Yep... I was doing it yesterday, took me more attempts than any of the purple coin levels I've finished so far! Bloody shells not staying inside the tower long enough to pick them up...Lie with passion and be forever damned... -
Got every single star last night with MarioOriginally posted by 'Press Start To Begin' View PostIs it the hardest star ever? rock hard 2D sections followed by some serious 3D skills??
Its such a wonderful amazing game. Certainly my game of the year maybe even decade. Its seems I have to add another Mario game to my list of best games ever.

I love SMG!
I was up to 44 stars a few weeks ago but I sold my PAL Wii to a friend as he wanted one and I wanted a NTSC one so I got such a good price I made ?10 out of the deal and was able to get another from VG+ with 2 game and Wii play (for the extra remote)
Only on 7 stars but I got Super Paper Mario too and have nearly finished that so its been eating up my free time.
Its tough as I just got Xbox live and am always on Halo and COD4.
too many games and not enough time!
hahaha

I loved that challangeOriginally posted by Mayhem View Post
What i didn't realize at first though was that spinning near a buggering shell helps Mario to grab it - whether it is flying towards him midair or moving rapidly on the floor - which makes this challange so much easier. After figuring that out i did it without the slightest of trouble.Comment

SMG has rekindled my passion for videogames after a while of drifting away from gaming.
Sublime visuals(for a wii game),sounds and most importantly gameplay.
Only just started playing but already the attention to detail makes this a standout game.
Yet again nintendo leads the way.Last edited by JB@XL; 20-01-2008, 12:56.Comment

Yep, i said exactly that in my review and i truly believe it. Galaxy surely will relight any lost passion.
I feel it is a freshing work of pure passion. A work of love.Comment

As much as i love it, i just can't seem to pick it up very easily..it misees that ''i need to play it now!'' factor for me.Comment

That's where I’m torn...
Usually with Mario titles i love to delve into them here and there and when i do that 10minutes or hour or so is an incredible experience. With other games that are heavily story-driven that 'i need to play it now' factor, as you mention, is immense and pulls me back without letting me play anything else in-between...
However, Galaxy has been different for me. It is the first Mario title that has had me gripped - ever so tightly - from beginning to end. Every area is so unique, so magical and so unpredictable that I could not resist its allure. Galaxy pulled me in, almost addictively, into its world and charm.
In short, Galaxy says ‘just one more time!’ more then anything I’ve experienced before

Well I just finished it with 120 stars and
Excellent game. One of my favourite games ever.Comment

Next time just spin to pick the shell up (doesn't matter how fast the shell is travelling). The spin has quite a big catchment area so grabbing them in the tower should be easy when spinning.Originally posted by Mayhem View PostComment

But with this game i just don't have it..
no idea why though, i mean it's the best nintendo game in recent memory! Maybe i should play with someone in coop mode. That any good? Does it add to the experience?
Maybe i my love for games disapperead! O.O Nah i still love Yoshi's island, can't ever lose that love :PComment

I mention the Co-op (called CO-Star) briefly in my review - and it is fun playing alongside a friend or partner.
However if you are struggling to get into it by yourself then Co-op may not aid that.
Actually... on second thought, maybe witnessing someone else's enjoyment will evoke your own. Or maybe it'll allow you to see things you wouldnt otherwise... Or maybe it will help you to relax a little, allowing you to simply just absorb the sights.
I think once you experience a few more star challanges it will start to grab you a little more. Maybe you are trying too hard to be amazed that you are missing the subtle greatness!

Anyone think when Mario says 'Super Mario Galaxy!' on the disk screen he sounds like Donald Stott from Vic Reeves Big Night Out...?Comment
-
Not sure about that mate... But it is definitely high-pitched. The misses' little one can't even shriek that high
Though, like others have mentioned, hearing
made me chuckle.Comment

Every time I hear the "Super Mario Galaxy" on the disk screen I hear it as a Japanese style "Super Mario Garaxy!"
I really can't work out which it is.Comment
