Super Mario Galaxy 2 took place all in one day because of the wormholes the ship went through to get to each world, as opposed to actually flying to each galaxy. Also, the ending took place at night, while the intro took place in the day, so my theory could be possible. In fact, when Mario actually got back to the Mushroom Kingdom, it was at sunset. Then again, I'm talking about a game series where you can kill the sun with a turtle shell. I'm probably over thinking it.

As you should know, shining star dust rains down from the sky every 100 years. Both games took place at a similar occurance, but at clearly different times (i.e.day and night). The only way that would be possible is if 100 years have passed since the original Super Mario Galaxy.

They also state this in the manual and the game, so it couldn't be a mistake.

Also, he was a baby in Yoshi's Island and since that is cannon, Mario can age.

1. I always thought of them as nieces and nephews to Bowser.

2. Not shocking in the least.

3. I knew his last name couldn't be Mario. I always thought that to be ridiculous.

4. I thought this one was pretty funny, actually.

But that just leaves one question: The time gap in Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. How does Mario look exactly the same when 100 years has passed since the first game?

I'm willing to believe the second one because it's hilarious.

Those colored blocks could be the most helpful thing ever or a living nightmare. It just depends on the person.

The sprites are suprisingly well made. It reminds me of the 2600 Mega Man game at I Am 8-Bit.

... I can't believe it. I feel like part of my childhood has died. I read Nintendo Power every day. I subscribed to them for years. I can't believe they're gone. You will be missed, Nintendo Power. Π_Π Viva La Nester!

Here are a few tips to help you.

• If you grab a Mega Mushroom while using a Gold Flower, the Gold Flower will be stored in your item holder until you use it again.

• Gold Flowers will double the value of golden enemies, golden mushrooms, and Star Coins.

• W 5-A is a great place to get alot of coins without sacrificing time, because it is an auto-scroll stage. Just use your Gold Flower, stomp on the first Koopa you see, and then throw it onto the ship. Get every Koopa in the level to get hit by that shell after you jump through one of the level's many Gold Rings. Eventually, you will get 100 coins per Koopa.

• Touching the very top of the flagpole will double your amount of coins.

• Collecting Star Coins will net you 10, 20, and 50 coins, respectively.

• With some auto scroll stages, timing is key.

• You can destroy almost every enemy in the game with the Gold Flower, including Thwomps, Podobos, Spike Balls, and Dry Piranha Plants.

• Gold Brick Helmets will always contain 100 coins.

I hope these hints will be helpful. Happy collecting, everyone!

None I know of because I never use it, but there probably is, like being unable to use any other power ups (i.e. Gold Flower), or the amount of coins being reduced.


EDIT: I briefly demoed the White Racoon Mario option, and it seems you can't grab any other power ups, so you can't get nearly as many coins. Also, the coin counter will have a white tail in front of it.

Because someone was going to post one of these anyway.

Just list the amount of coins collected in Coin Rush mode, the Level pack you chose, and whether or not you used Invincible Racoon Mario.

Here is my record:
Coins:11,168
Level Pack: Star
Played as: Regular Mario.
