It's still a pretty big coincidence that a galaxy out in space would have the exact same structure as a painting world.

Who cares about that ? There's no canon. In the world of SMG2, it's never said that SM64 happened. Heck, even SMG2 isn't canon to itself, as the intro shows it's only a storybook. It'd seems that SMG was a storybook too, as the narrator says he'll "tell us another story, that also starts during the star rain" or some crap like that. SMB3 isn't canon to itself either, just like the Paper Mario "trilogy".

Also, if I remember well, the "painting worlds" are supposed to actually exist around the planet, with the paintings, holes and stuff being the portals that lead to those "worlds". This is supported by the fact that if you fall from the last secret course (the one in the sky with red coins, I can't remember its name) you land near Peach's castle.

How is it that one moment you're discussing what solar system Mario lives in yet now you're saying the games "aren't canon to themselves"? There's no canon to even FIT the games INTO. There's NOTHING that says whether or not games did or didn't "happen". They simply exist. End of discussion.

Secondly, it should be noted that the Over the Rainbow sub-course wasn't accessed through a painting. I think it's heavily implied that all the sub-courses are actually a part of the castle, while some of the main courses exist within the paintings and walls.

Turtlekid:

While that video was awesome, that's quite an enormous spoiler and it kinda ****ed me off in the end because now I'm totally gonna be expecting that. I'm hoping there's other surprises similar to that so it's not 100% ruined for me and others.

Could you please edit that URL to say "spoiler warning" or something on it for other members that aren't wanting anything spoiled? Thanks.

If you're trying to protect yourself from SMG2 spoilers why are you reading a thread titled, "Super Mario Galaxy 2"?

The title isn't "Super Mario Galaxy 2 Spoilerz", so if any spoiler-tastic material gets brought up in the midst of the thread's original purpose (thoughts, speculations, wish list, etc.), a simple warning would be nice. Besides, I didn't create this thread just to avoid it.

Only watched a few minutes of that 1UP video (since video buffering is painfully slow on this computer), but I liked every bit of what I saw.  Also, Transmission 16'll probably be out in a couple of hours, if it isn't already.
If she is indeed genetically mutated such that she has an eye in the back of her head, then I guess that she is genetically mutated and has an eye in the back of her head.

Oh the memories... this makes me want Super Mario Galaxy 2 even more! Thankfully, the release is only 2 days away.

So I called Gamestop and they said they're opening an hour earlier (10AM) for the release tomorrow. However, I looked at the promotion on Gamestop's main website and it says all participating stores across the whole country will be opening at 9AM. The hell? The Gamestop I called is participating according to the website's store locator, but according to the guy I spoke with, either they're gonna be jack***es and open up an hour later or I was told the wrong information.

Lolz.

Eh, I suppose it kinda didn't matter in the end since I ended up not being able to go until about 11AM.

Anyway, the game is awesome. No spoilers. However, I can reaffirm that the game is well deserving of the 10s it has scored.

Big question: What in the hell is Nintendo gonna do for the next Mario adventure?
