Super Mario Galaxy 2 Co-Op Review

Super Mario Galaxy was superb, as a single player experience, but the limited co-op was disappointing. Shooting star bits was OK, but experienced Mario players wanted more. Super Mario Galaxy 2 has delivered improvements in this respect, though the co-op is still not ideal.

Luigi Joins Super Mario Galaxy 2 in new Screens and Video

We just got a fresh batch of screenshots and a new trailer for Super Mario Galaxy 2 which shows the green clad plumber having at it with the minions of Bowser.  Sadly it doesn't look like Luigi and Mario will be a co-op pair that are playable in the game, as it's an either or scenario for your goomba stomping.  You'll still be able to play co-op with the 2nd player controlling your sidekick star.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 Co-Op Preview

Earlier this week, we got a glimpse of Super Mario Galaxy 2's co-op mode in action from a screenshot taken off the official Japanese site for the game.  While it wasn't much to go on, we were, never-the-less, hopeful that the second player would have more to do this time around than just shoot stars at enemies.  Joystiq.com recently had the opportunity to get some hands-on time with the co-op mode, and it sounds like our hopes weren't entirely unfounded.  In addition to having more direct interaction with the enemies, your star buddy will also be able to more directly support Mario in his adventure across the galaxy.

Better Co-Op In Super Mario Galaxy 2?

Super Mario Galaxy was a fantastic game, but the co-op elements were less than stellar, if you'll pardon the pun.  You'll recall a second player could join in and shoot stars at enemies, and that was pretty much it.  Perfect for younger gamers, but not exactly compelling for more experienced Mario lovers.  If the above screenshot is any indication, co-op in Super Mario Galaxy 2 will be better.
