Classic items return in Super Mario Galaxy (Joystiq)

[R.O.B.]

Filed under: Nintendo Wii, Adventure

Joining the already colorful collection of new equipment found in Super Mario Galaxy come the ol' stand-by's the Fire Flower and the Super Star. Now, our Urban Champion league friends over at Wii Fanboy considered this news to be the most spoiling of spoilers, but really, it's about as shocking as finding out that in Galaxy, you collect coins. Hachi machi! Do you think if you collect a certain amount of them, you'll get an extra life?

The Fire Flower went missing during the 3-D installments of the series, but was brought back into the fold with last year's New Super Mario Bros. The same can also be said about the super star power-up, though Metal Mario filled the void at times in Super Mario 64.

For some real spoilers concerning the plot, check out the story itself. Now those we'll protect you from.

I have to agree. I'm glad they are adding the original items back in. That has to be one of the things which slightly irritated me about the 3D Mario games - the unnecessary item changes.
