In order to unlock Luigi, players will need tocollect all 120 stars inSuper Mario Galaxy. This essentially mean that players will have to complete the normal version of the game 100 percent before being able to take on space as the fearful ghost hunter.
Playing as Luigiisn’t just a cosmetic difference, as he controls differently from Mario. Compared to his older brother, Luigi jumps higher and runs faster. However, Luigi also stops slower, which may lead to him falling off ledges more easily.
What makes this worth getting is that playersaren’t just given Luigiin a completed game where they can’t do much else. After unlocking Luigi, a new version ofSuper Mario Galaxywill also be unlocked that is known asSuper Luigi Galaxy. In a way, this means that completing the game as Mario will cause players to only be halfway toward total completion.
Luigi’s differences aren’t just in how high he jumps and his struggle with stopping quickly. He additionallyloses air at a slightly faster ratethan Mario when underwater, and has a shorter horizontal leap. These differences will add a new level challenge for players in their second time through the game.
Just like the main version ofSuper Mario Galaxy, there are 120 stars for players to collect inSuper Luigi Galaxy. Aftergetting all of these stars as Luigi, a final purple coin mission will be available around Peach’s Castle. By combining the total amount of stars from both Mario and Luigi, there are 242 stars for players to collect in the game. Certain missions will additionally change to fit Luigi more inSuper Luigi Galaxy, such as the title of the mission “Mario Meets Mario” being changed to “Luigi Meets Mario”.
Super Mario Galaxyis now available as part ofSuper Mario 3D All-Stars, exclusively for the Nintendo Switch.
