[@safebox36]

Fun Fact: this game was the first time new lines were recorded for Yoshi in 13 years. Kazumi Totaka (the composer of many Nintendo games and creator of Totaka's Song) recorded voice lines for the character in 1997 for Yoshi's Story, which were used for every appearance since then until the development of Super Mario Galaxy 2.

[@halcyon_exb]

That’s actually really interesting! Was it kazumi totaka again or someone else who made the voice lines in this game?

[@Trianull]

It's kinda funny that, despite this, most new games still tend to use the '97 clips.

[@archerelms]

​@@Trianullif it ain't broke don't fix it I guess?

[@traviscunningham7062]

Does Yoshi have new voice clips in Wonder?

[@Tobin-cy5kp]

Me:trying to get to sleep Linkus:You want sleep? What’s that? *uploads a 40min video*

[@itsBrunden]

that’s how it always is with Linkus and i’m all for it

[@JuggR]

Same

[@mirian368]

0:22

[@jaromschafer913]

Yes please go for special world and 100%. If you liked the throwback galaxy, there’s even more galaxies referencing previous games, including a galaxy that is now the planet from toy time galaxy that was 8-bit mario/luigi, a boss rush of a bunch of Mario galaxy bosses, and a recreation of one of the super Mario sunshine secret missions

[@kirbyx2573]

Oh wow Linkus playing my absolute favorite game? Man thank you Linkus. This game just stands close to my heart.

[@I_Eated_The_Soap]

Definitely Same. This was the First Mario game I ever played, first game I ever 100%ed (with the help of my parents because the perfect run was evil as a 6 or 7 year old) and I come back to it all the time because of how fun it is

[@jovancuturic5560]

​​@@I_Eated_The_SoapSAME.The perfect run was just cruel.I managed to beat it with my sister 1 year ago.Was so satisfying.Would NEVER do again. My fav game tho!

[@Droobie03]

My favorite Mario game of all time.

[@orderofmoo8436]

Yeah, I 100% this game too. It sucked because by the time I made it to the perfect run, somebody accidentally deleted my save, so I had to do everything all over again.

[@I_love_smo]

I 100% this 6 times (this and galaxy 1 was the only games we had)I 100% galaxy 1 2 times. Yes I only played games as a child yes a no life prop 900+ hours total bc my first 100% was like 100 hours

[@Moltzenn]

Nobody: Bowser: “Im HUUUUGEEEEE!..”

[@rockinggamerdude]

7:04 they’re called Starbit and it’s actually really useful to grab them from afar, and you missed one of the coolest planets with the power up. It’s hollow in the inside.

[@kings7988]

Linkus *speaking calm voice* 8:53 Linkus: WHAT?! IT CAN TURN!!!

[@himbo_noa]

"WHO GAVE IT A STEERING WHEEL"

[@phantommyst1933]

😭

[@tomjackal5708]

i would love to see you 100% this game i got given this game for a birthday as a kid without ever having played galaxy 1, so i was missing context but i still had a lot of fun playing through it and then trying to get all the things

[@bryanmulcare9083]

Mario Galaxy 2 is what I grew up and I have a blast playing the game as a kid. I finally 100 percent the game 3 years ago and I still love playing the game including the first Mario galaxy game.

[@Lorraine202]

I love how intuitive this game is. Like the number of times Linkus was encouraged to do something and it resulted in progress/bonus stars instead of outright told is a testament to the amazing game design. Like the Yoshi bullet bill or the blooming planet star.

[@ShratTheMighty]

Ah, yes. Mail Toad, the hidden GOAT of the Toad Brigade...they thought they were slick, making him the filler 2p slot in Captain Toad. Mf has gone back and forth to the center of the galaxy SOLO in TWO games. And even if he didn't, the fact he that has a smuggling network direct from Peach to Mario is maybe even more impressive.

[@tyquil825]

37:53 Someone said “you just killed his babies” Then they said “oh he killed his own babies”

[@Cruncherzrutty]

SHOUTOUT TO INEVERMINE BEING THE FIRST TWITCH COMMENTER IN THE VIDEO

[@megalogoro6388]

8:20 is 100% accurate to how that character would be voiced.

[@thecosplaycrafter8017]

30:19 reminds me of when my girlfriend played Portal for the first time. We were kind of splitting controls (her on WASD, me on the mouse). Right after she beat GLaDOS, she accidentally walked forward and into the incinerator during the closing cutscene.

[@Velinto]

Mario Galaxy 2 is a phenomenal game which really needs to be ported to the next console.

[@noia-43]

I remember this game. My cousins had given it to me with his old wii for Christmas, and he had already gotten to the end game. Sadly I didn’t know how to play, and I was also pretty bad at the game so I never managed to experience it. I cold have started a new file but the wii was my first console and I didn’t know how any of this worked, so my main memories about the game are just of me running around on the Mario-shaped island climbing trees. So glad I could basically experience this game for the first time lol

[@atsukana1704]

11:50 finally someone gets it. As a kid no joke I decided not to ask for this game after loving the first, solely based on the fact that it replaced comet observatory with a giant head. I knew the vibes I wanted for my hub back then.

