Super Mario Galaxy 2

Super Mario Galaxy 2 was released just under three years after the original game. It's not often that the Super Mario series has direct sequels, though Nintendo clearly felt that the Galaxy concept was too good for just one game. Like its predecessor, Super Mario Galaxy 2 features ingenious level designs set in outer space. The creative levels are regarded as some of the best in the history of the platform genre.

It is time once again for the Stardust Festival, held once every hundred years when the Mushroom Kingdom is showered in shining stardust. Receiving an invitation from Princess Peach, Mario heads for the castle accompanied by a stray star child he found wandering the cosmos. But when Mario arrives at the castle, it's already too late. Bowser has harnessed the power of the stars and whisked Peach away. An epic cosmic quest to rescue Peach is about to begin...

Delve deeper into space than ever before as Mario and Yoshi embark on an amazing new adventure. With scores of wildly creative galaxies to explore, all-new power-ups to grab and the freedom to play alone or get a helping hand, saving the day has never been so much fun! Climb to new heights or bowl over the bad guys as Cloud Mario and Rock Mario, and use Yoshi’s unique skill-set to soar, sprint and swing amid the stars.
