About this game

Nintendo's 2010 Wii sequel, which drops the first Galaxy's observatory for a world map and a hub shaped like Mario's head. Forty nine galaxies across seven regions, and Yoshi is in a good number of them. His tongue grabs things and swings him over gaps, and three fruits give him a sprint that runs up walls and across water, a short flight, and sight of paths that are otherwise invisible. Mario gets a drill for boring through a planet, a rock form that rolls, and a cloud form that lays three platforms in midair. It is harder than the first one, and the hundred and twenty Green Stars that open after the hundred and twenty Power Stars are harder still. Each galaxy takes one idea, uses it and lets it go, so an evening with it is a run of short problems rather than one long one.
