Partway into world three is when the comets start coming out, its part of the "story".

I beat the game with 72 stars, but I went back and got 4 more so I have 76 in total now. I'll go for all the stars once, but I doubt I'll do them again so I can see if it gives me a special ending like the original Galaxy. Also, in regards to the ending That little bastard stole my hat!

Something I noticed which I thought was a little odd. Beat the game the other day and working on stars. Well, on occasion I'll get the letter from Peach that says about her being kidnapped and gives you 5 1ups. Did I miss something? I thought I freed her.

Then again, this is Peach we're talking about here.

Now I know why Luigi went for Daisy. She never (seemingly) gets caught all the time.

Happened in the first game too. You know, now that I remember that, I wonder if by switching to Luigi I'd get 25 1ups like in the first game too.

They feel to be about the right difficulty to me. Still working on getting through World 3, but I'm already up to 45+ stars and have completed all of the Prankster Comets that came up thus far.

I have only had one that I gave up on so far (will likely go back to it later)

Collect the purple coins on Flip-Switch Galaxy (I think thats the name of the galaxy, the one with all the rotating platforms that you spin to flip.)

I got 71 of the coins, then moved the remote ever so slightly and dropped the floor out from underneath of me. Damn I hate motion controls sometimes. Tried a few more times but never got back to that point.


I loved the huge slide level, and the comet for it. I hope there is another one like it.

I'm up to 19 stars and I'm in World 3. It has been EXCELLENT so far. I love games like this where you don't have to pay attention to anything and you can play for 10 minutes at a time if you want. It's about as perfect as a video game can be.

Yeah, that is great. I have the Wii set up in a non-gaming room so that others in the house can use Wii Fit and Wii Sports, so it's nice to be able to tackle the game a few minutes at a time.

The last battle with Bowser is way too easy compared to the rest of the game. I found getting through the World 6 Castle was harder than fighting Bowser there.

I'm at 127 stars now.

118 stars. So close. Both in the Special World, I'm not sure how to do that boss blitz in 5 minutes. I can do the first two pretty quickly and sometimes that mole in a decent phase, but once I get to the rock guy, I pretty much get stopped in my tracks.

The mole can be done quickly if you realize that he pops up only when he's close to you. For the rock guy, it's pretty much the luck of the draw though. If you can get 2 at once, the first phase should go by pretty quick. He took me a little over 2 minutes to beat. I made it to the last boss without about 75 seconds left, and I ended up beating him with 55 seconds left.

Maybe these last few stars won't be so bad, but they seem rather tedious to find. I wish they'd just give me an open level where I could go to and from wherever I wanted and get them that way.

Yeah, I figure if I can finish the rock guy with 40-50 seconds to spare, I might be alright with the flaming plant. He gave me a little trouble on the normal run, but that was probably just fighting him for the first time. For the rock guy, his first phase doesn't really give me problems at all. Don't know if it's as fast as it could be, but once he summons those hands, ugh.

For that part you shouldn't charge in until your Ghosts are at about 9 o' clock. Hard to describe, but you'll know when the time is right.

Currently at 141 Stars. . I've also deposited about 4800 star bits. I've got to get 9999 to see if I gives me anything yeah, I know it does.

Ended up getting it this morning after work so sitting at 120 right now. Funny about the rock guy though. His 2nd phase went by quicker for me than his first phase. Then again, I got a really nice start as well.

For the magma plant, when needing the last hit, I missed twice and got burned and with 35 seconds left finally got the winning hit. I was on edge the entire time afraid I was gonna choke.

Although if you ask me in retrospect, the final star I got, cosmic clones on the flip in-n-out galaxy, holy hell that was frustrating at the last segment where you have to do the wall jumps + spin (plus the beginning section of that with the spikes). I got hit so many times, I personally think that was worse than the boss blitz.

Thinking of maybe taking a break for now however.

At least they give you checkpoints.

Amen to that.

Am I the only one who's playing this game in short bursts? Seriously, for some reason, I just don't wanna sit and play this for an hour straight, like I do with other games I like.

Funny you mention that. That was my original plan (to play on and off while playing Dragon Age), but I just got sucked into it and haven't wanted to put it down.

I started that way, for the first 20-30 stars or so, doing 5 or so in a sitting.

Then last night I got sucked into it, and played for around 2 hours. This morning I got really sucked in, played for 4 hours finishing up getting my 70 stars and beating the game. Now I just have to go back to see how many of the 120 I can get this time around.
