Super Mario Galaxy was a fantastic platforming experience, sending our plucky plumber into space collecting Stars and colourful Star Bits in order to get back to the Mushroom Kingdom. Of course, we were left wanting more, and Super Mario Galaxy 2 looks set to satisfy our celestial tastebuds and then some.
Ramping the difficulty curve a little bit for experienced planet-hoppers, Galaxy 2 offers several new tweaks to the formula that will make this feel like more than just an expansion release. Top of the list is Yoshi, Mario's dinosaur pal, who can be used to travel quickly and flutter jump across various parts of the cosmic scenery.
Eating various fruit will make Yoshi change colour and offer a new ability. Blue fruit will make him float up into the air, while red chillis will make Yoshi run at a breakneck pace. You're going to need these transformations and abilities to survive the mind-twisting designs of each stage.
On top of this, there are two new suits for the hero to don; Cloud Mario and Rock Mario. The cloud suit lets you create up to three floating platforms for you to cross chasms with, while the Rock suit allows players to roll around hills and crash into enemies and obstacles to reveal new paths.
Even the co-operative multiplayer mode has been enhanced – a friend will appear as a Luma character that can hold enemies and perform the Mario Spin to freeze and knock them out. You can also collect coins on the Mario player's behalf so you really can double-team Bowser!

This game is the best sequel to an amazing Mario game. At first I thought there was no way to continue the plot, but after playing it, I have found that the writers just keep getting better. The game keeps the same controls and is much like the first game except the spaceship/planet you temporarily live on is modeled after Mario's face and you do not have to complete the whole of the story to unlock Luigi. This is a great game and I can't wait until the creators decide to sequel it again.
Where the original game bravely went, this game goes even further and manages to out-class 'Galaxy 1 by more than an incremental step. This sequel increases the imagination, colour, variation and difficulty in generous helpings. Gone is the hub-world (cunningly portrayed as an observatory) from the original, for 'Galaxy 2 makes reference to the 8-bit revival made by games such as 'Punch Out!', 'New Super Mario Wii' and others. The overworld is portrayed as a 'Super Mario World 3' style overhead map, and Mario's eccentric head-shpaed spaceship navigates these realms with use of the Wii Pointer.
Collecting stars is the goal once again, and they are scattered across breath-takingly beautiful and colorful worlds. Fire, ice, snow, asteroids, fortresses, meadows, haunted-houses, undersea, beaches, wacky upside-down houses and caricature-like bosses - all with goofy, brilliantly programmed contraptions.
This game is easily the Wii's best action game, and probably the best Mario adventure yet.
Oh, and you can play with Yoshi!
