This is the seventh in a series of videos Nintendo has been quietly releasing on YouTube lately showing off Super Mario Galaxy 2. It features what appears to be a base of operations for Mario's latest adventure, Starship Mario.
Yup, it's a planet-sized mass in the shape of Mario's noggin. I know that, this many games in, such a thing shouldn't be any surprise to me. And it isn't, not really. I just find it really strange for a reason I can't quite place. Like, why does it have to have that shape? I really loved the hubworld thing they had in the first Galaxy and this just feels silly somehow.

nintendo has lost me as a customer. their game is getting old to me.
If so, then why not just cut that extra minute out of the video? Wouldn't take more than 10 minutes at most.
Years ago, I would have disagreed with you.
But pretty much every Mario game released by Nintendo after Sunshine is super easy, so you're right.
Even now, I'm looking at the view I'm going to be able to get of the solar system from the ship. That's just...magnificent. And I'm saying that without any irony whatsoever. That's how excited I am for this.
It's actually something of a mix. On the ship world you can fool around on it like a regular hub world, except instead of multiple locations to go to the worlds, you access the steering wheel and from there, you can move the ship through a traditional world map.
Also, I have to admit, the hub world from Galaxy took a bit too long to navigate. I'll embrace this Mario head mass hub world change because the rest of the game looks absolutely phenomenal! Can't wait!