[@MAZakir2]

I had to suppress my urge to scream “SO HAPPY” when he collected stars with Yoshi. If you know where I got the urge from, you are immediately my friend.

[@lovinglife8854]

Dude!! I'm so glad your playing this. I literally started playing this again just recently! But know that I'm doing the mind bender challenge. Basically beating Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 100% on every console it could be played on. Wii, Wii U, (and Switch only for 1.)

[@datmahn2215]

for every like this gets i will mail one copy of legend of zelda wind waker to linkus edit: guys chill im in high school T-T edit 2: I just took an interview for a job so I can start paying my debt

[@DesNuts170]

You have 7 days to collect likes, and then another 7 days to send them. Linkus, please pin this man, as we shall hold him to his word.

[@Tobin-cy5kp]

[@Eliza_Yump]

I absolutely loved this I hope you do the special world and everything!! The final galaxy is actually fantastic

[@Jakey726]

This was a fun chill stream I enjoyed this game very much as a kid and I'm glad Linkus got to experience it as well

[@thevoidpickaxe5865]

This game was my childhood. I had it on my Wii but I sold that so I never was able to play it since then. Thanks for this tho

[@lapislazucchini6153]

linkus editing the Glamdozer boss fight to make it seem like it didn't take him like 5 minutes cause he kept missing the ground pound timing is hilarious to me

[@BJMashPotato]

My favorite part of the Galaxy games by far is that they have so many creative and unique ideas, but you never stand still on them for too long. You get just the right amount of time with them where you feel like you've really used the full functionality of the mechanic, but not so long where it becomes a bother. If people were to ask me an example of good game designs, I would point here first, no question about it.

[@kristophesiem5336]

Idk man, spring mario existing on itself is already questionable

[@Dragon_David]

If you do the infinite flutter glitch on the end of the final level and bring yoshi to the fight with bowser, it makes the cutscenes wacky and funny.

[@tyquil825]

“WHO PUT A STEERING WHEEL ON IT” Me just laughing my butt off

[@dogegames2630]

Galaxy 2 is a whole bunch of fun I would love to see you 100% the game

[@thetophatguyandroid5959]

One of my first ever actual Mario games, I spent too much time on this game. As much as I loved the atmosphere in the first Mario Galaxy nothing beats the level design in galaxy 2

[@Jwick-xu8cz]

42:23 that “you’re welcome” was so sincere and wholesome 😭😂

[@dominiceriksson7867]

Please keep going this is great

[@ItzLoki432]

YO NEW LINKUS VID!!!

[@micahphilson]

5:02 Where was this glitch back when I used to play this game?! That was also before I watched speedrunners, like when this game came out, but still...

[@NUHUH-mr8xc]

I swear I'm so happy linkus is playing every game that I love

[@1Grainer1]

22:20 i hope linkus figured that spiting bomb in the same direction platform is moving put him into bomb hitbox and did self damage

[@pengikitten]

The remark at 12:45 makes me think of being born with a "kick me!" Note on your back

[@robinmiersch1451]

You should definitely check out the special world and collect the green stars. Most of them are just interestingly placed and you need to do specific jump techniques to get there.

[@DrewD64]

Loved this vid!

[@maribelperez8207]

I was just literally watching you and smallant doing a speed run in botw

[@gian8389]

Im glad this made it to the main channel so thank u si much for playing my favorite mario game of all times (Note: this stream is during the "Mar10 day)

[@NotFitts]

Love you Linkus! 😄

[@mineorb2817]

You caught my attention already with a link between worlds. But somehow now you're playing another game that was a childhood star for me.

[@epicleviplayz6830]

this game was such a blast

[@aelinalice9194]

Being born with a ground pound symbol on your back is like being born with a permanent “kick me” sign on your back

[@Superb_Cricket]

This game is great, I love how this game has so much more challenge compared to galaxy 1 and also the no transformation run. I am happy to see people didn't forget about this game lol

[@Syurii_]

Now I just need a video of you playing any mario and luigi Game

[@karroolsson8970]

mitt absoluta favorit mariospel genom tiderna, ååååh älskar!!!

[@creyosbear]

Please do 100%! The best part about this game is how challenging the post-game content is!!

[@curtisnovotnik8341]

Special world and 100% is a ride, and the final 2 levels are some of the most epic in terms of how they are named and played. Highly recommended to complete 100% and see what the end levels are. Maybe in the future you could try the super mario 602 speedrun, but that is not for the feint of heart...

[@himbo_noa]

okay this might sound weird, but I swear that the chime noise when you pick up a star is the exact same at the first note of the Ice Cavern music in OoT or am i crazy

[@anubion42]

i cant express how much ive tried to to the yoshi flying and how upset i was when it cut to him doing it perfectly. I can only chain 3 if im lucky lol

[@speedude0164]

This game was at the center of my childhood right alongside Galaxy 1 and I will be forever salty that it wasn't included in 3D All-Stars.

[@user-ti3yd4ri3u]

The luma voice was perfect

[@jelluh24]

Good job linkus 👏👏

[@BoringDude.mp3]

If you didn't do the slide in tall trunk galaxy you have to do it sometime, it's a really fun level.

[@jovancuturic5560]

Thank you for acknowledging my all time favorite game.Also you should definetly 100% it.

[@professionallid]

finally linkus is a true gamer

[@mike_havens]

You can use the Yoshi flutter glitch to get him to the final boss with Mario but it messes with the animations since he's not supposed to be up there😂 And if positioned correctly,he can be re-mounted after each hit and be taken to the credits as well

[@Adam-qi2tz]

Love this game

[@BoxuTrev]

Linkus getting tilted at the aim assisted bowling balls was the funniest thing i’ve seen so far today

[@BoxuTrev]

Also, to comment on the “NES era hated gamers” rant, the absurd difficulty of games back then was to artificially increase the play time with the limited storage space back then, games needed to be hard enough for the average child to struggle and take longer to beat it, but easy enough that it didn’t become annoying

[@lucareinartz1435]

1:48 That transition tho

[@Kiingg1002]

mario galaxy 2 is so fire i love this game, it’s my favourite 3d mario

[@rocketbat02]

It'd be awesome if you could check out the rest of the content in this game! As someone who's nearly 100% SMG2 myself I can say that it's certainly a blast (not to mention a challenge)

[@Elizzabeth2]

I want Linkus to suffer through the perfect run *evil laugh commences* XD

[@MysterAye]

8:24 Luma: Proceeds to explode

[@Jwick-xu8cz]

This game is basically DLC before DLC was invented

[@BoltTheEmolga]

Galaxy 2 is weird in that if you didn’t play postgame and get every last star, you absolutely did not get the full experience. Would for sure recommend going for 100%.

[@theofmino6180]

Man, if only he had figured out you could shake the wii remote to go faster underwater

[@gods_devourer8614]

You better do everything. I want to see you try the perfect run.

[@laggianput]

Hoping you do a part 2 for world s, green stars, and cleanup

[@dashadowhigh]

i played this game years ago and its sooooooo good

[@josh-cq5il]

AHHHH YES FINALLY I’M SO HAPPY BRU

[@Zel-Veraan]

I would love to see you 100% this game. Also, now that you've finished world 6, you can play as Luigi whenever you like!

[@ultimate8046]

I love how linkus was about to say time and then bowser just emerges and says no

[@austingreen258]

18:59 Linkus, you should mod your ps vita. The homebrew scene seriously come in clutch with SO MANY MORE GAMES! Think standard ports like sonic mania, to games ported FROM ANDROID to Vita. You will find no shortage of games from homebrew alone.

[@extremeboi9207]

MY FAVOURITE GAME EVER YIPPEE!!!!!!!!!!! THIS VIDEO IS MORE GALAXY 2 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT THAN WHAT NINTENDO'S DONE IN 14 YEARS

[@tromedlovdrolmai]

I am shocked that you didn't do the speedrunner challenge of dying in the credits for this video

[@catlamp_pianist]

I'm actually obsessed with how you accidentally discovered the hidden star in Supermassive Galaxy. Younger me got stuck and had to go on KZbin to figure out where it was, but younger me also wasn't very smart, so do with that as you will! Also, even though the game post-120 stars has quite a bit of tediousness, I would love to see you go up against the true final level 👀

[@itskayinnit5251]

Props to the editor for condensing a 7hr stream into a 40 min video

[@briesjones7767]

Not playing on release is so mad this game is tops

[@awsmrs]

See, he did play it a *tiny* bit way back in the day, but it came out around the same time as Black Ops, so he kinda played that over Galaxy 2, and just never got around to Galaxy 2 till this month

[@briesjones7767]

@@awsmrs Fair enough, I never really got into black ops as Galaxy 2 was my childhood and I love it whole heartedly but i'd understand dropping it for something with that big of a magnitude

[@MrEditor6000]

@Linkus7 You know the 8-bit Mario Sections in Odyssey? If Nintendo were to release a DLC for Odyseey, it should be a Tower of 1000 8-Bit trials. And it would have randomized 8-Bit sections from a pool of say 5000 mini areas. Now That would be awesome.

[@CoolDub]

Linkus please play either Kirby:planet robobot or rhythm thief and the emperors treasure, they are phenomenal games and my personal favourites on the 3Ds.

[@lauciansylvaranth2285]

This was my favorite childhood game, and I am so sad it didn't get a port to the switch since I don't have my old Wii anymore. Please Please Please 100% it!

[@omegaxcution6092]

18:40 Bro, this was me, me and my friends would be playing Metroid Prime: Hunters or Mario Party DS! (And of course, download play doesn't let them play as any character other than Samus so I would either stalk them as Trace or obliterate them using Sylux tripwires like a rat).

[@epicredhot5675]

I wish this had been split into at least two videos; it feels like each level only gets five seconds on average
