Super Mario Galaxy 2 - The Soundtrack UPDATES: -I added Hightail Falls without any SFX to the front.
The story follows as he pursues the Koopa King, into, where he has imprisoned and taken control of the using Power Stars and Grand Stars. Mario must travel across various to recover the Power Stars in order to travel to the center of the universe and rescue Princess Peach.The game was originally planned as an updated version of Super Mario Galaxy; this version would have been called Super Mario Galaxy More. It was later decided that the game was to be developed as a fleshed-out sequel when the development staff continued to build upon the game with dozens of new ideas, and so development time expanded to two and a half years. Among the additions are dynamic environments, new, and the ability to ride.Upon release, Super Mario Galaxy 2 was met with widespread critical acclaim, and is regarded by many to be one of the, as well as one of the highest rated video games on websites. It is one of the with over seven million copies sold worldwide. See also:The gameplay of Super Mario Galaxy 2 is similar to, with a focus on platforming based on and around 3D, referred to in-game as, with varying themes, sizes, landscapes, and climates.
The player controls Mario (or later in the game, his brother, though using him is optional), who has special abilities such as the 'Spin' attack, long jump, and a variety of. As in the original, the objective of the game is to travel to the various galaxies and collect Power Stars, which are awarded by completing levels and accomplishing tasks and are used to gain access to later levels. The game retains some gameplay mechanics introduced in the original, such as the blue Star Pointer that allows the player to collect Star Bits and shoot them at enemies, levels that restrict movement to a 2D plane, balance ball levels, and gravity-reversing background arrows. Setting and level design The game provides the player access to the game's galaxies through means of a similar to that in previous Mario games such as. This is navigated via a mobile planet called Starship Mario that serves as a, which can be visited anytime and is expanded when new abilities or levels are unlocked. The game contains forty-nine galaxies allotted among seven different regions in the universe (called 'worlds'), the general difficulty progressively increasing in each world. The first six worlds end with a in which the object is to defeat Bowser or Bowser Jr.(the former being in even-numbered worlds, and the latter being in odd-numbered worlds), which then allows the player to access the next world.
When the player collects all 120 Power Stars, 120 Green Star levels are unlocked. These levels, containing Green Stars that are hidden or placed in hard-to-reach areas, require intense exploration and precision and may cause instant death if the player fails.
Super Mario Galaxy 2 contains 242 unique Power Stars to collect overall.Most of the in Super Mario Galaxy 2 offer a unique task based around its theme, and many focus on dynamic environments that change or alternate between various states. For example, some environments change to the of the, such as sudden shifts in the direction of gravity or the appearance or disappearance of platforms; and others feature a special switch that temporarily slows down time. Prankster Comets, which were featured in the original game and cause variation and tougher challenges in levels, no longer appear randomly in visited galaxies but instead require the collection of a Comet Medal in that galaxy in order for it to appear. In addition, Prankster Comets have become more general and offer any number of variations: while Super Mario Galaxy offered only five mutually exclusive variations, the Prankster Comets in Super Mario Galaxy 2 range to any number of challenges that often mix or overlap. These include: destroying all the enemies, collecting 100 Purple Coins, completing the level within a time limit, completing the level with only one maximum health unit, or avoiding Cosmic Clones ( of Mario that imitate the player's actions).
As a result, both the dynamic environments and the Prankster Comets often create challenges with puzzle elements, requiring precision and strategy in order to overcome them. Power-ups. Cloud Mario is one of the new power-ups in the game. Mario is using the power-up, creating temporary platforms in midair to get to out-of-reach places.All the original transformations in Super Mario Galaxy return except for Ice Mario and Flying Mario, along with some new and items.
These include the Spin Drill, which allows the player to burrow through planets and emerge out the other side; Rock Mario, which allows the player to smash through obstacles, such as boulders and enemies; and Cloud Mario, which allows the player to create temporary platforms in midair.Mario is able to ride the dinosaur in certain levels. When riding Yoshi, the player's blue Star Pointer is replaced by a red dot, which allows the player to point at various objects and manipulate them with Yoshi's tongue. Yoshi can also use his tongue to swing across gaps, pull levers, and swallow enemies (with the option to spit them back out as projectiles).
In addition, Yoshi allows the player to double jump. There are also three different power-up fruits available for Yoshi to eat that grant him temporary abilities.
These are the Dash Pepper, the Blimp Fruit and the Bulb Berry. The Dash Pepper allows Yoshi to run quickly, giving him the ability to run up walls and run on water; the Blimp Fruit allows Yoshi to float in the air; and the Bulb Berry allows Yoshi to reveal secret pathways.
