One bonus is Yoshi the dinosaur, who like in past games can eat enemies, jump higher, and has some powerups of his own

that'll help you earn lives as well as defeat harsher enemies

Freezing larger enemies, bowling balls, etc.

Pointing at enemies and pressing A to freeze or kill enemies.

So-Star mode is even better than the first, as player two can actually interact with more things and help defeat enemies and grab coins and power-ups

Finally, I must dissent with opinions mentioned here with regard to the "enhanced" 2nd player functionality; the second player could stall and dizzy enemies, and collect star bits in the original

The Space Storm Galaxy was great until all potential was lost the moment I had to guide one of those darn red spinning topmen around several open holes and do this while avoiding these VERY annoying, tiny ricocheting type enemies that insist on pushing Mario over the side and to his death

She can either kill smaller enemies or freeze bigger ones in place, like chain chomps or firebars.

As the little star friend (sorry I don't know the names), I was able to collect things and kill enemies for him

This is a very fun game and although you cannot play a traditional 2 player mode such as Mario and luigi you can have player 2 still play using the wii remote to grab things and defeat enemies

The first having just collecting and shooting star bits and freezing enemies

Player 2 can retrieve faraway coins, Star Bits and some other items, stop enemies dead in their tracks, and even initiate his or her own spin attack to defeat them

that'll help you earn lives as well as defeat harsher enemies

The enemies don't seem as threatening in this game, even though they're really more dangerous than Super Mario 64

A lot of fun, love how second player can actually help kill enemies

With the use of a second player you can take advantage of getting items no where near you, or defeating enemies

One way is by knocking enemies

she can also pick up coins and mushrooms, kill enemies, flip switches, and activate checkpoints

Now for the star of this game Mario himself he returns with most of his previous MG abilities with of course some new ones as well such as Rock Mario, yes rock his hat and overall turns to stone giving him the power to turn into a boulder and roll and jump around to destroy enemies.

Now, Player 2 (in addition to freezing enemies and grabbing stars) can actually spin as well to knock enemies to the ground or grab coins from remote places by flying over to them quickly and then bringing them back to Mario.

The two-player mode is more complete than in the first game, allowing the partner to attack enemies with a spin move

In this game, in addition, player 2 controls a Luma that can collect more items like coins and 1-Up mushrooms; Player 2 can attack or freeze certain enemies, and halt booby-traps.
