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 areas, 40 galaxies, and 120 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

From the Nintendo Power Magazine:

"Every hundred years a comet passes over the Mushroom Kingdom and rains down magical stars and stardust, and as Princess Peach and the citizens of the kingdom are celebrating the centennial event, Bowser and his legions attack. As Mario attempts to put a stop to Bowser’s shenanigans, but things go awry: the next thing he knows, he finds himself on a mysterious moon high above the Mushroom Kingdom."

And in a video, it shows how Bowser comes on his airships, and attacks Toad Town, freezing Toads and takes Princess Peach's Castle up into space. A Magikoopa shoots Mario into outerspace. He then wakes up on a small grassy planet. He then meets Tyke who turns into a Space Rabbit and Mario chases him and two other rabbits who tell him he is in space. It is known that they take him to meet Princess Rosalina. Mario then starts his journey across the Galaxies, freeing Grand Stars.

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 Wii Remote, 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 Star Cursor is also used to perform a variety of tasks, from climbing vines, to manipulating Wobble Launchers, to merely collecting faraway Coins and Star Shards.

Unlike the last two titles, a Co-Op Mode is available, in which the second player controls a second Star Cursor. The extra Star Cursor, unlike the main one, can be used to freeze enemies in their tracks with a press of the B Button, so that Mario can defeat them easily.

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.

It has also been recently announced that Manta Rays will take the place of bloopers from mario sunshine. In that Mario will ride him during a mini race stage. So the return of side stages is relevant.

New enemies have come into the game like the Cosmic Bloopers, and the Cosmic Bullet Bills. However, Mario meets new friends too, like Cosmic Toads and Space Rabbits. 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 as well. Also, the Fire Flower, the Starman, and the Super Mushroom have been confirmed as items. The Super Mushroom will max out your health meter. A strange Ice Flower has recently been revealed, along with a mushroom that turns Mario into a bouncing spring. Also, the Cannon from Super Mario 64 will return.

The game also has a level intro for every star, similar to Super Mario Sunshine. Similar to Princess Peach's castle in Super Mario 64, the Cosmic Observatory acts as the game's central area.

Confirmed Bosses

Seven bosses have been revealed for the game. See their articles:
