Come May 23 I believe that Nintendo will have ensnared me all over again. I know it sounds like standard Super Mario equipment, but it still makes me eager to explore. Other new power-ups include a special glowing berry that causes Yoshi to light up in order to illuminate dark areas. I sincerely hope that I'm wrong because that character artwork of a stony Mario is too amusing to dislike (particularly the rocked-out hat action). I'm getting a Spring Mushroom vibe from the Rock Mushroom in that it sounds like a power-up that could be really useful if only it weren't so difficult to control. It’s pretty much just an introduction to smashing things, one that culminates in a boss battle versus an adorable giant baby armadillo, who you have to bash in the ass three times. You can jump while in rock form, which I am pretty sure will translate into some really hard levels that will involve rock-jumping. Once Mario smashes something, he reverts to walking around, and you can turn into a rock again by shaking the Wiimote. Featuring out-of-this-world platforming across a wide array of unique planets and space environments, players can go it alone as Mario or team up with his old buddy Yoshi as they platform and puzzle-solve to. Like big giant red crystals that have things inside them. Super Mario Galaxy 2 is an action platformer for Wii that continues the space-based fun begun by the 2007 runaway hit Super Mario Galaxy. The boulder smashes into things and destroys them. The first thing I did was pick up the new Rock Mushroom, which turns Mario into a rolling boulder of death. Some of the Super Mario franchise's newest power-ups are still secrets to everybody, but Wired GameLife's Chris Kohler had a sneak peek at one of Mario's new enhancements: the Rock Mushroom. The company has earned its reputation for taking secrecy to unheard levels. Nintendo hasn't told us everything about the upcoming Super Mario Galaxy 2, of course.
