WELL ideally I will be getting a certain amazing game later today. So I've decided I will keep progress here for posterity or something! I will be updating this post continuously throughout the day with my progress and thoughts on the game, and that'll be pretty sweet I think.
First, I'll put down some pre-play thoughts:
*I fully expect Galaxy 2 to be better than Galaxy
*I hope the final boss is tougher and less anticlimactic
*I hope the story makes more sense and ties into Galaxy in some way rather than just being a "reboot"
*Rosalina had better make an appearance, and not just as the Space Witch lady
*I hope there's a third playable character, even if it's just Yoshi solo or something
*I hope there's at least one more new power-up we don't know about yet, like Flying Mario was in Galaxy
*Speaking of Flying Mario, I hope he's in and used more
*I really hope that power-ups like Fire Mario don't have a time limit any more!
*SO PSYCHEDDD
(NOTE: There will be spoilers in my descriptions. You have been WARNED.)
1:11 - Suuupppeeeer Marrriooo Galaxxxyyyyy 2!
1:14 - Interesting opening sequence, but with the classic 1-1 block formation. Niiice.
1:16 - Oh, hey, uh, Bowser. You're looking large today!
1:19 - That whole bit about making more sense than Galaxy isn't looking good. XP
1:29 - It seems like levels are longer and have more coins. I wonder if there are any 100-coin Stars? Also, Mario is still abusive to Piranha Plants.
1:30 - Ooh, a running coin total? I wonder if I get to buy anything...
1:43 - How you know a game is awesome: Banzai Bills on stage 2. HECK YEAH. Also, a use for crawling???
1:57 - Yoshi is amazing. Predictably. Also, I have 33 lives already! XD
2:04 - THIS is what Galaxy was missing: the pwnage of Lakitus.
3:06 - Didn't I own you last game, Bugaboom? Eh, whatever. STOMPITY.
3:09 - First death. On "The Puzzling Picture Block", trying to get the Comet Coin. 70 lives left. XP
3:19 - Dash Yoshi is kind of tough to control! Several deaths ensue.
3:46 - Music is fantastic, btw. Cosmic Cove Galaxy has especially amazing music. Club Nintendo should have the soundtrack as the Platinum prize this year. :D
4:22 - So the STARS are the steroids! Got it. Oh, and Bowser 1 = defeated. To the face.
4:35 - Hit the 99 lives limit. The lives are like NSMBW. SO MANYYYY. I actually hope it doesn't save the lives so that I can collect more later!
4:37 - No hatless Mario with 99 lives? Aww.
4:40 - The remixes in this game are GREAT. :D
4:55 - IT'S WEEGEE TIIIME. Honestly I'm not sure why I would ever play as Mario again.
5:56 - Okay, Dinner time and then homework. I guess that's all for the moment! Overall consensus so far is that it is a LOT of fun, and quite possibly even better than Galaxy! I'll keep this post updated.
8:02 - Playing again. Really the biggest disappointment of Galaxy 2 is that some songs seem to be reused from Galaxy... slackers. >:o Also, lives don't save. This is actually a good thing.
8:03 - OKAY the game just HEAVILY implied Rosalina exists. I'm happy with that!
8:05 - Still can't jump on Bullet Bills. Dang.
8:30 - Y'know, these Wigglers are actually really small if you compare their size to the Goombas (Supermassive Galaxy - Huge Trouble with Big Wigglers).
10: 29 - Okay, I'm officially done for the night. *yawn* Final totals: 55 Stars, on World 5, 26 Comet Coins, 1366 Coins, and 2089 Star Bits.
