Lives deleted in Super Mario Galaxy 2

I wanted to see if anyone else is having a problem in Super Mario Galaxy 2. Everytime I play I start with 4 lives; no matter how many lives I have when I save and quit, I always start again with only 4 lives. It's not that big of a deal but it's kind of annoying when I've saved a quit with a bunch of lives and then lose them. Anyone else having this problem?

Yeah they programmed it that way, it's not a glitch. Talk to the toad to your left when you restart though, he'll give you an extra 5-up.

Thank you! I appreciate it!

that's supposed to happen. i think it's like that in every mario game.themagicbum9720

The only Mario game in which your lives are saved are Sunshine and I think Mario All-Stars.

Lives are so easy to get in Mario Galaxy 1&2, they're almost irrelevant. The next step will be to ditch lives altogether.

In the past when games were harder, lives actually mattered. How frustrating was it to get to Bowser in 5-4 in SMB2 the lost levels only to lose and have to start over on 5-1 or the beginning? Nowadays, games are so easy, lives don't matter.

ya thats normal. but sometimes when i talk to that toad, he gives me 5 up, or he actually gives me 99 lives which was the amount of lives i originally had.

and i wish lives were actually imrpotant, and health meters too.

Yoshi's Island too. I almost have 200 lives in my GBA version.

Nope. Your lives are saved in both New Super Mario Bros. games as well.
