Oh boy... I got three replies to write
I think Snipper is a fellow Mario Sunshine fan, so that makes him one of my favorite people.
Yes, I do like mario sunshine more then galexy. It has a funner cleaner and brighter aspect thatt galexy didn't nail. You know those hidden little cave matches where you have to jump floating blocks in mid air to get the star at the end, that is basically all that galexy is!
Look, the upgrades to FLUDD were great, you didn't loose them like you lose the bee suit, ice/fire flower, and boo custom in galexy. Instead they make it run on water, making you conserve your power up, also you could replenish it in a commen pocket of water! Think of the bee suit with not a timer, but a counter, every sec. you fly, the counter goes down by one, that way you have to conserve, or 15 fire balls for each fire flower for example too. Also, Sunshine was just as brillant with it's bosses. Yes, you could fight a dumb skeliton shark with homing missles in galexy, but the eel level in sunshine was HUGE, HARD, and even funny. And how is defeating a Robot bowser on a rollor coster with missles not fun?!?!
P.S. Love your work pheonix XD
I can finally realize my dream of jettisoning Yoshi into the dark recesses of space.
I WILL buy this game to watch a sacrificed yoshi get crushed in a black hole
Snipper64 actually brought up something that's been bugging me for a few Mario games now: why doesn't Nintendo let you pick your stars as you go while in the levels? I loved that aspect of Mario 64, where you could select one star; wander around; and accidentally find another more interesting star along the way. They jetissoned that for Mario Sunshine and Mario Galaxy, and it's a real shame...it offered a level of freedom I miss in these later games, not to mention cut down on the repetition of "select a star; chase the star; grab the star; kick out to the hub world; select a star...". Exploration might not be what the Mario games are all about, but it certainly doesn't hurt the experience and can make the more formulaic parts of the game more tolerable.
You are Totaly right! Remember that first snow level for example in SM64? The first star was the slide, but I said F that, and I Grabbed the baby pengrin and gave it back to the mother (FACT: After she gives you the star, you can grab her baby, bring it to the side of a cliff, and throw it over, you know you want too...). I could also take the slide and take the hidden path and get the hidden star first. "Have it your way XD"

Finally, I must admit, in case you didn't watch the Galexy 2 vid closely, mario gets a new weapon in this one, a drill he can use too... err.... drill... He can go right through planets like this too! There is even a boss you can't get close too, so you have to drill on the other side of the planet and pop up under it and drill his as... errr... butt. That looks real cool!
