Super Mario vs Mario Galaxy 2

[CanadianPaco]

I'll start of by saying I may not be describing this right but please bear with me...

We love the Super Mario Wii. We can play at the same time, on the same screen. Awesome! We have the first Mario Galaxy - but it's only for 2 people and really only Mario plays.

My question is.... Mario Galaxy 2...is it like the original or is it like Super Mario where people can play together?
Thx

DH just rented this game yesterday and asked me to try out the Player 2 features. Mario Galaxy 2 only allows 2 people to play. You play as Mario and a star. The star (player 2) follows Mario everywhere (no controlls needed on your part) and collects Star Bits, coins, extra lives, and extra health. Player 2 can also stun and kill enemies.

I thought Mario Galaxy 2 gave Player 2 more to do than in the first game which was nice. We enjoyed it but I don't like having to do a lot of work during videogames
