Tip Network

The Tip Networks are a new type of object in the upcoming Super Mario Galaxy 2. Tip Networks are mounted on a green and yellow signboard-like post. They provide helpful tips for the player for upcoming obstacles or challenges that lie ahead. Mario will need to stand in front of the Tip Network to activate it. The TV will show a quick demonstration of how to surpass a difficult part of the galaxy. Unlike the Cosmic Spirit, it will not degrade the Power Star to a Bronze Star. The Tip Networks play a similar role to Princess Peach's Castle in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, except that it does not cost the player anything.
