Finished the final final world. Game is OK. It's never exciting but I died a few times and there's plenty of shit to do. It's just a new New Super Mario Bros game.
Fuck anybody that claims the music isn't god awful though

You get to the W3 Canon from the Tower level. Whilst you're swimming toward the first set of spikes that close in, watch the paths both diverting small blocks take.....
Thank you kind sir!

It's a nice little game. Good mindless and stress-relieving fun when you listen to all those little sound fx and etc. As again people are doing a mistake excepting a platformer to be some kind of Jesus game. Wtf? It's just a platformer with well known characters...
Only grief is that the eShop price is 39.99 pounds. I think 29.99 at max would have been more like it.

Prepare to be blown away.
Screw anyone who says that this game isn't challenging, try playing the same 3 levels continuously for an hour and a half so you can get a great score - that's where the challenge is in this game.
And this is just on the piss-easy mushroom pack levels, haven't bothered with the other 2 packs yet.

Loving this game so far, every time I turn into Gold Mario endorphins just batter my brain and I have a smile on my face, I love that feature, I wasn't sure I would enjoy the whole "collect a million coins' concept but I think it's really put a different spin on the a franchise that hasn't changed much over the years, I find myself playing the game differently to other Mario games.
I'll go into a bit of detail if you want.
My levels were 2-4 > 1-5 > 1 - Castle.
Getting 2-4 right gave me the most trouble, there's lots of tricks you have to do and then on top of that I just couldn't get to the top of the flagpole to double my score, but this is what I did:
The moment the level starts, run right, short jump over the goomba and hit the roulette block as early as possible. If you didn't stop and timed it right you'll get a gold flower.
turn right and shoot the block, slide under it to get a star, keep moving up hitting as many enemies as you can whilst hitting all the blocks containing stars along the way (if you hit them whilst you're not invincible, a star won't appear) and keep moving through the stage.
After the halfway point, keep going right whilst incinvible and you should see a yellow pipe, before you go in it kill all the enemies above you making sure to keep getting stars, when you've killed them get into the yellow pipe as fast as possible. Whilst you're coming out of it, hold left so you hit the wall and wall jump to the gold ring, Now you just need to capitalise on your invincibility by hitting as many goombas as possible, they'll be worth 100 coins a piece if you have the invincibility combo at max with the gold ring activated.
When it runs out just continue to hit goombas with the gold flower until the timer hits the 40 second mark, get down on the platform that moves downwards to the second star coin, get the coin block to give you 50 coins, get the star coin and then go up the pipe.
Then you just continue the level as normal remembering to get the third star coin and get a triple jump to the top of the flag pole.
It gets you around 1800 coins, which gives you 3600 if you get to the top of the flag.
Then I just used my reserve gold flower you get for beating the game in 1-5 hitting as many cheep cheeps as possible, but played the level normally otherwise.
The same with 1-castle, just remember to get a tanooki leaf before the boss door and run backwards through the level then fly up above the giant thwomp for lots of coins.
If you get the flagpole on the second level you'll end up with around 8000 and then beating the boss will double that and take it to around 16k.
62 of those runs and you'll have reached the one million mark haha.

I fucking saw your old score in the jap OT, and all while GAF was down I couldn't wait to show off and there you go and steal my thunder after 5 minutes.
Time to spend more time playing coin rush to Rocky music.

Game is fun, isn't it
? I'm sure you can do better than me at that rate lol.Game is fun, isn't it
It's hella fun, I can see coin rush making me spend more time on this than any other mario game before it.

Same here. When it was first announced I was like "Seriously, that's it now?", but because of the coin rush mode I still didn't finish the actual game, which I started three weeks ago. Still sitting at the end of world 5 lol.
You mean you haven't beaten world 6, which gives you a gold flower in reserve every time you start coin rush? and you still almost doubled my score?
I hate you so much.
I assume Pacific but no one knows for sure

Oh.. I didn't know that lol. But yeah, I don't have that yet...
Ok, I didn't notice the coins multiplier with the star combo and I didn't finish the game for the gold flower. And then a new score of 24000 without it, things are out of control.
I have an interesting setup right now, gold boat level, the lakitu one and castle 5, lost it in the castle but will retry, probably can get more than 10000 coins.

See, I tried that way of playing with nsmb Wii and the Rayman Origins lum count, but I found myself getting so frustrated at doing the same bits over and over that I eventually stopped playing. Not making the same mistake this time.
Really must get around to finishing nsmb Wii and Rayman, too.

Yeah, I played NSMB that way and didn't like it, so since then I just grab what ones I can on the first run through and come back later. I think its more fun that way, you have an actual reason to revisit old levels.

And the thing about the lums in Rayman Origins is that they have a sell-by date. They aren't attached to any score or 1ups or anything like that, they are specifically made for that one goal of collecting a shitload of them by levels end. Once you done that, there's really no reason to ever reach out for them again.
Im the opposite. Fa some reason I enjoy the game more at a slower pace, collecting all the important collectibles before i move on. I played the Uncharteds the same way, where I had to search all nooks and crannies for treasures before moving on. Tried playing again on my 2nd/hard playthrough with all the treasures already saved and i found myself enjoying the game alot less, till I started again with treasures reset.
You're only 800k coins away from the worst reward ever!This gave me a chuckle:

Yeah I know what the reward is, I'm still going for a million anyway because it's fun. (and surprisingly easy to get towards once you start coin rush).
Yeah, I'll be at a million eventually too because I'm sure I'll get addicted to coin rush
According to Club Nintendo, in about 10 hours I think.
I mean do you hear it!

They really, really need to stop with this. The synthesised voice effects have been terrible since the original and they've only become more corny and grating with time. What a bummer.
