| '''''Super Mario Galaxy''''' is the third ''[[Mario (series)|Mario]]'' 3D platformer, and the follow-up to ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. However, unlike the previous two 3D adventure installments for the [[Mario (series)|''Mario'' series]], this game takes place in deep space. Most of the game's levels consist of many small planets and planetoids, while others have bigger planets. Upon release, ''Super Mario Galaxy'' received some of the highest review scores and appraisals of any [[Wii]] game to date. It has a 2010 sequel also for the [[Wii]], named ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''.

| ==Story==
| | It was a cold morning, only 27 degrees when I arrived around 7:30 am, even though the Survivor auditions were from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., so I could assure that I would have a chance. When I arrived and saw that the line was already considerable in size, and was glad to be there early. |
| [[File:Galaxytown.JPG|thumb|300px|Toad Town, as it appears in this game.]]
| |
| Every hundred years, a comet passes over the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] and rains down magical stars and stardust. [[Princess Peach]] invites [[Mario]] to [[Princess Peach's Castle | her castle]] to join in the festivities and receive a special gift. As the citizens of the kingdom are celebrating the centennial event, Bowser attacks the Toads with his [[airship]]s and freezes them in crystals. He "invites" Peach to the creation of his new galaxy and warps into space with her castle to the [[Bowser's Galaxy Reactor|center of the universe]]. When Mario tries to save her, a [[Magikoopa]] (possibly [[Kamek]]) throws a spell at Mario sending him to a small planetoid and knocking him out.

| | I want to be the Ultimate Survivor, and I know I have what it takes to outwit, outplay and outlast in the game! |
| When Mario later wakes up on the small grassy planet, he meets three [[Star Bunny|Star Bunnies]], who promise to tell [[Mario]] where he is if he can catch them. When he does so, they transform back into [[Luma (species)|Lumas]] and take him to meet [[Rosalina]], who tells Mario that the universe is in great peril after Bowser attacked her ship — the [[Comet Observatory]] — and stole the [[Power Star]]s, including seven [[Grand Star]]s. Without these, the [[Comet Observatory]] is doomed. Rosalina asks him to rescue the [[Grand Star]]s in order to defeat Bowser, who took Peach to the [[Bowser's Galaxy Reactor|center of the universe]]. Mario then starts his journey across the galaxies, freeing [[Power Star|Power]] and [[Grand Star]]s. Once five of the Grand Stars are collected, the Comet Observatory becomes a starship and takes Mario to the center of the universe.
| |
|
| |
|
| Here he defeats Bowser in his brand-new galaxy, retrieves the last Grand Star, and rescues Princess Peach. Without this [[Grand Star]], the [[sun]] of Bowser's near-complete galaxy undergoes a supernova and becomes a supermassive black hole. Everything in the universe begins to be pulled into it. The Lumas from the Comet Observatory, including the Luma who had faithfully accompanied Mario through his journey, throw themselves into the black hole in order to neutralize it. The Lumas attack the black hole's singularity, and it soon disintegrates in a massive explosion. Mario appears in front of Rosalina, who had somehow managed to save him from the cataclysm. She tells him that this is not the end, but a new beginning for the universe, and that the universe is an endless cycle, one that never repeats itself exactly the same way.
| | The picture to the right is of the line in front of me, and the one below is the line behind me. I made a nice panorama shot out of two pictures below, so you could see how long the line really was. Glad I wasn't all the way back there, because it was a long cold wait. |
|
| |
|
| [[File:endingscene.PNG|thumb|Various characters celebrating after the [[universe]]'s recreation.]]
| |
| Mario later awakens in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] near [[Peach's Castle]]. He sees everyone he's met throughout his adventure (friend and foe alike) celebrating the festival, while Bowser and Peach lie next to him confused. When he looks in the air, he notices the reconstructed galaxy. ''"Welcome! Welcome new galaxy!"'' [[Mario]] exclaims, as the camera zooms out into space, revealing that the universe has been reset. If Mario continues, Rosalina states to the player that if he collects all 120 Power Stars, Mario can travel to a new world. If Mario collects 120 stars, a special cut scene plays after the credits. Rosalina and a group of Lumas appear on the planet Mario started on at the beginning of the game. Rosalina says ''"I will watch over you from beyond the stars,"'' and flies off to the Comet Observatory. The white Luma is shown to be alive as if nothing happened, now residing on the small Gate planet, inside a destroyed [[Starshroom]] that is covered in moss.

