Yeah, Boomsday was my least favorite of the Bowser Jr fights. Just tedious and annoying. I have yet to do the daredevil run on it though. I did like the megahammer robot he had. That was a fun fight.Branduil said:

242. Look up the video of the Perfect Run. Frightening. And awesome.JRW said:

If anything I like it better. I like hunting around for them more than just rushing towards a goal.JRW said:

Finally got the first 120 stars!
Let's see, an SMG2 boss poster would feature: Peewee Piranha, Giga Lakitu, Digga-Leg, Gobblegut, Glamdozer, Sorbetti, Megahammer, Prince Pikante, Squizzard, Whomp King, Boomsday Machine, Bowser Jr. and Bowser... Any others?BowieZ said:Still awaiting a Mario Galaxy 2 Boss poster!
EDIT: Btw, I'm sad they settled on "Megahammer" over "Malletoid," the latter being what I believe they called the World 3 boss in demos...
I have 4 stars, it's astounding how quickly I've blown through the game in two weeks.
I really enjoyed the flip panel galaxy, it's platform puzzlicious.
It's odd how much I prefer 2D Mario to 3D Mario, but much like with the first game I'm sure I'll adapt to it after a few hours. I can't say I enjoy the camera control though; I'll have to see if there's a way to invert that at least, since I'm sure they won't let you have full control.

So, I have 120 stars - how do I unlock the green stars?
Eh, they added a crown on Whomp King, and he's two generations removed, so I'm not including the half-dozen SMG1 bosses.BowieZ said:You are forgetting one original boss
Also, if you are including Whomp King (and his merry Whimps), you should probably include Bugaboom... but then you should probably include all the others too...
Which original boss did I miss, though??

Finally got all 242! The last star was completely unfun imo;
With that said, the sheer variety in the level design and the fact that the quality rarely suffers even with the ridiculous amount of insane stuff thrown at you catapults this straight to the top of the list of 3D platformers, and possibly even Mario games overall.
if you're trying to make a difficult mission, removing all the checkpoints and forcing you to play through a bunch of easy sections to get a shot at the harder sections is NOT the way to do it. They just as well could have eliminated the first three parts and the level wouldn't be any easier for it, just a lot less boring and tedious.

You kind of have a point with the cloud powerup, but they could have adjusted the design so that you start slightly before the fourth section with the cloud powerup and can make it back to that point quickly using 1 cloud (or 0 if you're good). The star bits didn't come into play for me at all, I just dodge the hammer bros. attacks at the end and attacked them like normal. Either way it doesn't really justify having to play three really easy (and fairly lengthy) sections over and over.

After fooling around for nearly an hour, I decided to ask here. How the hell
I thought I was on the right path by walking around the side of the planet but that didn't help at all.
do you get the last green star at Starshine Beach?

Take the underwater route to get to the top of the tower, pound the switch to make the cloud powerup appear, stand on buoy so the springy part is on top, get cloud powerup, ride leaf to buoy, jump on springy part, make clouds, get star

IIRC, one of the piantas mentions riding the leaf when you talk to him. Though I can understand if you avoided talking to the piantas just in case they wanted you to kick some durians into a basket for them lol.cosmicblizzard said:

At 98 stars now, just beat Stone Cyclone (1) after dying about 40 times. Fack.
Thank god for infinite lives.

It's really not that hard, I did it on the first attempt.
The first three are pretty easy to beat quickly, and the Bouldergeist fight goes considerably faster if you stick close to him and remember to shoot star bits at the rocks he throws - as soon as you pop the black rocks, start swinging and you'll probably hit him, even during the second round when he's got the fists.

You actually have to hurt yourself to get there. You need to long jump to the ledge just after the warp star. This causes you to fall into the lava twice. After that, just head on over to the tower to the left with a wall jump and a spin.
242 get!
Christ, what a game!
242 stars.
49 comet coins.
85 lives (Found a stupidly-easy infinite lives exploit. Hehe.)
9999+4675 star bits.
4410 coins.
Final time: 32:07:30 (17:59:08 for the initial 120.)
Gotta hand it to Nintendo for not only one-upping SMG1 and essentially perfecting the 3D platformer while successfully marrying awesome SMB3/SMW/YI 2D mechanics to it, but also for putting forth more unique content than even the average RPG! What a fucking game.
I don't think I'm quite burnt out on Mario, so perhaps it's time I finally pop NSMB Wii in and give it an honest shot!

Getting the
