I just got 120 stars. The last 3 were doozies.

I agree, the under water controls are terrible unless you have a turtle shell.

Just beat the game with 120 stars. Fun ride, not sure when I'll come back for more.

You won't. Nintendo games have zero lasting appeal. Just ask GameSpot.

Best game I've played in years. :] 'Beaten' it, still have a bazillion stars to get. God, the creativity in this game is mind blowing.

So do I! That's my favorite voice clips for the toads. I like their "yahooo!!!!11oneoneexclamation point" when you spin near them too.

So I finally got Luigi's purple coins and I have no idea where the annoying people saying this game is easy come from.

Were the pointing issues a big concern?

Kairon · « **Reply #958 on:** December 02, 2007, 01:23:08 PM »

The creativity in this game just emphasizes how much I felt let down by Zelda: TP.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #959 on:** December 02, 2007, 01:38:43 PM »

I'm at 50 something stars and just finished the Frozen Flame planet.
I only have two of the green stars, and I still have an untouched planet and a boss level left in the "Bedroom" area.

How am I doing so far?

I kinda feel the same way. Don't get me wrong, though. I loved TP. The story and characters were great and I enjoyed playing it with S_B last Christmas but it felt too "by the book" at times. Hopefully the Wii exclusive Zelda will be very creative and will do to the Zelda series what Galaxy did to the Mario series.

I was afraid I was going too fast into the game, and that after Bowser's final battle the rest of the stars were going to be collecthatons. But far from it, even if you have already open all galaxies, (and I think you haven't opened them all) the extra challenges are incredibly creative and fresh, and unique! even if they take place in the same worlds and use the same premise the comets. Its far from being another blue coin collection like in Sunshine, and I love Sunshine, but Galaxy makes it look awful. Galaxy makes most games look awful anyway.

Holy *#$% Luigi's purple coins is hard, I die 20~time in row. Why must the star appearing on the other side of the map

.

DAaaMan64 · « **Reply #963 on:** December 02, 2007, 02:17:03 PM »

I kinda prefer just collecting 8 blue coins that I could collect while I am doing other stars. :/

Dirk Temporo · « **Reply #964 on:** December 02, 2007, 02:17:37 PM »

Ha. I finally picked up this game today only to discover my mom bought it for me for Christmas. I'm returning the one I bought, and she's just giving me the game now.

Well, I'm at 62 stars, all I have left of the lower galaxies[The Bedroom] is the last boss level, and I've already collected all 3 green stars which opened up 3 more challenges. I'm pretty sure I haven't moved on from any galaxy w/o first collecting all the stars that I could find.

I think I'm being very thorough and I'm in no rush to actually beat the game, I just want to make sure I don't miss anything the first time around cause having to backtrack later is not something I'm too fond of.

IceCold · « **Reply #966 on:** December 02, 2007, 05:59:50 PM »

Yeah, I don't know why everyone went straight to Bowser after getting 60 stars - I waited until I was at 100 something. It's so much better that way.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #967 on:** December 02, 2007, 08:39:23 PM »

I've beaten every main-line mario game @ 100% completion except SMB2, SMB The Lost Levels & SMS.
I've never owned SMB2(soon to own on VC), I've never played The Lost Level until I purchased it on VC and I quit SMS (lost interest about 1/2 way through).

I wanna make sure I get the full experience on the first time play through, and I also want to make the experience last as long as possible, like SM64.
If I can help it Bowser will be the very last star I need to collect. I want this game to last as long as it is still fun to play, so Bowser will probably be the last thing I attempt to complete.

optimisticlimbo · « **Reply #968 on:** December 03, 2007, 12:14:21 AM »

I 'beat' the game at 60 stars, but I felt the the other 60 have been like a whole new game. The difficulty and challenge is greater than the first 60 stars. 3 more to go tonight.

Donutt007 · « **Reply #969 on:** December 03, 2007, 01:27:13 AM »

So I've been trying to get my girl into games, but she just doesn't enjoy them. Sure she plays WiiSports and Big Brain Academy every now and then, but after about 20 minutes shes bored and wants to do something else. So she bought my SMG and I've been playing it every day having a blast.

Finally yesterday she wants to check it out. I put her on one of the easier levels, she plays it, has fun and wants to play another level. After playing for about three levels she asks me if it's saving it as her game, I tell her no it's on mine, so she wants to start her own save file.

I remember reading about the 2 player mode and decided to check it out and it's really a lot of fun. She'll be running around and a bullet bill will come after her and she'll freak out and yell "Stop him for me!". So all in all I think she spent around 3 hours playing the game.

The 2 player mode is great. It's perfect for a gamer/non gamer combination either way you do it.

And I don't understand this, why? the last level is awesome but it doesn't make the other levels less awesome.

Stogi · « **Reply #971 on:** December 03, 2007, 06:46:03 AM »

The last level IS INCREDIBLY AWESOME.

I almost sh!t myself with anxiety.

Yeah, Nintendo finally nails it after the really awkward implementation in WW. Credit should be given for not giving up on an idea despite a poor first showing.

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #973 on:** December 03, 2007, 07:05:48 AM »

The final level is crazy, though I found it isn't nearly as challenging as when I first tried it so it isn't CHEAP. Personally I think it is harder than the final level in SM64.

Really I didn't think they "nailed it." I'd say 2 player mode in Galaxy is more like 1.5 player mode. Player 2 barely has a function. A much better 2 player mode would've been some sort of cooperative star getting where one person is Mario and the other is Luigi. The concept they came up with is ok, and certainly far from bad, but nowhere near ideal or the best it could be.
