Have to buy Super Mario Galaxy 2 having played SMG1?

Question

I've played a lot SMG1. From reviews I still don't get if SMG2 is a must-have despite I have SMG1. How much is it different?

Answer

In one sense it's "more of the same" in that you work your way through "worlds" and "galaxies" finding stars and beating sub bosses to rescue Peach from Bowser.

However, there are differences:

  • the navigation between worlds and galaxies is different - you're travelling through them rather than visiting from a central hub.

  • You get to play as Lugi during the main game, either as a suggestion on random levels or eventually by choice.

  • Yoshi is available on some worlds.

  • The worlds/galaxies are all new - though there is some "borrowing" from earlier games. See this question

  • What happens (in terms of replayability) when you complete the game is different. See this question
