Gameplay
Although the game isn't a redone version of Super Mario Galaxy 2 a lot of the gameplay from the second game is used. The Comet Observatory does not appear and the Starship Mario returns from Super Mario Galaxy 2 (although slightly redesigned) as well as a map of the universes (previously called worlds). Power-ups like the Spin Drill and Yoshi also return in the game, as well as a bunch of new ones, such as the Robo Flower, Shark Mushroom, and Sand Mushroom. Like the last two games, Mario must travel though galaxies and collect Power Stars. The game includes a unique new mode, where both Mario and Luigi can play at the same time and help each other retrieve Power Stars. Up to four players can play, since both Mario and Luigi have Co-Star Lumas, which can retrieve items for them. Once the player finishes the game with all 170 Stars, Blue Toad and Yellow Toad are unlocked. The Nintendo VR version is still the same game, just with virtual reality controls, including moving arms to walk, spin, and jump. The Wii version is just like the first two games.
