Most of the early ratings is "This is the worst cause its easy to die and I suck at the game but that's the game's fault". I stopped when he said Hazy maze cave is a bad level because it has insta death traps...that boulder does 3 damage, NOT insta death. You literally have to die on PURPOSE there to get that clip... and there is NO reason to longjump that pit backwards...EVER.) SHame cause it's an interesting video, but nothing kills a rating video faster than "I never actually played the game but going to talk like I've been playing for years". Note to self, when a video opens with "is this top tier game REALLY as good as people think it is or is it overrated?", expect to see a series of "I don't get why people like this popular game, it's not good cause I keep failing to make easy jumps."

it shouldn't even be a question that dire dire docks 100 coin star is the worst, barely over 100 coins in the level, so have to re-get the red coins if you don't do it in the same go, multiple piles of coins that are completely required to find that are in places you wouldn't even think of checking since you can't see coins until you're really close, plus being an underwater stage is just so slow, with multiple things that can happen to make you have to reset like the whirlpool or getting sucked into that vent that sends out outside the castle. just a terrible terrible star

7:15 I find it easy to get the 100 coins at Bob bomb battlefield and I did so without spinning around those pillars. You actually don't need to do so. The thing that's a little more tricky is trying to get the coins that you shoot yourself out of the Canon to get that normally you would go through the hoops of coins to get a star but if you're trying to get all of those coins up there that's more tricky.

You can just jump out of the hole where the Mysterious Mountainside star is. So for the 100 coins star, you can do the slide first, then collect the remaining coins on the mountain. I can't remember if the star would remain after leaving the sub area, but if it does, then you would also be able to attempt to collect the star as many times as you wish. It is still a 100 coin star, so it is still among the worst. Missing the star is a problem on the DS version, where the hole is blocked off, though I don't think you are forced to do the slide, as the levels have more coins.

@Speireata4 20 күн бұрын

You don't need the blue coins in the cave in Tiny-Huge-Island. I won't continue watching. Two mistakes in the first few stars is lack of either research, expertise or talent or just laziness. The other mistake is, that you can do the slide in Tall-Tall-Mountain before getting the other coins.

Two things that stood out: 1- tall tall mountain 100 coins- at the start, run backwards to the edge where the path runs out and jump, wind will carry you up to scale the mountain faster, then enter the slide first. 2- every time you jumped near a ! box, you can just ground pound next to it to open the box, instead of completing your skid jump and jumping again to break it, just ground pound as you fall from your skid jump.

@Bolpat 15 күн бұрын

Ranking the difficulty of a star is hard. Not every star is supposed to be the same difficulty. The Secret Aquarium gave me anxiety as a kid. On every other water level, when you fear to drown, you can at least try to reach the surface and unless you're red, you're probably gonna make it. The only exceptions are the sunken ship and the Aquarium. Notice that you can access the Aquarium with just 3 stars and you get thrown immediately into it after checking out the room and the obvious holes. With the pirate ship, you can expect there to be no air and you get at least a little diving experience entering it.

@brare45996 13 күн бұрын

For the Tall Tall Mountain 100 coin, you can go to the slide first and then hop out and do the rest. Or if you fall off the slide, you’ll respawn there so you can get those out of the way first. For Big Boo’s Balcony, long jump to the roof above the window, there should be a flat surface. From there, switch to Mario camera and walk slowly up to the top and across until you’re perpendicular to the star (which you can verify via Lakitu camera). After that just jump or fall to the platform. Still pretty tedious and might not happen the first time, but it’s a better way to ensure you can reach the star.

For me the worst one is the secret castle star in the upper part of the castle, there are two rooms, one goes to Rainbow Ride and the other one goes to this star: You fly across clouds to get 8 red coins. If you fall, you have to watch Mario falling all the way from the sky to the water outside of Peach's castle and then you have to swim and walk all the way up to the room again. I hate this so much, it's a very long punishment for failing. "Yes, you can retry, but first you have to do 2 minutes of bullshit". Hazy Maze Cave 100-coin star is my second worst, the blue coin switch makes them appear outside of the screen so you have to guess where to go and if you guess wrong there's no time and you need to start all over again. Horrible stuff. Still I love this game!

@KimiiiRaikkonen Күн бұрын

I don't agree with you putting those 100coins stars so badly. It's a great way for a casual player to spend time exploring the map fully, it's very time consuming yes because you don't know where they are. but it is very rewarding. and as a little kid, I did not remember things like that being tedious. As a kid, I remember I had 119 stars. and never found the 120. unfortunately, both the console and game is lost and never found, so I will never know which star I did not found.. But I remember that was super annoying to just not find the last piece of the puzzle, to finish and be done with the game. My worst star is the manta Ray star, because the rings are so bugged. It's cool if it was not bugged hitbox
