hey so whats the deal with depositing star bits it says on gamefaqs you get different toads etc
do they do anything or is it just for completion's sake?

First of all I would like to say that SMG2 is a great game and was extremely fun. I have always been a bit of a Mario fanboy and love the series because it makes me feel like a kid again.
That being said I am disappointed with the overall difficulty level of most (if not all) of the Mario games out. All of the Mario games that have come out in the past 10 years have been geared towards the casual crowd and its getting a bit annoying.
I would say that 90% of the stars in SMG2 were extremely easy to obtain. The other 10% may have been a bit of a pain here and there but nothing that was significantly hard. All of the "puzzles" were very straight forward and there wasn't really anything too taxing on the mind. All in all I loved the game but I wish Casper was in charge of the development instead of Miyamoto.

I used to agree with you, Smogen, but have you gone back and replayed the other Mario games recently? When I was young SMB, SMB3 and World all seemed hard, but they're a joke now and I can breeze through them like nothing. The only thing I still think is hard is SMB2J/lost levels because that game's just cruel. Even stuff in SM64 that seemed tough is pretty easy now, and I find I struggle most with awkward camera angles than any of the actual platforming mechanics.
As far as Casper being in charge of development, I find the custom of NSMBWii to be more intimidating than challenging. Especially since there are so many freaking enemies in 1-1 that it's practically impossible to come out with less than 99 lives.
Galaxy 2 is still pretty tough, it just hands out 1-ups like candy so you don't get too many game overs and give up. Personally, there were some levels that I died dozens of times before getting it right, even though some other levels I pwned on my first try.
The gist of what I'm saying is that I don't think that Mario games have gotten easier (with the exception of the NSMB games); I think that people like you and I have just gotten better with our platforming skills after beating the previous games so that all of the newer games seem easy. Watching my wife and son play Galaxy 2 makes me realize just how not easy that game really is. I'm just an outlier from playing the previous games way too much :-D
