Super Mario Galaxy 2

Super Mario Galaxy 2 is a platforming video game developed by Nintendo for the Wii. It was first announced at E3 2009, and is the sequel to Super Mario Galaxy. It was released in North America on May 23, 2010. The game's levels are galaxies filled with minor planets and worlds. While its gameplay is based on that of its predecessor, the game was updated with gravity effects and new power-ups. It is the fourth original 3D platformer in the Mario series, after Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario Galaxy.

Freeze After Grand Star Levels
Upon finishing a grand star level, the screen may go black, preventing you from saving or continuing. There are three known solutions to this problem. Note that using savestates during one of these levels may cause the problem despite these fixes.
 * Use DSP-LLE (also solves other sound problems, recommended)
 * Use DSP-HLE with the Xaudio2 backend
 * Disable sound entirely by setting the audio backend to "no audio output" temporarily. (This last option does not always work.)

Framebuffer Errors
Framebuffer errors are occurring with the OpenGL plug-in on:
 * nVidia cards
 * ATI cards with anti-aliasing options enabled

Use the DX9 or DX11 plug-in to avoid such.

Music Cuts Out
Background music cuts out after a few minutes of play, as a consequence, it appears that the end credits of the game do not play, making it impossible to create a cleared gamesave. Use the DSP LLE plug-in to correct this.

Frame Limiting
One should use the "Use FPS for Limiting" option for this game.
