I beat Iceburn Circuit Class S with a time of 1:54, two seconds slower than my best time. My best time was a second place finish, as were other runs with 1:54.

The difference between them was that I had a great third lap on my successful run. In the others I had good earlier laps but slipped a bit in the third lap. I suppose the game applies a slight rubber band so that even if you slip up early you still can win if you rally late.

Just to confirm, there is something, however so small, for getting 999 moons, right? Or is it just a :awesome: thing?

It's both. There's something at 880 and something at 999.

Do you get anything for killing the purple ufo guy way at the beginning? Because they seriously made goombas the most dangerous enemy in this game and if there’s nothing for beating that guy why even bother

You get a super heart and you honestly don’t need to worry about your heart situation til the second half (and barely then) so just grab the heart from the sphynx later. You also are just given extra health in the very final segment for free

If you do want to kill it, do it from the ledge behind it. Don't bother messing with the goombas at all.

Two questions.

1. in the top of the pyramid, there is an area that has moving pillars, with a secret room on the right. at the end there is a 2D area that has bullet bills shooting out. I have flown all over the area and have no idea how to finish it or get into the 2D painting. What am I missing here?

2. What is everyone talking about with triple jump? I can't even get him to double jump. I know there is the stomp on hat move which I suck at getting to work, but someone was saying something about how you just hit jump 3 times? What?

Find yourself a large area like New Donk and run forward in a straight line. Jump. Jump when you land. Jump when you land again.

That's a double jump and a triple jump. You can also do a double jump while standing in place.

Bongo Bill

Run forward. While continuing to move forward, jump, then press jump immediately upon landing in order to do a double jump. Then press jump again when you land from the double jump to do a triple jump.

You can't do a triple jump if you're not moving forward the whole time. That is, you can't do it from a stationary start, and you can't do it if you change direction during the double jump.

Oh ok I see. I was imagining the more traditional definition of a double jump i.e jumping at the peak of a jump for extra air.

I think the worst part of Darker Side is definitely the poodooboo section because man if you miss your running start by a millimeter you’re not making it to the second to last lava pool
But I’ll definitely feel like a badass once I actually beat it

The Podobo section is pretty easy, just hold the dash button.

Darker Side is entirely a process of learning/perfecting/surviving small sections, since there's a heart after every single part. A truly hard Darker Side wouldn't include any hearts at all.

I had more luck with that NOT pressing the dash button. Barely grazing the wall of the lava pit stops all your momentum, which seems like the issue with that section. I.E. treat it like Operation.

Guys what the gently caress. The triple jump is the thing where you jump three times as you run and you get higher as it goes on!!!! This has been a thing since MARIO 64!!!!!!! IT HAS BEEN IN LIKE EVERY MAJOR MARIO GAME SINCE, EVEN NEW SUPER MARIO BROS.

IS THIS ALL A BIG PRANK?? WHAT IS THIS

I liked how the game telegraphed the moon being a location you'll go to since it's visible on every major cutscene, is right there on the world map screen, and I'm fairly sure is also visible maybe in every level? Still, super cool when the option to travel there popped up on the screen

If I gave it a name I would not call it a triple jump going off of the video game status quo. Double jumping means something else in like, every single game ever made.

I think they were responding to the idea that triple jump goes against established video game naming when it's been around so long that it IS established video game naming
