::Well then the section title should probably be changed. The current title suggests that the enemies listed are enemies new to the Mario series, and similar sections on other articles (Such as the "New Enemies" section on the page for New Super Mario Bros.) only use the section for that purpose. There should at least be a note saying that the enemies are new to the Mario Galaxy series and not the Mario series as a whole.--[[User:Kirbychu HR'D|Kirbychu HR'D]]

==Dislikes About Galaxy 2==
My dislike is probably...I say...oh, enemies. Some should appear much more. {{User:Pink Boozooka/sig}}
:These kind of discussions belong in the forum. {{User:Reversinator/sig}}

{{talk}}
While it's true that many, even those at Nintendo, claim Mario Galaxy 2 to be a sequel, by definition, I don't believe Mario Galaxy 2 qualifies as a true sequel to the first game. Nothing in games makes reference to the first game, no events mentioned, the game treats it as Mario's first time in outer space, no Lumas recognize Mario. None of it lives up to the true definition of the word "sequel". I can provide some sources for this, based on the development of the game, though I can't say for sure if they count as truly reliable.

::::::Due to the lack of continuity in the [[Mario (franchise)|Mario franchise]], I don't think the definition [[User:Time Turner|Time Turner]] gives is valid. In this franchise, a sequel is a game succeeding another game with a similar name/theme. But even if it somehow does apply to the wiki, see my previous comment.

::::::::But you ''can'' argue that it's a sequel since it does "develop the theme of an earlier one". Within the scope of video games, there is little doubt this is a sequel. {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 18:01, 7 November 2016 (EST)
== Mixed up character descriptions ==
In the characters section, Captain Toad has Luigi's description, and Bowser has Captian Toad's. I'd edit it myself, but the page is locked for me.--[[User:LittleLum|LittleLum]] ([[User talk:LittleLum|talk]]) 21:41, April 22, 2019 (EDT)
:Fixed, thanks for pointing it out. You should be able to [[MarioWiki:Autoconfirmed users|edit semiprotected pages]] after two more edits. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 21:51, April 22, 2019 (EDT)
== Placement of Secret Missions (barring Green Stars) vs Prankster Comet Missions compared to SMG1 and Color-Code the Missions ==
I noticed for galaxies that have both a secret mission and a prankster comet mission, the order of the missions here list the secret mission before the prankster comet mission. Yet, the images of the galaxies clearly show the secret missions after the prankster comet missions. This was not contradictory for the galaxy list for the prequel, which also listed the secret star mission or missions after both prankster comet missions on both the wiki and the in-game star list. I was just curious as to what prompted this and if it was necessary to change them? Also, could the missions be color-coded like the mission list for the first game? Thanks, --[[User:Crafty Potatoes|Crafty Potatoes]] ([[User talk:Crafty Potatoes|talk]]) 09:20, August 4, 2020 (EDT)
:Edit: I noticed some stars did follow the pattern of putting the prankster comet mission before the secret mission, while others don't. I'll see if I can try to fix it or wait for someone else who can. --[[User:Crafty Potatoes|Crafty Potatoes]] ([[User talk:Crafty Potatoes|talk]]) 09:25, August 4, 2020 (EDT)
== RIghtside Down Power-Ups ==
In the [[Super_Mario_Galaxy_2#Power-up_locations|Power-up locations table]], Rightside Down's Fire Flower is listed as only appearing in the Hidden Star. In-game, you have to use it in the first star of the level. Could someone please fix this? Thanks in advance. [[User:CjhMC|CjhMC]] ([[User talk:CjhMC|talk]])
:Just noticed that, Star 1 has been added to the table. {{User:Zaku/sig}} 13:11, March 27, 2022 (EDT)
==We should try to make a clearer definition for "planet/reachable area"==
So, I understand that there isn't exactly a concrete definition for what counts as a planet or area, which leaves some room for interpretation. However, as I was looking through the planet/area counts in the galaxies table, I saw some that definitely aren't right... Seven in Spin-Dig Galaxy? Only FOUR planets in Battle Belt Galaxy? And SEVEN in Throwback??? I really don't see how that would be possible to think, assuming those were put in intentionally and not just typos. I would change these, but I'm not sure what I'd put in myself. Would the pipe rooms in Battle Belt count as their own areas, or not because they're just the interior of other planets? What about the underside of the Whomp's Fortress planet? Is that its own area? It has its own gravity, so is that enough to qualify? Twisty Trials Galaxy is considered to have four areas despite not changing gravity or ever using Launch Stars/Pipes/Teleporters/etc to go anywhere; the areas are all connected. Idk it just seems really messy to me and it should probably be addressed one way or another. [[User:ViableBunnyBudd|ViableBunnyBudd]] ([[User talk:ViableBunnyBudd|talk]]) 13:35, August 18, 2024 (EDT)
:For ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', the "reachable areas" parameter was conceptualized as "what is separated by Launch Star or Warp Pipe?" It is less about the literal number of planets because quite a few can simply be jumped between so it is not very contextualizing. I would revise these numbers with the same framework. ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' has not been scrutinized as much as its predecessor because that one was nominated for feature status. - [[User:Nintendo101|Nintendo101]] ([[User talk:Nintendo101|talk]]) 20:34, August 18, 2024 (EDT)