| ==Gameplay==
| | |
| ===Controls===
| |
| [[File:Pullstarcourse.jpg|thumb|left|Pull Stars are used by pointing the Star Cursor at them and pressing {{button|wii|A}}.]]
| |
| ''Super Mario Galaxy'' has several innovations and additions to the basic 3D ''Mario'' game concept. Mario is controlled with the analog stick and can jump with the {{button|wii|A}}. The {{button|wii|Z}} works just as the {{button|n64|Z}} trigger did in ''Super Mario 64''. The player uses it to make Mario crouch, do [[Somersault]]s and do [[Long Jump (move)|Long Jumps]]. The {{button|wii|C}} centers the camera behind Mario, while the {{button|wii|Pad}} can adjust the camera angle manually.
| |
|
| |
|
| The game also uses the motion-sensors of the Wii Remote. The pointer of the Remote appears as the [[Star Cursor]] on the screen. The Star Cursor is used to perform a variety of actions, such as using [[Pull Star]]s, manipulating [[Sling Pod]]s, and collecting [[Star Bits]]. Shaking the [[Wii Remote]] or [[Nunchuk]] will make Mario perform a [[Spin]].
| |
| | | |
| [[File:Spinings.jpg|thumb|[[Mario]]'s Spin move can defeat enemies or activate machines.]]
| | Surviving My Survivor Camera Auditions |
| By pressing {{button|wii|B}}, players can fire a [[Star Bit]]. When enemies are hit by a Star Bit, they are stunned and can be defeated with a touch, releasing [[Star Bit]]s. Mario can also defeat most enemies by [[jump]]ing on them, which will create a healing [[coin]]. Using the Spin to defeat enemies is also possible. Spinning may also stop an enemy from attacking; if [[Bowser]] and Mario both Star Spin at the same time, both moves get canceled. Also when Mario or Luigi [[Long Jump (move)| Long Jumps]] then when they land on the ground and quickly do a star spin, they'll do a little pirouette like they're dancing. The player can use any of these tactics or only one of them during the entire game, as a specific tactic is never required to defeat a regular enemy. Only special enemies such as the [[Giant Goomba]] in the [[Gateway Galaxy]] might require a Spin. Several enemies are, however, much easier to defeat by shooting them than by jumping on them. As in ''Super Mario Sunshine'', Mario can jump on NPCs to gain extra height or annoy them.
| | I wish I could do the Survivor audition tape over again. It was more difficult than you might think. After standing in the cold for three hours, I finally got to come inside and throw my coat on a chair and run up in front of the Survivor camera. I had hat hair, but so did most of the others. Please give me a call back so I can show you the real me! |
| | |
| Featured in ''Super Mario Galaxy'' is a multiplayer mode named Co-Star Mode. By simply connecting a second [[Wii Remote]], another player can join in and assist the first player by controlling a second [[Star Cursor]], and in doing so can accomplish a variety of different things, some of which the first player can do, but many of which the first player cannot do. When Co-Star Mode is active, "<font color=Blue>1P</font>" will appear below Player 1's Star Cursor, and "<font color=Orange>2P</font>" will appear below Player 2's Star Cursor to help differentiate between them. When Co-Star Mode is not in use, these indicators will no longer appear beneath either player's Star Cursors, until such time as Co-Star Mode becomes active again. The second player can collect Star Bits and fire them at enemies to briefly stun them. When the second Star Cursor is pointed at Mario and {{button|wii|A}} is pressed, the second player can make Mario perform a [[Co-Star Super Jump]]. Combining both jump techniques can make Mario jump higher than when only controlled with one controller.
| |
| | |
| Mario's life meter has been decreased to three total. Originally, the creators of ''Super Mario Galaxy'' thought of giving Mario a 12- or 6-part health meter, but this idea was eventually considered far too easy. There is no longer a separate health bar for underwater levels which decreases slowly. Instead, Mario has an air meter which decreases and hurts Mario's health when it hits zero. The [[Life Shroom|Life Mushroom]] replenishes any lost health and adds a second health meter, making [[Mario]]'s max health six. When Mario's health drops down to three again, the effect of the Life Mushroom is lost.
| |
| | |
| Mario explores a 3D world with planets which have their own gravity. Several levels have arrows which Mario can turn around with a Spin, changing the direction of the gravity. The [[Launch Star]] allows Mario to launch off of a planet and go flying to the next. There is little or no warning that a boss might be located on the next planet, little indication that Mario may be facing something terrible or something peaceful on where he's headed next, and no loading times and screens. The game also contains side-scrolling levels reminiscent of ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' with classic enemies such as [[Goomba]]s and [[Piranha Plant]]s. These side-scrolling levels may also contain directional gravity, allowing Mario to walk on the walls and ceiling.
| |
| | |
| Collecting all 120 stars and defeating Bowser once more unlocks [[Luigi|"Super Luigi Galaxy"]] mode, which replaces Mario with a playable version of Luigi. The storyline is almost the same, even with the original NPC Luigi still being present. The only main difference is that the [[Cosmic Luigi]] reaches the Star earlier than the Cosmic Mario, and Luigi receives 20 [[1-Up Mushroom|1-Ups]] from Peach's letter. Luigi also jumps slightly higher, but has less traction than Mario. When the player has defeated Bowser again and continues with the Luigi story, Rosalina again says if Luigi collects all 120 stars, the player can travel to a new world. When the player collects 120 stars, the player can travel to [[Grand Finale Galaxy]], which shows the celebration of the Star Festival. The 121st star can be found here.
| |
| | |
| ==Galaxies==
| |
| [[File:Egg planet.PNG|thumb|The Egg Planet in the [[Good Egg Galaxy]].]]
| |
| [[Power Star]]s make a comeback, last being seen in ''Super Mario 64''. The goal of the game is to collect 60 stars and defeat Bowser. Similar to [[Princess Peach's Castle]] in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and [[Delfino Plaza]] in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', the [[Comet Observatory]] acts as the game's hub world. There, Mario can access the galaxies from [[Dome]]s. New areas in the Comet Observatory become accessible as Mario gains Power Stars and [[Grand Star]]s. A minimum number of Power Stars is required to have enough power to go to each multi-star galaxy, single non-Grand Star galaxies with a ? Block icon when locked are bonuses for finishing certain star missions. The game has a level intro for each star, as in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''.
| |
| | |
| [[File:GreenPowerStar.jpg|thumb|left|[[Mario]] getting a [[Green Power Star]] in the [[Buoy Base Galaxy]].]]
| |
| Mario encounters Luigi in three levels (in each of the [[Good Egg Galaxy]], the [[Honeyhive Galaxy]], and the [[Battlerock Galaxy]]), who helps him getting a secret star that Mario could not get alone. Mario receives a letter from Luigi every time Luigi has found a Power Star, including a picture which helps Mario find Luigi. After the main game is finished, Mario can return and collect up to 120 stars. ''Super Mario Galaxy'' contains a few different types of stars, including red, green, and [[Prankster Comet|comet]] stars. The [[Green Power Star]]s are secret stars which are used to unlock the [[Super_Mario_Galaxy#The_Trial_Galaxies|Trial Galaxies]] and one [[Red Power Star]] appears when Mario returns to the gate, which allows usage of the [[Red Star]] in the Observatory.
| |
| | |
| After finishing a level, Mario's highest score of coins for the galaxy is recorded and the collected Star Bits are transferred to the [[Comet Observatory]], where Mario can later use them to feed [[Hungry Luma]]s. The requirements for opening up each galaxy is listed below, with Star Bits if the galaxy is created by a [[Hungry Luma]]. Note, however, that some galaxies are not unlocked by simply obtaining a number of stars but by completing a specific star. This is true for all Hungry Lumas except the first, and all bonus galaxies from [[Buoy Base Galaxy]] onward.
| |
| | |
| There are a total of forty-two galaxies in the game.

