By Jorge Ba-oh 21.08.2007 6

The recent edition of US Nintendo magazine, Nintendo Power, details the upcoming Super Mario Galaxy storyline and gameplay; once again confirming the diabolical Bowser trying to wreak havoc.

The magazine reveals that the Mushroom Kingdom are celebrating a century event, where a comet passes over, raining down magical stars. As the Princess and her followers celebrate the event, the devious Bowser attacks with his league of ickle minions causing chaos throughout the land. Mario steps in to put an end to all the hassle, however finds himself on a strange moon high above his home.

The report confirms 120 stars to collect, over 40 different galaxies and six major regions.

Gateway Galaxy provides a planet-hopping romp through space in which you'll be chasing space rabbits (who are really stars), collect star chips, fight a gargantuan Goomba to get a key and more. Star Dust Galaxy, you'll use Beam Stars to maneuver amid space debris, journey across an old rocket, rescue toads and more. There are also multiple missions in a particular galaxy like in Egg Planet Galaxy. Cookie Factory Galaxy features plenty of moving platforms, bottomless pits and more. Power-ups include: Super Mushroom (it increases your health to max), Invincibility Star, Fire Flower, Bee Mario and Boo Mario suits.

*lol* sounds great.
My fears, that this game would be small - small planets after all - certainly is put to great ease. In fact, I like more smaller levels better then a lot of similar ones. But that was never quite the case in Mario games. But the theme of the world stayed more or less the same. Here it seems the themes are mixed and change a lot. More diversification!

/edit: Bee- and Boo-Mario sound silly, but i know what they are referring to.
Baa-, Buu-, Bii-Marios anywhere? *lol*

I find your lack of faith disturbing!

I only hope at one point we get to visit the Castle. Smilie

Can't wait to get my grubby mits on Galaxy. Should be a brilliant game.

Either there was a haunted mansion where Mario turned into Boo or it was a castle. But I do not know if it was Bowser's castle. Would be great!
