3 New Super Mario Galaxy Gameplay Videos - Deeelicious

With the November 12th U.S. release date fast approaching, 3 more gameplay videos of the upcoming Super Mario Galaxy have been released on gametrailers.com.

The first video, included below, shows off footage of our favorite mustached, Italian plumber romping his way through a few small planets. Mario's mission, big surprise here, is to collect a few stars. Watch him do so in style.

While the above footage clearly displays the graphical and stylistic achievements of the Wii's first Mario title, it doesn't do much to enlighten us on some of the other gameplay mechanics and features. For instance, we never truly get a chance to see the multiplayer potential. Japanese TV spots have been sporting a glimpse at this side of the adventure for quite some time. One multiplayer mode is done cooperatively. One player moves Mario while the other aids him. One could assume that this would give the second player the opportunity to interfere with Mario's progress.

Dig a vid...

The girl is Player 1 and the guy is Player 2. He starts out by explaining the control scheme and then tells her to jump on the baddies. After she seems unable to defeat the goomba, he says he should save her. She agrees. At this point we see Player 2's cursory star over top of a crushed goomba. He is basically holding the goomba down while she gets to whomping. Player 1 controls Mario while Player 2 interacts (positively or negatively) with the environment about Player 1. Seems like this could either be amazingly fun, or incredibly obnoxious, depending on how you choose your company.

Look forward to Super Mario Galaxy's November 12th release date.
