You never lose your chance I don't think. You just gotta replay the levels where you used the invincible tanooki suit that comes out of the shame block without using it. And collect all the stars etc. the shame suit prevents you from collecting stars etc after you use it too.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
So how much of the "complete experience" am I missing out for playing through this solo?
I have an option to play it with my super casual girlfriend, but is it really worth it?

I played with my super casual sister and it was a completly different experience. Though ymmv, the only games my sister has played: Both galaxies. nsmbu, 3dland and like half of oot. so she has some experience with 3d. Sadly the game is over for her already, she cant suvive in star world (she cant survive in any post game of mario really).
You will probably have a lot of fun either way, but if you play with your girlfriend, she'll probably have a lot of fun too!
The game does a great job of starting out simple enough that anyone who understands how a character moves in 3d space can learn how to play before it starts demanding too much from the player. A few of my casual friends have been playing with me, and have been having a blast. I'd say at least have her try it
What game does right: Everything. 10/10 game of the year.
Okay I just beat the game, playing the last world with my brother, and then went on to
AMAZING. There wasn't a dull moment and I was enjoying every second of it. Two player multi is fun without being utterly chaotic (Although 3/4 player has its moments of pure chaos which is enjoyable). Can't wait to see what comes next!
10/10 GOTY, I haven't played anything this fun in a LONG while
I recorded all of the footage I just mentioned and I'm gonna upload it. You can just hear and see how much fun we were having!
go into space and play that whole world, and unlocked Rosalina

Aaaah, that took me ages to work out too - you need to keep your finger on the jump button as you bounce from plant to plant.
I never actually grabbed the suit,but I did accidentally open that block that contained the suit a couple of times I think.
Meh.
Damn, that sucks. Anyone have any more info on this?

It's a pro controller with a screen in it. You will survive.
My touchscreen is broken.
That's a problem. You can complete the game but you won't unlock the final level unless you collect all stamps and green stars.

Oi. Good point. ^^
It's only mandatory in, i guess, 2-5 levels. Quite possible you don't need them to complete the game. Not sure about this.
Have you send it in?
Certainly you can deal with playing "a" level every few worlds with the GamePad, no?
edit: forgot about the broken screen, sorry
Not yet. I only found out last week about it not working, and I've been too busy/lazy to call Nintendo.
Well, we had established that part already.
Well Shibata gave a spoiler warning for the Nintendo Direct one so I avoided it and I only read Iwata Asks when I have finished a game so for me to have it spoiled in a completely irrelevant thread did ruin the surprise.Was it ever, when it was in several trailers and an Iwata Asks?
GamePad is required in 3 levels I think, right?
That's not a lot but yeah, it's impossible to get
without them. Don't you know someone else who has a Wii U? Maybe you could borrow their Pad for one day, it doesn't take much time.

Know someone else who actually owns a Wii U? What are you taking, crazy pills?
But really, I'll give Nintendo a call sometime this week and see what the repair process/fees are. If it's free, I'll ship it back and probably wait for the new one to arrive. If it's ~$100, I'll have to make a decision whether or not to just buy a new Wii U.
You may have accidentally grabbed it by accident and forgot. I think you have to actually grab it to not get the first shiny star when you beat the main game.
False.
Some levels from the main game require the gamepad to go through them.
The Toad levels are just a bonus.
What if you accidentally grabbed it(without thinking), realized your error and killed yourself, then completed the level without the invincible suit?
I think your OK as long as you complete the level without it. If you have all green stars and the golden pole then you should be good.
To be more specific, the touchcreen is only absolutely necessary on levels in which you tap special crystal blocks to make your way up/across areas.
Any with just the Propeller Platforms will be completable.
They are literally the only thing keeping you from 100%.
EDIT: Shit, forgot about the Japanese sliding doors in some levels.

But they're always on alternate paths, no? Like, you either get a choice or they lead to a pipe with a bonus or whatever.

Three stages can't be completed without the gamepad. It won't even let you start the stage without it.
Puffprod Peaks requires it for the platforms you have to blow to activate, and it has those platforms in the wall you have to touch to activate.
Hands on Hall (2x) has those doors you have to open with the touch screen.

Yes, I know, but you don't have to enter them at all to get to the "end" of the game and fight the boss, do you? What I'm saying is there are split paths on the map to take.
I never actually used that suit anyway

I think Digital Foundry claimed it has one of the most stable 60fps update rates ever in a console game. Basically it never drops a frame.
Good job, Nintendo.

I hope that Bowser keeps his theme music from this game in future Mario games and Mario spin-off games. I consider it far superior to Koopa Road from Super Mario 64, and it seems to be a lot more flexible in terms of remixing.

That's what I meant. You are never going to get roadblocked by one of the gamepad only levels, it's off the path each time.
But it does mean you can't unlock the final bonus world.
