Super Mario Galaxy 2

Super Mario Galaxy 2 is the upcoming sequel to Super Mario Galaxy announced for the Wii, which will be released in 2010. The sequel uses lots of elements from its predecessor, such as Launch Stars, the Bee Suit and the gravity elements, but also has new elements such as Yoshi, last seen in Super Mario Sunshine. The music heard during the trailer is a remix of tunes found in the original. According to Miyamoto, the game will be released in 2010 as a response to New Super Mario Bros. Wii, coming at the end of the year in 2009. He also states that the game contains 90% of new worlds which the plumber will explore in this edition, while the rest belongs to some levels seen in the original Mario Galaxy, with different objectives.

Gameplay Elements
Mario will find Yoshi in an egg, which he has to simply crack to open. Yoshi will change colors when eating a power-up. An Orange Yoshi can run very fast, a Light Blue Yoshi gets inflated and floats upwards like the Bee Suit. When controlling Yoshi, the player's Wii Remote cursor is the target for Yoshi's tongue.

A Luma and the Star Spin make a return. Mario is seen sliding down a ramp. Also, 2D stages as seen in Super Mario Galaxy make a return. Mario is seen swimming underwater, picking up a drill, hitting switches that freeze water, hitting switches that briefly stop time, and rolling a giant snowball.

In a Purple Coin stage, Mario is seen alongside many dark Marios who follow everything he does.

There is a Galaxy in which some planets are in the forms of musical instruments.
