I need a post game moon hint as well

What's with all the "Sphynx in [location]" moons? They all appear over the binoculars according to Toad's hints but I tried looking for him through the binoculars with no luck. I believe I've done all the quizzes but I could be wrong

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 need to stress that collectables that are off camera will not be collected even if you're standing where they are. I know where that 1 wooded kingdom purple coin is because it suffers from that. There's a line of them that you have to crouch under a girder to get to and the last one is squeezed against a wall. If the camera pans you can stand where the coin is and not collect it even though you should of. It's very silly.

Just have power moons in Dark and Darker Side left. I also gotta grind up coins to get the rest of the outfits.

Getting all of the purple coins took a long rear end time.

Taking Notes makes me so amazingly loving mad, especially when I have to follow a very narrow path of notes. Mario has a habit of completely veering off in a different direction if I so much as slightly move the thumbstick. :negative:

That jaxi poo poo and the awful bullet bill room that's impossible to get through because of the camera (seriously was that playtested) were the only two moments I actively hated this game

Assuming this is talking about the bullet bill maze,

1. You can just skip that room by walking on the walls

2. I did that poo poo first try anyway with no trouble so clearly someone playtested it

I really wish the boss fights would save checkpoints between phases, the squid is beginning to annoy me with its penchant for staying still when I need it to move, but then moving when I need it to stay still.

e: seriously, is there no way to lock the camera to a behind-you mode?

I had a lot of trouble with him when I first fought him but found him super easy when I fought him again later on. You don't necessarily need to get on top of him. You can get close, flip around and shoot him as you fly away from him. You also don't ever need to ground pound him which I kept doing as well.

Oh jesus christ, the barely-together guide I was reading advocating ground-pounding, which was double annoying because I'm only about 50% on "which button is the one that resets the camera and which one is the one that does Other Things" at any opportunity.

Of course, I find this out after I wind up beating it.

I am very particular about biscuits, I'll have you know.
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.

Everything changes, Pit.
Even gods.

There's so many Moons in the game that I feel like I can keep coming back to it every couple months, or years, and still find new things and be surprised.

It's really great that way.

tbh I think the game recognizes that with significant unlocks capping before 100% and letting you inflate your count. I don't think the comparison is quite 1:1, but there's intentional room to see even all the postgame levels while letting you miss or pass over some moons.

Yeah, it's kinda hard because (slightly more specific tip) he's actually flying around in the distance so he's kinda small, and he flies around everywhere so you kinda have to just spot him.

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

Can someone tell me where the Sand Kingdom art for Koopa Trace Walking is? It seems obvious, poiting to the bushes near the koopa, but I've tried groundpounding everywhere around it and not found it.

It's not near him at all. Follow the compass in the hint and look for the two bushes.

What's the best way to travel long distances with the squid dudes? I keep running out of water so I suspect it's not constantly using the "go forward" button but it's also not spamming taps.

So when exactly do the NPCs from each of the worlds show up in different places? I've seen a bunch of videos of various NPCs like the New Donk City folk and the Skeletons from the Sand Kingdom hanging out in the Mushroom Kingdom.

Dear diary, I got another erection today at work. SO embarrassing, but kinda hot. The CO asked me to fix up his dress uniform. I had stayed late at work to move his badges 1/8" to the left and pointed it out this morning. 1SG spanked me while the CO watched, once they caught it. Tomorrow I get to start all over again...

I meant for like, the down-a-pipe challenge bits where half the game is not running out of water :shobon:

Also there's a torch on top of the "chefs only" building in Luncheon. How do I get a Podoboo there? I tried jumping down from the summit and successfully landed in the little pool of lava behind the building but I can't get it up it from there.

You can't get a lava bubble there. Think of another way to light the fire.

Wooded Kingdom along the wall overlooking the Deep Woods, right? Rolling is the easier way to do it, because then you just have to tilt left and right gently.
