This is why ridiculously difficult levels like this are so great. The journey to completing them is an experience in itself, with points where you might doubt yourself or have a eureka moment where a part of the level suddenly clicks for you. But once you finally manage to beat the level it feels so good.
Personally I don't think 3D World is on the level of the Galaxies, but it's definitely a huge step up from 3D Land and of course the NSMB games. However, I do feel it's better than SM64, though I don't think a lot of people would agree with that.
Thanks, guys! I am probably making a doctor's appointment for next week.
I immediately took my blood pressure and sugar level, everything was within normal parameters.
I still have no idea what could have caused it, but I was exaggeratedly excited because I cleared the dash panels area.

I just read about it. It seems likely.
Year of Luigi. I think they hid these in NSLU too.

Heh, just discovered the additional world you gain access to after completing the game.
I'm liking these bonus levels much more than those in the main story.

I have this horrible vision in my head of you clearing the dash panels, passing out, then waking only to find the timer had dropped to zero before you'd actually got to the flag

Oh good lord the comments. Some people can't handle a non-grimdark GOTY, I guess.

Just started playing it. The first world was underwhelming. I guess it's supposed to ease you in. Only played a couple levels in the second world and the design is much more inventive. Specifically the second level. I hope it starts to really pick up soon. I shouldn't compare it to Galaxy but that game hit you in face immediately on how great it was. Maybe my expectations is too high but the amount of praise this game is getting I'm expecting a little more.
you haven't even scratch the surface of it
btw, I'm having an hard time in finding the stars needed to beat the mushroom workd (240 if I remember correctly...) >_<

Don't worry, it will really pick up soon and never let you go. The end game is something else, wow.
I remember some of those being pretty tricky.
Thanks for the tips Alistair! I'm really dreading doing this level on our no powerup run.... (and no enemy run....)
D: champion's road is killing me ahrlakjkl it pissed me off so much that i did the infinite 1up trick just to prepare for it, ..i go the 2nd star and now ..I'm fucking stuck .help me gaf D: it's soo hard to jump on these fuckers
what do I DO??!?! i
Keep the jump button pressed while aiming the joystick in the direction you want to go. That's honestly the easiest part of Champion's Road.

Does this play well off-screen?
In single-player, definitely. As things zoom out in multiplayer and in Captain Toad levels it helps to have a bigger screen, though.
this one is the easiest part off the level
just hold the jump button and keep bouncing on them
the red and blue blocks are the hardest for me and now i am stuck at the dashing section!
I'm on either 4 or 5 I forget, but I still feel pretty underwhelmed. Kinda almost regretting buying it but some say It still gets better.
How many worlds are there though? Aren't there traditionally 8 worlds in a Mario game?

Cool, thank you. I'll probably pick this up in the next few days.

So, I played a lot of this game in multiplayer over Christmas week with a few different groups. Most everyone had a lot of fun with it, but I'm thinking about how a couple of my companions just could not come to grips with the 3D and depth, even after I insisted that they pay attention to shadows to discern position more easily when possible. It's left me a little confused because I'm the one of the group who actually has impaired depth perception. I can't see the 3DS stereoscopic 3D and have sort of had to flub my way through stereoblindness tests in the past. This isn't the case for them, yet I've had little to no issue following 3D World while they've struggled at times, and I can't help but wonder why. I know there are a handful of Gaffers who have shared similar experiences.
Maybe it's a case where I'm wearing metaphorical weighted training clothes in real life 24/7 and notice no difference when I sit down to play video games, whereas they're confronted with a sudden handicap when playing that I don't notice because it's always on? It's just something I find kind of interesting.

What's the best place to stock up on lives?

Done with my first 'sitting' of champion road. Think I lost about 150 lives, but I made it to the part with the speed boards. I definitely made progress, beating it no longer seems impossible.
The mystery house seems way more annoying to redo every time. I was sick of that after a couple of tries.

I would have bursts of success with Mystery House. Get to 10 Stars and then fuck up. Then bang my head against that for a while. Then get to 15 Stars. Then 23. All with repeated awful failures for extended periods of time, of course. But that last successful run through those final several levels felt glorious.
Well, looks like I'll be staying at 377 stars. Tried too many times to count on
and I can't do it any more. Especially since I can just about get to the beat blocks with my eyes closed so it is incredibly tedious to have to do that bit every time I (inevitably) fail later on. Pity. Still my GOTY, though

How do you do an aerial somersault?
For the love of me can't find it.

If you care about unlocking every last stamp, you have to beat every level as every character, so you can save yourself a little time by being methodical about it. You could do your first run through every stage with one particular character, then use another one if you have to double-back for more stars, etc. The game doesn't let you check and see which characters have beaten which levels until you unlock the final stage, even though it keeps track of this information from the very start.
If you have extra controllers, you can also cheat around this requirement by having other characters join in at the flagpole. The characters have to actually touch the pole in order for it to count, though.

My Wii U pad is add at syncing. I live in a thin-walled home where my bedroom is maybe 10-15 feet away from the system. What gives?

Thanks. I got my first game over during the first bonus world and it's been ugly ever since
I accidentally did what you described a couple of times and I still got one shiny star on my profile.
Thanks.
Your glitter is only lost when you actually touch the power up, not when you hit the block. If for some reason you do touch the power up, I'm pretty sure you can fix it by replaying the level normally.
I don't want to, but so much time spent and it still isn't done. I have 127 games in my backlog to get to!
