Played some more Mario last night -
Getting used to the movement a bit more, although I keep hitting the button that I use in Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword to center the camera on whatever the character is facing. Which doesn't work in this game as much as I'd like it to.
I like the variety of small bosses on star levels, although the difficulty in beating some of them is lower than what I expected. I think dividing each galaxy into three different star-finding adventures is a good idea. You get to explore the area just enough to feel that you've seen it all without feeling like you need to play more in it before you move on to the next one. After the first star though, figuring out where to go for the next one isn't as easy. There were a few points where I thought about looking up the general direction of where to go, but I found it not long after and don't want to cheat through this game.
Maybe some more playing soon or I'll switch over to Minecraft.
