@Griptor I keep dying on the green star there. I'm not sure if I have to actually jump right into it, or just roll off the edge, but it's tough to line up as you're coming BACKWARDS at it.
Dang. Of course when you collect all the green stars the "Galaxy Complete" crown turns Gold. Now my OCD is going to kick into overdrive and force me to spend this weekend getting that for every World ._.;
I'm at 225ish stars right now. Coming up on the end!
In fact I was doing the greens semi-random but around 200 I went back to the beginning and started focusing on clearing them out world by world. I've cleared everything up until world 6 EXCEPT... 3 green stars I couldn't find, 2 of them being 1 each in those bird flight levels! WTF.
No one tell me where they are though, I want to 100% this all on my own.
No, I got them all with Mario. Was that the one at the top of the bridge that you knock over? If so, you just wall jump back and forth to the top.
Anyway, I'm at... 241 right now. Would have just finished the game off tonight but realized I didn't get the comet coin in the last stage yet so I still had a bit left.
@Zero Yeah it was the one at the top of the bridge....how the hell did you get it with Mario? I tried. He doesn't jump far enough. It was hard enough with Luigi. I could barely inch my way up there, it was like 30 seconds of straight wall jumping. I really tried with Mario and he was just getting nowhere up there.
@carlosrox You wall jump and then spin at the last second? All the way up. It wasn't really that tough, though I think it takes a bit to get used to the right time to spin.
@Pandareus Though I kind of half get that comic, it seems to be making Galaxy out to be some insanely difficult game. But it's not, really.
Yeah, you can spin once after each wall-kick. The trick is to spin right before you hit the other side so that you get as much air as possible. Using that technique, it's easy for Mario to scale that area (it can be done in just 3-4 kicks).
Finally got the 242 star. Got a run where my mistakes didn't cost me a hit. I was getting pretty panicky at the end with all those Boomerang Bros. boomerangs flying all over the place.
I'm up to 89 stars. I've defeated every Prankster Comet thus far (including all six of the boss stages and all three levels in World S that I've faced) and I have every Comet Medal but one in World 5.