If the player takes damage while riding Yoshi, the player will fall off and Yoshi will run away until the player gets back on him. If the player does not get back on, Yoshi will retreat into his egg.Guides and multiplayer Because of the game's increased difficulty over the original, Super Mario Galaxy 2 offers some features that assist inexperienced or frustrated players. The most notable is the Cosmic Guide, similar to New Super Mario Bros. Wii's 'Super Guide' feature, who takes the form of Rosalina. The Cosmic Guide appears if the player has failed during a particular level a certain number of times, and allows the player to give computer control over Mario to complete the level. The drawback is that the player is awarded a Bronze Star, requiring the player to complete the level without using the Cosmic Guide to earn a Golden Power Star. There are also called 'Hint TVs' that will demonstrate how to perform a specific move or optimal ways of using a power-up.Multiplayer gameplay has also been expanded upon over the original.
In Super Mario Galaxy, another player could use a second to control a second Star Pointer and assist Mario by grabbing enemies or collecting and shooting Star Bits. In Super Mario Galaxy 2, the second player now controls an orange Luma who retains all the original abilities, but can also physically attack enemies and collect items, power-ups and 1-ups, making the player's involvement more useful.Story invites to share cake at the Star Festival, a time when Star Bits rain down from the skies over the. On his way, Mario finds a lost Baby Luma, who immediately befriends him and grants him the ability to spin. Shortly thereafter, Mario's nemesis, who has grown to an immense size after swallowing Grand Stars, attacks Princess Peach's Castle. Kidnapping the princess, Bowser escapes into to recreate his empire at the center of the. After launching into outer space, Mario is given control of Mario, a mobile in the shape of his head, made by a crafty Luma mechanic called Lubba, powered by Power Stars, and piloted by other Lumas; his mission is to fly across the universe in pursuit of Bowser and the Princess. Along the way Mario meets new Lumas and joins up with his companion, the Toad Brigade from the original Super Mario Galaxy, and his brother.Upon collecting enough Power Stars, Mario reaches Bowser's giant starship fortress, draining energy from what appears to be a comet.
Mario infiltrates the starship and defeats Bowser, retrieving the last Grand Star. And her Comet Observatory from the first Super Mario Galaxy appear before Mario and Peach. Rosalina thanks Mario for watching over Baby Luma that he had found, and Baby Luma returns to the Comet Observatory, taking Mario's hat with him. Mario and his friends return to the Mushroom Kingdom and celebrate their victory.
The game ends with Starship Mario sitting above Princess Peach's Castle, with the Comet Observatory streaking across the sky.Development After Nintendo finished Super Mario Galaxy, approached the development team and suggested that a follow-up be produced. The game was originally planned to just do variations on the original game's planets and call the game ' Super Mario Galaxy More', and was dubbed ' Super Mario Galaxy 1.5' during early development, with a projected development time of approximately a year.
The first elements that were implemented were anything that was scrapped from the original game, either to ensure or simply because of time constraints, such as Yoshi and the concept of a planet shaped like Mario's head. Over time, more and more new elements and ideas were brought into the game, and it was decided that the game would be a fleshed-out sequel rather than a slightly modified follow-up. Thus, development took two and a half years. Takeshi Hayakawa, the lead for Super Mario Galaxy 2, created a that allowed different staff members, including visual and sound designers, to easily design and create stages without waiting for programmers, many of which were incorporated into the final game.In order to help distinguish Super Mario Galaxy 2 from its predecessor, the staff originally wanted the whole game to revolve around the concept of 'switching', in which the game's environments would dramatically change under certain conditions. This concept ended up being particularly difficult to implement full-scale, so was relegated to only certain levels.
Another idea that came up early on were inclusions by other Nintendo characters (specifically and ). The idea however was nixed by Miyamoto who stated that Pikmin characters wouldn't work within the Mario universe, and that there was no reason for other such cameos. Game were confined to an optional system called the 'Tip Network' in order to benefit players already familiar with the original game. Miyamoto compared Super Mario Galaxy 2 to, in that both games use the same engines as their predecessors, yet build upon their foundations.The game was revealed at the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2009 on June 2.
In Miyamoto's private conference, it was stated that the game was very far along in development, but its release was held back to mid-2010 because of New Super Mario Bros. Wii 's release in late 2009. Miyamoto also stated that the game has 95–99% new features, with the rest being previous features introduced in Super Mario Galaxy. With regard to the original game, President and CEO stated in an interview that the sequel would be more challenging, and Miyamoto said in a interview that the game would have less focus on plot.
Miyamoto initially hinted that the game might utilize the 'Super Guide' feature, introduced in, into the game, and this was confirmed by Nintendo's Senior Manager of Product Managing, who claimed that the feature was implemented differently compared to what New Super Mario Bros. The feature is called Cosmic Guide, where the Cosmic Spirit (Rosalina) takes control of Mario.The game made its playable debut at the Nintendo Media Summit 2010 on February 24, 2010, when a second trailer for the game was released, and its North American release date on May 23, 2010 was finally announced. The Japanese, European and Australian versions of the game came packaged with an instructional DVD manual, explaining the basic controls, as well as showing advanced play.
