Super Mario Sunshinemay beone of the worst selling Mario gamesever, but that doesn’t mean that it was all bad. Apparently Nintendo doesn’t hate the game either, as portions ofSuper Mario Galaxy 2clearly acknowledge the water-sports-and-dinosaur-vomit-packed Gamecube title. “Acknowledge” may be too weak of a word. If this video was the only thing I knew ofGalaxy 2, I’d swear that it was a straight sequel toSunshine.
The video only has about 15 seconds of game footage; short but sweet. Yoshi looks like he’s lot more fun to ride inGalaxy 2than he was inSunshine,even if he isn’t constantly puking anymore. That Bionic Commando-tongue of his more than makes up for it. Plus, if that statue is any indication, those half-naked, big-nosed weirdos are back! What are they called again? Finobarbitals? Finotypes? I know it was Fino-something…
I clearly need to bone up on my Mario-lore before I jump intoGalaxy 2on May 23rd.
