his crouching breakdance kick and his sliding kick.
I KNEW I was missing something. I was trying to think so hard about it lol
Took me around 33-34 hours, I didn't play NSMBU so I couldn't tell you what it's like in comparison. I did the game almost entirely with another player (
first play-through
It's pretty easy to get 100% once you reach and beat the crown world at least once, just use multiple controllers and pop the character bubbles at the end of each level.

That's a fantastic idea...if only my Wii and all of its controllers were still in my possession...
You can't skip through the end credits, which is very annoying when having to beat the level with every character.
I attempt to get everything on the first run through and see at the end how many levels I missed stuff on(including a bunch of suicides if I saw one I can't get to) so I don't replay levels until I hit a wall and need to. That and some levels I have everything and missed the flagpole so I was going to just catsuit up and knock those down in a row
I dunno why I do it like that, haha.

I got the game, and man is the nostalgia strong with this one.
The overworld really reminds me of SMW for some reason, and I love the little pixely loading animation.
I'm kinda annoyed by having to hold in a button to run (and how the running is like in three tiers) and the 8-directional movement. A bit miffed about the lack of a backflip as well, seeing as they got the running jump in.
EDIT: Oh, nevermind, there is a backflip

You can access every level without completing the game with every character. The only thing you get for completing with every character are the final stamps.

That's how I play as well. I like it because it gives you a reason to revisit a lot of the levels after beating the game.

There's also an easier way to do it with good timing.
Just watch the icon you want to stop scroll through, and say something every time it passes, like "now...now...now...NOW" and you shouldn't have much trouble getting it.There's also an easier way to do it with good timing.
So much easier just to follow the music cues. It takes less than 10 seconds.
Good to know, that really bothered me in 3D Land. Do we still need to get the gold flagpole, though?
World Bowser is fantastic, the game really does ramp up from the first couple of worlds and far beyond 3D Land. The cat suit is super overpowered though, especially for how commonplace it is. Well, the same can be said for all power-ups, really, I don't think I've seen a normal mushroom so far, but I suppose item placement is more targeted towards multiplayer.

GAME order came a day late, and even after pre ordering didn't contain the sleeve or key ring. Fuck GAME.
At least I can finally play this beauty.

If I see one more person complain about how simple the game is at WORLD 2, I just...c'mon guys. Anyone who's played a Mario game knows it doesn't start to get good until around World 3 or 4.

How are you guys playing it? Gamepad? If so, analog or digital? Wiimote? Pro? I'm finding the Gamepad d pad working the best, no real analog need
Yes, it's one of the requirements for unlocking the final world (the others being all of the stamps and green stars up to that point)

Gamepad (analog) and a bunch of wiimotes here.

Ive been playing this since I got it yesterday morning, I've neglected my PS4 because of it. Just a few worlds left though...
I know but even that says there are moves not listed in the manual, I can do the spin jump and ground pound spring back up thing, are there any others?
And yet, 3D Land.

I'm in the minority camp that thought 3D Land was mostly boring until the 2nd half of the game opened up.
Just bought a Wii U for this game and...
I'm just not feeling it :/
Galaxy 1 and 2 grabbed me from the beginning, I played with a huge grin on my face and every level was a joy to play. Maybe it's because I'm playing it alone but I feel like something is missing, can't really say what.

Give it a couple of worlds. The first two worlds are a bit humdrum but it then becomes awesome.
I too didn't feel the controls at first, but then my brain suddenly clicked and adapted
Give it time. In a couple of words and you'll love it. I mean come on you breed pokemon!
... exactly?

I felt the same about 3DLand and this, but it´ll get better... I promise
While both Galaxys were awe inducing since the very beginning, this one is a slow burner, but eventually it´ll burn as much or more than the Wii counterparts.

Bought this game a couple of days ago, but haven't popped it in yet. Been too caught up with Xbox One and PS4 games. I really need to play this.

Ah, I thought you were saying 3D Land is good from the beginning.

The success of others absolutely infuriates me.

This game is pure charm. Love all the little animations.

that was not 130?
3D land IS great from the beginning. There's no 'challenge' in the first original SMB level, the joy is moving through the level as smoothly as you can, as quickly as you can. Same thing. A great detail 3D Land introduced was the best time record, encouraging such play. The reason it's fun is because as you move through the level it's all platforming - even if there's no risk of _dying_ you're invited to move through it as smoothly as possible, finding that Mario flow. So yes, it did kick it from the start. People who conflate a platforming focus with pure difficulty have forgotten most of Mario's past - the challenge and fun is not only in surviving but finding the perfect race line through levels designed to make that possible.
I think playing alone would be better at first, you won't be able to discover secrets or gather stars and stamp as easily with others.
What do you mean by thirst
