Super Mario Galaxy

I have next week off work, and I'm 14 hours into Twilight Princess. Screw Thanksgiving, I have more important things to do with my vacation!

I've decided to torture myself by starting and completing Metroid Prime 3 before I buy any new games, since I just borrowed it from someone. It took me a long time to get into Mario, because I was a Genesis kid, but this looks so good it hurts. And being one of the few people who actually liked Sunshine, Galaxy is probably going to blow my mind.

I don't have it just yet, but apparently my Mother has bought it at some point in this week according to some inside sources, so I'll just wait until Christmas.

Going to be a Christmas gift for me, so I'll wait until then. Looks and sounds supremely awesome though.

and using the spin attack is just as unresponsive (compared to a button press) as I knew it would be

That's strange. I find it very responsive. Are you sure you aren't just trying to use it in quick succession? You aren't supposed to be able to do it extremely quickly. Other than that I find the response great.

No, I mean that it just isn't half as responsive as a button press would have been. Sometimes it's right on the money, others it takes about half a second before it realizes he should be doing the spin attack. It's not a huge delay, but it has meant the difference between me killing enemies or taking damage so far which can be annoying. I'm also disappointed to learn that you throw fireballs by shaking the controller as well. I have no problem with Nintendo implementing motion controls in the game, it just doesn't make sense to me to use it for an attack that's better left to a button press.

I got it today!

I am at the second dome.

I have a question though. Some galaxies do not have the sign for completion even though I did all available quests. Does that mean it has secret bonus stars that only appear when certain conditions are met or will new quests be unlocked later?

There are secret stars, but other stars will become available later which, it seems, are repeats of previous missions with challenges (such as speed runs).

Edit: I'm also on the second dome, but I'm making sure I've not missed any stars available. I've gotten 20 of them so far and I've only done three galaxies in the second dome (two of which only had one star).

I'm so jealous of all you Wii-owners out there! I wanna play this game too:mad2: !

You can only get a max of 105 stars before you beat the game. The last 15 will be unlocked to obtain after completion. So, before the game is complete you should do the three normal missions, one comet, and one hidden for all the major galaxies. There are also three green stars, and all the hungry luma stars. Oh, and don't forget the red star at the Gate. After you beat it, all the Purple comet stars will be unlocked for the levels.

I have 114 stars so far.
As of right now, I have 120 stars! Awesome.

(SPOILER)Now go through and get them all as Luigi and beat it! There's some rumor on some sites, like gamefaqs, of a 121st star or something after that

I'm a tad bit disappointed at how easy bowser was

I have 120 stars now

Yeah. I have 62 stars with him right now. I'm shooting for that hidden Galaxy!

I beat the game, but now I'm going for Game Complete. When beating the game, I decided I'd unlock every stage, but not go inside them by only completing the earlier stages. :3

And don't ask me how I got it early. >_>...

I just obtained 121 stars with both Mario and Luigi. Wow. Best game ever.
