Totally agreed with the bolded. The World Bowser theme is the musical highlight of the game for me and this game's equivalent of Gusty Garden (my favorite SMG theme).

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
That was me. My sincerest apologies.
Speaking of which, I finally got all 380 stars. That euphoric feeling when finishing the final level was something else. This would be my GotY were it not for Fire Emblem: Awakening.
Total playtime in Activity Log is 30:36. 5 of those hours were spent with friends in multiplayer so it took me over 25 hours to collect everything. Doubt I'll complete the game as every character though.
Got the game (yay!), got done with the first world, but it felt a bit dull in comparison to the first hour of Galaxy. Still good, but not Galaxy-great. I'm assuming it picks up in a big way over the next couple of worlds?
It might also be due to the fact I'm feeling down after some food poisoning

is hard. I still need to collect stamps and stars. Best game of 2013, fuck VGXflower world
This!
Just finished World 5 and started World 6. Difficulty has begun to show itself (but only because I refuse to a leave a level without getting the 3 stars, stamp, and pole).
This has probably been asked many times before, but does 5-B reappear later if I accidentally fuck it up by being a dumbass?

Star World - Level 1
There should be a fire flower hidden somewhere on that level for that second star, right?
yep right around the area it's needed.
I kind of agree here. Going back, most of the levels aren't really that fun to replay. Most of my replay enjoyment has come from looking for all the little details sprinkled throughout the game. Like, I just realized that the characters' cheeks swell with air when they go underwater.

That's a hammer bro stage isn't it?
If you're talking about the train level then yeah, it will reappear eventually.
Actually, I keep coming back from time to time even when I'm in post-game levels already.
believe us initial impressions in this game are WAY, way misleading. Think about 3D Land if you've played it and x 10
Is this the one with all the piranha plants? If so, yeah, that was pretty hard
Yeah that's the one. I couldn't get it last night. Got everything else so far.
I think it will be hard to replay the game for me too. The seven first worlds are so easy there is no point. This is also where this game philosophy fails : I can replay Super Mario Galaxy because I want to go back to the world it created whereas there's no world in Super Mario 3D World ironically. It's just too abstract, like a puzzle game. I like "pure" games but the most memorable games have a sense of immersion and place IMO.

I'll replay it casually with pleasure, not least in multiplayer mode for shits and giggles
There is also lots of ways to play each level, with different characters and power-ups (or restrictions)

Okay.
my 2 cents :
although I understand the lack of motivation for replays, I consider this game like a running session.
Not always happy to get started.
Not easy to get by with friends to make it easier.
but that's when the perfection of EAD occurs.
3DWorld is a portal. it's, IMO, about finding peace and elevating your spirit through systemic engagement.
Yeah, I was kind of surprised no one wanted them!
I guess Eli can give you one and put the rest on his litter box...plese don't put them on your ass though...
It really gets much better.

I definitely want one, but I live in europe, so might be to much in shipping?
Anyways, I dont get the "no reason to replay"-guys. I spend a ton of time getting 100% in this game, and I am already eager to replay it. Granted, the challenge isnt always the best, but doing speed runs, testing the other characters, and of course, playing it in multiplayer, are all great reasons for replay imo. And then just to experience the great level design again of course.

I just realized I've been shooting pixels for so many years now. This is refreshing.

Of course there is! There's more to discover, and depending on the powerups you have you'll replay a level differently than you did before. That's the way it is for me. Also, I wouldn't call the difficulty in Worlds 3 and up "so easy."

My god...the last star in 5-6.....
First: morfeo, and anyone else who wants a sticker sheet, enter the contest. Eli is more than happy to ship a sheet of stickers to Europe, Eurasia, or anywhere.
Second: I totally agree with both of you re: replays. There are always ways to make a replay more interesting, too, like a no powerup run.
Yeah, that one was brutal!. One of the hardest so far for me (have most of the green stars through mid-World 7 at this point).
When you have found all the green stars + stamps, you have seen every nook and crannies.
BTW, I never saw any ghosts during my play-through, what do you need to do to see them?

About this, I would just get a ton of lives in 1-2 with the shell trick. Also, I used Mario only for all levels, and did usually not use any items, unless I had one from the last, but I would imagine Peach in general would be the best to use on the more difficult stages, thanks to her hoover ability.

Ok, I will think real hard about my favorite part of the game and enter

Not necessarily. There's other stuff like invisible platforms to discover, and playing levels differently depend on what powerups you take. Besides, so what if you have all the green stars and stamps? That doesn't mean a couple of months from now it won't be fun to get them all over again.
There's no better way of rediscovering a level than trying to speedrun it, even if not high level no mistakes run.
It's always good to find out about certain design decisions, why a particular thing was placed in a certain way and you had no clue why or didn't even paid attention to, but now you see it help you cut through the main path etc...
And on this side, 3d world is much developed than 3d land.

I have the exact opposite reaction. Ive beaten 3dworld, but still pop into a couple levels every day or so that i found particularly fun to play. Galaxys longer more open levels, and especially dumping several stars into the same level make it far more cumbersome for me to just jump into for old times sake.

Lol i can't get the last star in 5-6. The timer is brutal. I've already lost 35 lives....

Best character to use is Toad, because it's the hardest with him. Worst character would be Peach, because it's the easiest with her (still have to do it with Mario and Luigi though). For your first run through, do not take a Tanooki suit with you, it completely breaks this level. However, I would take some item with me to not lose your progress on the final stretch.
I dont know about force, I played through it all with Mario, and never hunted for items, but I guess its definitely easier to do a lot of stuff with a specific combination of character and item.
Forcing is happening. Those effing character buttons.
That said, I agree otherwise.
This star is really easy when you have multiple characters

Use Toad. I screwed up at that one twice with

There are only 5 in the game, one for each character.
