Topic: Super Mario 3D All-Stars

@Eel Yeah, you can skip one star that way.

Early in the game, on island delfino, a poison goop piranha plant appears on a dock. How do I defeat them? Do I have to trow a fruit in it's mouth or something? I forget how to defeat them. Spraying it doesn't seem to make progress.

@Eel There was an objective? haha I couldn't figure out what they wanted, so I wandered around, got 10 blue coins, and went to petey piranha.

@WoomyNNYes did you not notice the giant goopy piranha monster? You need walk around it to get to Petey if you plan to do the skip.

The starting cinematic of every level focuses on the objective.

Apparently, as I said, I missed the whole secret area, which supposedly has 15 in it, @Losermagnet .... Saw a few others I couldn't figure out how to reach, so that's the other 5
I doubt I'll get 100% in any of these games but I'll see how many I can get, without looking up guides until afterwards

@BruceCM Gotcha, I'll refrain from spoiling anything then. Well done!

@Apportal I kinda lost track, lol. I pretty much knew the game inside out, so that's why it took me a couple days to get every star.

Ta, @Losermagnet .... I'm not going to bother going back to M64 to find the rest or anything, so spoil that one all you like
So far, Sunshine is pretty good at directing me & I've stumbled through a couple of what might be secret areas

I don't understand why sites like howlongtobeat.com say that Galaxy is just as long as Sunshine. I've nearly finished Galaxy already. Well the first 60 stars anyway. Sunshine is so much longer.

Not sure why but Amazon refunded me 10 bucks for this game? Anyone else get 10 bucks back?

I also got refunded 10 dollars from Amazon

@renaryuugufan92 i just checked and I did as well

I’m getting ready annoyed with the camera in Sunshine, the FLUDDless levels and close quarters sections really don’t gel. In don’t why they just didn’t have a fixed camera in those parts or designed the areas to accommodate it.

I sort of accidentally noticed that shop4nl has physical copies available for the Netherlands. I caved and ordered one at 72 euros incl. shipping. I was going to buy it digitally anyway, but this way I have something nice for the shelf and to lend to a friend if the occasion presents itself. Looking forward to playing!

Same here. It's probably just because the price dropped at some point before it shipped, and they have a price matching thing for pre-orders.

Anyhow, Today in 64 I finished off the last 2 missions in Cool, Cool Mountain (getting the snowman's body, and the wall kick tutorial challenge), went back to Bob-Omb Battlefield to do it's Wing Cap mission & get it's 100 coin Star, and then did the first two missions in Jolly Roger Bay (the treasure in the sunken ship, and getting the Star the eel has).

A bit of trial & error for some of them (such as the wall kick thing), but nothing too bad for the most part other than that darned eel (I died so much there, and there were many times I swear I touched the Star, but it registered it as an eel touch).

It's definitely aged, but there's just something about it that makes me want to come back for more though.

Anyone else having a hard time trying to talk to NPCs? Friggin' impossible unless standing at the exact spot which Is usually not what you'd expect. It's awful in Sunshine and 64, but Galaxy seems to work OK. Still tough at times tho.

I don't want to use a walkthrough for Sunshine, but it's extremely tempting. Especially doing the 3rd level of Sirena Beach, which I never beat when I played it years ago. I got it now, but only by sheer luck and accidentally jumping at the right place.

I got $10 back from Amazon too, I just checked.

Enjoying my time with SMS. Been a while since I played it so it feels good to go back to it.

I sure hope they give some sort of refund here too. Judging from the Mexican side of Twitter, I wasn't the only one they disappointed with this preorder.

@MarioLover92 I'm playing them all at the same time, yes I have a lot of free time.

@Northwind I tried that in real life too. I got the “angery” part down, talking to them afterwards was the tricky part.

So I just got to the stingray boss sight and beat it on my first try I heard it was a hard boss fight but I thought it was easy I can see why players would think its hard, but what you guys think is it just me?and no spoilers I haven't beat the game.
