Anyone who read my last blog will know I've started a challenge recently to complete the whole of Super Mario Galaxy, with all 242 stars and all the purple coins. All by the time the new Super Mario Galaxy 2 is released in the UK. Someone mentioned in a comment that It would be easy, as they'd completed the whole thing in 3 months. However, I am never the type of gamer who completes games in short periods of time, I always spread it out for ages. On top of that, I won't have a Wii for two weeks soon, so that will be even more time to make up for! So yeh, this will be a real challenge for me.

Anyway, on to my current progress. I've played it for the last 4 days, and I'm on star 19 so far. 10 of those were from last night :P I reckon I'm getting on quite nicely. I'm loving the game, and I'm finding it sad to move on from galaxy to galaxy, each one is just so lovely :) All the music is fantastic too. I especially love the ambient music of Space Junk Galaxy.

The one thing that I have realized all over again is the low difficulty of Super Mario Galaxy. I rarely find myself with under 10 extra lives, simply because the levels are pretty easy, and it's very easy to gain extra lives. It's quite nice and relaxing in a way, but I'm really looking forward to the sequel so that I can experience the galaxies in a more challenging way :)
