Yeah, more areas to explore would have been great. One thing I loved about Sunshine was the ability to run around and explore (especially in areas like noki bay, one of my favorites).

The areas were all really fun and each had a good set of levels.

The thing I didn't like about galaxy was that 64 had a fairly huge area to explore (and the high amount of levels) making it the most balanced. Sunshine you could explore a lot but it lacked levels.

Galaxy there wasn't really a lot to explore. Each level lead to new parts sure but it was pretty linear in where you can go (however it had the most areas of all the 3D plats if I'm not wrong).

All the people *****ing about a direct sequel not implementing new gameplay mechanics should take a quick reminder of Super Mario Bros. 2 and 3.

More of the same is not a bad thing when "the same" is good. Galaxy was awesome, and Galaxy 2 seems to be more of that awesome. That is a good thing, like going for seconds after having a delicious meal.

For those of you who haven't played Sunshine you should check out the cutscenes on youtube. Sunshine had fantastically animated and fully voiced cutscenes. Imagine my dissapointment when Galaxy went back to text bubbles.
Are you serious? The cutscenes in Sunshine were terrible, easily the worst part of the game. The voice acting came right out of an annoying children's cartoon and everyone in the world except you was a dip**** (EVERY single person on Delfino) or an ******* (Baby Bowser). I thank Christ they stopped trying to pay attention to story in Galaxy.

Mario Sunshine wasn't bad...The graphics were amazing and so was the gameplay...I loved the hotel level where I would just play on the beach most of the time

I hope you're referring to the fact that the gameplay was COMPLETELY different and it wasn't very good.
QFF-- Quoted for Falseness

Mario Bros. 2 was AWESOME, even if it diverged insanely from the other games.

SMB2 never took place...It was just an odd spinoff adding 3 more playable characters...It was a decent game

Mario is Missing is still the worst Mario game to date...

lol? That happened like 10 pages ago. No one is complaining about it being a direct sequel anymore >_>

Also, new gameplay already HAS been implemented through yoshi.

Meh, I loved the cutscenes. They looked really good and brought a better feel of intimidation (in the case of mecha-bowser) and showed the character's a lot better.

Just take this one (beginning and end) for example. It really helped the feel of a giant robot. If this was not included it would be just like the galaxy bosses. You go up, see them pop up, fight and get a star.

Even bowsers fight (in galaxy) was just you running up to him, him talking for a couple seconds and the fight starting link to fight (@ 3:40).

I was so pissed when I played the entire Luigi portion of SMG and found that nothing was different besides Luigi, even the part where you find Luigi was the same, and you refer to him as the "other me", point is, I hope they don't do something so lazy and stupid again just for a level that isn't even worth playing.

How do you get pissed off of playing Luigi, IT'S FREAKEN LUIGI!!! Also, the Cosmic Comet is more challenging to complete than Mario's Cosmic Comet. But other than that, you are right that they should had change some levels when playing Luigi instead of little edits, but you do have to admit, it is enjoying to play Luigi in that game.

It was nice being Luigi, but Mario should have taken Luigi's place when you find him. That seems obvious to me. Also, having it be Daisy that you saved, would have been completely awesome, and would give Daisy a reason to continue to exist besides being in sports games.

Mario Hotel? ever heard of it...Was it one of those ****y cd-i games like the Zelda one?
Yes it was. Go to youtube and search youtube poop. You'll probably find millions of videos based on or using Hotel Mario cutscenes.

I do believe one of the cosmic comet stars in the melty molten galaxy is different for Mario than Luigi. But it really is a small edit.

I was kind of surprised that you have to save Luigi as Luigi. I was kind of expecting rescue Mario missions.

