i need help beating bowser. i am at the stage where i am about to save princess peach, adn bowser rolls around like a rock and then jumps up and down, but i can't figure out what to do. can anyone help please.

 

[jollyguy23]

when he rolls around like a rock he shows his face out. You have have to spin in to his face. Any other part and you loose a life.

60 stars so far and have opened the bowser final stage

 

[bobo990]

thanks for the tip jollyguy, that's going to take some pretty good timing.

Can you explain in detail to me how to do the super, super long jumps? I can do the regular long jumps, but can't do the type I see peope doing on the videos in youtube. I can't get through the purple coins in toytime. It's my last star. I can't release Luigi until I can win this one and it's so disappointing. I've tried it over 100 times. Thanks so much.

 

[bobo990]

those purple coins were a pain in the butt it took me forever but i got past it. it's been awhile since i played it. but there are 2 long jumps you can do. one is the triple jump 3 jumps in a row and he jumps long not needed on this board though. on this one all you do is run and hold down the jump button a second and as he squats let go and he jumps long. on that board it takes a long time to find a pattern and just be quick.

 

[dschill]

this game takes a long time to beat... how do i get to collecting all the stars. Like how long did it take you guys?

 

[bobo990]

i was wrong on the long jump, it's been a while since i played it, i think it's when you run hold down b for a sec then push a to jump.
i collected all the stars and i don't know how many hours, but it's along time many many hours to get them all.

Help me find the 120th star...

I finally made it through 119 stars - and yet the indicator at the start says I have 01 remaining. I've already played the Bowser's Galaxy Reactor after 60 (and it's one of my 119 stars according to the map). The map also says a new galaxy has appeared - but I have no idea how to get to it. Does anyone know what that final galaxy is, and how to get that last star?

Can anyone help me???

 

[kkirby]

Go to the map and check the list rather than the actual map. Go down the list and you should find one without a star. That should get you pointed in the right direction. It's probably one of the "hidden" galaxies.

 

[jollyguy23]

Better way to check it is go to the map and each level that you have complettely finished will have a crown on top of it. The one that does not have is the one were you find your lone star. Hope this helps.

I got this game when it was released and plaed on and off and completed 120 stars last saturday after 3 months of not playing. Now have 62 as luigi . I love this game.
