it looked to me that bowser had died after the fight as well. but from what came afterwords, i think it's clear that he and all the other baddies will live to kidnap the princess again.
Got back in town, powered through the last three levels of Halo 3 last night and this afternoon and fired up Mario Galaxy this evening.
What an incredible game. Only 5 stars in, and I'm already blown away. It's just flat out FUN. Graphics aren't shabby either, wasn't all that jarring (some jaggies aside) going from playing Halo 3 in glorious HD for several hours to Mario. So nice to see a Wii game that finally looks a good bit better than a GC game.
Level design has already been great. I was skeptical of the little planets, but it's a blast to shoot from planet to planet as you never know what's around the corner.
Having costumes back is great as well, Bee Mario is fun to play around with.
Can't wait to play some more, probably fire it up again tonight.

[quote name='buttle']i eventually found a somewhat stable route though that mess to get my 100. but it took me a long while.[/QUOTE]
Did you go clockwise or counter clockwise? The objective itself isn't hard. It's just the crazy jumps that you have to time just right so that you don't fall into the dark matter or slip on the flipping platforms.

120 star spoiler:
Something else I noticed with Luigi today that doesn't happen with Mario. Apparently, when you're underwater with Luigi each spin you perform sucks about 1/16th of your air supply. I went back and checked with Mario, because I did not recall it happening and I was right, underwater spins with Mario do not lose air. Did anyone else notice this and think it's a little strange? Spinning was just about the only redeeming quality of swimming only to have it slightly crippled with Luigi.

Take the ball rolling stages verrrryyyy slooooowwlllyyy. My son tried it about 10 times and got frustrated. I did it for him first time through, but it looked like I wasn't even moving sometimes because I was inching along.
BTW, we "finished" it today (at 60 star minimum). Great game. The 2-player co-op is genius, and I dare say my son could not have finished it without me holding a few Bullet Bills at bay in various stages.

i went clockwise. mostly because i died less often on the left side. and i was able to get the 1up before doing the more dangerous jumps. and also because i was able to hop over to that left platform without stepping on too many of the green tiles i wanted for my return trip.

interesting.
usually with luigi he's more difficult to control but he's got better abilities. i wonder if he's got some sort of underwater advantage to counter losing air.

After playing it and getting to around 90 stars, I dont really think it deserves to be the highest rated game of all time. It's fun, but I've had more fun with a lot of other games, and I can't see myself wanting to replay it again for a couple years. I don't want to bother getting the rest of the stars since they're mostly time trials and collect the coins, and the secret galaxy you unlock for getting every star in the game isn't even worth it.

I finally started this game yesterday. I'm about 28 stars in and I really like it.
I absolutely hated Mario 64, so I'm really happy with Super Mario Galaxy. The boss fights in this game are way fun.
I absolutely hated Mario 64, so I'm really happy with Super Mario Galaxy. The boss fights in this game are way fun.
Yeah, the boss fights are great.
The other thing I like is that getting different stars sends you on different routes through the galaxies.
Rather than just going back to the same world and doing some new race, fetch quest, etc. like in Mario 64 and Sunshine (and most 3D platformers) thus far it seems like most stars send you through totally different paths, new planets etc.
I love the variety of that, makes it feel more like the old 2D mario games.
Could change as I'm not far in, but love that aspect of the game thus far.

Finished it a couple nights ago with 70-someodd stars. Good ending. Don't really feel like going for the full 120, though.
I had 69 stars when I beat Bower's Dark Matter (boss stage of bedroom dome), and the one-eyed chick asked if I wanted to rescue Peach, so I did. Now it's asking if I want to save, and I'm not sure if I should. I'm wondering if I'd be missing any stage or special ending by beating the game "early" (I never made it to the engine dome). It won't let me continue without saving (if you say no, it asks if you want to quit without saving instead of going back into the game).
Still trying to avoid any spoilers so I'm not reading any of the previous pages.

This is the deal (spoilers are in increasing order, just so you don't spoil too much if you dont' want to)
1:
The game does not end after you defeat Bowser. It doesn't "continue" either, not in a direct sense - beating the game clears a star, but coming back allows to beat everything else in the game.
2:
Actually, defeating Bowser does unlock one particularly "big thing" and perhaps a few others, though I don't know how many of those 69 stars are GREAT stars...
3: (EXPLAINS THE MEANING OF 2)
Purple Comets become available, if you've cleared the GATEWAY galaxy (first one that you played) then you will know what I mean.
4:
You need all 120 stars to unlock the rest of the game.
5: (BIG ONE, extension from 4, and 4 is possibly a safe one)
120 stars unlock Luigi!
6: (Clarification of 5, if you don't want to know, don't read)
The game forces you to beat Bowser for the second time to make Luigi available.

I'm pretty certain he meant Grand Stars, not GREAT stars. Grand Stars are the Stars you get when you beat Bowser Jr or Bowser. The big stars. There's a different song to them and everything..:lol:
2.
After you collect the GREAT Grand Star from the Engine Room.. the Garden Area (last dome) opens up. The Gateway galaxy is the way to get here. Basically, there's a floating island..and that has the Gateway galaxy on it..and then that also takes you to the Garden Area dome.

Man, I'm sorry about that 5th spoiler - not cool. I should have written a warning about that. Stain on me, man... Apologies and all, this sucks.

I played the game in the most thorough, least rushing way. I did not beat the boss of any of the domes until I was done with everything prior to it (short of only three secret stars that I've missed), and I've collected most everything until I beat the game for the first time. Because of that, I don't know if certain places become unlocked based on how many domes you've beaten, or how many stars you have gotten overall. It could be a coincidence that I got my last "Boss Level Star - Grand, Great, whatever" and reached the necessary amount to unlock the you know what. Sorry.

Yeah, I meant the "cleared the world" stars - the next dome is not unlocked until you collect it...
2.
The Gateway is unlocked upon your successful completion of the Engine Room. I don't know if it requires you to have a certain number of stars or not. It's a little island that is on the way to the Garden (top room of the "overworld" - sorry if my lingo isn't up to par). Inside thereof, there should be a purple coin - collecting game, and a very VERY impressive powerup.

My buddy attended Nintendo World in NYC whenever, and he came back from Houston (Thanksgiving and all) and brought back the presents that he got us - I totally forgot that one mention that he made on the phone with me from NYC that he "got me something awesome."
Toad and Peach figurines - Toad for me, and Peach for my wife. They look amazingly awesome. And after that, he -apologized- that Mario wasn't available.
Man, that kind of shit is awesome, and makes my home a better place! My friends own.

Finally completed the game last night (120 stars)
Great game. I don't think it's "HIGHEST RATED" (or even second)..but it's up there. Most of the game was fun, but there were a handful of stars that just weren't fun. ..they were just were annoying!
I don't know if I'll be completing the game again anytime soon...but I will get around to it.

There are some timed levels with only 100 purple coins in them -- so you have to get ALL the coins and return to the spawn point of the star within the time allotted.

It's another galaxy. Would have exited me, but the exact galaxy that you get disappoints me.
The controls for throwing turtle shells are a bit sucky. Made the 2nd bowser jr. fight unnecessarily elongated as it was hard to throw straight.
They should have made it just aim and press B to throw it at that spot.
But VERY minor nit pick and a phenomenal game.
I really liked the boss battle before that one in the galaxy with the exploding ghosts. That was tons of fun!
