kind of a nothing game, but the music bops and it works well as a game to play while listening to something else

i uninstalled it immediately after beating it though lol

on one hand, random encounters every ten steps and an utterly broken economy where you go from scrounging through piles of crap to get pennies to having an absurd dragons hoard of wealth

on the other, a very unique and rewarding combat system with great bosses and fantastic dungeons, with an utterly heartwrenching story to boot and an amazing ost

you owe it to yourself to play this, flawed though it may be

you'll have to forgive me for lying a bit by putting "mastered" here, i didn't do super luigi galaxy because i love this game but not enough to do the whole game again a second time in a row

anyways i love this game despite the hiccups, and i think most people already know it slaps. gameplay is great, atmosphere is great, music is great, rest in peace to whoever wrote the story since he clearly got shot to death by miyamoto after giving rosalina a backstory

so instead im gonna rank the bosses (based on prosafia gaming's video i guess)! enjoy:

21) mandibug stack: this is not a boss, get outta here

20) topmaniac #2: this one is identical to the first one but it happens in the literal penultimate galaxy so i hate it

19) baron brrr: of all the things to make a boss of, why these enemies?? idk

18) topmaniac #1: uhhhh

17) bugaboom: kinda lame and really easy

16) tarantox: i forgot this was a boss

15) undergrunt gunner #2: undergrunt gunner (this one is worse because it made me use spring mario)

14) undergrunt gunner #1 and #3: undergrunt gunner

13) kamella #2: doesn't feel rehashed like some of the other bosses but the new setting doesnt do much to make this boss any harder

12) major burrows: pretty easy but neat. i got scared by him trying to claw at you as a kid.

11) kamella #1: pretty fun for the part of the game you fight her in. im not sure why she wasnt the one that sent mario flying in the intro though

10) dino piranha: good first boss. easy but it's a nice introduction

9) king kaliente #1: slaps

8) king kaliente #2: a good evolution of the first fight but really weird as a grand star battle. still, its a good fight.

7) bowser jr.: why do you fight him second, i don get it

6) bowser #1 and #2: these fights feel the same, they're both good

5) megaleg: ok this one is easy but the spectacle and the music really save it

4) fiery dino piranha: actually not a rehash. it's cool to fight a souped up version of the first boss that's legitimately challenging

3) bowser #3: really good finale but i wish the final phase took three hits instead of two so i could hear the theme longer. its always sad when its over too fast

2) bouldergeist: this boss is so cool!!! the daredevil variant is honestly pretty tricky if you arent careful, and the normal variant is just hard enough for where its placed in the game

1) kingfin: absolute peak. love this terrifying bastard. this has the stage presence of megaleg with more difficulty to match. easily my favorite.

0) bubble blast galaxy

you'll have to forgive me for lying a bit by putting "mastered" here, there is no way to master this game. it just breaks you until you just wanna stop playing

anyways i have a hard time loving this game despite the positives, and i think most people already know it has problems. gameplay is great, atmosphere is, music is amazing, rest in peace to whoever wrote the first game's story since he clearly got shot to death by miyamoto after giving rosalina a backstory

so instead im gonna rank the bosses (based on prosafia gaming's video i guess)! enjoy:

17) mandibug stack: fucking why

16) bowser #3: okay so the first phase is fine but the true final battle is so insulting that i can't rank this highly at all. are you fucking kidding me? you're gonna make one of the greatest final boss tracks play during THIS fight? holy hell what a letdown

15) squizzard: this boss isnt technically as bad as some of the others but im legitimately offended they gave THIS boss the daredevil comet. it's pathetically easy and has really lame animations. what the fuck is a squizzard, dude

14) sorbetti: zzzzz

13) bugaboom: this is one of the more unusual choices for "bosses we really gotta bring back." it's basically the same fight idk

12) gobblegut: Ohhhhh, Gobblegut... Dinner's on! Don't forget to protect your bellyache bulges!

11) rollodillo: weirdly this boss is a lot harder to hit the first time and then after that its really really easy. weird, but i like using the rock mushroom

10) peewee piranha: basically the same as dino piranha despite the differences? i guess its fine

9) fire gobblegut: unlike fiery dino piranha this recolor mostly just makes the boss more confusing. it's fine, though, and is definitely more difficult

8) prince pikante: a cute reference to the first game. real easy, though, especially for taking place this late into the game

7) whomp king: this one's a cute reference to super mario 64. simple by design, it's perfectly functional as a boss, even if its real late into the game

6) giga lakitu: not difficult but aiming the shells can be a little tricky. i like the drum beat he does when doing the lightning attack

5) glamdozer: psyching this boss out is actually pretty fun. just a good, solid boss fight

4) digga leg: fun little callback to the first game. nowhere near as cool, but its lots of fun for an early game boss

3) bowser jr.'s boomsday machine: this is the megaleg of galaxy 2. the tank reveal is still awesome even after all these years

2) bowser #1 and #2: i actually like these a bit more than the bowser fights in 1. wasn't expecting that.

1) megahammer: the absolute PEAK of this game. amazing ost and boss design. i only wish the fight could've lasted longer. this shit's so cool

0) bubble blast galaxy (is not in this game)

very nostalgic, felt nice getting blatted with a rake over and over again

again

also the extra mode is really neat, the new surprises were very welcome

though ultimately it is just a "getting blatted with a rake" simulator with a very bitter ending (compliment), so i can't rate it much higher personally
