As with every Friday, we're doomed to that question that must be asked: what are you playing? Are you going to be gathering up stars or will you be stacking blocks? Are you planning on playing something else?

I've been VERY busy with work, and other games, but I have managed to get about the same.

Ditto. Just got my 36th Star. I am getting all three of the main stars at least in each level before moving on to the next level, I don't know how many people are playing it that way. I always have enough to unlock each level in the next galaxy I go to from the beginning but of course I don't do that. I have been working a lot too you see and I also got Ghost Squad, Smarty Pants, Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles (which me and my gf have almost beaten except the last two single-player wesker chapters), link's crossbow training, and rented 'batallion wars ii' and 'soulcalibur legends'. Plus I've been playing geometry wars galaxies on DS. So now you know the REST of the story lol.

I have about 80 stars. I'm still working on getting them all so I can play as Luigi.

It took me a little under two weeks to get all 120 stars. (I'm not an uber-gamer.) At this point I'm limiting my Luigi playing to one star (or maybe two) a day so that I take more time to throughly look at everything in the game (graphics, etc.) and so that I don't get sucked into playing for hours a day.
I suppose I should go back to Twilight Princess and attempt to finish it. And I'd kinda like to pick up Zack and Wiki at some point, but there's no rush. I need to take a break from my Wii and be productive.

Well, not sure how much I'll be playing in the coming days. Stupid college finals. I haven't even played that much in the last week even except for breaks from working on schoolwork. Had some crazy projects due that required me to not be in my dorm.
If I were to play some as a break in between studying, it would be Need for Speed Carbon. I really enjoy that game.
Slight spoiler, don't read if you don't want to.
As for Galaxy, I collected all 120 stars with Mario over Thanksgiving break, including the one after you beat Bowser. I was a little lax over Thanksgiving. Haven't started with Luigi, and probably won't until Christmas break, or 5 days from now. Sweet, sweet month off.

I'm at about 52-54 - don't remember exactly. I have been doing the same as troy, but I think I'm going to make a bee-line for the end now just to finish it. I'll probably take a break and then come back to get the other 60 stars.

I have 44 stars at this point with a little number listed on the main platform where Roslyn is telling me how many more I need to get to the Princess by travelling. I was doing every stage with the main stars at first and decided to skip around a bit. It looks like to get the stars needed, I have to do all the comet stars as well, but we shall see. I also just opened BWii2 last night and played that for about an hour. I was kind of disappointed after such a short time that it stated I was 15% complete already.

@Troy
That's exactly how I played it. It was great to just open every galaxy up at the start of a new area.

Oh, also I need to spend time cleaning up all the obscenities cluttering my floor that came out of my mouth during Luigi's Purple Coins. The funny thing is that 20 seconds after finally completing that level I was thinking "that actually wasn't that hard."

I've got to about 85 stars as Mario. I'm concentrating on Mercury Meltdown Revolution now (which for the benefit of anyone in the UK I just picked up for a bargain £13 from Amazon) but I'm sure I'll come back to Galaxy soon. I'm mainly trying to stretch out the Mario pleasure over a longer period of time!

All 120 Stars. No way I'm doing that ALL OVER AGAIN.

Yeah, I skipped around a lot. Was more enjoyable that way. And I left most of the comets until the end. For some reason the first Cosmic Mario caused me nothing but grief. I went back to it much later and found it to be a breeze.

I only have 5. In my defense I wasn't supposed to start playing until the girlfriend gets back into town. Had to get a taste though...
Until then I have to get my fill of the games I won't get to play when she's here (Mass Effect, COD4, etc.)

i've got 12 with luigi. it's going slow because i'm painstaking to collect every coin. but i stopped when i got metroid; i'll go back to SMG afterward if i don't have a new game by then.

I'm working my way through the campaign mode of MoH:H2 still. According to the stats I'm at 45% complete right now. I'm just about to enter the "Base" area. I've been enjoying it with the Zapper.
Waiting on Christmas before I pick up any more games. I'm hoping to get Resident Evil:UC and Ghost Squad for Christmas, along with another Zapper.
Might go ahead and buy myself a DS with any money I get. I bought my wife the crimson DS with Brain Age 2 just over a month or so ago. Since then, she's gotten hooked on the Phoenix Wright games. I've been looking at it, playing Elite Beat Agents on it when she's not using it. It looks like a cool game system, especially with its Wi-Fi capabilities. So I may blow some money on that - then I have to start splitting my time between DSFanBoy.com and NintendoWiiFanBoy.com.

