Classic items return in Super Mario Galaxy
Joining the already colorful collection of new equipment found in Super Mario Galaxy come the ol' stand-by's the Fire Flower and the Super Star. Now, our Urban Champion league friends over at Wii Fanboy considered this news to be the most spoiling of spoilers, but really, it's about as shocking as finding out that in Galaxy, you collect coins. Hachi machi! Do you think if you collect a certain amount of them, you'll get an extra life?The Fire Flower went missing during the 3-D installments of the series, but was brought back into the fold with last year's New Super Mario Bros. The same can also be said about the super star power-up, though Metal Mario filled the void at times in Super Mario 64.
For some real spoilers concerning the plot, check out the story itself. Now those we'll protect you from.

Meh, it would have been worthwhile news if they brought back the Tanooki or Hammer Bros. suit. Or Kuribo's shoe.
blooh @ Aug 21st 2007 8:35PM
yeah
also, that show ruled :)

Question: How can you spoil the plot to a Mario game??
Shadow El @ Aug 21st 2007 8:49PM
Because it has a new Princess, among other things.

hola,mamita ,i love you

Let's... all... do... the Mario...
I like the fire flower. I will love the fire flower if you have to do a throw motion with the remote or nunchuck to throw a fireball.
Richard @ Aug 21st 2007 8:30PM
These might not be spoilers, but I'd still consider them welcomed surprises. The fire flower and super star were two of the most glaring omissions from SM64 and Sunshine, and I've been waiting to see them make the venture into Mario's 3D iterations (outside of Kart, at least).
Joshua @ Aug 21st 2007 8:39PM
Wow! I can't wait to use the Fire Flower in 3D!
Exciting, exciting!
Kye @ Aug 22nd 2007 7:10AM
New and exciting!
Joshua @ Aug 22nd 2007 10:17AM
Yes, yes! Shared feelings of excitement!
Tim @ Aug 21st 2007 8:45PM
How about bringing back the fucking mushroom!?
flameofdoom666 @ Aug 21st 2007 8:49PM
They did in Super Mario 64 DS
Tim @ Aug 21st 2007 8:53PM
Well there were flowers and stars in New Super Mario Bros. too, I thought we were talking about home consoles...
flameofdoom666 @ Aug 21st 2007 9:33PM
I thought you meant any 3D Mario game.
samfish @ Aug 21st 2007 11:17PM
The Fucking Mushroom? Is that like Mario's penis or Peach's trusty dildo or something?
captainawesome @ Aug 21st 2007 11:50PM
His mushrooms are a powerful aphrodisiac.
BPM @ Aug 21st 2007 11:56PM
And today's award for Bad Sex Joke goes to... Samfish! Bravo!
samfish @ Aug 22nd 2007 12:59AM
I think I should also get the award for bad Wii/penis joke.

mario sunshine for the gamecube is littered with them.. just finished playing it today on my wii, now I'm all caught up to play galaxy.
flameofdoom666 @ Aug 21st 2007 8:50PM
The Super Star is back. Invincible mario.. woohooo!!! And costumes too! Bee and Boo... and hopefully even more!
Its going to be like Super Mario Bros 3 in 3D, in different Galaxy's, without the Koopa kids!
hydralisk456 @ Aug 21st 2007 9:12PM
How do you know the koopa kids arn't back??? I hope they are!
flameofdoom666 @ Aug 21st 2007 9:33PM
True... but in New Super Mario Bros- it was Baby Bowser- every mini castle.. and there were bosses in the main castles...
I LOVE THE KOOPA KIDS!!
captainawesome @ Aug 21st 2007 9:38PM
Bowser killed them in a drunken rage after their defeat in Super Mario World. Afterwards, rethinking his actions, he had a new son and named him Bowser Jr.
Neebs @ Aug 21st 2007 11:04PM
XD captain
Joshua @ Aug 21st 2007 11:07PM
Um...Who does Bowser mate with? :X
Patrick @ Aug 21st 2007 11:44PM
peach of course, one kid for everytime she gets "kidnapped". Mario is just a jealous exboyfriend that cant come to terms that peach dumped him
Kye @ Aug 22nd 2007 7:13AM
Who the f*ck had sex with Bowser?
And he can get a*s from someone, why does he keep kidnapping the princess?
Oh, so many plot holes.
Ants @ Aug 21st 2007 9:00PM
cool i wonder how the firepower would work in 3d.
prob aim the flames with the wiimote pointer.
hvnlysoldr @ Aug 21st 2007 9:03PM
You could never directly aim Fire Flowers like a shooter before what makes you think they'll change that?
Exo @ Aug 21st 2007 9:14PM
..because its also never been in 3d before.
blooh @ Aug 21st 2007 9:33PM
what about mario64?
Abscissa @ Aug 22nd 2007 3:20PM
@blooh: He meant the fireflower has never been in 3D before.
hvnlysoldr @ Aug 21st 2007 9:02PM
Last I heard the Koopalings were put into an orphanage that burned down. Then they ran away from their destroyed orphanage to the traveling circus just as the village got torched. There they learned psychic powers from an under appreciated 'naut of the psycho persuasion. With their trained powers they come to save the world from the evil menaces of poor plumbing.
mr nimblewick @ Aug 21st 2007 9:21PM
Where's your source for that?
flameofdoom666 @ Aug 21st 2007 9:34PM
What a tragedy... :-( lol

It didn't post hte first time... grrr! SORRY!
hvnlysoldr @ Aug 21st 2007 10:33PM
At least you didn't make a triple post apologizing for your double post.
A little birdie told me that. Then I hosed him for a blue coin.

Patrick @ Aug 22nd 2007 12:09AM
oh the irony!
hvnlysoldr @ Aug 22nd 2007 12:31AM
That's not irony. It's just a coincidence.

Obie @ Aug 21st 2007 9:28PM
Sounds great, this game looks better everytime I see it.
Marasai @ Aug 21st 2007 9:52PM
PWN! i have been missing actual powerups for so long.
NintendoFanbot @ Aug 21st 2007 10:10PM
The biggest phail in any Mario game is not including "The Mario" in DDR with Mario.
Which isn't really a phail at all, as it's a dream that would've never been realized anyways.
megaStryke @ Aug 21st 2007 10:10PM
The Koopa Kids were in Superstar Saga, if that counts.
flameofdoom666 @ Aug 21st 2007 10:51PM
I didn't... I need that game now! hehe
Adv2k1 @ Aug 21st 2007 10:11PM
sounds great to me. With the spherical levels i guess the fireballs will just bounce and go around the planet.
It really seems like this game will be awesome.
mr nimblewick @ Aug 21st 2007 10:16PM
Yeah, maybe they will come back around the planet and hit you if you aren't careful. That's be funny!
