Super Mario Galaxe 2! SuperMarioGalaxy2

super Mario Galaxy 2 is an upcoming platforming video game in development for the Nintendo Wii. First announced at E3 2009, it is the sequel to Super Mario Galaxy, and will be released in North America on May 23, 2010 and Europe on June 11, 2010.

Gameplay

Gameplay will be similar to the first Super Mario Galaxy, with a focus on platforming based on and around 3D planets with varying sizes and landscapes. The protagonist Mario will be able to ride the bipedal dinosaur Yoshi, who can use his tongue to swing across gaps, as well as eat different fruits that give him different powers, such as speed boosts, the ability to inflate like a balloon, or reveal secret paths.[6] While the player retains the ability to collect Star Bits with the blue Star Pointer from the first game, the Star Pointer is replaced by a red dot when riding Yoshi, which allows the player to aim and control his tongue. This can be used for swinging off objects, pulling levers or, like in previous games, swallowing enemies and spitting them out.

Old mechanics will be returning from Super Mario Galaxy, such as the blue Pull Stars, sections restricted to a 2D axis, and gravity-reversing background arrows. Power-ups such as the Bee and Ghost Mushrooms will be returning, along with the Launch Star for interplanetary navigation. Also, new items and gameplay mechanics were showcased at E3 2009. These include a drill that allows Mario to dig through dirt into new areas (and in some cases explore the interior of planets), a Rock suit that allows Mario to smash through barriers[8] and switches that slow time momentarily, indicated by a change to monochrome vision. Players can collect Comet Metals [sic] hidden in the stages to unlock harder levels with tougher challenges.

Instead of the hub world of the last game, Galaxy 2 will include a map system similar to the ones in Super Mario Bros 3, Super Mario World, and New Super Mario Bros Wii.[10] This is navigated via a Mario head-shaped planet called Starship Mario, which can be visited anytime and is expanded upon when new abilities are unlocked.

Development

Super Mario Galaxy 2 was revealed at Electronic Entertainment Expo 2009. Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto stated that the team had originally planned just to do variations on the original game's planets, but over time thought of all-new ideas. The game is said to have 95–99% new features, with the rest being previous features such as the Bee Suit. In Miyamoto's private conference, it was stated that the game is very far along in development, but its release was held back to mid-2010, due to New Super Mario Bros. Wii's release in late 2009.[12]In regards to the original game, Nintendo of America President and CEO Reggie Fils-Aimé stated in an interview that the sequel would be more challenging,[13] and Miyamoto said in a Wired interview that the game would have less focus on plot.[14] As of November 2009, development for the game is being finalized,[15] and the game's soundtrack is currently being recorded, which, like the original game, is composed for a symphony orchestra.[16]

Miyamoto initially hinted that the game might utilize the "Super Guide" feature, introduced in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, into the game,[17] and was confirmed by Nintendo's Senior Manager of Product Managing, Bill Trinen, who claimed that the feature is implemented differently compared to what New Super Mario Bros. Wii offered.[18] The game made its playable debut at the Nintendo Summit 2010 on February 24, 2010, where a second trailer for the game was released, and its North American release date on May 23, 2010 was finally announced.[19][20] The next day, the European Media Summit was held, in which the European release date of June 11, 2010 was also announced.
