Super Mario Galaxy: Difference between revisions

Mario moves way faster when he is long jumping (crouch while running then jump). This'll make the foot races in the game considerably easier.

Back flipping at a wall then jumping off and spinning can get you up onto most high walls.

It's worth getting every star, though be aware that you won't be able to get all 120 until you've beaten the game at least once.

If you're stumped on a star, just pick a different world to explore. Usually, by the time you've collected 1-2 stars from every world in a planetarium, you'll have enough to unlock the Bowser level and then move to the next planetarium.

Lives mean very little, so don't be afraid to explore a bit (and possibly die.)

Having a second player on Wiimote duty can be really helpful in some places. With the A button, they can hold most enemies in place (including cannonballs!), and even freeze some moving or disappearing platforms.

On the really difficult water race in the trial galaxy, the timer shows 1:30 as the best time, but you have an entire 3 minutes to complete the race.

While there are some exceptions, generally killing an enemy with a Spin Attack gets you Star Bits, Stomping gets you a Coin.

-- It's worth getting every star. It's also very possible - a couple of them can be a bit annoying but there are tricks that you can help with them if you get really stuck, and the rest are pretty easy.
+* Back flipping at a wall then jumping off and spinning can get you up onto most high walls.
-- Prepare to be disappointed when the best power up in the game is horribly underused. Just don't get too excited about finding new powerups.

-- Don't bother going out of your way for extra lives as the game doesn't save them at all. So you get a bunch, quit and come back you'll just have 5. I'm not exactly sure why they even put the lives system in the game in the first place as if you lose them all nothing happens.
+* While there are some exceptions, generally killing an enemy with a Spin Attack gets you Star Bits, Stomping gets you a Coin.
