STARSSSSSSSSS
16 December 2007Didn’t really touch Galaxy after I beat the last boss, but the urge to finish up the remaining stars kicked in. That goal wasn’t completed tonight, but I’ve knocked down 4 more, leaving 28 to go.
The four I complete tonight were all of the Purple Comet variety. These are interesting since while they all have the same main goal, which is to collect 100 purple coins, they each have their own specific trials.
Some are timed, some are precision based and some just require you to search every nook and cranny. So far, thy have all managed to be fun and challenging without being too failure prone.
We’ll see if this holds up.
Delicious cake!

It must be eaten!
Oldish vid of fun as hell level
25 November 2007Found this video in my recording archives and I never actually upped it. One of my favorite bits in Galaxy. The shit is just too cool.
Take that, you fat fuck!
23 November 2007Last Bowser fight was damn good. A nice solid challenge that took a few tries. After finishing the game and reloading, it’s saying I’ve got 35 starts to go to unlock something. I think I’ll take that at a nice easy pace over the next few days.
Final opinion on Super Mario Galaxy? Fantastic game. Buy it now. One of the top games of the year and will definitely be remembered as one of my favorite Mario games in years to come.

23 November 2007DAMN! Some of these levels are annoying! I don’t want to chase any more goddamned bunnies around!
Toad is a goddamned Spambot

キノピオ would be the Japanese name of what we fondly refer to as Toad. And the little fucker is filling up my Wii inbox with requests.
Well, half the time telling me that Luigi got his dumbass caught somewhere and I have to go rescue him. And then the other half thanking me for doing the rescue missions. Maybe because I play the game in such long sessions it doesn’t really mean much. By the time I see the initial “Save me!” email, the quest is long since completed. But still neat enough in concept.
You are freaking out….man
21 November 2007Holy crap.
Easily the best SMG level yet. In the Japanese version it’s called “Mystery Circle Galaxy” and it’s a fucking trip. Basically, said circles determine where and when you can move about. I don’t want to spoil too much. But goddamn. It’s in what I’d wager is the last room and is the only ? stage.
Took me about 8 lives to do it. Not so much trial and error but really getting the timing and pace down.
Sixty Nine, wooo!

Just knocked out a few more stars tonight. Got annoyed for the first time with the damn spring suit. Once I figured out the timing to do the power jump (you have to hit A just as the spring starts to compress) it became mildly easier, but the lack of control that is given as you bounce everywhere can be quite frustrating at times. The two bosses you have to face while using the suit were easily some of the toughest so far. Thankfully, not entirely due to the difficulty of controlling Spring Mario.
55 and loving it
19 November 2007Just grabbed star numero fifty five after beating the fourth big boss. I’m becoming even fonder of this game as I keep playing it. The variety is just right and everything feels spot on. Especially the gravity, which I didn’t realize how important it would be to this game. Hell, the gravity is really the entire point. And it’s so good.
You can’t tell how damn awesome it is in the screenshot below, but the arrows point in the direction that gravity will push on you. Doing a big jump from one to the other just looks and even feels awesome.
Grammar GET!
