stars quest. Joy~
I'm sure it's been discussed *just found the thread* but I finally have the soundtrack on my iPod and I'm in love with it :D :D how does everyone feel about the music?

where did you find it and can I download it to a laptop on a dial-up connection in .mp3 format please I am desperate DX
I'm at about 117... I'm really not looking forward to the speed run for Bowser's Galaxy Generator.

The Slider theme from SM64 made it in too.
The speed run's not so bad, well imo anyway haha.where did you find it and can I download it to a laptop on a dial-up connection in .mp3 format please I am desperate DX

I honestly just googled Super Mario Galaxy 2 soundtrack torrent and did it that way. I think if you look up Super Mario Galaxy 2 soundtrack rapidshare you may find one in a .zip format instead of torrent.

this game is great in soo many ways- it pretty much is the Director's cut of Galaxy, after all. but it's only missing one thing: Poison Mushrooms.

^ It's easy. Only hard part is a few Green Stars and the Final two stars.

You supposed to get a wii message from the game when you beat The Perfect Run.
I bought this game back in late June, and after finishing my 100% runs through 64, Sunshine, and SMG1, I started it last Sunday. I just got the 120th star and started on the Green Star quest, leaving me with 123 stars as I stop for the night.
Overall, I love SMG2 so far. I can't say it's fully lived up to the hype, but it's been a fun game, and World S was absolutely amazing. The Green Star quest isn't quite what I expected to come after the first half of the game, but it certainly seems interesting (I say that now, watch me get frustrated and loathe it in a week, haha).
I must say, though, as logical as the concerns of this game being like SMG1 DLC seemed, I find myself shying away from even trying to call one better because they play so differently. They're not all that different, but for some reason I've found that the entire environment of SMG2 feels different -- and this is coming from someone who was just playing Galaxy 1 within a week before I started Galaxy 2. I can't say I like the soundtrack as much -- call me crazy, but I haven't enjoyed much of the music except for all of the nostalgic tracks (especially Buoy Base's music, my favorite music from Galaxy 1) and the final level's music -- but I'm thoroughly impressed by Galaxy 2 overall. Even though I've gotten as far as I have in little more than a week, the difficulty has definitely been upped from Galaxy 1.
I have to applaud Nintendo on a job well done, because Galaxy 2 not only inspired me to go back and re-experience and re-evaluate the other 3D Mario adventures, but it's been a great game in and of itself so far.

Honestly one of my favorite galaxies.
My favorite galaxies include:
1) Slimy Spring Galaxy
2) Chompworks Galaxy
3) Melty Monster Galaxy
4) Cosmic Cove Galaxy
5) Rolling Coaster Galaxy

I hate the Melty Monster Galaxy
The fact that I constantly got ate by lava monsters just turned me off.

Melty Monster was a pretty cool galaxy, but the music didn't stand out that much to me.
Slimy Spring is definitely my favorite galaxy, though. It was beautiful throughout and then at the very end...I loved it.
Rolling Coaster was amazing, and so was Twisty Trials. Twisty Trials would've been PERFECT if they had played the original music from Sunshine there.

Perfect Run was also hard. No checkpoints, 1 hit only. I can't imagine anything worse...

★ Wow, that is a pretty long time. >.< ♛
★ My first run in this game took me 28:22:52, though I did die 304 times because I rush too much. XD ♛
Just curious, am I the only one who was disappointed by Rolling Coaster's music? The mission name says "Rolling Down the Rainbow Road" (or something similar), yet the music isn't that of rainbow road.

It was weird. I was expecting Rainbow Road music too lol
