Cloud Mario Unveiled

Official Nintendo Magazine released this image today of Cloud Mario.  Nintendo has been keeping most of the details behind Cloud Mario a secret but clearly you will be able to walk through the sky on platforms made of clouds in Super Mario Galaxy 2.

Other costumes we know are included in Super Mario Galaxy 2 include Bee Mario (as seen in the original) where Mario can fly for a limited time, stick/climb to honeycomb walls but cannot go into water or he reverts back to regular Mario and Drill Mario where Mario can drill through planets.  Super Mario Galaxy 2 is set to release in early Summer 2010.

Nintendo has released a new trailer for the upcoming Super Mario Galaxy 2 at the San Francisco Media Summit, the sequel is set to release on May 23 2010.
