That fly swatting game is impossible. Get to the last level no problem but then die. Must require me to break my gamepad to beat it. What the hell are you meant to do? Youtube.

The bombs take a second off you when they explode, so always swat them when you see them stop.
Killing the babby flies the boss spits out faster, brings it back on screen faster.
Kill the bees as soon as you see them, nobody wants to deal with a million babby flies in level 2.

Took me about an hour of focused playing it. With a break in the middle, for my health.

Seem to be stuck on 39 stars. Going have to take down levels now already to get the 50 stars.
Do you lose the stars off the levels you take down?

Right, I'm pretty sure I've played (and starred) every level in the levels thread. Now nobody go off and make another level until my thumbs recover.

You may have played them all but you haven't completed them all :-) ***cough*** carry the p's ***cough***

A Kamek hit a P-Switch I was about to jump on and turned it in to a mushroom and I died...naturally I rage quit.

Really enjoying this game. I love how Nintendo have mixed the Wario Ware/Rhythm Heaven sensibility into traditional 2D Mario to create a new taste sensation. Love all the silly and useless UI touches, like how the Mario placeholder starts sweating if you bring the eraser too close to it, or how the Undo dog growls if you press and hold on him. (I almost feel that I should be putting that stuff in spoiler tags, it's so much fun discovering it all.) (Er…should I be putting that stuff in spoiler tags?)

The manual is hands-down my favourite videogame manual ever. If ye haven't had a poke around it yet, I recommend having a look. There's lots of neat Easter Eggs, "Iwata Asks"-type behind-the-scenes mini-features, visual gags etc. The manual is where you enter those mysterious codes from the art book, too. At least some of the codes unlock video tutorials of sorts. The one I watched, I found surprisingly interesting. Someone earlier in this thread mentioned they could imagine themselves recording video of creating a level — I can definitely imagine myself watching such videos!

…Hey, thinking about it, why on earth is the icon for the undo function a dog in the first place?!?

It's a Mario Paint reference. The game is full of them.

Tried the first of Sligeach's evil bastard levels. If that's what the inside of your brain is like, no wonder you're so miserable on the Bargain thread all the time Are you suppose to triple-jump it or ricochet the shells off the pipes and hop on them? Either way I can't get to the third pipe and that's 40 minutes of swearing at the telly that the kids will spend thousands of therapy euros repairing, later in life. Damn you!

whoever made Leah's Lair, that was eye-wateringly busy but very entertaining, my daughters are big fans.

UI touches : I was messing with the Cave set and kept missing a jump, after my umpteenth failed attempt when Mario fell offscreen there was an extended Austin-Powers-esque shriek accompanied by the sound of Mario bumping off a load off off-screen rocks on his way to the bottom of some unseen chasm. Completely pointless but hilarious.

Leah's lair was made by my daughter Leah(she's 6) it's complete randomness that seemed to have worked well enough, only way anyone(I think) has finished it is by stealing a cloud:-)

Stealing a cloud after killing as many of those lunatics as possible and by using the star at the start.

Ha ha yes this is true!

Nintendo need to create a website like Media Molecule did for Little Big Planet. They had an online hub where you could cue up levels, leave comments and ratings. You could see any comments on your own levels and stats on who played them.

Ah fer f.... you can hold the jump button down? I've been trying to tap it at the exact moment of contact... I'm a chump. Is a triple jump off the first koopa necessary or am I over thinking it?

Don't get me wrong, it *is* an evil bastard level but that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy banging my head off a wall Between that an Iamtony's P-block level I had an unfulfilling blast last night. I honestly can't remember if I actually pulled off a shell-ricochet air-jump or just convinced myself it's possible with more skill than I possess, but I'm bloody well going to try again tonight

No need for a triple jump but build up a bit of speed before the first jump. I'll have to check out iamtony's level as well so.

I had a quick run through expert 100 Mario challenge and it feels like the levels have gotten significantly better in terms of level design compared to last week. Seems easier too, but that could be down to a week of paying Mario every day!

I'm currently on 44 stars. Only six more until I can upload more!

I can give you 4 stars on levels of yours I haven't played I'll do it not, I haven't got time to play them all through though!
