Have you ever played a Mario game and thought, "This is just too complicated!" Me neither. But still, if you need a little extra help with Mario, Super Mario Galaxy 2 has you covered. The release of the box art for the European version of the game reveals that it comes with an instructional DVD to help noobs, newbs and n00bs play the game, as well as get a little insight into how his new suits work.
At first glance, this seems a little silly, but if the DVD is used to explain some of the more esoteric bits of Super Mario Galaxy 2's plot (Hopefully, chapters will include: "What are Starbits and why should I care? and "Luigi: Friend or Foe?") It would make sense. One of the few complaints I have about Super Mario Galaxy was the seemingly endless amount of instructional pop-up videos that you run across in the beginning chapters of the game.
Also: You can't play DVDs with your Wii, which makes this ironic.

They should have it not be a DVD, but a downloadable channel that directs you to the different videos which are online. Simple and anyone who is interested in the game can get a wiff of what they are looking to play instead of just the people who buy the game. That is what I would have done.

As a gamer I am insulted by this.
Seriously. Mario no longer heralds as a gaming icon in my mind. He is now at the forfront of the casual revolution.

Im actually liking this. I'm probably never going to use the dvd but maybe this will mean i won't have to sit through the extremely boring and pointless tutorials in the game. I can't stand those things, especially in games that i already know how to play.

It's funny how Nintendo claims they aren't only focusing on pleasing the casual audience, yet they do something like this with a game that would appeal to the hardcore crowd in hopes of the casual audience to buy a game like this that's actually worth there money that they won't understand either way.

I think that's very interesting they are making a DVD with instructions.

Can't play DvDs on the Wii? That's what HomeBrew is for. =)

I love how they include an instructional DVD, and the Wii can't play DVDs.
That really sucks for people without DVD players, etc.
Lawlz.

Is kinda funny, but when u think about about it everyone must have crap load of DVD players around the house, like computer/console/players

Eh, why not? If it helps those new to video games or who aren't very good, I say it's worth it.

Mario in Hotel Mario (1994):
"If you need instructions on how to get through the hotels, check out the enclosed instruction book!"
Mario in Super Mario Galaxy 2 (2010):
"If you need instructions on how to get through the galaxies, check out the enclosed instruction DVD!"

the fact that the WII is the only System this gen that can't play DVD's is a epic fail kinda like how the fact that the Xbox 360 is the only system this gen to not feature a web browser is also a epic fail

My only DVD player is my PS3. So a Wii game includes a DVD that I have to watch on my PS3? Good one Nintendo lol

doesn't this alienate the broke guys who don't have a dvd player?
couldn't this mean that instead of watching the videos before the level in game that they're gonna refer you to the dvd & you'll have to go do that before playing further unless you don't care?

Need to fix that headline on the home page. A "hot-to DVD" doesn't sound quite right when we're talking about a Mario game...
