Mario Galaxy Looks Way Awesome - Page 3

Antisocial · 11-16-2007, 10:12 PM

Big spoilers ahead. Seriously.

A-hem...

Spoiler Below

I just got my 120th Star...

...With Luigi.

Seriously. I played this nonstop to get this far. After that, I got my 121st Star for both brothers at the Grand Finale Galaxy, which is basically just the front of Peach's Castle and an EASY Purple Coin hunt. Anticlimactic.

Also, in midair, if you spin then immediately press Z, you'll perform a stomp that homes in on nearby items and enemies.

...And if you use different jumps at the edge of water, you'll perform a graceful dive...purely for aesthetic use, of course.

Who here has tried the

Green Star Galaxies?

I've managed to do 2. They're REALLY hard. Good luck to any who try them.

Oh, and I now have 56 stars. Wow. I haven't entered the 5th dome yet, but I've opened all of the Galaxies in it...

I got all three.

....None of them are easier than the others. Those are hard stars.

You're pretty close to finishing the story, but...actually wait holy Hell how much have you played?

X-3 · 11-17-2007, 06:13 PM

Finished all three. And I'm probably playing too much. Meh, it's the weekend.

Spoiler Below

Of the three, I'd have to say the Ray Surfing was the easiest, and the Rolling the Ball one was hardest. I got my first Game Over on it. :\

My mom commented that the music was good. And I agree. Good stuff.

Chunky Kong12345 · 11-21-2007, 05:42 PM

92 stars.

Damn, this is fun.

SephirothKirby · 11-21-2007, 05:56 PM

I got it last night. I have 31 stars right now.

Is anyone just a little disappointed in the difficulty level? I mean, I hope it gets harder, I'm about to attempt the 3rd boss, and I've hardly even died.

Although, some of the challenges are a bit interesting. Especially "Daredevil"

I also was hoping there would be more "exploring" involved. Really it's just this process:

Enter Galaxy. Do simple task. Sling to Planet B. Do simple task. Sling to Planet C. Repeat until you get to the star.

Still, it's a good game. It's just not as amazing as I heard/thought it would be.

Though, I'm still hoping it'll get harder.

Spoiler Below

And you say all 3 of the Green Stars are really difficult? Well, I've only come by one so far, and it wasn't difficult. The one you obtain on the floating fortress is the easiest, right?

**Wyborn** · 11-21-2007, 06:53 PM

SK: You unlock something special with three green stars. That is where things begin to get difficult.

Chunky Kong12345 · 11-21-2007, 10:16 PM

Spoiler Below

The trial galaxies weren't really too hard, at least for me.

Spoiler Below

But, the Purple Coin Challenge for Dusty Dunes can go **** itself.

X-3 · 11-22-2007, 03:18 PM

^Don't remind me. That was hell.

Spoiler Below

Daredevil at that Melty Molten Galaxy or whatever was a bitch too.

Oh, and I beat the game, with all of the stars. I was going to completely finish it*hint hint*, but my rental time ended. Oh well...It was a good game.

Chunky Kong12345 · 11-22-2007, 05:45 PM

Spoiler Below

Time to finish Luigi's game.

Demonic Lemonade · 11-22-2007, 09:15 PM

Spoiler Below

The boss at the Mantion galaxy on Daredevil mode was seriously annoying.

I died, like, 50 times.

Chunky Kong12345 · 11-22-2007, 09:28 PM

Yeah, Boldergeist is a bitch.

Marx · 11-22-2007, 10:45 PM

Yeah, I had trouble with Bouldergiest too. It was easier when I found out you can destroy the rocks it throws at you with the Star Bits.

Sarai and Samiel · 11-23-2007, 01:03 AM

Wow, I didn't even have to do that.

87 stars and counting. Blisteringly wonderful game, but sometimes the control scheme verges on impossible to handle. And that's speaking as someone who's mastered the ability to learn a control scheme within half on a hour.

Bloody stupid surf ray with the control lag AND camera lag.... sigh.

I will say that if you're losing in the surfing game, it's not the fault of the controller - you probably just don't realize how sharply you can turn.

That IS about practice.

Koga · 11-23-2007, 07:58 AM

I was talking to my best friend last night about this game. He is not a big Nintendo fan, but he is a big fan of Super Mario 64 and he also got a GCN and Sunshine and he was a little disappointed with it (just like I was). Both of us would really like to try this game, but we haven't really got the money, so we were thinking of buying a Wii together.

I may still do this, but I have to wait till after the Christmas break to see how much money I've got left. For my friend it's all about Galaxy, but I'm also interested in Metroid Prime 3 and SSBB.

Mmmm... possible. Though, I'm not sure I would count it losing- I tend to average three-four one-up mushrooms every time I die, so it nets me a ton metric of extra lives along with my ton (english) of frustration.

Up to 98 stars, by the way. There was one hidden, but not supersecret or anything, regular star in I think the later desert galaxy I couldn't figure out how to get. The alternate star for that 'mission' with the wierd semi-disclike planet with the rising/falling tower in the middle, where to reach the normal star, you have to climb up the inside behind glass and break all these crates blocking the path. I can't figure out where/how to get to the alternative star, and it's driving me nuts because I've found and gotten all the other ones I could at the time.

Sigh.

Wonder Wario · 11-24-2007, 02:18 PM

I believe I know the one you're talking about. With 20 star bits in hand, the first sand disk you land on, walk onto the underside, and you'll see a Luma who'll take you to the hidden star.

SephirothKirby · 11-24-2007, 04:22 PM

Spoiler Below

The trial galaxies weren't difficult at all. I never spent more than 1 life on each. It was a really well made game, I admit, but still it was far too easy than I would've hoped. I never really had trouble with the Dusty Dunes purple coin hunt, but I had some trouble on a few others. I forget which.

Sarai and Samiel · 11-25-2007, 02:33 AM

Spoiler Below

Dusty Dunes 3, WW, not Dusty Dunes 1.

The sand disks on 3 you can't walk to the underside of. They're all quicksandy and deathness.

Stars now: 103

Spoiler Below

Gods, but the Honeyhive coin challenge is irritating.