| |
| | |
| ==Prankster Comets==
| |
| {{main|Prankster Comet}}
| |
| | |
| Prankster Comets are objects which interfere with a Galaxy, giving it an extra attribute. The 30 [[Prankster Comet|comet]] [[Power Star | stars]] are obtained by completing special challenges in the larger galaxies, such as speed runs of certain missions, ''"daredevil"'' runs (in which Mario's max health is one), racing cosmic clones of [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]], and double the speed of enemies. They only appear after the corresponding regular level (e.g. Ghostly Galaxy's Bouldergeist battle) is completed, sometimes immediately and sometimes only after another galaxy's level is completed. In some cases (like the Space Junk Galaxy), the entire galaxy has to be beaten first. There are 2 prankster comets in each of the 15 multi-star galaxies: one of the types of comets just described, plus one [[Prankster_Comet#Purple_Comet|purple prankster comet]] that appears after beating [[Bowser's Galaxy Reactor]] for the first time, forcing missions where the player must collect 100 [[Purple Coin|Purple Coins]].
| |
| | |
| ==Forms==
| |
| Mario regains his ability to attain different abilities via special mushrooms, flowers, and stars, similar to ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', in which he could obtain the [[Wing Cap]], the [[Vanish Cap]], and the [[Metal Cap]] to gain new powers. In this game, Mario transforms into the following seven forms with the stated items:

| ==Unlockable Secrets==
| |
| [[File:LuigiInGalaxy.PNG|thumb|[[Luigi]] encountering [[Bowser]].]]
| |
| Once the player beats the game and gains 120 stars as Mario, he or she can go back to Rosalina and ask to fight Bowser again. Once Bowser is re-defeated, the Player unlocks the option to play as [[Luigi]]. He is slightly faster and jumps a bit higher than Mario, but he has less traction, and the [[Cosmic Luigi]] stars are more difficult to obtain, due to [[Cosmic Luigi]] using shortcuts and techniques not used by [[Cosmic Mario]]. Luigi's [[Spin]] also takes slightly longer to re-charge, and he has less air capacity than his brother. Luigi also loses air for every time he uses the Spin underwater. Once the player beats the game and collects 120 stars as Luigi, the 121st star becomes available.
| |
| | |
| [[File:MLNPC.PNG|thumb|left|''(Left to right)'' Comparison of models for Mario, playable Luigi, and non-playable Luigi]]
| |
| When playing through the game as Luigi, the stars that required Mario to meet Luigi still feature a non-playable Luigi, bringing up the issue of two Luigis in the game. When the playable Luigi first saves the non-playable one from the [[Ghostly Galaxy]], Luigi dismisses his rescuer merely as someone in the universe who happens to look like him. When Luigi rescues himself afterwords, the lost Luigi refers to him as "me" (for example, "I knew I could rely on... me!"). [[Rosalina]] dismisses the two as twins. At first, they appear to be exactly the same. However, if one looks closely at them, one will notice the playable Luigi is wearing lighter green clothes and is slightly shorter. When the [[Mailtoad]] has mail the letter will say it is for Mario and the Mailtoad will feel bad for Luigi and gives him 20 [[1-up]] Mushrooms.
| |
|
| |
|
| If the player collects 9999 [[Star Bit]]s, all the coconuts in the game turn into watermelons. They have the same use as coconuts but have a different color scheme.
| | I filled out my application flawlessly, or so I think. :) |
| | I still had my passport from when I applied to Survivor 2 in the Outback, so I am ready to go. |
|
| |
|
| ==Letters==
| | I have watched every episode from the very first show to now. My favorite shows on TV are Survivor, The Apprentice, and Fear Factor. |
| At various points in the game, the [[Mailtoad]] will give the player a letter and it will be sent to the Wii Message Board.
| |
|
| |
|
| Whenever Luigi needs to be rescued after initially saving him from the [[Ghostly Galaxy]], the letter will say:
| |
|
| |
|
| <blockquote>
| | How I would Feed the Tribe |
| Dear Mario,<br>
| |
| Oh, no! It's horrible!<br>
| |
| Luigi has gone missing!<br>
| |
| What will we do!<br>
| |
| <br>
| |
| Mailtoad</blockquote>
| |
|
| |
|
| After rescuing Luigi each of these times, the letter will say:
| | My Fishing Ability: |
|
| |
|
| <blockquote>Dear Mario,<br>
| | I am an experienced fisherman, and have been fishing since I was 5 years old. There are two small peaceful lakes by my house that do not allow gas engines, so I can enjoy long quite summer days bass fishing. My wife and son like to fish for blue gills, but I prefer a more challenging fish like bass. |
| Thank you for saving Luigi! Keep trying to rescue those Power Stars, and we'll do our best to help! ♪<br>
| |
| <br>
| |
| Mailtoad</blockquote>
| |
|
| |
|
| After getting the 121st star from the [[Grand Finale Galaxy]], the letter will say:
| | On this mount is an 8 pound 24 inch bass I caught, at the lake by my house, on 8 pound line with a purple rubber worm. |
|
| |
|
| <blockquote>Dear (player's name),<br>
| | In Survivor, I am willing to spend long hours fishing to feed the Survivor tribe. I am there to work hard and will not complain about it, like many I have seen on previous Survivor shows. |
| <br>
| |
| Congratulations! We would like to send you a galaxy sized thanks for saving all the [[Power Star]]s and playing to the very end.<br>
| |
| <br>
| |
| Until next time;<br>
| |
| The Super Mario Galaxy staff</blockquote>