The voice actors from Super Mario Galaxy reprise their roles for its sequel including additional voices by who played Lubba.In January 2015, late Nintendo president announced at the presentation that Super Mario Galaxy 2, alongside other Wii games such as and, would be on the 's. It was released on January 14, 2015. Music Super Mario Galaxy 2: Original Soundtrackby. See also:As with the original Super Mario Galaxy, Super Mario Galaxy 2 features a musical score written for and performed by a (known as the Mario Galaxy Orchestra in the credits). Early in the development process, when the concept of 'Super Mario Galaxy 1.5' was being considered, there were no plans to use different music from the first Super Mario Galaxy. However, as the game evolved, the sound team, headed by, realized they needed new music that fit with the new gameplay mechanics that were being added.
Although they were hesitant to use a symphony orchestra again because of recording difficulties, general producer Shigeru Miyamoto gave permission immediately – according to Yokota, Miyamoto felt that players would be expecting an orchestral soundtrack. Miyamoto also apparently suggested that players would want to hear arrangements from Super Mario Galaxy, which is why the soundtrack is a mixture of brand new pieces and arrangements of themes from the original Galaxy as well as many past installments in the Mario series, such as.
Ryo Nagamatsu, who worked previously on, and, contributed nine pieces to the soundtrack.recruited sixty musicians for the orchestra, ten more than the number of musicians used for the original game's score, with an additional ten musicians providing a big band style of music with trumpets, trombones, saxophones and drums for a grand total of seventy players. The orchestral performances were conducted by Taizo Takemoto, renowned for his work with the in 2002, while Kondo served as a supervisor, while also contributing five pieces to the soundtrack. The soundtrack was available as a 2-disc set to Japanese members.

Most reviewers agreed that the game either lived up to or surpassed the original Super Mario Galaxy. It has an average critic score of 97% at GameRankings and 97/100 at Metacritic, making it one of the highest rated games on the sites.Tom McShea from called it a 'new standard for platformers,' giving it a perfect 10.0, making it the seventh game in the site's history to earn that score.
Other perfect scores came from, stating 'this isn't a game that redefines the genre: this is one that rolls it up and locks it away,' and 's Craig Harris, who felt that the game 'perfectly captures that classic videogame charm, the reason why most of us got into gaming from the start.' IGN later placed Super Mario Galaxy 2 4th on their 'Top Modern Games' list. IGN also listed Super Mario Galaxy 2 as the greatest Wii game of all time. Editor Susan Arendt echoed this view by stating it 'doesn't tinker with the established formula very much, but we didn't really want it to,' while commented that 'there's something tremendous for just about everyone and games that we can truly recommend to almost everyone are rare.' Ryan Scott at regards it a much better game than the first Super Mario Galaxy, stating 'for a series that's explored every conceivable angle of its genre, the Mario games keep coming up with ways to challenge our notions of what a platformer can and should do.' 's Ryan Davis particularly praised the improved level designs, commenting that the designers were 'bolder' and 'more willing to take some weird risks with the planetoids and abstract platforming that set the tone in the original Galaxy,' while Chris Kohler from commented that the level concepts alone 'could be made into full games on their own.'
Additionally 's Justin Haywald noted the expanded soundtrack as 'sweeping.' Praised the graphics, saying that despite the Wii's technical limitations, Galaxy 2 'understands how to get the most out of aging technology that nearly all graphical flaws are smoothed over or covered up, leaving you with Wii's best-looking title to date.' Editor Andrew Pfister awarded Super Mario Galaxy 2 a 5/5, calling it 'the culmination of 20 years of Mario gaming into one fantastically-designed and creative platformer.' Despite this praise, some critics raised complaints over increased difficulty and the game's similarity to the original Super Mario Galaxy. Chris Scullion from called it the 'new best game on Wii,' but said it lacked the original's impact (though they admitted the extreme difficulty of this, due to the quality of the original). Editor Matt Helgeson was concerned with some of the challenges being potentially 'frustrating,' particularly towards the end of the game; similarly, Ben PerLee from remarked that the 'increased difficulty and high proficiency requirement may turn new fans off.'
However, Worthplaying editor Chris DeAngelus praised the game's difficulty, stating 'perhaps most positively of all, there are very few sequences where death will feel like a result of bad design instead of player error, which helps keep the frustration down.' Sales In Japan, Super Mario Galaxy 2 sold 143,000 copies on its first day of release and 340,000 copies in its first week, about 90,000 more than the first Super Mario Galaxy sold in the same amount of time.
