What's the point of coins, btw? I get a "high score" after every star but I don't see why it's significant.

Anyone who hasn't bought it yet, buy it & get a $25 GC at Best Buy. It's not advertised but force the customer service rep to ring up SKU # 6867688 after they ring up the game.

They are price matching the sick deal by Toys R Us unofficially.

Sweeeet. Would this require a customer service rep with some sort of competence, or should they all understand the situation? I'm bad at these things.

I saw the thread on fatwallet, they will call over a manager usually and he'll have to approve it first. Def a YMMV deal.

Well on all the older games you got a star for every 100 coins in a world, not sure if they still do that because I still don't have the game

You can do the same at circuit city, might need to talk to a manager though. If you really wanted to, you could probably get several this way and ebay the games/gift cards.

I got the last copy they had at Toys R us, unfortunatley I won't have any time to play it for atleast a week.

25 stars in and this game is great.

Re: Mario Galaxy: 97 on Metacritic
 

I'm not crazy about how the gravity works on planets, like how you're running upside down on the bottom of planets and stuff. I realize it's kinda a huge part of the game, but it's just a little disorienting and nausea-inducing sometimes. meh, I suppose if the worlds were just like Mario 64 the game would lose a ton.

I don't really get the point of those little star thingys you collect. I know you can shoot enemies with them and so far you've needed to feed them to certain things, but at one point the game recommend I save a few? how do do that?

Really fun game so far though. Some of the best graphics I've seen on the wii too imo.

This is nice and all, but only really nice if they match the Buy 2 get 1 free that starts on the, 18th I think.

Thus getting a total of 4 games for 125 plus tax.

Up to ~32 stars, still awesome, I don't really like swimming though, it's so hard to control precisely. I think I had the same problem with Mario 64 though.

Question w/ minor spoiler about hidden stars:

<font color="white">Ok, so for those of you who have gotten green hidden stars: If a galaxy has one and you haven't gotten it, will it still say "Galaxy completed" if you've gotten all the regular stars? I just got my first one but I got it before the other star in that galaxy, so I don't know if it would have said "galaxy completed" if I got the other one first. Basically I'm trying to figure out if I might have to worry about going back to galaxies that I've supposedly completed because I might have missed hidden stars or not.
</font>/spoiler

Would like to see if I can get 120 stars without using GameFaqs or anything [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

It won't say galaxy completed until you've gotten every possible star you can in that galaxy (including all hidden and comet stars).

Ill double check tomorrow, but I don't think this is true. I believe I saw galaxy complete on galaxies before I did comet stars on them.
