Title: New Super Mario Galaxy information via Nintendo Power

The newest issue of Nintendo Power (October 2007) spills a few more details on Super Mario Galaxy (http://themushroomkingdom.net/games/smg). Below is a list of the things the editors mention:

- Basic storyline: A comet passes over the Mushroom Kingdom every 100 years, raining down magical stars and stardust. The kingdom is celebrating, when all of a sudden Bowser attacks! Mario arrives to put an end to this madness, but the situation worsens. Before he can realize what has happened, Mario wakes up on a moon above the Mushroom Kingdom...

- 120 stars, 40 different galaxies, and six major areas.

- Names of Galaxies mentioned: Gateway Galaxy, Star Dust Galaxy, Egg Planet Galaxy, and Cookie Factory Galaxy (for spoiler reasons, I won't disclose each Galaxies' detail).

- Confirmed Power-ups: Super Mushroom (fills health bar completely), Starman, Fire Flower, Bee suit, and Boo suit.

That's all they seem to mention. I'll make sure to pick the magazine and update you guys with anything else. This seems like the one issue all Mario fans need to get! (Though I'm sure it's just the beginning....)

They still haven't explained how Mario breathes.

WOW!!! Super Mushroom, Starman, and Fire Flower just like the 2D Mario games! I always like the 3D ones better, but since this has a little bit of both, it will definitely be one of the best Mario games ever!!!!!

An earlier Japanese scan also showed classic ? blocks in the game.

I'd like to know why some recent screenshots only show Mario's health meter at three while older ones have it at 8.

Maybe that's part of what Miyamoto was referring to when he said he made the game harder.  I certainly welcome the change.

I conquer. That might solve some complaints that Mario games are too "Easy".

Nintendo is really going the extra mile with this one. I love how Nintendo is using Mario enemies, items and power-ups from the days of yore, and plenty of new ones.

The only disappointment here is that Bowser is the main villain. I was hoping for someone different. Let's hope for a plot twist where Bowser is revealed not to be the main bad guy. Maybe Luigi will be the main antagonist, and is getting revenge against his brother for hogging all the spotlight.

I sure hope that when you can get the Fire Flower, you can actually shoot fire forward, not any other stupid gimmick, I hate it when Nintendo did that to  in SM64DS.

Maybe you'll shoot it in the direction the pointer is pointing.

Because your health starts at 3 and you collect Super Mushrooms and it goes up, I heard the total was 6 though, so, I can't explain that.


Also, thanks again super Jesse. Excellent post.

Incredible! Nintendo Power has worthwhile news no one's heard before!

Frankly, I'm content with 3 or 4 health, especially since it seems like there won't be a whole lot of ways to die (as opposed to previous Mario titles).

It's a nice issue. I've had it for a bit more than a week, and even now I can read the article anticipating the game.

Now that I think it, would the introduction of Princess Rosetta mean a new addition to the character roster of future sport titles?

If my prediction about Rosetta is correct, I doubt it.

Me too. I'm pretty sure she'll just be exclusive to this game.

NintendoExpert is probably right, but then she'll need a partner... Princess... Daisetta?
