5. [60 FPS] Spiny Control - Yoshi Star Galaxy - Super Mario Galaxy 2

Playlist:    • [60 FPS] Super Mario Galaxy 2 (No Commentary)  

How cool would it be to have a remote control spiny? ...no? Fine, then you're not invited to my Spiny Battles!

These little guys give me more trouble than I'd figure! I think it's because I forget there's a pause between tongue snatches for Yoshi so I run into a spiny as I try to grab it after hitting it once. Also there's a big-bad Lakitu boss here! His purple cloud looks so menacing!

Super Mario Galaxy 2! Woo-hoo~!

Well, um. Uh. I basically already said everything I'd say about this game in the description I gave for the first Mario Galaxy series I recorded. You can read it in the description here:

   • 1. [60 FPS] Title & Prologue - Super Mario...  

Pretty much this is just... more! More galaxy romping. More goomba stomping! More Galaxy! Though it may feel a wee bit different in presentation. Nintendo (Shiggy?) decided to return back to the typical Mario overworld map for this, and dropped the central hub deal. Kinda. I mean, you can run around a weird faceship that the friends you meet along your travels congregate and stuff. And the backgrounds for the map areas are beautiful. But the central progression is very plain.

Oh, also they seem to have dropped all knowledge of the first game. This is like an alternate universe Mario Galaxy, which actually fits in the Galaxy continuum if you've seen the end of the first! It bears mention that Rosalina is NOT a central figure in this game, which is kinda disappointing. Instead you get a weird fat luma guy-thing. He's pretty chill. Yoshi's here too, which is kinda cool.

If you liked the first, this'll be your cup of tea! (Whee-hee~!)
