Just completed world 2 and am loving it. I can't get over how good it looks and sounds. It's just on another level. Amazing that I'm only getting started.
Has to switch Miiverse off though - it's spoiler central.

By the way, it's now sold out on Amazon as well.... There are 3rd Party sellers with it, but Amazon is now OOS!
I hate killing Boos, they're so adorable!
my GAME shop had two copies left: mine and some other guy
it looks like Nintendo shipped the right amount of units, which obviously can mean a lot of things
It's a front, they act all meek when you're looking at them then stab you in the back
They stab you adorably.
It already did apparently. A bunch.
Yeah, I had over 20 lives when I got in and just got Game Over. The worst part was when I only had one life left and was so, so close to the pole but didn't realize the block had one more turn.

I keep on seeing people having trouble with this level. I beat it 100% the first time. (EDIT: Not trying to be a dick. I don't consider myself an amazing Mario player or anything, but I did consider this level pretty easy). Have you tried not jumping while on the cube? You can just walk to the side you're supposed to be on, it's pretty simple.

My biggest issue with that level was when I would be running up the correct edge at the way it was flipping, I would sometimes hop off into the lava. I think it might have to do with walking/running speed but Im not sure because it seemed so inconsistent.
It also couldve been the ten beers I had beforehand.
I'm not totally sure but I think the blocks spin at the same speed at full walk, so that's probably the best approach. I never seemed to have a big issue with the timing of staying on the block as it spun, just dealing with the obstacles and grabbing the green stars.
Watch out for flying boots.

LOL
Hmm, I actually didn't do that very much. I'll try it tomorrow. Thanks!
Also, a question. To get an absolute perfect world map do you have to collect the green stars for every character on a level so they appear on top of the flagpole on the overworld?

The bonus character (are we still spoiler tagging this?) is GOD TIER because of
It should be a part of every character's moveset. Do the right thing Ninty.
the air spin from Galaxy. Feels so good to throw out reckless long jumps again, and you can still do it out of wall jumps so EFF the catsuit because I GOT THIS.
It should be a part of every character's moveset. Do the right thing Ninty.
To get a 100% perfect world map you only need to get all the green stars and stamps in a level as well as touching the top of the flagpole with any character. From there you can beat the level without gathering stars/stamps with the remaining characters (Including bonus character).
Once you beat the level with all characters the star on top of the overworld flag for the level will become gold. You should have a gold paw print in the top right corner on the map status screen after getting 100% in a world.
I've played about a world and a half. I know it's early to be saying this, but I'm finding the game pretty boring so far. There are a lot of little ideas thrown around, but I feel the platforming is really lacking so far. The game feels tedious to me more than anything right now. I had similar feelings about SM3DL.
Wheres that gif of all the gifs
You need to play more, just keep going dude.
I just realized that there are probably lots of violent Miiverse images, but we never see them because they're censored, lol.
Watch out for flying boots.

I demand you end already,
!
END, blast you!
Champion's Road
END, blast you!
Okay, I issue you all a challenge!
I want you guys to try to get the third green star of 1-4 (Plessie's Plunging Falls) WITHOUT getting a single coin. It's been bugging me because unlike the second Green Star of that level, It looks like its actually possible to avoid the coin rings... but I haven't been successful yet in my coinless runthrough. So I wanna see if someone better than me can prove its possible!

What is the best way to get all the flag poles? Play as peach, or attempt to keep the cat suit. I was going to leave that for last and only bother with stars and stamps for now. Got everything so far up to browser-2. Man I love this game. Hope to get some 4 player games going one of these days.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Similar to my thoughts of the first world, but everyone has told me it gets a lot better as the difficulty ramps up, which isn't all that surprising. I can recognise it's well designed, but the first world really is so unbelievable, cripplingly easy that it did a pretty poor job of grabbing me. I don't mind ease, but sometimes the scales tip too heavily in that direction and clash with player investment, and for me I definitely got that vibe from the first world.
EDIT: It doesn't help that world two is desert and I fucking hate desert.

The silver lining in world 2 always being desert world is that you at least get that awful trope out of the way early.
The last segment is actually the easiest.
Except the game throws whatever they want in any world. I think there is a snow level in the lava world :lol
Mario could get rid of the desert theme for good and I wouldn't miss it.
Cat Suit is the best.
On levels with solid footing, you can however spin around to get the spin jump, which gets you really high.
Yeah but how many exact desert levels are there? One of the beauties of the game is the fact that the look of the overworlds has no bearing on the design of the levels within whatsoever.

There are so many amazing things in this game, but my favorite may just be watching Captain Toad try to jump because it is never not hilarious.
Only -one- desert level in the desert world. And it's a rather nice one, for that matter. All the graphical bells and whistles spice it up nicely.

Just did that one tonight. Even with the Tanooki suit, it was tough! (though I tried to not simply fly over it..XD).
That level in 4 player Multiplayer though....So. Many. Deaths.
Post-game spoiler stuff:
So uh...I ...I need to get every star, stamp, and flagpole thus far up to Flower-12? Cus, I mean, fuck me if so XD. I just did that in 3D LAnd to get that last level and all that level does is make me hate life.
If I have a complaint about this game, this is it. This game isn't as ...'cohesive' as Galaxy. That's fine because it's a ton of fun, but Galaxy was a more 'coherent' package.
Galaxy felt more ..together just because you went into each world multiple times, so, places like, Gusty Garden Galaxy had a life of their own. Each 'level' felt like an overworld, in a sense. Galaxy 2 strayed from this and the rest is history.
dat mario mental programming from when we were wee ones.

And all that does is make it harder to remember which level was in which world.
Ever picked up 3D Land for a quick replay and fumble through the world select looking for something specific? Same deal here.
Honestly, the overworld just doesn't do it for me. The game feels a little uncohesive...disjointed. The overworld does nothing to tie the game together.
I think 3D Land's main problem in this regard was not having names for the courses. I can remember most of 3DW's stages by their names (not off-hand, maybe, but I can make the connections), so if I need to know where it is I'll just google it.

Some thoughts after putting in serious time the past few days:
(1) The level design is generally very good. This is an extremely high fun-per-minute game. I caught myself giggling with delight at Kuribo's Skate and
. It's a good sign when I'm sad that I only get X number of levels focused on a particular gimmick. Of course the levels are too easy, and even the green stars can't turn this into NSMBU's challenge mode, but there are still plenty of fun things to do, and multiplayer remains an unofficial "hard" mode.
(2) The continuing reduction in Mario's moveset is a crime. Additional moves mean more tools for creative platforming. For example, there's the green star in SMG2 that asks you to connect a triple jump off the top of a thwomp, and NSMB Us challenge mode requires all kinds of ducks, spins, and mid-jump twirls. Why take the triple jump away from us?
(3) The camera is a downgrade from the SMG games. 3D Land could get away with its somewhat static camera because of the 3D effect, but the fact is that the default camera angle in 3D World can make a lot of jumps more difficult than they have to be, and the player's camera control is not as robust as SM64 or Sunshine (which, granted, could be pretty horrific too).
(4) The music is killer.
(5) I can't wait to play more. Post-game spoilers:

Just 3 more stamps and a few more stars to go!
I managed to do this and get all the stars in a single speed-run. Lost about 100 lives, though, haha. I might post a video of it later if I can manage to do it again.
