How do you get the gold flag?
Reach the top of the flag pole, the catsuit makes this incredibly easy.
I've managed to beat
as Mario without power ups once so far. My method is pretty much
Other half is pretty easy and doesn't require any special tricks other than staying inwards at the start of the dash panels and moving outwards as you progress.
Champion's Road
-sprint right at the start and jump off the second octogoomba on the moving platform where the coins are lined up, wait for the two platforms to line up and then roll jump to the pipe.
-If you run and high jump you should be able to bounce from fire bro to fire bro to the top of the next part
-roll jump onto the next part and short jump onto the CC to bounce to the safe area and then short jump bounce off the next set of CCs for an easy crossing.
-For the beat blocks at the start just run in a circle for the speed boost and then jump onto the blue ones right before they appear then hop to the red ones then blue and roll jump to the safe area.
-Use the blocks on the right as a staircase and make sure you jump on the elevated corner on the top ones then roll jump to the other set(I'm pretty sure luigi and toad can just jump to safe area but don't hold me to that)
-For the last section just jump block to block for the first part but for the last pair jump from blue back to red and then blue again to give you enough time to get to the star

Finally beat
Champion Road
The part with the
red and blue blocks
For the double block portion:
1. jump the double red block in two jumps;
2. the moment you land on the first blue block, jump back onto the second red block while at the same time
3. switching the direction your character is facing toward the blue blocks (took me forever to realize you could do this);
4. as soon as you land on the second red block, get a bit of a running start and jump onto the first blue block which should be on the verge of reappearing;
5. clear the blue double block in two jumps.

Using this method, I achieved a 99% success rate, give or take a percentage point on account of hand cramps :/ Hope this helps!
Edit: What el odio said much more succinctly lol

The method of getting all three green stars is pure madness.
I kind of gave up for a while. I'm very busy and I've been in a bad mood, so it was too much for me. I was shouting and cursing left and right lol I'll destroy it soon enough.

And right after saying that, I get a perfect run.

Some levels I just said f it to get all 3 greens in one run, just beat the stage with what I could get then rushed just to the hard one

I was just thinking of a new mode that would be great. A vs mode, for up to four players. It would have different arenas to compete in. These would be small stages, with various platforming elements. Each stage would have different items and power ups to use. The last player standing gets to run to the center to collect their green star. The levels keep rotating, until a player reaches three green stars.

The success of others absolutely infuriates me.
CR attempt is closing in on 200 lives and I've only reached the first green star. This level.

Can't seem to get past level Star-9
. I get to the part where you have to
and just cannot get the timing down. Any tips on when I have to hit the jump button or what I have to do?
Cosmic Cannon Cluster
time your jumps up the column of cannons
Multiplayer is sooo good. Can't stress this enough. If people are a little turned off by it thanks to experiences with the New Mario Bros Wii/U, I'd suggest people give this multiplayer a try. It really is a different beast. The 3d plane and different character abilities really frees up movement, making the whole of the experience less hectic,. But beyond the functionality of the mode, the most surprising thing to me about my multiplayer experience was how everyone playing independently and all at once engaged in the, for the lack of a better term, magical moments of the game. Its like those family get together commercials, where there is nothing but chaos. But when the Christmas turkey hits the table everyone instantly comes together to share in the moment. That's 3D World multiplayer.

I said it earlier in the thread, but whoever decided to make the run button the "pick up your friends" button in multiplayer is Satan incarnate.

Just hit Home, then browser, then go to any image upload site like Abload.de or Minus and upload it like a normal file.
Sucks monkey balls. I only got it right once. I need tips for that too.
So I just stored and used an extra Cat Suit for that.
I played one level with my brother and it felt like an entirely different game to me. I want to replay it with multiple people eventually. I don't have the same issue going back to single player only.
Yeah, if you can get the sound block part I don't think it's too bad. The final part is daunting but if you wrap around to the left at the start, cut back to the middle and then go down the right you can absorb a hit and just jump to the box. I took a screenshot before the final sets to see how bad it would be and I got the three levels beat in 9 lives which surprised me.
3d Land never connected with me much but I want to go back and push more in the post game as I never saw the final level for it. I've heard it's ridiculous.
Stay stationary, do not move left or right and just hold jump in time to hit the first ball, then continue holding jump. This should line up with the two other balls as well without any movement.
Edit: This was while using Mario.
Oh, neat. I don't suppose I can take shots I already captured to Miiverse and convert them into proper-res shots on Abload.de, etc, can I?
this worked great...thanks
I did it this way but I found out that you can still use the cat power up with the cannon to climb up the wall.
Yeah, blocks over your head don't override the power. Might be useful to get the feel of jumping off those down for later levels though.
Truth. Timing is very crucial for
Flower World and beyond. *shakes fist at Champion's Road*

I really love Mario's and Luigi's models in this game,
what I don't love is how Rosalina has been shrunken down significantly, she looks weird.

I really wish I had a group of like-minded friends to play this with. I tired playing with people were either terrible at videogames or just not into platformers. It was an ok time, but too chaotic (and not in a good way). Really, I just want to clone myself and have a good old four way with Mario.
I'm in World 6 and so far I have collected every green star, but there are some flagpoles and stamps which I have missed.
The question is:
The question is:
I know that there are 4 extra worlds and I know, that I have to collect all stars, flagpoles and stamps to unlock it the 12th world. But, do I have to do the same to unlock previous 3 worlds? Will green stars be enough?
Yup the green stars are all you need for them.
Great. In that case, I'll leave the rest for the end.
I hope, that 12th world is going to be worth it.
The game's fun, but the 8-directional movement is just horrible. Awful decision by Nintendo, makes movement that little bit less precise than it should be. Anyway, just finished world four with all the stars, stamps and golden flags, generally enjoying things despite the very noticeable step down in vision and quality from the Galaxy games.
I have to say, just like with 3D land I can't really see the difference. In fact, even 3d land wasn't 8 way, it was proven that it had more levels of sensitivity and apparently depended on the level. I don't doubt it's the same here.
Im at the same point myself in terms of progression and lives spent haha
I just cant get one area of the beat block section down. The formation right after the initial long jump one screws me up almost every time
It's making the really small adjustments during jumps for me, or aiming fireballs, or anything which requires a small but important degree of accuracy in aiming. Running around is fine, but the frustration when Mario gets sent to his death for not responding to some small adjustment gets annoying.

It is pretty amazing how great the game controls, even with the digital D-pad.
I think the wall climbing mechanic (Cat-mario) could have felt awkward in the hands of other/ less capable devs.

Defeating Bullies is really satisfying. I want to take on an entire hoard of them.
This is how I feel as well. The game controls incredibly smoothly and I've never had an issue with the controls at all. Any instance where I felt like I wasn't able to judge a jump or landing properly came down to an awkward camera angle and not the controls themselves (and this has only happened once IIRC).
I believe you only unlock this ability later in the game. Mine don't either and I'm in
World Bowser.
This only unlocks once you
unlock the crown world
Unfortunately you can't.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Finished everything with Mario. Beating Champion Road was probably the most satisfying gaming accomplishment for me this year. Never again.
Amazing game. Not my favorite game this year (that goes to A Link Between Worlds), but still top 5 material, definitely. Hopefully, NA sales are good, but I kinda doubt it at this point.
