I want them but I haven't had time to take a picture of my favorite moment in the game yet.

You can't get infinite lives, the numbers eventually become crowns, but you can get a shitload of lives, then beat the level, rinse and repeat.

Finally got all the flags, stars, and stamps with under 100 deaths even!
That number immediately changed upon playing the final levels.
Anyways, I absolutely adored this game. It's pure fun on a disc. This year has seen a lot of great games, but Nintendo has really outdone themselves this year. Between this, A Link Between Worlds, Pikmin, Animal Crossing, and Pokemon it's been one hell of a year coming from Nintendo.
I do wonder if this game's impact would have been greater if 3d Land had never come out. Both amazing games, but 3D World definitely does feel like an upgraded sequel to 3D Land that does a lot of the same things similarly.

ah yeah I forgot. I managed to get 550 lives though ^^
I remember the E3 trailer showed a quick clip of 4 players running on those flipping platforms together. I'd love to see a full Mario club video of that stage.

I'm just going to stick my fingers into my ears, close my eyes, and pretend 3D World got the sales it deserves.

That's why I do for Wonderful 101. These are tears of joy, ya'll

Don't really care. They're stupid.
"oh you're not Peach lol"
I mean this is basically my only complaint about the game, other than the savannah level being a big empty field. Remainder of game is awesome.
So guys.... What the hell am I doing wrong?
I replayed Star-1 and Star-3 like.. three times already for the timer thing but nothing seems to work. I keep getting those --- lines.
As you can see I already have all the stars, stamps and even the golden pole.
Nothing! any suggestions?

That's best. It's going to be a while before Nintendo fans get some peace. They gotta put a fire to Iwata's booty and turn Wii U around

Don't die mid-stage. It doesn't count runs that start from the checkpoint.So guys.... What the hell am I doing wrong?

I believe you get the line if you die within the stage and continue from a checkpoint. This basically cuts your time short and would give a falsified time, so it doesn't count. In other words, you have to beat the stages without dying after the checkpoint
Edit:
To be fair, though, a savannah is basically a big empty field. Shame about the sales, but I guess I'd rather play great games that don't sell than mediocre ones that do.

Been having some great (weird) interactions with people in the 3D World community on Miiverse. It all started with my idiocy...
I saw that original post the other day!
Didn't know that D:
But I finally did it!! \o/
Second half of ★-1 was really annoying tho.
Thanks for your help guys

Woah did not notice this before. This is online only?
(In the midst on concoting sly plan to buy 3DWorld and Pikmin only to return Pikmin and get the 50% off SM3DW. I already own Pikmin)

Well, I made it to the last mystery house and the last level, I'm pretty sure I'm done though. I really don't think I can beat those two levels. I got all stars and stamps on all the other levels, but those two, eh... I already don't have a high opinion of this game and to keep dying like a million times to be stuck in the same 30 second sequence, I think I'll pass
I asked in store today and they said online only, maybe you'll have better luck.
They also have eShop cash cards for 20% off right now.

The Super Secret Character THAT NO-ONE KNOWS WHO IS is sooooooooooooo slooow
cute though
and how about we keep the sales talk to the NPD or the dedicated 3D world sales thread, huh?

Weren't the sale for 3D world for the first 8 days only? The official PR says that Mario 3D world sold over 215K in its first 8 days. Nintendo aren't the type to boast about mediocre sales.

LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU
Her voice from the Galaxy games and Mario Kart Wii with all the echo effects was better.
Her new VA sounds bored and uninspired.
Sometimes i swear i hear Mario for the sound effects.
Haha that's awesome
You've been at it for a while, eh? I had to stop on Monday, because I was getting too frustrated. I'll probably try again this weekend. I've gotten to the 2nd star just once, but can pretty consistently get to the
swinging spike part
I stopped for almost a week. Got back to it yesterday and my brother figured out how to do most of it so I learned from him >.> My timing when platforming still sucks. I end up dying at the
swinging spikes

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
That part is designed for you to run right through it without stopping. The more you stop to think, the higher your chances of getting confused and messing up. At most, you should be stopped to wait for the moving platform.
I feel that's really the design of the level as whole. At any moment where you stop and think, you'll most likely end up dying. There are a few points where you catch a break, but I do much better and advance farther when I don't take those breaks.

That's true and part of the beauty of that level. Even after the 100th death, there is never any downtime and the player can sprint through the sections which they are comfortable with.
You can do it!
I feel this whole level is more about consistency. Find your best route/timing and stick to it. Even at the very last part with the
speed boosters
I think the beat blocks is easy once you get the rhythm down. I almost never die in that section anymore. I die at the
swinging spikes
I agree about stopping to think. It's worst during
, you stutter for half a second and that's it.
About that part that's being talked about, this is my strategy:
Then again, if you got that part down in a different way it's better to not overcomplicate things now. Finding your own rhythm is the key to this level.
Beat Block part
About that part that's being talked about, this is my strategy:
Obviously jump to the second platform, jump over first two swinging spikes
Now, when the yellow platform arrives to you get on it and as it starts moving jump right as the spike is about to hit you, but not far enough, just enough to be next to fuzzies and being able to land on the platform under you.
Now, flip jump over the fuzzies, it's high enough to not be hit by it. Jump over the next two swinging spikes, quickly run right and jump as high as you can, you should miss the fuzzies by about an inch and not get hit if you jump at the very end of the block
Now this is the trickiest part and you need the exact timing and good control over Mario to pull it off. Get on the yellow platform, jump over the first swinging spike, then jump right over the second swinging spike and as soon as you touch the platform long jump to the right. The gap is short enough for you to reach it and you should barely, but still, outspeed the returning swinging spike.

I think you can crouch under that first set of fuzzies.
You can also just grab the plant.
