Super Mario Galaxy 2 HAS the Super Guide!

Just read an article courtesy of Destructoid where they got to use it an explain how it works,

"I got to check out SMG 2at Nintendo yesterday and one of the new things that was revealed to me wasGalaxy 2'sversion of the Super Guide feature seen in NSMBW. There's actually two systems in place to aid players: Hint TV and the Cosmic Guide.

Mario will come across special TVs in levels which will show him how to get across certain sections. In one of the levels in the Fluffy Bluff Galaxy, there's a large open space that Mario needs to get across using the cloud suit. Hint TV will show the player how they should tackle the obstacle presented to them. Once the tutorial-like video is over, the player is free to proceed as they wish.

The Cosmic Guide isGalaxy 2'sversion of the Super Guide. If a player finds themselves dying too much or is stuck in an area too long, the Cosmic Witch (pictured above) will come to the player and give her assistance. You'll be able to jump right back in at any point if you let the Cosmic Witch take control of Mario with the press of the + button. Using the Cosmic Guide, however, will automatically give players a bronze star instead of a gold star.

These helpful additions toGalaxy 2means a harderMariogame, just the way I like it." -Hamza

I personally don't care all that much, never even saw the SG in NSMBW once so as long as it doesn't get in my way :P I guess its good to see that Nintendo is pleased with it and are willing to support it in their upcoming games!

Yes You can see them use it for a second in the new teaser.

BTW i really really hope his final sentence is true. I'd like it to be a little bit harder. Just a bit.

This is an awesome feature, good stuff.

It seems like there refining it more from NSMBW which is good and it is still 100% optional so there snothing to complain about

I'm glad they incorporated it :) Let's just hope SMG2 is as hard as people have been saying :D

Ya I heard that awhile ago.

well i personally would never use that super guide at all caus i would rather play the game myself other than have the wii assist. and a harder mario game is good news, we need the challenge.

I don't mind that the Super Guide's in it, just as long as the reward for not using it is better than it was in New Super Mario Bros Wii.

Having all five of the stars on your file sparkle was cool but kinda lame at the same time.

It better be worth it in Super Mario Galaxy 2 :P

I know what it's for :P

It's for casual players who aren't good enough at Mario games to be able to get through the game themselves. It's a help feature and completely optional to use. You're not forced to use it, however If you do use it though, or even if you only unlocked it in New Super Mario Bros Wii you wouldn't get the sparkly stars on your file and you'd have to start a brand new file over from the very begining. The whole point of not using the Super Guide is to show how skilled you are at Mario games. Miyamoto even said himself that they wanted a way to reward the players who didn't have to rely on the Super Guide.

If they're going to incorporate it again in Super Mario Galaxy 2 I just think they should reward players who don't use it with something a little more meaningfull.

YES!

Super Guide seems like one of the best things Nintendo has made this gen, pretty much gurantees (spelt wrong) Galaxy 2 will be hard.

I love the Super Guide feature, even if I will never use it. So I am glad it is in.
