Witness Super Mario Galaxy's deepest secrets

I would have thought Peach would know all of Mario's moves. Gasp! He's cheating with your hot double Rosalina!

buuuuuuuurn!

Yeah, I didn't know about those either. That boost would have been helpful in those Cosmic Luigi races, which were actually pretty tough.

Yeah, while a lot of the stuff with Luigi seemed to come more naturally, those Cosmic Luigi races kick your ass

This little tip will help

Really, if you aren't a completist, doing Luigi is a waste of time. Take it from me, the "secret" sucks. But you know, if you enjoy the game so much that you would play it all over again after just finishing it, go ahead.

Yeah, the secret last star is nothing special, but Luigi's game is sorta like a higher difficulty, due to his added speed and slick shoes.

I noticed that in the cosmic races, the cosmic Luigi is faster than cosmic Mario. But yeah the difference is difficulty isn't big enough for me at least. I thought the super-secret star was like this awesome last level full of challenges. =[

Heh, that's what I was hoping for, too. Some big crazy hardcore platforming stage along the lines of the bonus levels from Sunshine. I was planning on finishing the game with Luigi anyway, even before I found out about the secret star, but it was still a bit of a letdown.

What would be really awesome is if they just cranked out a quick sequel, a la Lost Levels, that really turned up the challenge. SMG was one game that I didn't want to see end, and I hate to think we'll have to go another console generation before we get a sequel.

Same. I'd rather have the spring powerup be much less challenging – since the game was way too challenging to begin with.

Again, there are good types of challenge and bad types of challenge. PN 03, for instance, was the bad type of challenge - your character moved like a brain-damaged tank. Ninja Gaiden was the good type of challenge - your character did exactly what you wanted it to do, it's just that what you wanted it to do was crazy.

The spring powerup is the one place in Mario Galaxy where I literally cannot get my character to behave in a consistent fashion with how he's supposed to.

But, you know, more power to you. I'll stay playing the largely great experiences like Mario Galaxy while you go blaze through Superman 64.
