For me, the Yoshi abilities and suits really shine in the boss battles. While it's fun to be able to roll over goombas as Rock Mario or make your own platforms as Cloud Mario, to me the meat of the experience still lies in the more traditional levels, which require fast and accurate platforming while throwing mind-bending gravity reversals, moving platforms, and even slow-motion sequences at you. Mario also has a variety of suits, including returning forms like Bee and Boo Mario as well as new ones like Rock Mario and Cloud Mario. Thankfully, the slight “co-op” functionality has been augmented somewhat, as your silent partner can now actually attack enemies onscreen with a spin move. Unfortunately, some other sequences that use the motion controller – some flight levels that control with “paper plane” controls and a Super Monkey Ball-style level that uses the Wii remote like a joystick – are imprecise and frustrating. Both of these abilities are noteworthy for using integrating the Wii remote into the mix of platforming in a real, user-friendly way – something that most games of this ilk have struggled to do. You can also use Yoshi to swing between special flowers in the environment by pointing with the Wii remote. Yoshi’s trademark ability – being able to swallow and spit out enemies (now aimed with the Wii remote) – works extremely well here, lending a shooter-like aspect to the gameplay. Mario’s trusted steed is back, and was perhaps my favorite new feature of the game. The most anticipated of these is the inclusions of Yoshi. Mario Galaxy 2 builds on the strengths of its predecessor, adding new power-ups and abilities to the familiar mix. It played the fundamental elements of platformer designs like a classical composer plays with notes, subtly tweaking gravity, movement, and even lighting in ways that constantly challenged your expectations.
