super luigi galaxy

spoiler alert: the biggest shock you get from beating super mario galaxy is that you’ve only played through half the game. once you beat it as mario, you get to play as luigi, who keeps all his skills and downsides from mario games past, like jumping higher but taking longer to stop after running. whenever i played mario bros. 2 (except on world 4) i was always luigi because i could control him the best. playing him in galaxy is just as fun and just as tough. but the only way to see the real ending is to collect all 120 stars with luigi, beat bowser, collect another secret star, then go back as mario and collect the same star (it doesn’t appear otherwise). i have yet to do it, but i can’t wait to play it again.
