I got this as well, for those who don't know.

Title says it all, now discuss how much I suck. Wait, that's not nice.

I've gotten 30 something stars, in 3 days. That's 10 stars average!

[NintenDan]

And I personally think this game is tops within the 3 Mario 3-D platformers, good music, great gameplay, good graphics (doesn't play a major role) a story that goes a little differently than the first two, and overall fun! I love it!

[cheat-master30]

40+ stars in about one day for me. But hey, you're doing decently.

[NintenDan]

Geez, cheat, play it for like, the whole day or something? But then again, I do take a bit of time, and I would've played it longer if it weren't for midday shows that are on that family members HAVE to watch. But I beat Bowser today, saw the credits, good fun, now just got to get another 60 or so stars. And then I get Luigi! So in total, there's around 240 stars, right? With both M and L collecting them. And then an added 1 for the final galaxy. That's what I read on the internet. Oh, and I thought Mario would have 8 health bars, but now he's got 3?! What the, that's no Mario game! Eh, makes it harder I guess. For some... not me! Or you, obviously! MWAHAHAHA!!

HORFFF!

[cheat-master30]

There are 242 stars overall, you forgot about the Grand Finale Galaxy. Never the less though, be prepared for a lot of frustration from the more difficult levels such as those in the Garden dome. As for three health... you do realise that's what nearly every 2D Mario to date after a certain time has had?

[NintenDan]

Not the 3-D ones, they all had 8 health. But I guess, I can cope with it. The Daredevil runs are surpisingly easy, it's the Purple coins that are just plain boring. I can't build up the will power to do them, but I will eventually.

[cheat-master30]

That tells me Luigi's Purple Coins will be your greatest nightmare...

[Symerwizkid22]

I have 29 stars in 2 weeks. :p

[cheat-master30]

I never thought people were taking it this slowly...

[NintenDan]

You mean in Toy Time for the Luigi's Purple Coins? Slightly drove me crazy. Not as annoying as others for me. Mostly the timed ones, they got me. And Luigi's Purple Coins is timed, so it got me a bit too.
