And a Mario game that also didn't become a launch title. Did this extra time give Nintendo the opportunity to perfect a new Mario platformer? The answer is yes. Bigger, better and what-are-you-waiting-for-go-play-the-game! ============================================================================== Walkthrough [SM.03.01] ============================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Prologue [SM.03.02] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Every hundred years, a comet appears in the skies above the Mushroom Kingdom. The comet was so large one year, it filled the skies and sent countless shooting stars raining down. The Toads brought the shooting stars to the castle, where they became a great Power Star. It should have been a very happy time for the citizens of the Mushroom Kingdom. That was the night of the Star Festival, held once every hundred years to celebrate the comet, "Dear Mario, I'll be waiting for you at the castle on the night of the Star Festival. There's something I'd like to give you. From Peach."" You see Mario running happily towards the castle. It's time for you to control the plumber. Some Toads will talk to you when you get near them, others will require you to press A when you're standing (or running) near them. Talk to any one you like and make your way down the path to trigger the next part of the intro to start. On your way collect the star bits that fall from the sky. You can't have to run over in order to pick them up, just wave your Wiimote over the screen to catch them. When you walk over to the square, you'll see how Bowser invades Mushroom Kingdom -- once again. Mario starts to run around to avoid getting hit by the things fly around. Bowser gets near Peach with his ship and gives a little speech. He invites Peach to the new galaxy he's creating. How nice! Total chaos. Got to love it. Run down the path to the castle and you'll see how a UFO and four ships take the whole castle away. Peach screams for Mario, but Mario is occupied by an enemy and will be blasted away. Mario awakes by the sound of the star that Peach held in her arms. It turns into a rabbit-like animal. Follow it until you reach more of then. Instead of focusing on the problem here, they want to play hide-and-seek. Fine. The easiest way to catch them, is by shooting star bits at them, and then walk over to them. Shoot using the B-button. Find all three of them (it reminds me of that annoying bunny in the dungeons of Super Mario 64) to end this game. Talk to the star-things to find out you're at the gateway of the starry sky, which is a connection somewhere deep in space. At the top you'll find 'Mama' who looks a lot like Peach. Her name is Rosalina and she'll give you the power to travel through space by handing out Luma. You also get the power to shake. That's right, shake it baby! Ok, that was lame, but use the power to break the ice in front of you. Then shake again at the Launch Star, which will shoot you through space. At the next planet you need to fix the Launch Star by finding all the Star Chips. Sounds easy enough. The chips aren't hard to find. Some are covered in ice, but most just lay around. Watch out for the black hole, the comets and the Goombas and you'll be fine. There is also a 1-up to be found on a block. When ready, visit the next planet. The star here is trapped, and a Goomba has the key. Get rid of all of them (and get the coins in the ice as well) to get the key. The star will transform which allows you to go to the other planet. There is a large Goomba here. Hit the pins to flip it over, then kick it. Head to the now freed star and enter the pipe. In here, you need to step on all the yellow switches and turn them blue. When you did that, the machine will be disabled and you'll get your first Star. Congratulations! By doing this, you opened a new world - the Terrace. After a little chat, enter it. Point the cursor at the Pull Star and press A to see an overview of worlds (or galaxies, as they are called) which you can visit. You need more stars to visit some, you know the drill. Reveal the one with one star - Good Egg Galaxy. It's time to visit this galaxy, don't you think? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Good Egg Galaxy [SM.03.03] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ***** Star 1 - Dino Piranha ***** At the first planet, head to the top of the stone tower to find your next buddy. He'll shoot you to the next planet. At this planet, you need to create your own star, like before. Watch out for the brown parts, since this slows Mario down, making him an easy target for the boulders rolling around. A smaller planet is coming up. Hit the Piranha with a starbit, then shake to get rid of it. A vine will come up. Shake the Wiimote in order to swing yourself to the next planet. It's the same deal here, but there's a larger Piranha. Hit it, wait till it falls down and then jump on it. This will create a new vine, which allows you once again to get to the next planet. Here move to the other side to find a new Luma. Move up the castle and launch yourself forward to your first boss. Grab all the star bits you can get here and then get ready. You'll land on top of the egg, which'll crack it. Hit the tail by shaking against it to reveal the real boss. You need to repeat this three times in order to kill it. Let the dino run at you, then quickly changes directions and get behind it. You may need a few tries, but it's easy enough. Back at the Terrace you'll learn how to use the star bits. Get the few that are here, then shoot 5 at the Luma. ***** Star 2 - A Snack of Cosmic Proportions ***** We'll need to take another path here. Go to the fortress again, but find the alternative path to find a blue Luma. He asks you too look after his hungry friend. The next planet isn't too hard. Just find the star that's locked inside a piece of ice and move on. Shake so you can continue, and whenever you find another star, shake again so you fly further. You'll land on a planet with the hungry friend the other Luma was talking about. Give him something to eat (why doesn't he eat the two bits he's holding?). Once you gave him 100 bits, he'll transform into a new planet. If you don't have enough bits simply backtrack a bit until you do. Head towards the new planet. You need to climb up here. At a certain moment you'll find a green blob and three spiky plants. Hit the blob so it'll hit a plant, and get the 1-up. And it doesn't end here. You can wall jump to take a short shortcut. The next planet is a big glass planet, and it's obvious you need to go inside in order to continue. To get inside you need to find the glass that's covering the hole. Break it and go inside. Once in, you'll be greeted by a new law of gravity. Blue means down, red means up. Navigate through and try not to make Mario very sick. Once you walked a full circle and you're in a red zone, wait until you see moving platforms. Wait until they are up so you can walk to the other side without falling down. Then it's just following the path to the next launch star. At the final part, you need to find the five shards. When you got them, pull yourself around until you hit the star. This will unlock a new galaxy. You can either go there, or finish this galaxy first. It's up to you. ============================================================================== FAQ [SM.04.01] ============================================================================== Q: [insert some question] A: [insert some answer] ============================================================================== Conclusion [SM.05.01] ============================================================================== I hope you enjoyed my guide, since I put a lot of work in it.
