in galaxy 2 they sprinkle green stars in inconvienient or hidden places throughout the map. It's probably worth it in G2 compared to G1 since grandmaster galaxy is cool and some of the new stars are actually interesting to get.

Ohhhh, ok. When I replayed Galaxy last year I was expecting to encounter the hidden stars thing and was disappointed that it was just "beat the game, again". I must've been thinking of the Galaxy 2 thing, it sounds pretty cool.

whats funny is that whenever a stage features a cloud flower you can guarantee that one of the green stars will be way out in the middle of goddamn nowhere and you have to long jump off of all three clouds to get there.

I beat that level one time but I did not remember to grab the green star and I was unwilling to play the level again to unlock the true final level that's just grandmaster again but on one life and no checkpoints.

there are more changes than that, i dont remember them all anymore but the level design is altered to be even harder for the last star

also being forced to hold onto the cloud power up for most of the level changes how you have to approach everything because now your jumps are really floaty

i beat the one in 3d world but i still cant beat grandmaster galaxy. i come back to it every so often, and i can never complete it. i have everything up to the last section with the boomerang bros on lock but it just all falls apart there

You can crawl underneath their boomerangs and still spin while crawlimg, so you only have to worry about timing jumps

I bombed a tunnel down to the lava, 5 squares wide, but I didn't realise the door to escape was at the top of it, so Olmec kept hitting the invincible escape platform thing. So I had to lure him to the side, and he stomped a stray block, and rubble flew out and hit me and knocked me into the tunnel to lava which I had made for no reason.

I think I've done this but I sold my copy of Galaxy 2 and it might have only had 241 stars. I do remember going through an electric maze with the cloud suit on 1 hit, is that the last star?

I think I've gotten to the final dungeon in like 3 final fantasies but never beat a single one.

also did that in smt soul hackers. i think it was 2 linked skyscrapers and there was this puzzle you had to solve that required a lot of backtracking. the encounter rate was so high i got annoyed and stopped playing.

Nearly every RPG I play ends with me stopping in the final 10 percent or whatever. I am working on persona 4 right now and I will beat it I think though.

I got to the final boss on FF4 on my SUper Nintendo and couldn't beat him. I feel pretty lovely about it. I just don't really feel like grinding, and I don't think I have the best weapons or summons or anything

It's ok since the final 10 percent is by far the worst part of most RPG's.

Vs. Super Mario Bros. replaces a bunch of levels with Lost Levels equivalents and makes the regular SMB1 levels harder. But I will defeat it, on the arcade hardware with the broken A button and weird joystick.

Mega Man Legends.

I accidentally stumbled into the final bossroom with only my stupid vacuum arm. Upon finding out the final boss had a more ultimate second form it was time to return the rental anyway.

Megaman Legends 2 also got me; but I wasn't as close.
