A veritable cascade of new Super Mario Galaxy footage sloshed into the GamerSquad inbox today, ahead of the game’s Japanese debut on November 1st. Included in this treasure trove of new videos is the intro to the Japanese version (see above), which both looks intensely cinematic for a Mario title, and also displays Bowser’s new method of kidnapping the ever-useless Peach - don’t just take her; take her and her entire, gigantic palace. Yoink.

Scroll down for another TEN videos of Mazza jumping, running, riding giant stingrays, and generally screeching like a loon.

(As usual, all footage is provided by good ol' GameTrailers.com.)
