Description

What a cosmic package! Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 have been souped up for the Nintendo Switch, bringing two interstellar classics to a new generation! Super Mario Galaxy One small step for Mario, one giant leap for Nintendo... Actually, that's not entirely true. Mario makes some pretty impressive leaps, too. 'How?' we hear you cry! Well, if the title didn't make it obvious, Nintendo has taken Mario into space. Zero gravity would make you jump pretty high, too... Some nasty folks have had away with Princess Peach and made off with her into space. Fortunately, Mario has found himself able to follow, so off he trots... well, flies. That's the plot. 'Nuff said. Happily for long-time Nintendo fans, Galaxy is not easy to complete. The trick Nintendo Tokyo has pulled here is quite an ingenious one: Galaxy gives you all the moves you'll ever need and makes sure that it's perfectly easy to use every last one of them, but then it takes the liberty of pushing Mario to his outer limits through a long string of stages that appear to have been designed by madmen. There's something of The Prisoner about it: you're trapped in a pretty messed up place where nothing is ever quite what it seems, and you find yourself in ever more bizarre situations. In comparison, looking back, the level design in Super Mario 64 is tame. So, as we said, one giant leap for everyone... Super Mario Galaxy 2 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 chillies 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!
