Super Mario Galaxy a 2-player game with Mario and Luigi?

Super Mario Galaxy has been spotted on the official Wii Software website by Cubed3 as describing the upcoming adventure game as allowing for two players to take part. “Could Mario be joined by Luigi in a bid to save Peach once more?” The official description reads: “Players: 1-2 / Publisher: Nintendo”

Mario’s daddy Shigeru Miyamoto has been quoted before as saying “Super Mario Galaxy takes a lot of the experiments from Mario 128 and implements them in the game. Because of that itâ€™s partly 128 but there are also elements that existed in Mario 128 like running around a sphere and gravity.” This of course brings back strong memories of magazine rumors back in the 90′s saying Mario 128 would feature both a playable Mario AND Luigi.

It remains to be seen if this is: A. CO-OP; B. a tag-multiplayer system (as seen in Donkey Kong Country); C. taking turns after each level (like most Super Mario Bros/World games); D. maybe just 2-player mini-games to flesh out a single-player main adventure (a la Sonic and the Secret of the Rings on Wii). — I’ll be wishing for co-op.

Wasn’t it shown in Video that it will be a Co-Op type with the other person using another Wii Mote to “assist” Mario, played by the other guy.

I hope not, they should make a full fledged co-op mode, don’t you think Reeteshinator? Besides wouldn’t the other person assisting with the Wiimote be… kind of boring?

It was like that in the N64 game Sin & Punishment where in “co-op mode” one player would control the character movements and player two controlled the shooting, but it just took the fun out of the levels.

It wont have shooting and such like that game you mentioned.

In that OLD video that was shown about the two player playing. Miyamoto san said that “Now people who sit beside and shout while playing mario can also join nd help” (shout like my bro )

and the video showed the other person controlling the pointer to connect the stars while the other controlled mario

but that was years ago maybe it will change

Shanghi, it’s more of a two-player co-op mode where the second Wii Remote controller can pick up star bits and shoot them to enemies to help player one who’s playing the game.
