| guiduc said: I went on Excessif and discovered you can play with Luigi after gaining 20 stars. He appears in many galaxies. I also discovered that... there is going to be a mystery character that you'll be able to play after gaining 120 stars. 3 characters - Mario, Luigi and.... Wario? Princess Peach? It appears the game has more than 40 galaxies... so a little more than Super Mario Galaxy. 7 powerups, 3 characters, 240 stars... it must be a wet dream! |
The game 'only' has 120 unique stars... the Official Nintendo Magazine confirmed that. However, seeing how Miyamoto himself started the whole 240 stars-craze, I think it's safe to assume there'll be some sort of 2nd quest in which you'll be able to re-play the entire game, to get an additional 120 stars, perhaps even with a different character.
Whether that character will be Luigi or not remains to be seen, however the 'reward' for collecting all 120 stars might not even be an alternate character, that was just a miscommunication that spiraled out of control into wild rumours (check the link above). 
For all we know, the reward might be a mirror mode that lets you replay the whole game, but mirrored. In fact, that seems like a plausible option to me, as it would make the whole experience a lot 'fresher' than playing the game again, but with a slightly differently controlling Mario-clone. This tactic is also one Nintendo has been known to apply in the past, in most Mario Kart games, and Wii's Twilight Princess...
Oh, and thanks, Rainbow Yoshi, for clearing that bit up. Hadn't realized you were referring to the sidescrolling parts. They DO remind me a lot of DKJB
