Launch into a new universe of gravity warping worlds in the
sequel to one of the greatest games of all time! Yoshi joins
Mario as they traverse a wild variety of galaxies exploding with
imagination, helping out our hero as he gulps enemies, runs at
super speed, or inflates like a blimp to reach high cliff tops.
Whether Mario’s leaping into orbit around tiny micro-planets,
tumbling through rooms with constantly flip-flopping gravity, or
drilling through craggy worlds to emerge on the other side, he’ll

. New Out-of-this-world Adventure
Like its predecessor, Super Mario Galaxy 2 is an action
platformer set in space. Platforming takes place between worlds,
known as galaxies. Mario can move between smaller examples of
these by jumping. He can also embark on longer jaunts via a small
steerable planet in the shape of Mario's head, but as a new twist
he can also move into and through planets as well using the new
drill mechanism. This allows for both a new direction in action
as well as an opening to problem-solving and coin collection.
Players can expect the return of a variety of powerups from the
original game including Bee and Boo Mushrooms, but also many that
are new varieties including the Rock Mushroom that temporarily
turns Mario into a rock that can smash through barriers. Another
key change to gameplay is the ability for Mario to join with his
pal Yoshi. Once Mario hatches Yoshi from his egg he can ride him
through a variety of scenarios. Yoshi's particular reaction to
specific powerups makes for fun with gravity. For example, when
Yoshi eats a "Dash Pepper" he is able to move at hyper speed
allowing the pair to literally run up the side of walls. Also,
after eating a Blimp Fruit power-up Yoshi can swells up and
floats like a blimp, taking Mario with him to areas of the game
otherwise unreachable.
Key Game Features
* Mario collects stars as he travels from galaxy to galaxy. Every
level is new, but the game retains the charm, sense of wonder and
beauty in line with Mario's history. Mario works his way through
the various levels, sometimes upside-down, sometimes floating
from place to place.
* On some stages, Mario can find an egg, smash it open and hop
onto the back of Yoshi. Yoshi can use his tongue to grab items
and shoot them back at enemies, or to snag attach points and
swing across chasms.
* Yoshi has an interesting diet. When he eats a Dash Pepper, he
gets so hot and frenzied he can run up steep inclines and
vertical walls. When he eats a Blimp Fruit, he inflates like a
balloon and floats to new heights.
* New powerups include a drill that Mario uses to tunnel through
the planet's surface all the way to the other side of a planet.
* Skilled players will want to collect new Comet Metals, which
will unlock harder levels with even more challenges.
