New areas and wild jumps shown for Super Mario Galaxy

Localization producer Nate Bihldorf demoed Super Mario Galaxy for MTV's Stephen Totilo last week, promising to show us all something new in the much-anticipated platformer. The resultant clip embedded above has Mario roaming around a sidescroller-ish alternate path in the Good Egg Galaxy and messing with gravitational pulls (Check out the extended jump at the three-minute mark!).
Stephen makes sure to jokingly ask during the presentation, "Now, was this part also stolen from Ratchet and Clank?" Nate laughs off the reference to Insomniac's claim that SMG's spherical worlds were directly inspired by the Ratchet and Clank series, but explains that he hasn't heard the accusations.
As usual, we've got more past the post break. Hustle on over there for a short video of what happens when you drop down the pipe of a smaller planet.

Hmmmm, that video seems to say "Not Accessible"....maybe a region lock type issue.
Maybe someone can get it up on Youtube or somewhere else??
Cheers.

I try not to comment on every Mario video I see because it's basically "I want this game so bad" or "This game looks amazing."
Still, at the risk of sounding redundant, this game looks amazing and I want it so badly.

Might I remind this "stephen" character, Nintendo essentially invented platforming as a whole. I could write a book on everything Sony has that was sniped from Nintendo. So don't get me started.

I think he just wanted a soundbyte, something he might be able to spin to incite some of teh flamewars
But we have seen the capsule world before
