Being able to play as Luigi in Super Mario Galaxy 2 is refreshing. It changes up the game's controls, and offers an extra challenge. Such is especially so because Luigi has slippery controls, so skidding off of edges is regularly risked.
Unfortunately, though, Luigi's appearance during the game suggests that Super Mario Galaxy 2 lacks the first game's Luigi mode. True, this mode's just a matter of playing through all of the same levels again. But it still works as an extension of the game's content. Super Mario Galaxy 2 looks like it's going to lack that extension.
Instead, being half-way through World 4 and having only 37 stars (out of a probable 120) suggests that this game's extra content is merely hidden.
After all, only a handful of the previous levels are "complete." Having so much hidden content is fine, but there's so much of it in the game that it can hardly be called "hidden."
