checkymcfold 0 Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 In retrospect I think the melty molten daredevil run was tougher than any of the purple coin challenges.that one took me an hour or two last night :)red comet, here i come! Link to post Share on other sites
dEv~ 19 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 108 stars and all that's left are the purple coin challenges. I played for about an hour today on a few different ones and didn't get any of them...great stuff. Link to post Share on other sites
dna4ever 2 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Been playing this game off and on for a week now, LOVE IT!I think I have like 37 grand stars or something. Just beat the 3rd galaxy. The only thing so far that I havent beaten is that damn rock monster guy on the 1 life comet thing, but I will eventually knock it out.About to start the 4th galaxy now.

Don't worry about it now, go back and destroy him later when you're a pro . Link to post Share on other sites

I fly through the first 4 hits with ease, but when he grows the arms I start getting trouble. When I had 3 and/or 6 lifes it only took me about 2 or 3 times to beat him, but this one life thing is wearing on me.Think I'm gonna take Tim's advice and just let it go for now and move on.

Then you don't have to spin as much to get the boo's to hit him. But I did that one last as well (well, before most purple coin levels) when I was much better at the game.

timwakefield 68 Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 You may be doing this already, but have you tried shooting the boulders before he throws them?Agreed but don't shoot the black ones, let him throw those to you. Also if you can pull off the double hit, well it's awesome (grab 2 ghosts at once). Link to post Share on other sites
dna4ever 2 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 You may be doing this already, but have you tried shooting the boulders before he throws them?good tip, i hadn't tried that.I got the 60 stars and beat Bowser, now I'm off to try and get the other 60 stars so I can repeat the whole thing as Luigi.I tried the Toy Land purple coin level with the disappearing floors and OMG that's insane. I saw a youtube video of some dude getting all 150 instead of just the 100 you need, what a sicko!This game is so sick, loving it!edit - i just went back and reread this entire thread and realize I am talking the exact same things everyone else talked about 4 months ago, oh well.

dna4ever 2 Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 up to 93 coins, got 2 purple coins left in the engine room, that damned luigis purple coins and another timed one. not sure if i will ever get that luigis purple coins one.these appear to be the last 2 coins i can get. I guess when I get these 2 then 25 more things show up? Link to post Share on other sites

I guess when I get these 2 then 25 more things show up? If you have beaten Bowser then all of the levels should be open. What happens is that the comet levels randomly appear and disappear. Go to the Luma to the right of the terrace and ask him to "move it." Snack-a-diddly-do and there you go, he randomly opens a few of the comet levels and shows you which ones he opened. Pretty much go feed him every time you beat a level at this point.Also, it sounds like you might have some secret stars still out there. Once you beat all the regular levels, go back and when you're looking at the levels, if it has a ? mark on the star that means there is a secret star there. And yeah, I thought I would just never beat Luigi's purple coins (only tried it a few times). Then when it was one of the last stars I needed I went back and knocked it out pretty handily - it's all about the long jump. Master the long jump. Link to post Share on other sites

Master the long jump.I have beaten bowser and gotten every hidden star and purple star except the two left in the engine room. I even beat the 3 green star levels (are there more than 3?). I know from reading there is something to do with red coins or red mario or something later after I beat the purple coin levels. I know there are two 'gate galaxies' or something somewhere, but I havent found those yet either. Link to post Share on other sites

I know I tried that crap 40 times until I got it.Geeebus, 1 time on the purple coins level.My only advice is to start off on the right side, and basically do a big loop so that you end up coming back over on the left and there should be a pretty decent path back to the starting point. Also just try to get to 100 while you're headed back to the start. Link to post Share on other sites

Also just try to get to 100 while you're headed back to the start.I did it by starting up the left side. I got about 80 coins before having to get risking with the long jumps. It took me some time but the first time I got 100 coins I happend to end up right at the platform where the star is. Link to post Share on other sites
