My first 'Ugh' moment with Mario

[maul42]

Really enjoying Mario Galaxies at the moment (of course) but I did hit a less than enjoyable area last night.

Its that friggin' Ray Surfing! Levels I can do, stomping koopa ass is no problem, but balancing precariously on a manta ray moving at high speeds? I guess its beyond me.

5th galaxy I hadn't died once in the entire game, but I just lost my entire stockpile of lives trying to surf on this damn thing's back. Its those cute little penguin bastards! They led me into a trap! Damn them!

THE PENGUINS WORK FOR KOOPA!!

you just need to be EXTRA careful on that board. don't do anything rash, cause the control's really touchy.

I've beaten the game already, no thanks to stupid SPRING MARIO. That is the most frustrating control in the game.

Yeah, Spring Mario is probably the worst part of the game. Bee Mario? Awesome. Spring Mario? Leave it out next time.

[Typheus]

Yeah, that Spring Mario thing sucked.

But yeah, the sting ray race was annoying, but not too hard. Took me two tries, but I beat its ass going at full speed

It went the way most game challenges go. You have a hard time, you bitch about it to other people, you go home and beat it in two tries. Its like griping about the game enough to the game gods gives you extra skills.

Now if only I could have gotten that to work for NES Silver Surfer...

Yeah, Spring Mario is probably the worst part of the game. Bee Mario? Awesome. Spring Mario? Leave it out next time.

dont get me wrong, i don't mind new game mechanics. But the Spring Mario gives you questionable control at best. THen, to factor in they introduce it in the "Black hole" boards, and i almost ignored that warning they give about the wiimote before every game.
