Everybody liked Super Mario Galaxy, so in 2010, Nintendo released Super Mario Galaxy 2. Originally conceived as "Super Mario Galaxy More", or basically a way to implement everything that was cut from the original due to time constraints, it ended up growing into a fleshed-out sequel. And most importantly, it has a pretty broken Yoshi.

Planning for this run was made a lot easier by the many individual Star speed runners who have played this game. Special thanks to packattack for his 100+ individual Star runs (all of them amazing)! A lot of the strategies I use are based on these IL runs, and I owe these runners a lot. Thanks also to members of the SDA forum for discovering most of this game's shortcuts and tricks.