| ==Super Mario Galaxy: Original Soundtrack==
| |
| {{main|Super Mario Galaxy: Original Soundtrack}}
| |
| A soundtrack for the game has been released, called '''Super Mario Galaxy: Original Soundtrack'''. It is exclusive to [[Club Nintendo (Customer Rewards Program)|Club Nintendo]] members in Japan and Europe. There is a one-disc edition and a two-disc Platinum edition. Both editions aren't available anymore at Club Nintendo Japan. In Club Nintendo Europe, both editions are still available, with the exception of The United Kingdom and Spain, which only have the regular edition.

| | How I Would Win Challenges |
| [[File:Smg2boxart.png|150px|thumb|right|Boxart for ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''.]]
| | My Physical Fitness Level: |
| Famitsu Magazine has given ''Super Mario Galaxy'' a score of 19/20. To put that in perspective, ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' was given 37/40 and ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' 39/40. The Official Nintendo Magazine UK gave the game 97%. It was called the best game of the decade and praised for having excellent graphics, sound and gameplay as well as a mixture of new features and classic features. Australia's longest-running unofficial multi-format gaming magazine - ''Hyper'', scored the game 97 out of 100, tied for the highest score ever given in the history of the magazine, running since 1993. Also, it was voted by readers as the Game of the Year for 2007. The game placed 51st in the 200th Issue of GameInformer's "Top 200 Games of All Times".
| |
|
| |
|
| At E3 2009, ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' was announced. This makes the [[Wii]] one of the few consoles since the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] to feature more than one main ''Mario'' series title, not counting ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''.
| | I have a gym member ship and lift weights 5 days a week. I enjoy distance running and 30 mile bike rides. Plus, have competed in several triathlons, which is usually a half mile swim, 26 mile bike, finished by a 6 mile run. |

| ==References to Other Games==
| | In Conclusion: |
| *''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' - Several sprites from this game appear here, including a [[Toy Time Galaxy#8-bit Mario/Luigi Planet|planet]] in the Toy Time Galaxy, Mario sprites being in the background of a particular Bowser galaxy, and the background of the [[Flipswitch Galaxy]] resembling the overworld and underworld levels. Also, the main theme of the Toy Time Galaxy is a remix of the main theme. Also, some of the musical notes are music from the game such as the underground theme and the underwater theme.
| |
| *''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'' - Luigi's higher jumping and lower traction returns.
| |
| *''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' - Several pieces of music from this game are remixed here. Airships also return.
| |
| *''[[Dr. Mario (game)|Dr. Mario]]'' - A planet shaped like a giant [[Megavitamin]] cameos.
| |
| *''[[Super Mario 64]]'' - The third and fourth star mission on the Beach Bowl Galaxy feature a similar bit to Shifting Sands painting in ''Super Mario 64''. The [[Tox Box]]es and [[Tsukidashi-kun]] also return. The music of some Bowser galaxies are remixes of the original from ''Super Mario 64''. Peach's Castle design is based on that of ''64'''s, but with a few differences to it. Finally, in both games, after the credits and an ending screen is displayed, Mario would say "Thank you so much for playing my game!". Also, the music for the Rainbow Star is a remix of the Wing Cap theme from the game.
| |
| *''[[Super Mario 64]] and [[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' - Both games begin with a letter being sent from Peach to Mario.
| |
| *''[[Paper Mario]]''- Both games begin with a letter being sent from Peach to Mario, also Bowser's way of kidnapping Peach (by stealing the whole castle) is reused here.
| |
| *''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' - When the player first sees Luigi, he is trapped in a [[Ghost House]]. The fact that Mario frees him is a direct spoof of ''Luigi's Mansion'', as in ''Luigi's Mansion'' it was the direct opposite. Also the music that is being played when a boss tower is unlocked sounds suspiciously like the Luigi's Mansion Dark Room theme.
| |
| *''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' - [[Fire Shooter]]s and [[Water Shooter]]s, which appear in various galaxies, have a strong resemblance to [[F.L.U.D.D.]]'s nozzle. The goal in the [[Loopdeeloop Galaxy]] and the [[Loopdeeswoop Galaxy]] is also shaped in a [[Shine Sprite]].
| |
| *''[[Donkey Kong Jungle Beat]]'' - The flowers that [[Donkey Kong]] flings off of were reused in ''Super Mario Galaxy''.
| |
|
| |
|
| ==References in Later Games==
| | By building this web page I believe I am already outwitting and outplaying the other competitors before the game begins. Anyone could have used the Internet as their venue to be seen. |
| *''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' - [[Rosalina]] can be unlocked by having save data from ''Super Mario Galaxy''; the [[Rainbow Road]] stage is set in space and is full of star bits; its music is a remix of the [[Good Egg Galaxy]] theme. [[Spiky Topman|Spiky Topmen]] were bosses in multiple online tournaments.
| |
| *''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' - The [[Spike Ball]] move used in the last boss fight returns in this game.
| |
| *''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games]]'' - The Dream Ski Jumping Event takes place in Good Egg Galaxy, plus some music from ''Super Mario Galaxy'' can be bought. Also, Purple Coins can be collected in some Dream Events.
| |
| *''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' - During the credits, Peach can be heard saying the letter she sends to Mario at the beginning of ''Super Mario Galaxy''.
| |
| *''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' - Many elements from ''Super Mario Galaxy'' return in the sequel such as the Star Festival story is reintroduced.

