Man, I'd love a spray can of that new Mario game smell.
 
Edit: Faceship gag delivery was brilliant.

I don't know why it took me this long, but this is the first time I've realized that the script for the video reviews is a sort of transcription of the written review. Has it always been this way? If so, I'd very much like to see the video reviews further differentiate themselves from the written word. 
 
I still very much appreciate the effort it takes to produce these, but the redundancy makes consuming both of the forms of reviews ultimately pointless.

How about a suit for Mario that solves why he can go through space without a spacesuit/helmet? That or if the other suits are so awesome, why can't he keep them from world to world, some like the cloud suit would be helpful on so many more levels but it can't work for some stupid reason on other worlds? Don't have a Nintendo wii so wouldn't play it even if I had it, sorry just not a Nintendo fanboy.

This is an appropriate response for 96% of forum comments on the internet.  
The other 4% are not on video game websites.
 
Example:
Comment: "Ryan, second to none? Don't you mean second to the first Super Mario Galaxy?? Doyy..."
Response: "NO. BECAUSE ITS A FUCKING VIDEOGAME."

Slightly off topic, but;
I'd like to see a contest to see who can do the best Mario-style run, (ie. with their arms straight out like that and swinging really quickly)
 
Probably be the sort of thing you'd see on some obscure Japanese gameshow.

The faceship joke came from a character in the game!
 
YOU ARE JUST LIKE JAY LENO.
 
Anyway, glad to see video reviews returning.

Ha! You wish. You are lucky enough to get a second one. You may have to wait another two console generations.
