In fact, I have beaten the original game a total of 10 times with my daughter as my trusty side-kick at the player 2 spot, grabbing stars, freezing bad guys, or shooting the occasional bad guy or gold dot to get me a much needed coin

I grew up playing games on the NES, so losing 15+ guys is nothing major to me

It really helps me to know which of my reviews you guys and gals like and dislike!

The best elements of SMG1 are also back, including the hilarious rolling-ball levels and the bee suit.-While a lot of players seem to love the guy, I don't much care for Yoshi.

and I can help get prizes and hold back the bad guys

Like they have all the old characters from mario 1 on the game like goomba's an thwomps from mario 3, and pokey sprouts from mario sunshine and bob-omb(only bad guy on mario galaxy 2 thats from doki doki panic/mario 2), an even pink bob-omb from mario 64 as well with whomps, etc

There are levels that you will lose 15+ guys on, but I don't consider that to be out of the norm

We have Mario Galaxy 1, and in 2 the second player can do a lot more--collect coins and mushrooms, destroy bad guys without throwing stars, hold back guys still.
