Classic items return in Super Mario Galaxy

by Jared Rea { Aug 21st 2007 at 8:20PM }

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.

Kaneda Jones @ Sep 1st 2007 4:01PM

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.
