Video Game Review: Super Mario Galaxy 2

 I recently beat this Super Mario game. I have beaten the first Super Mario Galaxy game too. I gotta admit this might have been a better game. The two games are similar but the way you go stage to stage is very much more linear here. You basically travel with a chubby Luma named Lubba as you travel on a Mario head shaped spaceship.  The plot is kinda of a retelling of the first game. You are trying to rescue Princess Peach from Bowser. There are a lot of returning elements from Galaxy one like Launch stars which can take you to a completely new planetoid in many cases. There are a lot of returning enemies from Galaxy one as well like Goombas, those little things that spit rocks at you, boo ghosts, bullet bills, Chomps, and hammer bros. Some of the boss fights were really creative. There was a big creature that was only vulnerable from underneath so it constantly forced you to go to one of the openings of the arena and ground pound it from below. The Bowser fights were consider...

Super Mario Galaxy movie

 I gotta admit i was worried cause some movie reviews said this movie wasn’t all that. I really liked it ! The voice cast from the first movie is back: Chris Pratt as Mario, Charlie Day as Luigi, Anya Taylor-Joy as Princess Peach, Jack Black as Bowser, and Keegan-Micahel Key as Toad. They are joined by newcomers Donald Glover as Yoshi (cause why not lol), Benny Safdie as Bowser Jr., Glen Powell as Fox McCloud, and Brie Larson as Princess Rosalina. The movie's plot is rather straight forward. Mario and company must rescue Rosalina from the clutches of Bowser Jr. I really thought Bowser Jr. was a cool villain. He commands alot of attention in his action scenes. Mario and Lugi are together throughout the movie this time. There's a scene in the movie where Peach and Toad just kick major butt. I really love that they put Fox McCloud in the movie too. His inclusion makes sense and his character was great. Yoshi was a likeable character too.  Bowser is kind of a good guy for at least...

Video game blog: Super Mario Odyssey

I’ve been playing my Nintendo switch for some time now. I’ll review the system soon. This post is about Super Mario Odyssey and we’ll how amazing it is. The game seems simple on the surface but it’s actually very complex. What makes it very complex is the Magical hat Mario wears. Mario’s Cap (I forget the name) has a mind of its own. You use it to take control of enemies and also to interact with your environment. It’s a really deep system. I found myself taking control of a tank to take on a vicious boss in New Donk City. NDC is a dope city also....it’s basically showing you there are humans in Mario’s world, and well; he’s not human lol. The game seems to have a perfect difficulty as well. As you know I love Zelda botw also but that game is hard af. Mario Odyssey bosses go down in 3 hits....with them getting very aggressive after 2. There was a couple times where I wasn’t sure how to beat a boss....you generally just have to use that magic hat. I haven’t beaten the game yet...

Video Game Review: New Super Mario Bros. Wii U

Okay i recently beat this game for the Wii U. It is everything a Mario should be. It has really nice graphics, and is a breath of fresh air with new suits and Yoshi....and not to mention Baby Yoshi. The story is the same as always: Peach is kidnapped by Bowswer......and his fam. Out of all of Bowser's kids u face off against baby bowser the most. The game has air tight controls and has multiplayer playthrough...but i can imagine having 3-4 players at once can be tough. The game gets really difficult later on, but with perseverance(and power ups sometimes) you can beat it. The games final showdown features a run to bowser with Baby Bowser on your heals....then u fight Bowswer the old school way. AFter that things get crazy. Overall I'd give this game a 9.0/10. Its not perfect but its one of the better games i've played period.
