So um...How exactly do you get star
242? I have 9999 bits and 49 comet coins but I'm getting nothing. Do I have to beat Bowser again or something?

Koodo said:Did you triple jump + spin? A lot of the green stars require a triple jump. Using Mario should be fine I think (I used Luigi for all the green stars though).
lol wow I played the entire game (this far at least) without ever using triple jump, I had to google how to do it, Thanks I was able to get the star.

So I'm playing through again to get the greens, and I must say that the
makes me wanna reach into the screen and give 'im a big hug. I like that and the Lumas that cheer you on. Completely non-invasive and a very light touch.
green Toad in Bowser's Lava Lair that apologizes for not being able to find a 1-up and instead gives you four starbits

Exactly. I have always wanted to create a "pure" platformer (think FlUD-less levels from sunshine) that would have a subscription plan similar to the telltale games. This would be different in that it would be far more frequent, in doses of one or two levels at a time.
Anyway, I agree. I would love that.

Post game stuff:
I've been using Luigi pretty much exclusively post 120, does Mario have any advantages for
?
Got the last 80 green stars in one day, and eventually managed to beat Grandmaster. The final comet showed up immediately after I got star 241, even though I only have about 3000 starbits on me (8000+ in the bank though).
So, in addition to one hit deaths, I have to kill all these hammer brothers with the extra floaty cloud suit jumping?

YES. <3 It makes me so happy to see Toads in action. Not /the/ Toad, of course, but a pleasant surprise nonetheless.

You got a gold crown when you had 241.
242 is fuckin' platinum. Your Mii should also be sparkling.

I didn't see this video, but did it look like this shot? If so, yes it was there, but it's been remade a little bit.
TelemachusD said:
Okay, what the shit. I thought you needed 9,999 in the bank. How many do you have exactly? This collect Star Bits requirement is now not only stupid but also confusing.
Did any character at any point even hint at it?
TelemachusD said:
I think Mario might be a touch easier, if only because he might be easier to hop quickly over the lasers with. Maybe. If it's not my imagination.
Though I eventually did it with Luigi.

Argh just a week to go until us poor UK souls get the game and my wallet was stolen from work last night. Had to cancel my card so I think my preorder might backfire when they try to take payment. Fucking typical.

I have never seen a game move so frequently, brilliantly and flawlessly between 3D and 2D portion. My god.
Also, the shadow clones are such a good idea in this game. First I was like":/ - "I already know this guy", then I was like"when they just kept spawning, finally :O as I realised that they were retracing my steps!
Totally changes the way you approach the level, makes every step you take a conscious decision. Great stuff.

I have 3142. Banktoad has 8000 even. At one point I filled him all the way up to 9999 just to see what he would say, then took some back so he would have room to keep the extra few he adds when you talk to him. But at no point have I ever had that many on me.zigg said:
And no, no one has mentioned anything about needing max starbits.

After searching for
all day yesterday, I keep hearing that twinkling sound in my head like there's one right behind me.
green stars

So I just finished collecting all 120 stars, and if the first galaxy is any indication it turns out the second quest is just
What a lame copout way of extending the game. Good thing everything before then was MIND-MELTINGLY FACE-FUCKINGLY AWESOME!!!!!
finding randomly placed stars in the levels with no clues as to where they're hidden?
nincompoop said:
The first few green stars are boring. Just find and get with either flip jump/triple jump/yoshi betrayal.
Then you reach the final level in world one and see a star at the top of this high wall you have no way of jumping that high. Plus there's a lake of lava. First you look for different routes and jump locations. Then after there is none you think about it more and it finally hits you. These green stars could potentially be amazing.

I hope that's the case, my comment was based on the first galaxy where all three were in very easy-to-miss locations, which weren't even remotely difficult to get to once you noticed them but if you didn't notice them and blasted off to another planet you woouldn't be able to come back to them and would end up wasting your time searching through the rest of the level. Having to explore every inch of a level to find something isn't exactly my idea of a good time.zigg said:

There was only one I couldn't find on my own:nincompoop said:
Fleet Glide #2
And only one other one I could easily see but couldn't figure out how to get:
Melty Monster #3 on the Rock Mario starbit farming course, kept rolling, falling, jumping, and bouncing by it.
the block in the corner of the regular star area to stop your roll and then long jump back a platform and walk to the green star,
I did jump to this one,
from the top of the thwomp, jump, spin, wall jump, spin, and I'm on top with Luigi.

So how did everyone else
in ChompWorks? I had to do a sequence of timed backflips to make it along the path.

Just finished the game
. I don't think I have to harp on how good it is. It's the best game of the year. But if there's one thing SMG1 did better it's having a more coherent feel. SMG2 feels like a bunch of small random levels thrown strung together which you have to finish until you reach the end. I did miss those bigger levels SMG1 had. SMG1 also made you feel like you were working towards a goal and the conclusion felt a lot more satisfiying to me. SMG2's final boss
. I would really like the Mario series to return to a more adventurous feel after this. SMW is still the only game in the series that nailed this feeling, maybe take that as a blueprint? Hell if you reach the secret Star map you could even chuck in a few Mario Galaxy style levels in there.
But this is really just nitpicking. SMG2 is brilliance defined. The leveldesign is a lot better than the already brilliant SMG1 and the variety on display is just staggering. If it's not my favorite Mario game it's definitely in the top 3, thus making it an automatic contender for one of the best games ever made. It really is that good.
And I'm not even half-done!
(with the minimum required 70 stars)
was so easy I didn't think it was gonna be the final battle after all, but it was.

Sounds like what I did too.The_Technomancer said:
How about the last one in Bowser's final level? Some people were saying
to keep some clouds
Yoshi-- running start, flutter jump, betrayal jump. The final jump off Yoshi
Not even 30% done

I'm up to 85 stars now, I was trying to take it slowly but now I am getting stoked for the post game challenges. This game is too good.
