Super Mario Galaxy is the newest sequel to the series of Mario's 3-D platformers, after Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine. It uses parts of the canceled Mario game for the GameCube, Super Mario 128. The game is scheduled to be released in North America on November 12th, 2007.
Super Mario Galaxy, unlike other Mario games, takes place in outer space. The game's levels consist of many planets, some big and some small, some flat and some round. The game will have six themed worlds, 40 galaxies and 120 Power Stars to collect.
For some odd reason, many of the enemies and three of the known bosses have tube-like mouths that resemble those of Snifits.
Story
Not much is known about the story yet. Princess Peach gets abducted by a creature from a planet other than the Mushroom Planet and is brought out into outer space. Mario must follow the creature throughout the galaxy, explore worlds, and battle monsters he's never seen before. Bowser has been shown battling Mario in a screenshot, but it is currently unknown how he will play into the story.
Unique Features
Super Mario Galaxy has many brand-new features that no Mario game has ever had in Nintendo history, one of which is the Star Cursor. With the Wiimote, the player can shake it and make Mario perform a spin attack. Not a Spin Jump, just a quick spin, conjecturally called a Star Spin.
The game features new items like the Boost Star, which allows Mario to launch off of a planet and go flying to the next. As stated before, there is no warning that a boss might be located on the next planet, no indication that Mario may be facing something terrible or something peaceful on where he's headed next, and no loading screens or mission select screens for levels.
Another incredible feature is the bosses. Mr. Miyamoto has given the game incredible alien bosses; a giant three-eyed spider with wings, a huge mechanical three-legged robot, and a lava octopus resembling Octo, reminiscent of Gooper Blooper from Super Mario Sunshine.
New enemies have come into the game too, like the Cosmic Bloopers, and the Cosmic Bullet Bills. However, Mario meets new friends too, like Cosmic Toads and Space Rabbits. Power Stars make a comeback, leaving Shine Sprites in the dust with their new orange-golden shine. The game will have the traditional "collect the 120 stars" goal that was first introduced in Super Mario 64.
Additionally, Mario will retain his ability to gain different abilities, via special mushrooms. Similar to Super Mario 64, where he could obtain the Wing Cap and Metal Cap, Mario will be able to collect suits, such as the Bee Suit and the Boo Suit, which allow him to transform into Bee Mario and Boo Mario, respectively, with more suits to come. Bee Mario can hover for a short time, cling to certain surfaces, and use his stinger. Boo Mario has the ability to fly, and even go through certain walls. Additionally, Boos will not attack Boo Mario. Touching water, or coming in contact with certain beams of light, will make the Bee Suit or the Boo Suit fall off, respectively.
New Bosses
Four known bosses have been confirmed to be in the game in the e3 demo. A large Snifit-like robot, a giant Cosmic Blooper king, and a giant alien Scuttle Bug. Recently revealed was a huge, half-Piranha Plant, half-dinosaur creature with a head resembling Petey Piranha's. Bowser will also appear as a boss. See their articles:
