Mario shows off some expert moves in this collection of gameplay clips for Super Mario Galaxy 2.

Super Mario Galaxy 2​ is an upcoming platforming video game in development for the Nintendo Wii. First announced at E3 2009, it is the sequel to Super Mario Galaxy. It was released in North America on May 23, 2010, and will be released in Japan on May 27, 2010, Europe on June 11, 2010, and Australia on July 1, 2010.

Gameplay will be similar to the first Super Mario Galaxy, with a focus on platforming based on and around 3D planets with varying sizes and landscapes. Power-ups such as the Bee Suit will be returning, along with the Launch Star for interplanetary navigation and the Airships operated by Bowser and his son, Bowser Jr.

Mario will be able to ride Yoshi, who can use his tongue to swing across gaps, as well as eat different fruits that give him different powers, such as the ability to inflate like a balloon, as well as speed boosts. While the player retains the ability to collect Star Bits with the blue Star Pointer from the first game, while riding Yoshi the Star Pointer is replaced by a red dot, which allows the player to also aim and control his tongue. This can be used for swinging off objects, pulling levers or, like previous games, swallowing enemies and spitting them out.

New items and gameplay mechanics have also been showcased. These include a drill that allows Mario to dig through dirt into new areas and switches that slow time momentarily, indicated by a change to monochrome vision. Players can collect comet medals hidden in the stages to unlock harder levels with tougher challenges.
