The thing that trips you up is you try to get every coin so you double back on these really tight paths with no room for error and you get trapped and die because of the disappearing floor. But there's way more coins than you need so once you realize that you can take safer routes and do it just fine. It's still tricky but not brutal.

Since I messed around in each kingdom until I was satisfied and almost got every purple coin on the first run, post game now im going through in order and using talkatoo until the first batch of moons is complete and then adding the new ones and finding them with the map which is using all in game mechanics and not the cheat toad so it feels pretty fair.

I just finished with this. Finally, with all the normal moons in tow, it's time to destroy the moon rocks.

so, the new content announced for odyssey sounds like you can setup little custom speedruns for your friends to tackle? i wonder how deep the customization goes, like if you can pick a few starting points per level etc.

it sounds like a lot of fun, i thought this game needed some more little social things like that

It looked like one starting point per level but there may be more. It looks rad and I'll be making some balloon routes once it comes out

ooooo this is the first moon i've seen to require execution of a previously thought-out plan. Luring the bullet successfully around the wall outcropping, ensuring you capture it before it despawns, and finally timing things just right to reach the very farthest pillar as it explodes. With most other moons you can simply cheese up the wall and grab it, but this one was shielded by a stone that as far as I can tell is only vulnerable to bullets in this stage.

On another note I'm still missing three freaking dorito coins in this kingdom and I need them for my cowboy outfit for the lake kingdom!!

this was actually a bit of a head scratcher, i wish there were way more moons like that lol

That one took me forever because I'm retarded and forgot about the motion control boost that it tells you about right on the screen. So I thought getting a bullet bill there was impossible

In Training
Jun 28, 2008

I also figured it out immediately but thought there must be another way because of how tight the timing seemed. That's a good one

It's a normal moon but there's one in the soda fizz kingdom that I thought was brutal and required a bunch of tight wall kicks + hat bounce stuff that was really satisfying to pull off, and then I found the jet pack captures and realized what I had done.

Yeah I definitely remember parkouring up one of those vertical shafts in the cliff face only to eventually learn the use of the squid dudes.

Pretty sure I posted this before but it's one of my favorite instances of this in the game. I 100% knew there was another, "correct" way, to get this moon but I couldn't for the life of my figure it out and I was having fun trying to get it the alternative way. It wasn't until almost immediately after I got the moon that I remembered you can capture the fireballs.

The balloon mode looks like koopa run, but multiplayer. I am extremely extremely excited for it, koopa run was my favorite thing in the game and I loved smashing all my friends' records on it

Yeah I was also a little bummed by the lack of boos. It would have been a fun capture.

I totally meant ghosts in the mario kart sense but boos for possession (ironically enough) would have been ridiculously cool. I imagine you'd be able to clip through certain walls or something like the vanish cap in 64

Luigi's Balloon mode is out and I have just hidden balloons all over the world.



Pop them if you can, Imps.

Oh I'll have to boot that up tonight. How does it work exactly? Since you're on my friends list will your balloons populate my levels once I turn on the mode?

Evil Eagle
Nov 5, 2009

I'm not sure if they pop up automatically, you may have to type in the code for each one. It would be nice if friend balloons did show up but I haven't tested that yet

Evil Eagle
Nov 5, 2009

Basically you find Luigi in each kingdom and he gives you the option to find or hide balloons. The find menu gives you a list of 15 different balloons along with a time limit and bet/potential winnings for each one. Picking Hide It just gives you a 30 second timer that you can extend by getting coins and you press left on the dpad once you've found a good hiding place to set your own balloon down.

You get coins as people attempt to pop your balloon and once it gets popped by someone you have to hide a new one. It's really fun and I've already gotten enough coins from it to buy all the new outfits (Knight Mario FTW). Some of my balloons got popped so here's a new set.

If someone is on your friend list and they currently have a hidden balloon somewhere in the kingdom they should automatically show up somewhere in the list of available balloons, which is nice to avoid the code issue.

Also lol at the people who spent 8 hours grinding the secret area in Bowser's Kingdom to get enough coins for all the outfits and 999 moons. With the new mode it takes probably 45 minutes to get that much.
