Just did the boss rush thing in the second - last post game world. I like that even though this mainly exists for a boss rush there's still secret moons everywhere

So it wasn't until AFTER I tried this 20 times that I realized you're just supposed to possess a fireball and swim back there and get it. Oops.

This brings up one thing I'm not liking, that you can suicide to get moons purple coins etc, it's annoying when I'll do a tricky jump to grab coins and whiff the landing and the game just lets me keep them, I don't really feel like I earned it

Speedruns do this on purpose to get a moon + save time on teleporting from the map menu

In any other 3D Mario game, getting a star would kick you out of the level so grabbing one mid-air over certain death was never really an issue. And I'm 90% sure that in all the 2D variations when you collect a dino/giant coin, even if you die before a checkpoint the coin stays collected.

Ive seen at least one moon that went back after activating it but falling off before collecting it

they do that a fair amount with the key based moons, because the key is usually in a tricky platforming spot and you need to survive the return journey to collect the moon.

The Zelda alone would cause too many joy overdoses, let alone the Mario and the two Metroid games that would come out in that time

NASA: Holy poo poo it's a transmission. The nation is standing by for this momentous occasion as researchers are hard at work deciphering what they've communicated to us.
*2 days pass*
NASA: The aliens seem to have completed what's known as a "120 star speedrun" in a mere 1h35m - we're still looking for signs of segmentation, but if this is real it...changes everything

I️ mean they also released a Metroid game that has modes locked behind an amiibo and you need to pay extra to unlock difficulty options in Zelda. And there's also fire emblem games which wind up with dlc that costs more than the base game for like 1/4th the stuff. It's just not as bad bc the games they make are actually good instead of being vehicles for monetization

Isnt the Metroid unlock with Amiibo just one difficulty mode and some aesthetic stuff?

playing fire emblem is like going to hell but instead of giving a coin to charon you have to show a preorder for semi erotic dlc

smw didn't save the dragon coins until you collected ALL for the stage (at which point you were free to die). Then even in New super mario bros if you die after grabbing a star coin and before the midpoint, you have to collect it again
