Also remember: use the spin to alter your momentum. It'll help you keep those combos going especially when bouncing in circles.Forkball said:

I guess the remote itself could be dying.
The sensor bar isn't actually a bar that contains sensors, it's a bar containing two IR lights for the sensor in the remote to lock on to. It determines if it's pointed at the screen by whether it sees two lights side by side, its twist by what angle they're at, and its distance by how close together the lights are compared to when it was turned on. Two candles on top of or below the TV is a cheap, easy way to have two parallel IR emitters to see if the sensor bar is working properly or not; they're also brighter in cases of interference.

heh, yeah, that's where the majority of my current total probably comes from (well, at least 2000 of them)Koodo said:

lol I did all the lower groups and it got me enough points to not have to do too much with the upper groups. I dont know why. I feel I had spent too long on the early groups. It was a first try too. I had more trouble with the first stomp challenge until I got the ? coin.
Ok I beat the chimp challenge on
. I decided to not get the enemies on the fringes, and just make a beeline for the top, taking out the guys in my way. Comboing is a bit hard at times, but if you can get to the top with around 4000 points, you can easily make over 10,000.
I also finally beat the goddamn spiny challenge in the
galaxy. I thought I'd never beat it. Speaking of almost never beating things, the hidden star in
took me way longer than I expected. Those rock spitting assholes kept knocking me off. Though the last area was pretty cool.
And I finally get 90 stars and my reward is

unlocking fucking Stone Cyclone Galaxy on acid? I seriously don't know how it's humanly possible to get past some areas here.

I found that amassing a decent amount of lives then getting to a checkpoint right before a lot of star bits is a good way to go. You can collect them all, then die and collect them again. Iirc there's a decent place to do it in Boulder Bowl Galaxy.Forkball said:

I will say this for SMG2, post-game content
is pretty amazing and make you think of the levels in ways you never thought, accessing areas you never knew you could.
It really feels like they're channeling Mario 64 with them, especially with how
139 stars now.
(green stars)
(Bowser Jr.'s Fiery Flotilla Green Star 1 ^_^)
you can select one star from the menu and oftentimes get a different star.
139 stars now.

FINALLY!
Time to play something else for awhile, for whatever reason I wouldn't let myself play another game til
Definitely my favorite 3D Mario, the galaxies aren't quite as memorable as SMG1 visually but the gameplay just doesn't get better than this (a few "meh" stars maybe, and I'm not sure how I feel about
yet).
Further spoilers:
Grandmaster Galaxy, The Perfect Run, what an evil level. Took me more than 50 tries I think.
Time to play something else for awhile, for whatever reason I wouldn't let myself play another game til
I got all 242 stars.
The Perfect Run
Further spoilers:
The Green Stars ended up being much better than they started out as, you are encouraged to use all of Mario (and Luigi's) moves. I hope they do this with future 3D Mario games.

Very last level that can be played.
HK-47 said it better, its not the last level, but the last star.

Wait, hold on
Just did the spring mario bit I've seen people complain about
I was expecting this incredibly hard to control mess from this thread. I did it in two tries, because I fell off near the end the first time.

The Chomp Works, right? With the long line of chomps? That was insanely easy. Were you guys trying to do high jumps every time you land? Because that throws off your timing like crazy. You need to just bounce for a bit and then do a big jump over a chomp.

Yeah people just suck with Spring Mario I guess... like they can't figure out his momentum? I don't know. :\ I loved it, and I wish there was more Spring Mario!

I definitely have the medal, as I finished the level twice (as M and L) and the second time it was transparent. I've since finished roughly five random stars to trigger it, and have had no luck, so I assume it is a requirement.zigg said:

I've gotta be honest,
"collect 9,999 Star Bits to unlock the final level"
Yeah, I hadzigg said:
9999 on banktoad and the comet appeared. You can get the medal before it though.
I'm happy I had it beforehand, it's a silly requirement.
Edit:
I know right, and the stage also pulls something I didn't like at all and cried about two pages ago. :lolzigg said:

Hitting crabs with a rock is not fun
What an overly frustrating star to get

but they give you a checkpoint and everything.HK-47 said:
i think the post-120 stuff is better than a lot of the main game, since it's mostly just platforming. the main game stuff is great, especially during a first run through, but there's a lot of distractions. i'm glad they chose the route they did instead of making us replay the game with a different character.

time all your jumps (no spinning!) on the off-beat tick. I managed to, weirdly, do it on my first try when I did it earlier today after getting game over and many additional lives the first time I actually got the star.HK-47 said:

HK-47 said:
Between Luigi and Yoshi, you can clear most of the jumps without landing on a platform. Also between flutter jump, spinning and betrayal jump, you have three ways to "stall" until a platform appears under you. At the very end, Luigi can just jump on solid platforms, almost completely skipping the flips. All but one of the silver stars is located in a long jumps distance from eachother, so you can just hop from solid to solid and only have to land on a flip once, maybe twice.
In the crystal right before the second flag.Rez said:
I think I can do it now. I watched a video and saw a good path to do it. I usually need a little visual help with some stars like that or LPC in the first game. Just need a path to stick too that I know works.

that'll teach me not too avoid empty crystals (which I assumed were coins)
that is, if I hasn't finished the game already
oh god I feel so empty
