Spring-Mario makes me angry

Now I love Super Mario Galaxy and all. But I do hate Spring-Mario. All that power up does is make what would be simple, fun platforming into a chore. Wether it's due to his inability to stand still, or his need to time jumps absolutely perfectly to actually jump and not just flop over, Sping-Mario seems to be leading the world in making easy platforming frustrating. I almost lost my voice yelling profanities at him. Not to mention it's just mario surrounded by coiled metal, very little aesthetic value there.

Anyone else feel my pain?

At first I was slightly annoyed, but once you get used to him he's fun to bounce around. :)metroidfood

I don't like him either. He wasn't especially bad to control, but it was frusterating to always move. It would be nice to be able to deactivate it or something.

Once you can control his every bounce it's not that bad.

I really didn't think it was difficult and I actually kind of like it. People like games to be too easy for them nowadays. Don't you guys remember the old Mario games on the NES? Those were by no means easy and were much more frustrating than Super Mario Galaxy.CheeChee_Macko

I'm all up for more difficult games, but making a level harder by saying "you have to jump from A to B, except now your character is a lot more awkward to control!" is a poor way to add challenge.

spring Mario is hard i had trouble with him too. i lost a lot of lives that day thinking back on what i could of done with those lives...:( but it's all good now :D

Did everyone forget what all Mario games are like?????? You get like 20 lives, cruise through level after level, without dying, complaining the game is easy, then you get stuck on some stupid part and lose most of those lives. No Mario game is really that hard, but there is always parts that slow you up.

For me i was stuck on the Daredevil comet on Melty Molten or the matter splatter stage. Now that I replay them, they arent nearly as hard, but that is the fun in a mario game.

IMO, this was by far the best Mario game ever made, next to Mario 3 and Mario 64, nothing is perfect, but complaining about getting 3-4 stars of the 120 is better then having a 360 and and GTA 4 frezzing all the time(my friend and my bro have had that problem, pretty bad when only 3 of my friends have a 360)

With every power-up, there is surely a "catch," and that catch is that Spring Mario can be unwieldly at times like a real spring. Fortunately, Galaxy has few places where Spring Mario had to be used, so I am not complaining about his moves.

I never had a major problem with the Spring Mario. I did totally suck at the bomb-throwing-clean-up-trash boardsflazzle

Has it crossed your mind that maybe the spring mario is supposed another obstacle to overcome and not a powerup per se? Cause that's kinda what it is. Or do you also complain about pits, conveyor belts and enemies?

I think the game is overrated, so I am not trying to brag....

But I didn't think that Spring Mario was remotely difficult to control. The only part that made me tear my hair out was the upside down tower that filled with sand. I eventually gave up because the inverted axis while turning tight corners upside down just didn't float my boat.

You get used to him. And it's probably the only thing in the game that wasn't perfect.TheAcejoel99
