Day 407 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing

Today’s game is some more Super Mario Galaxy. I wanted to take a break from The Last of Us Part 2 , partly because I’m sick once again and I didn’t want to go through it so fast, so I went ahead and continue with this. I did my favorite level in this game, which is the Manta ray surfing one above. I have fond memories of surfing in this level as a child, never could get the hang of turning the Wiimote though. And god, I know I praise this game’s water, but it looks so good here. I want to swim in it.

I also went and did the flip switch level. Before I left the level I decided to look around and just see the skybox because I’ve never done that before. It was neat getting a perspective I don’t usually.

And of course, I went and battled this pain in the ass. I always struggle to time the ground pounds with him but managed to finally get it in pretty good time for me. The more tolerable controls made it easier.

I ended off tonight in the candy Galaxy and got the star there. I always struggled with this one’s moving parts but with the controller controls it was far more tolerable now.