| | I will eat anything! |
| *People who pre-ordered ''Galaxy'' in the United States got a small booklet and a commemorative coin with Mario soaring and a Luma on it.
| | I will do anything! |
| *By coincidence, the title ''Super Mario Galaxy'' was first mentioned in a fan letter written to [[Nintendo Power]] by Jimmy Peterford of Glen Cove, New York. The letter in question, which was printed in the December 1991 issue, detailed a fantasy game system called the Raw Power System, which would come bundled with a game titled ''Super Mario Galaxy'', but in Peterford's words, would be "better known as ''Super Mario Bros. 24''!"
| | And I will win reward challenges, and become the Ultimate Survivor. |
| *The [[Super Mario Galaxy Trading Cards]] were released featuring many characters, locations, and items from the game. <ref>[http://www.enter-play.com/products/mariogalaxy.html EnterPLAY > Our Products > Super Mario Galaxy Fun Paks]</ref>
| |
| *GameStop mistakenly listed this as being rated [[ESRB|M]] upon its initial release.
| |
| *''Super Mario Galaxy'' also spawned a sticker collection, which included stickers of characters, enemies, places, and items.

Please CBS, put me on Survivor!
My name is Bret and I applied in the open casting call for Survivor in Mishawaka, Indiana on 1-8-05, which was hosted by WSBT TV and Meijer. Hobbies: Weight Lifting - Biking - Running - Fishing
It was a cold morning, only 27 degrees when I arrived around 7:30 am, even though the Survivor auditions were from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., so I could assure that I would have a chance. When I arrived and saw that the line was already considerable in size, and was glad to be there early.
I want to be the Ultimate Survivor, and I know I have what it takes to outwit, outplay and outlast in the game!
The picture to the right is of the line in front of me, and the one below is the line behind me. I made a nice panorama shot out of two pictures below, so you could see how long the line really was. Glad I wasn't all the way back there, because it was a long cold wait.
Surviving My Survivor Camera Auditions
I wish I could do the Survivor audition tape over again. It was more difficult than you might think. After standing in the cold for three hours, I finally got to come inside and throw my coat on a chair and run up in front of the Survivor camera. I had hat hair, but so did most of the others. Please give me a call back so I can show you the real me!
I filled out my application flawlessly, or so I think. :)
I still had my passport from when I applied to Survivor 2 in the Outback, so I am ready to go.
I have watched every episode from the very first show to now. My favorite shows on TV are Survivor, The Apprentice, and Fear Factor.
How I would Feed the Tribe
My Fishing Ability:
I am an experienced fisherman, and have been fishing since I was 5 years old. There are two small peaceful lakes by my house that do not allow gas engines, so I can enjoy long quite summer days bass fishing. My wife and son like to fish for blue gills, but I prefer a more challenging fish like bass.
On this mount is an 8 pound 24 inch bass I caught, at the lake by my house, on 8 pound line with a purple rubber worm.
In Survivor, I am willing to spend long hours fishing to feed the Survivor tribe. I am there to work hard and will not complain about it, like many I have seen on previous Survivor shows.

I have a gym member ship and lift weights 5 days a week. I enjoy distance running and 30 mile bike rides. Plus, have competed in several triathlons, which is usually a half mile swim, 26 mile bike, finished by a 6 mile run.
