Jimbob Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Found Luigi in one of the Galaxies. To be fair, i do like how Ninty have gone about using Luigi this time around. I wasn't too fond of his use in the original Galaxy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganepark32 Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Over the last week or so, I've decided to play this again, and get all of the green stars as I only picked up a couple of them after I beat the game back in June. Just got star 241. Took an age to do that. So not looking forward to 242. I mean, if I sit down long enough I'll probably get it eventually but I can see it being more frustrating than enjoyable. And while I'm here, did anyone else notice that some of the Goombas looked misshapen? Some of them looked a bit more squat than they normally are. Just rather strange I thought.

From the sounds of it, i'm not looking forward to them stars either. I have been doing a few comets, most of them appearing so far are those pesky "Prankster" comets. Some of them are easy(ish), and some are annoying. Only done about 6 or so comets so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fused King Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Are you confused between these two? There are 2 types of Goombas in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Falcon Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Finally got star 242 today. After getting the first 120, I got the first green star and then stopped. And I hadn't been back to it since. i was worried about it becoming too familiar so I figured a break would be good. But on Sunday, I started my pursuit in full of the greenies. To be honest, I had more trouble finding them than actually getting them. The last one on Shiverburn Galaxy being the most frustrating. Most were a decent triple jump and spin or using Cloud Mario to long jump into the middle of nowhere. As for 241 & 242... Well, 241 wasn't that bad but 242 was by far the most tricky thing in the game but then the Star's name gives it away. Clearly they wanted to go out on a high note and they pulled it off to a tee but it does make you wish for a couple more that were both that challenging and ultimately rewarding.

RP2A03 Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 I thought most of the green stars were kind of lame and far to easy, it quickly got tedious. However, all of that was made up for by star 242. I actually wish the rest of the game was like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deathborn Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 I'm only on 241. It's so degrading. Same for me. Forgot to take the coin in my first run of the level and can't bother to to go back to grab it. The last section with the hammer bros is annoying as hell... I hate those guys and doing the part before again and again and again... to reach it is getting on my nerves. Beside the hammer part, I think I can quite easily do the level without getting hit.

James McGeachie Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Just went back to this game yesterday and went from about 140 stars to 241. I realise now I will never be a real man unless I can finish Star 242, but damn. I completed "The Guy" level in Super Meat Boy the other day and it aint got shit on this for difficulty in my opinion.

I did it in short bursts over a week. However, if you want to know the secret to getting star 242 check my post in the Forum Couple of the year thread.....

nekunando Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Anyone else hoping to see this game under the tree tomorrow? I'd be gutted if it was below the tree tomorrow considering that I got it on release and fully completed it.. even if it is game of the year I'm hoping for Donkey Kong Country Returns.. but the game below my tree could be pretty much anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drahkon Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 164 stars. Done all of the S-World green stars and I'm disappointed...from all I've heard getting green stars was supposed to be slightly difficult...maybe I just got lucky and picked the easy ones The game is still great, though.

There are but a handful of green stars which are tough to get to say the least. It's the final star that'll make you beg for Miyamoto and co. to be focusing on casual games again:bouncy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowan Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Well I'm 20 stars into this game since Xmas. Just opened up the third world and wow this game is pure gaming bliss thus far. Love how the galaxies are littered with hidden stars Music is fantastic as well, new ones just as catchy while it's still lovely to hum along to the familiar tunes! I think the Spaceship Mario has been implemented great and I prefer having this and the World Map than compared to the big overworld in Galaxy 1.