I got all 120 stars with Mario and now I'm doing Luigi's.
This is to keep me entertained until my 360 comes back.
Then I will be playing Assasin's Creed.

69 stars!!! Is getting all 120 worth it???

Yes, a number of the levels in 61-120 are much more challenging than the 1-60 levels.

The Toy Galaxy, if not for the cool music, was almost difficult enough for me to pass it up. Some of those platforms (it is a platformer after all, right?? ;P) had my head hurtin!

All 121 stars with Mario and all 121 stars with Luigi in 2 weeks and one day.

I thought star 121 could only be had after completing Luigi. How did you get 121 as Mario?

Yeah and you call yourselves a wii fan site. Wow thats the last time I read your site. Too busy to play the best game on the wii, on any system...pathetic. Oh and for the record beat it with 120 mario/luigi which should have gone without saying.

I think i'm around 68ish.....great game. Masterpiece almost; but i gotta be honest, that thing has been collecting dust ever since I picked up MoH:H2. If anyone hasnt yet, you should check out the article on IGN Wii about the Producer's thoughts on developing the game. A true testament to how lazy the majority of the 3rd party devs are for this system. I mean, EA Fusion managed to create THE BEST HANDS DOWN Wii FPS with a PSP game!! Amazing what can be accomplished with a little care and thought.
No question games like RE5 can be done on Wii, albeit minus a few minor bells and whistles. The install base alone will demand it. Wii is this generations PS2.

I would have to say that I am still playing Galaxy but I do take breaks for some online warfare with BWii. I am getting MOH:H2 for Christmas so I need to get the end of Galaxy before then. I at this moment have 101 stars but I am not going to go and finish the game until I have all that I can get. I heard that some stars you can't get until after beating the game.

Sadly... I have barely started it. I just got my wii (FINALLY FOUND ONE) and I've been hook on super paper mario for some reason a long with playing raving rabbids, sports, and strikers with friends and family. But the answer: 5 stars. Yes, I suck

I have 120, and 2 with luigi... not sure i want to do it all over with Mr. Slippy-Feet... seems kind of an arbitrary pain in the butt... but i might.
I just got the GC Paper Marion 1000 year whatever off amazon for $10, so i may play through that. (Backwards compatibility is rad... There are all these GC games i never played that i'm enjoying now... and the GC Paper Mario is the last Mario RPG-ish game i've yet to play.)

Can one do the "final battle" just once?
I did it at 60 and then again at 120. Could I have just done it at 120?

It's the weekend before final exams at my college... but I have next to nothing to study. So I'm probably going to be playing through some SMG (have around 32 Stars, I told you I take my time) and Rock Band on the 360 with my roommates. I think I'm going to dedicate my winter break game playing to MP3:C, which I haven't really played much.

i'm still working my way through RE UC. it has gotten me wanting to play RE4 again.. I am getting Mario galaxy and MoH for christmas. So I hope I can at least finish RE UC before then, Although I just picked up the Looney Tones game and have not even opened it yet...

I will be picking up more stars...right now I am somewhere around 63-65...and I have to say that the difficulty has ramped up somewhat. Not too hard...yet.
I will be playing Super Mario Galaxy, Wii Sports (bowling most likely), re-playing Metroid Prime 3 on a harder difficulty, and starting Super Metroid (since I did not have an SNES, I have never played it before).
Definitely no drought of games to play...

I got 100 stars, finished the game and now I'm well on my way to getting the remaining 20.

This is the most fun I've had with a Mario game since Super Mario World. I just got all 120 stars a week or so ago and have about 30 with Luigi now.
Here's my list of the three hardest stars to get:
1. Daredevil comet on Melty Molten Galaxy (or whatever it's called).
2. Daredevil comet against Bouldergeist (on the ghost galaxy)
3. Purple coin challenge in Toy Time Galaxy (I had to watch the YouTube demo of someone getting all of them just to have any chance.
4. The second one where you have to blow up all the trash was a pain in the neck, too.
But as nerve-racking as some of the levels were, I can't wait to do it all again.

Ok, thanks. So one *has* to fight Bowser twice? I don't get that. I mean, I did it and everything, but why is the second time the same as the first time? (I got just a grey/repeat star the second time.)
