109 stars!
242! Never had a problem with the boomerangs. It was trying to make it past those flipping panels and hoping not to take a hammer to the head. And worrying that I'd go up to spin attack and the waggle would fail to work.
I'm going to go back and work through Luigi's 120 on SMG1, now. That's how much I love this game: it's getting me to go back and play the last again to extend the enjoyment.

I'm 54 stars in and have been getting my plump Italian ass handed to me for like the last 10. I love the game, but being required to get some of the pesky "?" stars in order to advance to new galaxies is really starting to wear on my patience.
I remember one star I attempted to get where you have like 20 seconds to blow up a billion crates with the fire mushroom for one of the robot guys. I was lucky to get half of them. I wanted to kick that little tin-can bastard all the way back to the Mushroom Kingdom.

I don't know how many times I cried, "I shook the Wiimote! I really did! Please! Arrrghhhh!" So annoying.

Fluzzard levels are worse than the Manta races from the first game.
Tiny nitpicking and talking about subjective preferences in design decisions is all I have left, this game is so fucking perfect otherwise.
The level design is the best I have ever experienced, in any game. Bowser's gravity gauntlet? Fucking genius.

So I'm at just about 70 stars..holy shit this game is pretty difficult..I mean I enjoy a challenge, but some of these stars are pure evil. My current nemesis is double time silver stars...holy crap!!!
I mean I don't think I've ever seen the game over screen once in galaxy 1 and I've seems it at least 3 times already.

I disagree. The levels are more visually interesting, the music is better (especially on fleet glide), the controls are pure tilt rather than having a button for accelerator, and just work a little better in general.
Jibber is an obnoxious little pest though, I'll give you that.

Sadly i prefer the button to control speed cause the motion controls are just so unresponsive and ambiguous. Buttons don't have that problem. i love the idea of the fluzzard, but it plays really bad.
fluzzard = bad
manta ray = bad
anything that brings the wii's abilities to the test involving any form of precision= bad
The ideas get me all excited and i'm always let down.
Pointing at the screen to do actions is fine. the wind blowing levels in galaxy 1 i thought worked well.

1. In the area before the end with the spikes on the ground, it's on top of the first blue enclosure. Getting there is kind of tricky.
2. Go under the second boss. I missed this one the first time too, pissed me off cause finishing that star is an exercise in frustration.

Ugh. I just beat the second Fluzzard stage. Even though I didn't beat the first one yet. Question: When I go back to get the coin, do I have to get first place in order to keep it? Please tell me NO. PLEASE TELL ME I DON'T HAVE TO GET THE COIN AND FIRST PLACE. Because if I do, I will throw this fucking disc out the fucking window.
Also, I found the one in
by accident. I never would have thought to look there. lol
Oh, and just beat
on first try. No coin though again. Where are they?

The tokens are always available on the first mission in each galaxy, but not necessarily on subsequent missions (I don't think).Jasoco said:

Always keep to the right when you are walking or jumping. That way, you won't run into your clones on your way back. Keep a steady pace, but and don't worry about going too fast (especially in the beginning). You don't want to go too fast, or you'll find yourself bombarded with clones as you are waiting for the chomp to show up.

Those are the most satisfying to me. Where it is literally at the last second but you still pull through. That happened to me on one of the chimp challenges. Truly a satisfying experience.Jasoco said:
I meant I got it later. When I ran out of time, Mario and Yoshi standing on the ground under the star crying that they missed it by a millisecond. A few tries later and I made sure to get every goddamned clock. Why even have the clocks if they're all required? Just have the time limit from the beginning.
I'm a lot closer to 120 today than I was when I turned it on this afternoon. I have a handful of stars left and one more level to uncover. And the only coin I have left is in that last level. Most of the comets I have left are purple coin ones. Bah. But I have beaten the bird and the monkey and I hope they don't come back. Ever.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, looks like this is going to be only 39 Eurobucks on Amazon Germany (once it's out on the 11th). I wonder how/why they're doing this but can't say I'm complaining.

Ordered the game along with Alan Wake, and Split/Second.
I think I'll start with Super Mario Galaxy 2. I wanna give the Wii its share of time since it's been a while since the last time I played with the it.

So how did everyone else get the Flip Out comet coin? I
got all the way to the end, wall-jumped up to the small solid ledge, then loooong jumped over to the second blue platform, and long-jump spun over to the first w/ coin
Yeah, as I see it with like an overall four minute limit you don't have a good idea of how long the level will take, you might dilly-dally at one point and screw yourself two minutes down the line. With the clocks you always have a very imminent deadline forcing you forward.Jasoco said:
