DisturbedSwan Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Struggling to get to the finish line on this. Think I’ve only got about 8 levels left of the last bonus world but I’m struggling for motivation now, especially as I just learnt to get all Stamps Spoiler You need to play through each level with every character ? fuck that! I’m still going for 100% stars and golden posts but yeah, for sure not getting all the stamps. Just feels like the end of Galaxy now instead of SM3DL where I adored and looked forward to getting everything in every level (I think I even replayed that game as a different character to open a bonus world). It’s a shame but it’s dropped in my estimations as it’s gone on, it’s partly my own fault I know but I just don’t see much innovation at the end, just remixed slightly harder levels aside from a few in World 8 that were cool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfnick Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 It’s worth persevering with for that final level if you’re already that close. The final Marathon level is good too. You will need all the stamps as well though, apart from those final 5 bullshit ones. Dont worry it lets you access that last world without them, thank God. Because like you said, fuck that!

DisturbedSwan Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Cheers @mfnick for that stamp info, so pleased I don’t need those final 5 to access the last world! I’ll persevere with it seeing as I’m so close to the end but may take a break before starting Bowser’s Fury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisturbedSwan Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Unlocked World Crown in SM3DW and that was me done with it, ended up enjoying the last two worlds but wasn’t enough to sway my feelings one way or other, it still feels like one of the safest, least innovative Mario titles I’ve played. Could one of the mods possibly add Bowser’s Fury to the thread title? TIA ? Started Bowser’s Fury a few days ago and had an absolute blast with it, just such a good time, finished it today and immediately wanted to dive back in and find some more cat shines, couldn’t get enough of it. It felt much more new, fresh and innovative than SM3DW to me almost immediately. That complete camera control was great, as was having this sizeable world ahead of you to explore with next to no hand holding whatsoever. The first time I saw Fury Bowser I was like WTF, it was just so cool seeing this huge Godzilla-like monster ahead of you, familiar as Bowser obviously but strangely different and otherworldly in appearance. The way he pops up in the world is also nicely done, it never feels like he outstays his welcome and just when you need him to pop up to unlock a hidden passageway or something the rain starts and he’s there in no time. It’s just such a cool dynamic, changing the world from typically cheery to dark and fiery. It kind of feels like an experiment, tasking the devs with creating a new, different experience whilst still using the SM3DW assets by and large. The world isn’t large by any means, and often feels like one of the bigger worlds from Odyssey - the way cat shines are in abundance throughout is also familiar - but Fury Bowser and how you gradually reveal more of the world is completely new and just so damn cool. So yeah, safe to say I absolutely loved it. Quite short at 3ish hours to finish but there’s tons more Cat Shines I’ve yet to find. Highly recommended.

shinymcshine Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 I'm having a hard time finishing the Great Tower of Bowser Land. I hate the levels with enforced scrolling, especially as they don't let you scroll the camera ahead to buy yourself slightly more time. I've been enjoying lots of the game, just find some levels feel like complete BS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmmark Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 I’ve always hated those kind of levels. They’re so infuriating. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I found those the toughest too and struggled with that World, there’s some pretty mad difficulty spikes at times.

DisturbedSwan Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Sorry for the double post, 100%d Bowser’s Fury earlier, couldn’t get enough of it, wished it lasted longer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spatular Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 finished this, main game and fury, and did quite a lot of stuff after the credits in both, but didn't do everything, i'm a bit rubbish at platformers. really enjoyed it overall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinymcshine Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Finally got up that flipping tower, unsurprisingly with an invincible super leaf, although it was predominantly falling off the scrolling screen that was killing me. Still, despite some credits rolling, I've got a few more Worlds to find, and stars & stamps to complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinymcshine Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Never expect it from a Nintendo game but had a game freeze 'crash' after completing World Star 5 Super Block Land - it just froze up on the red screen showing score & time - so I had to exit, close software, reload, and it didn't record level completion. Oh well - isn't the worst level to redo at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinymcshine Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 On a positive note, I really love some of the level designs and way certain characters can be used : The Great Goal Pole had me ranting in frustration when trying with Peach, to picking up all collectables with time to spare when I used Toad !

shinymcshine Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 I'm having a huge problem with World Star-9 Cosmic Cannon Cluster - I just can't figure out what I need to do to trigger the red switch "!" blocks to change the track, immediately after the midway point. I get a cannon head, and fire continuously at the "!" but rarely does it seem to trigger (even when clearly hit) - I've tried this dozens of times, and triggered it only twice, only then to fail at the later one where there's a gap in the track as I failed to hit the next one / just ran out of time. Online videos don't seem to be showing any real issues with it - but I'm reaching that real frustration where I can't now progress. Help !!!!!!!!! Update - found out online about holding down button to charge the bomb release - can't recall seeing any onscreen gamehint about that !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinymcshine Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 I think all the stars represent how many times I swear whilst playing this f***ing game. I've probably died more times in this than in all three of the Dark Souls games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spatular Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Think i know which one you mean, took me a while to work it out too, was pretty annoying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfnick Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 I had the same issue at the same point! Remember getting really annoyed at it. Think I figured it out accidentally. Need to know it for a couple of the green stars too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinymcshine Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 It was this bit - photo taken from internet - (pretty easy once you know about holding/charging the bomb): 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisturbedSwan Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Yeah, that level is a cunt. I also didn’t realise you could hold down the bottom to charge the bomb ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinymcshine Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 I've had fun collecting all the stamps in the worlds I've unlocked (so 9 (4+5) missing) but can't really find much enthusiasm to get all the stars to unlock the final world. Time to give Bowser's Fury a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
