New Super Mario Galaxy 2 details – Over 40 galaxies, more
Update: ONM’s has clarified the situation regarding a second character (thanks Robert!). The review actually states:
“Luigi nonchalantly turns up about 20 stars in and offers his services at random points throughout the game, which is a good thing because it means you don’t have to get all 120 stars to play as him this time. What’s the reward for doing so this time around? Come on, we’re not telling you that!”
So the actual person who typed up details from the review misinterpreted what was written. On the bright side, it does seem like it’ll be worth getting all 120 stars anyway!
