Post-game question are the buyable moons truly infinite or do they cap out eventually?

They're like easy mode if you wanna get all the outfits but aren't good enough to get more moons. They're unlimited.

so it turns out there is a point to buying moons

If you max out the moon counter to 999 by buying moons, you get a secret ending where Peach's castle now has a top hat on it. If you climb to the top and throw Cappy onto the point of the hat, it plays a special animation.

That sounds fake as heck, also some Japanese guy has 12000 moons so I don't think it maxes out ever.

Your first idea was right. You have to find him flying around in the air by zooming in with the binoculars.

Thanks for this. I would have endlessly jumped from kingdom to kingdom trying to find one and hoping that by finding it it would move to another one (in the same vein as the tourist and cabbie). Now I can cross a couple 100% kingdoms off my list.

I beat this and I loved it and I have no urge to 100% and it kind of feels liberating.

For the same reason I didn't hunt seeds in Zelda, I think there are too many moons to make it worthwhile. I rather have had a hard mode where you have to collect 2x or 3x the moons to unlock the next area instead instead there's no goal for me.

One of my top 5 games for the year.

There's not even that many and they're nowhere near as tedious as korok seeds. You baby.

I'm stalled out at the Luncheon Kingdom, from frame one. My paths are a corncob to a Red-Hatted Goomba that vanishes when I approach and an immobile island with a podobo occasionally jumping up. The map shows paths that are not there. What am I not being taught to do in this zone?

The goomba is searching for love. Try another goomba. And the platform needs to be reached from above, not below.

Its really depressing me that the moon giving me the most trouble is 100 jump rope challenge.

Is there any trick to this? I can't even get past 50. The rhythm changing as you speed up gets me killed because Mario inevitably lands right on the rope.

It stops speeding up once it hits 50 so the trick is to make it to 50 and then hope you survive for 14 more seconds. Good luck goon.

After completing the moon, Cappy will make special note to mention and highlight the moon rock in each Kingdom once you return. Check your map.

wild speculation but the mushroom kingdom feels like a hub world that got hastily bumped to the postgame for flow reasons. grinding through all the achievement moons with Toadette feels utterly painful for everybody the first time, because you have at least 15 or 20 moons to acknowledge right off the bat. it would have made sense if you started there, or returned to the mushroom kingdom early on, but as it stands its kind of out of place.

It's the first thing on the map.

Darker Side: I'm at the section where you have to cross the lava on the fork jumps. Kind of bullshit that touching the lava once is pretty much a death sentence seeing as I went into that section with 6 hearts and still couldn't make it to land bouncing. How far through am i?

Probably 70% of the way done if you get through the forks.

My only problem with the motion controls is that some moons seem designed around getting that extra height or speed from captured enemies with the waggle, and I don't really feel like that extra boost should be a necessary factor for collectibles. The motion controls for advanced cap moves don't really bother me too much, half because most aren't actually all that useful and even the ones that are never feel necessary, and half that the last like 4 mario games have used the system's gimmicks and these honestly feel less bad than stuff like blowing into the gamepad's mic or using tilt controls for orb rolling.

There's like 4 moons out of 700 that absolutely require motion controls to get.

You can't, lava without nearby ground is functionally a pit.

You can definitely throw your hat on the forks to save you there. Although there are no I-frames to speak of, the lava still takes 1hp every time you touch it and isn't instakill like the purp poison.

The last moon I need to get is the 100 jump rope one and I'm pretty sure it's literally impossible and everyone claiming they got it is lying to me

I've been trying this thing for over a week and I still haven't gotten past 60. Mario just always lands on the rope or springs to high, or I just wind up getting way to focused and beef it.

I was having issues with it where it seemed literally impossible to tap the button fast enough to keep up with the pace but then someone in this thread said to try it in handheld mode to reduce all input lag and after like 3 tries I got it. Also don't look at Mario and time your jumps from him, just go with the sound or where the rope is and use that. If you watch Mario you'll keep waiting until he hits the ground before hitting jump again which makes you too slow to keep up.

I just hit the energy things and jumped like a madman tanking damage left and right and ended up with 1hp to deal with the rest of the section which was tense as hell because of DK and the whole "2D section that rotates and randomly causes your inputs to flip".

There's no actual acknowledgement of 100% except for tiny little dots around the globe on the Odyssey, so there's no reason to stress about getting every single moon if you don't wanna.

In my opinion it would have been better if there wasn�t a heart every 30 seconds. It would have made it truly challenging.

Just because you beat it on your first try doesn't mean it's not very hard. Your sample size makes you absolutely the incorrect person to determine how hard it actually is.

You missed one, it's near where it puts you back if you die to a boss

It's also hosed up how you can come back after each individual boss and refill, kinda defeats the purpose of a gauntlet, doesn't it?

I mean, you CAN do that, but it's extremely time consuming. I really like how this game balances challenge while also allowing people who aren't very good to see all the content if they wanna put in the time.

Man I guess I got lucky as I first tried all the bound races and lapped a racer on the second course at one point.

Also part of me kinda hopes they patch in a fix for the final level exploit.
Not grinding my teeth over people abusing it because they're NOT TRUE GAMERS or whatever, but it's kind of a bummer that you can skip a lot of the challenge like that.

That's the most tense and challenging part too. They're only robbing themselves of the experience.

Not counting the weird challenge ones (races, jump rope) that some people have issues with, it's probably the 2D well in Mushroom Kingdom.

I can�t do the 100 jump rope challenge I�ve tried everything youtube videos say to do but I can not get higher than 60

Have you tried playing in handheld mode? I felt like it was basically impossible for me to press the button fast enough to keep up with the speed on my TV, but once I switched to handheld I got it on like the 3rd try.

Also, make sure you're hitting the button on the sound cues and NOT looking at Mario's position to time your jumps. If you wait until Mario hits the ground to press jump again you'll always be late.
