Has anyone gotten the ghost for the Megahammer Daredevil Star in World 3? It does absolutely nothing but walk-crouch and sleep!

I have completed the game, with all 242 stars. In final two stars, the first took 10:42.25 and 5 lives, and the second took 11:36.90 and 7 lives. For these two, I did not get any Game Overs, nor did I go back to Starship Mario to replenish lives.
I did not think the game was as challenging as everyone says, to be honest. Yes, it is more difficult than SMG, but I found only a handful of stars to be particularly frustrating.

I absolutely love this game.
My only complaint is of the Green Star challenge. It was an utterly poor choice to make them all Prankster Comets, because now you have to sit through the "Prankster Comet Detected!" message 120 times in a row.
I did also detect a few problems with fireball throws sometimes as well.

One really good addition was coins actually being used for something other than replenishing health (and at times being required to get certain stars). Since you lose all your coins when you die, it makes some parts much harder. And, I like the addition of automatically keeping Time attack records for every star, and the fact the clock becomes disabled in Speed run challenges when the star appears, unlike Ghostly Galaxy's purple coin challenge that was annoying because the timer kept going after you got all the needed coins.
Only three times the Cosmic Guide appeared for me during the first 120 stars: the Slide in Tall Trunk Galaxy, the Rock Mario level in Melty Monster Galaxy, and the Cosmic Clone star in Flip-Out Galaxy.
But what is really good about this is that I felt encouraged to play every level, unlike the original that has its "oh not this again" moments. The Purple Coin challenges felt properly done this time, other than just throwaway stars to fill up the usual 120.

I agree as well. There's virtually nothing written here that I haven't read about already.
And it's "Cosmic Guide," not "Galaxy Guide."

Kohler criticized the lack of story. I personally thought SMG's story got in the way of the game, especially when you first start out. The first 10 or 15 minutes of the game are like "I'm Rosalina this is my ship it's broke special one help help help blah blah blah." Only when you finally get to the Good Egg Galaxy the game picks up on pace. When you're trying to attract the non-gamer, making an opening only of interest to the hardcore is not a good way to get them to keep playing. Several guys I had try out the game got tired of it really early, due to the story putting everything to a halt over and over.

« on: April 16, 2010, 05:08:08 PM »Mario actually says things though like "Here we go!" and "See you next time." I think, officially, Link has only ever said "Come on," and I don't see that changing anytime soon, but, if it does, Nintendo should get Justin Bieber to voice Link.I was referring to the cutscenes, where there is actual dialogue (voice or text) rather than brief interjections. In Super Mario Sunshine and all the Paper Mario games, whenever Mario speaks to another character, his lips move but there is no speech (though the English version of SMS actually had Mario's lines edited out). In Twilight Princess, Link can be seen talking to other characters, like Ilia, but you can't hear anything there, either.

Link seems to go the same route Mario does-- mouth all dialogue, but retain the screams and grunts.

Some of the story has been revealed.
'Chico' is the Japanese 'Luma.'
There are scans here, specifically this one, that reveal a new character, Assist Luma, which seems to be the 2P character.
EDIT: The official Japanese website has some new gameplay videos.

Not only have they remixed the SMW main theme, but also its Ghost House theme for the Haunty Halls Galaxy. And Yoshi's flutter kick noise "HMMMRRRRHH" is now more of a whimper.
EDIT: Link fixed.

From Famitsu:
'This is one more stardust fairytale. Only once in a hundred years does stardust fall on the mushroom kingdom. As such, Peach invites Mario to the castle to watch. On his way over, Mario spots a mysterious light. He cautiously approaches it, and finds... a small, lost baby star. The star - ’Baby Chico’ - follows Mario to the castle, but what is waiting for them there is...'

« on: April 01, 2010, 10:08:55 PM »I always liked Super Mario World's. [...] with SMW you had this one big map and they were all connected. [...] And the way everything connected made it look like a cohesive world. Most Mario games each area just looks like some floating rectangle of land.That's what I liked most about SMW's map. The progression of the stages felt logical-- you could see that the next area will be a cave, or over the bridge will be a forest. I suppose it creates a sense of scale. NSMBWii didn't have that. The only logical bridge between two worlds was climbing up the mountain of World 6 to reach the cloudscape of World 7. I don't understand how one could go from grassland to desert to snowland to tropical beach in a seamless fashion.

From the new trailer it appears that the Mario-head planet acts kinda like a hub-- you can still run around without needing to do anything in the Observatory, but you need to step in front of the ship's wheel in order to access the worlds.
Playing through Mario Galaxy again, I'm a bit thankful for this change, as it's tiresome to go from one edge of the observatory to another over and over.
Thinking about it, I can see why the Observatory could be seen as a bland hub-- it didn't really go with the new mechanics the game offered. I mean, Peach's Castle was built to accompany the fact that moving Mario around in a third dimension was fun in itself, and Delfino Plaza was built for the use of FLUDD. The only notable thing in the Observatory that had relevancy to what the game offered was the Planet of Trials, where you could play with the gravity. Otherwise it was a glorified Peach's Castle, but there was not a lot of substance, just wide open spaces. Galaxy 2's hub-map hybrid seems to correct this problem.
