I agree, the Galaxies are all super fun, that's why I am so addicted is because I can't wait to see what is coming next. I think my favorite Galaxies so far have been the Honeyhive Galaxy, because I LOVE being Bee Mario. I also really liked the Freezeflame galaxy, I liked the whole fire and ice theme of it. My favorite Boss's so far have been King Kaliente (the Lava Octopus), and I too really enjoyed Bouldergeist. I'm a little sad that I am nearing the end of this game, but it is SO good that I think I could pick it up again in a couple of months and have JUST AS MUCH FUN the second time around.

Well after one day, and 16 stars I can say this game is really good. I woke up this morning and immediately turned on the Wii (something I normally don't do). The only thing preventing me from playing now is my batteries died this morning.

After reading about what happens when you reach 120 stars I think Galaxy will keep me busy for awhile. Ray surfing was interesting. I think my score was 1:04, but a died a few times before I got the hang of it. How many surfing stages are there?

Also some of the comet stages that I've played are pretty tough.

Yeah, the ray surfing thing was a lot of fun, but it took a while to get the hang of it. There is another Ray Surfing course later in the game, and the "track" is much harder to get through.

Yeah, I've seen some pretty tough ones that have taken me several times. The ones where you have to race the blue version of yourself are the hardest, I think.

Well, I did it. I finished the game, sort of. I beat the game with all 105 stars possible. Now that I have beat the game, it has informed me that the purple comets are in orbit. Now I am working on getting all 15 purple comets for my grand total of 120 stars. I don't want to say too much about the ending of the game, because I don't want to spoil it for anyone, but if anyone has any questions or needs any help, let me know. :)

Congrats on beating the game. How long did it take for you to finish with 105 stars?

I haven't had much time at all to play today, but I did manage to find a few stars. I'm currently at 24 and slowly growing. Some stages are fairly easy, while others are actually pretty difficult. The first Bowser fight had me confused for a little bit until I figured out what to do.

And I agree Simba3 chasing Cosmic Mario is hard.

It took me quite a while to beat the game. I bought it on Tuesday and played a lot that day, and I have played everyday since, maybe 2 or 3 hours a day (wow, that's sad). It's too addicting, I couldn't put it down for very long. Anyway, now I'm working on getting the rest of the stars, I think I'm currently at 112 or 113, so I only have about 7 or 8 more to go. I'm curious to see what happens after that. These last few stars are kind of hard to get, some are easy and some are really difficult (or time consuming).

Well I've already watched the ending to Galaxy after you get the 120th star on YouTube. I can't avoid spoilers no matter if its a game or a movie here lately.

Anyway your in for a surprise when you get all the stars. Thats all I will say...

DONE AND DONE! I got the rest of the stars and beat the game with all 120 stars. However, the new victory isn't much different than the original victory. But, I do have the personal satisfaction of knowing that I beat the game and found every single star possible. Did I miss something DarthPrime? Let me know, make sure you put a spoiler alert or write it in white.

I really don't want to spoil it for you. Lets just say its something that I would have never guessed would happen.

I managed to pickup a few stars tonight. I'm up to 35 now. I'm getting there... slowly :)

Well, you really can't spoil it for me because I already beat the game with all 120 stars. The ending just didn't seem much different from the first time. I mean, yes there was a difference and then there was another message at the end of the credits - but it didn't really seem like that big of a deal to me.

After the 120th star this is supposed to happen... I put it in white to avoid spoilers for anyone that doesn't want to know.

After you get the 120th star go back and beat Bowser again. When you do this you will unlock Luigi. At the screen where you start your save file you should have a Mario Luigi flip thing. Change to Luigi, and the game starts over. Its now Super Luigi Galaxy. Luigi is different than Mario, he jumps higher, but slides a little when he stops. After you collect all 120 stars again go back and beat Bowser like you did with Mario to get Luigi. This will unlock the final star/Galaxy. Beat that Galaxy to get the 121st star. So all together there should be 241 or 242 total stars. I'm not sure if you get a 121st star on the Mario game or not, but you do on the Luigi one.

Ok, thank you. That's what happened for me, so I guess I'm right on track.

No problem. I think this gives the game a lot better replay value. Even without it I could see myself going back though this game a few times. This isn't just the best Wii game yet, its also one of the better games I've played in quite awhile.

With getting ready to move to a new house, and being a little under the weather yesterday I haven't had a whole lot of time to play Galaxy this week.

Anyway I just finished the game a few minutes ago, and had a blast. The last stage was pretty tough until I got the timing down for everything. Now I need to go back and collect the rest of the 120 Stars.

As far as the 3D Mario games I would rank Galaxy above Sunshine and 64. This is one amazing game, and it was worth the wait.

Sorry for double posting but I have a question.

For the first set of galaxies,I completed all of them. It has a King's hat on the ones where there is only one star,which stand for completed I'm assuming, I got all three stars on the rest,but no crown appears. Did I forget something?

There are other Stars besides the 3 in each Galaxy. Some are hidden, others appear later. If there is a crown on a Galaxy you have all the Stars in that Galaxy.

Yes, on page two of this thread, a little ways down. Keep in mind with that list that you can't get some of them until later in the game. For example: The second Comet stars in Good Egg, Honeyhive, and I believe the Battlerock galaxies you can't get until later in the game. You also cannot get a second comet in one galaxy until MUCH later in the game.
