Super Mario Galaxy - Credits & Epilogue

[Dizzy2810]

How long is this game?

[lucascouto166]

@Dizzy2810 Well, I finished it in 11 days, so, he's not soooo difficult...

[thebugandthebad098]

galaxy, and galaxy 2 have to be the one of the greatest game of the decade... no, the century!!!

[superluigi64321]

"Credits? How boring!"

But the credit themes in most Mario games are well composed, and nice to listen to, like this one, who agree's? Every time I listen to it, I get flashbacks from all of the Mario games, NES to Wii, how good they were, and from playing this game, but thats just me.

[zzyzx0788]

They should make a really dark and serious Mario game some day, just for the hell of it. It'd be interesting wouldn't it? No?...Eh whatever..

Anyway, can't wait to play Part 2

[ReighnDrac]

Sounds like a good idea, but at the same idea, I can't really imagine a serious Mario game.

[ESHIGGINS123]

I wonder what the credits will be like in SMG2

[WhiteKhakis]

I think they'll probably have names and titles rolling up the screen accompanied by an upbeat tune that eventually quiets down into a serene melody.

[ESHIGGINS123]

No, I mean like, I wonder what the music will be like. I hope it will be a true masterpiece like this

[WhiteKhakis]

Yeah, I got you. Chances are they'll stick with the symphonic motif they've got going in this first one.

[pokem0nfan134]

One question, why did they leave one luma behind?

[WhiteKhakis]

Maybe it lives there? (Was that the one that follows you around and grants you the spin attack?)

[pokem0nfan134]

Yes it was the luma

[LamanKnight]

@pokem0nfan134 I think it's because after you get all 120 Stars, you can do a second playthrough as Luigi, and he needs a Luma to teach him the spin attack.

[pokem0nfan134]

WHY DID IT HAVE TO END!!??!!???

[drango777]

I really love this music!!

[kirbyKosK9]

mario is taking a rest and luigi is doing all the work at part 2:19

[MusicMan794]

Beautiful <3

[MrBobbl]

5:52 ^^

[Marioshi64]

Mario Galaxy 2 THEME anyone?

[mrsnubeh]

its like the credits at the end of a movie

awesome

[ankevroon]

BORING!? SIR, THIS IS THE #2 BEST ENDING IN VIDEO GAME HISTORY!!!!!!!!!!! #1 is brawl of course

And the music is awesome, but you sir, dont have the feeling for true music.

[WhiteKhakis]

Heh, I was being facetious.

I always watch credits and try to catch as many names as I can. They also tend to play some of the best music during end-credits. It really surprises me that so many people seem to scramble for the exit the moment a movie ends. What's the rush? Maybe we can give them the benefit of the doubt and say they REALLY needed to use the restroom.

[ankevroon]

Oh, Im really sorry then:P

[WhiteKhakis]

No biggie. Sarcasm doesn't translate very well across the internet at all - no foul on your part, here!

[dekusnake]

They left a Luma behind?

[kirbyKosK9]

i bet that has to do something with super mario galaxy 2

[dekusnake]

Well, all the Lumas didn't really die, but I do bet Mario has the same Luma.

[icypikachu]

The Gusty Garden reprise made me cry ;o

i love the epicness of this game.

[jake19962]

how old is mario now?

[WhiteKhakis]

The dude's approaching 30 in a couple years.

[mouthpeacer]

more like 60, hes been a stylish superstar since donkey kong

[WhiteKhakis]

Which came out in '81...

[Obioma1]

Thank you so much for playing my game!

[poopieskoopens]

for the description, OR you can listen to the awesome music. seriously, thats the only reason i watched this video.

[Gamehuntsuprise50pc]

This is the Super Mario Galaxy credits of 100% game completion with Mario!

And its ultimate credits!

[ansonii48]

Wow...never thought I could enjoy the credits so much...

You mentioned something about a new compression/uploading technique or somethin' in your description...besides a few choppy parts for a few milliseconds here and there, a strange green line at the bottom for a second in the middle, and an occasional random line, I would say this video has nice quality, even in full screen. Mind givin' us a hint?

[WhiteKhakis]

Those comments are somewhat outdated now, but I'll tell you what was up, and what you can do now.

The green line/choppy parts were because my hard drive was fragmented, and the capture device would "skip" sometimes. I've been a little more careful with defragmenting since.

The new compression/uploading technique was some workaround YouTube's reencoding of video uploaded that does not work anymore. Basically, if certain rules were met, you can upload a ".flv" with a pretty nice bitrate.

[WhiteKhakis]

Not applicable anymore, as I've said.

Now, what you can do is try to upload as high a quality video as possible without "excess baggage". YouTube's high quality videos are roughly 1000 kb/s bitrate on average and around 480x360 in resolution.

So, what I do is upload a video with a resolution of 640x480 and an average bitrate of 1000 or so kb/s.

That usually yields nice results (my newer videos).

Also, these credits were mostly on black, that utilises very little bitrate.

[WhiteKhakis]

Consequently, it'll look nicer since it needs less bitrate to look pretty. That's why a lot of anime looks nice at lower bitrates (due to a lot of low framerate/motion, and videoblogs (due to lack of scenery change).

High motion and fast color change is hardest to make look nice, but the best you can do is push it to the limit that YouTube will accept.

Good luck with your videos!

[blehmanzach1]

w00t...he's still alive

[Raichu111092]

I did start out reading the credits, but found myself eventually getting lost in the pictures and pretty music...still, a wonderful game, and a fantastic job by everyone involved.

[WhiteKhakis]

These credits were okay, but what was really neat were the "Super Mario 64" credits. They would have fly-by camera views of the different levels, and they hid Mario somewhere in each one!

(You can control the direction of the camera with the second controller)

[Euphonious91]

This is yet again another opportunity to say just how awesome this game's music is. I mean seriously, as far as a Mario game goes, this is really high up there.

I always read credits, even movie ones. I like the end of the game ones when they start talking about North American Localization, because then I start recognizing some of the names.

[WhiteKhakis]

The part of credits I always read are the Cast/Voice Actors. You'd think it would be so I could recognize the people behind them, but half the reason is so I can see for certain what some of the characters are named, and how they are spelled.

[BackfallGenius]

All are Japanese names anyway, I wouldn't be able to appreciate them if I can't even read or say some of those names! And Mario's voice is the most annoying thing evah!

[WhiteKhakis]

I know what you mean... When I watch anime, I have trouble remembering peoples' names because they are so unfamiliar. I tend to give them nicknames, like: Glasses, Bow-guy, Spike-head, Sad eyes, and so on.

[thecarious]

Here's a suggestion: Do Luigi's purple coin missions next.

[WhiteKhakis]

Are they really all that different?

[DigitalFlareon]

I believe in posting credits.

Because without the amazing people listed in them, we wouldn't have such fantastic gaming experiences. :3

[WhiteKhakis]

I mostly posted this to see how clear the words come through with the new compression scheme I'm trying.

Are you the kind of person that stays and watches the credits in a movie theater? That's fairly rare these days...

[R2Rshadow]

i dont stay and watch the movie credits the only credits i watch are game ones especially the good games. Anyways thatnks for posting this khakis. :)

[WhiteKhakis]

Like I said, it's a rare person that does. A lot of people will watch the credits in games though, to make sure it saves or unlocks some kind of extra.

[R2Rshadow]

yea good point anyways keep making those awesome videos of galaxy and pokemon! :)

[DigitalFlareon]

Well, sometimes there's a fun little extra at the end of movies, and sometimes the credits are colorful and I get lost in them.

[WhiteKhakis]

Don't forget the music!