Strange, I thought all of them were different in Luigi's part of the game since the Cosmic version of Luigi will take most of the shortcuts that the Cosmic Mario didn't take. And Luigi and Luigi idea was awesome. :p

If there were two Luigi's, then were did the copy go? O_o
That is a great question that I don't even know, where did the copy go? XD

Replaying Mario Galaxy made me remember that the last battle theme was the most epic sound track in Mario, I hope they return that song on some boss. Also Flying Mario didn't get any action on the first Galaxy except on one stage, so I'm hoping they return that power and have a good amount of stages that you can use that on.

Cruisin in my Jeep.. I wish.
SMG2 looks amazing, i cant wait for it. the first game was truly one of the funnest games ive ever played. im extremely excited about a sequel but yet im disappointed at the same time.

cause since Super Mario 64 came out on the N64, theres always been some huge change in every major mario game.

super mario 64 was in 3D for the first time
super mario sunshine had FLUDD in it and featured the delfino people for the first time
super mario galaxy redefined the whole platform genre by applying real planet like conditions when walking/running on a planet but making the planet really small so mario is upsidedown when at the bottom of the planet.
then super mario galaxy 2 is the next major mario game. its just like SMG but now with yoshi. dont get me wrong, i cant wait but i was expecting another one of those huge changes.

I hope they make mario as fast as he could get in 64, or at least give him more moves. It really pissed me off when I realized not how easy it is, but how the game prevented you from being good at it by being slow as hell.

He runs nearly the same pace, and the fact that you can use long jumps to go faster, you should even complain about the speed of Mario. -_-;

No

Mario should NOT have taken Luigi's place. Can you imagine Mario being afraid of Boos. Mario kicks *** and takes name. Though you are right that it should have been Daisy instead of Peach.

Well, if not Mario, perhaps, then someone other than Luigi again. Double Luigi is just a little weird. Mario's just the most obvious choice, but maybe there's someone else? No one comes to mind, but whatever.

As for Mario's speed, it was fine in SMG. And he had the moves he needed. All I needed to be happy were wall kicks and the flip jump when he stops and turns. I love that one.

Am I serious? Absolutely. You can complain about the voice acting all you want but it was a lot better than Galaxy's "this is what the boss looks like! kill it!" or "this is supposed to be a touching moment. Read this!". Sunshine's story is still simple compared to most games and it never got in the way of enjoying the game.

Most fans are not very use to Mario characters talking in their games but a few words. Games like Star Fox yes, but Mario characters is a no for some.

I've got an idea for Luigi, and rescuing Luigi, what we can do to replace it.

As much of a copout as it is to replace something with a Toad, make it a Toad whose considered Luigi's "#1 Fan", just so happens that this guy's scared of Boos as well. He'd even wear a Luigi hat on his head too. ♥ It'd be really cute, and help make Mario Galaxy 2 for Luigi even better. Double Luigi isn't a big deal, but the minor attention to details and expansion always make an experience more memorable. :D

I'm replaying Super Mario Galaxy now. I'm trying to go through it without thinking I have to like it just because it's a new Mario game.
It's working, but I still love the game. The gameplay, the level design, the platforming elements, the music, everything is THERE and it's SPECTACULAR. I can't believe the people who say this game is overrated.
Yes I like Mario, that doesn't make me a fanboy. I don't go crazy whenever Miyamoto thinks of a new game, but I do enjoy his games greatly, and this one DEFINITELY lives up to it's hype. For sure, no doubt about it.
I cannot WAIT until Galaxy 2 so I can have more of this magical glory.

They haven't confirmed if Luigi's playable or not but he'll probably be. Your idea is good but if they do double Luigis again, they need to make the dialogue between them funnier. It was too bland whenever they talked to each other. They should throw in a couple a jokes here and there.

Or can jokes only be used for the Mario & Luigi RPG series? /sarcasm

I can't wait to see what Galaxy that would make me lose 20 lives like Sling Pod Galaxy, Loopdeeswoop Galaxy, Ghostly Galaxy Dare Devil & Purple Comet, and Bubble Blast Galaxy, ah good times. XD

Also did anyone mention about more Flying Mario stages? I really like his custom and his power.
