Super Mario Galaxy is shaping up to be a great game. However, we know hardly anything about the story beyond the fact that Princess Peach gets kidnapped by a creature from space. So I have a theory on the storyline of SMG;
There are two planets neibouring each other; The Star World and the Mushroom World, where the Mushroom Kingdom is. The Star World is held together by dozens of stars. Without them, the star world drifts into hundreds of small planitoids. For centuries, the two planets could only commuinicate via radio waves sent from one planet to the other. However, new advances in technology has lead the inhabitants of the mushroom world to create a space ship that could get to the star world in a matter of three days. Princess Peach and the seven kings from SMB3 blast off in the ship. Strangely, on the third day of flying, the space association of the mushroom kingdom(TSAOTMK) lost contact with the ship and the star world in general.
Scared that something bad may have happened, The Mushroom Kingdom sent their greatest champions, Mario and Luigi, in a spare ship to investigate what happened. On their third day of flying, a strange creature raids the brothers' ship and destroys it. He places the brothers in two "bubbles" and places them in outer space near Star World. Mario and Luigi remain there for 1 day, cold and hungry...until suddenly the bubble they are trapped in pops! They fall towards Star World. Once they've landed they are greated by a small, tiny, faceless star(he's the cursor that you control in SMG) that claims to be the one that popped their bubbles. He explains that Peach and Co. were brainwashed by the creature (he is the Star World equivalent of Bowser) into stealing the stars that kept Star World together.
Under the influence of this creature, Peach and Co. proceeded to steal the stars and as a result, Star World drifted into pieces. The creature then took Peach and the 7 kings away to his castle. The star told Mario that he needed to collect the stars located on certain parts of Star World inorder to bring the planet back together again.
In the game, whenever you collect new stars, certain parts of the courses that you have played will now become a part of Star World. Collecting a certain amount of stars will allow you to go to other coures to collect even more stars. Older courses become unplayable. However, you CAN play them with the use of Toad's virtual reality system, which becomes available as older courses become unplayable.
Oh,and Goombella did say that "They were able to put a Goomba on the moon in '69". However, the moon is closer to mushroom world then Starworld. It would have taken 25 years to get to star world and back before the mushroom people invented a faster rocket ship.
Sooo... that's just my theory. Please, feel free to leave any comments.
