Super Mario Galaxy 2

Super Mario Galaxy 2 is a Wii video game by Nintendo. It is a sequel to Super Mario Galaxy and contains new features such as Yoshi, new powerups and returning favorites. Shigeru Miyamoto Has stated That 90% of the levels in Super Mario Galaxy 2 Will be New and 10% will be reused but with new objectives.

Gameplay
The game plays similarly to the original Super Mario Galaxy. Mario will travel from planet to planet using star launchers. The gravity system is once again fantastic, though there are an incredible amount of new features.

Yoshi
For one, Yoshi is in the game. Yoshi can be found in eggs that Mario can hatch by jumping on them. Once Mario is riding on top of Yoshi, the dinosaur can gobble up many enemies and items. His tongue can be directed with the pointer. Yoshi can grapple onto objects using his tongue. Yoshi's color will change when he obtains a power up. When Yoshi turns red he seems to be able to move faster, though when he turns blue he'll inflate into a balloon and send Mario to greater heights.

Items and costumes
As in the previous game there are many items that Mario can acquire. One of the new items is a top. Considered a weapon rather than a costume, the top will let Mario dig into the ground and access new areas. In one portion of the game Mario will shoot underground and come out at the otherside of the planet where he'll then be able to attack a menacing, hulking boss.

The Bee suit from the original game makes its triumphant return after being the most popular costume from the game. In one portion of the game Mario is seen making a large snowball in a snow based stage.
