It's harder if you use the speedrun strats the first time

and by "the speedrun strats" I mean literally air jumping repeatedly as Mario to stay up top while they run around and then ground pounding the side Broodals for the one-shot

Seriously, go look at a speedrun, that fight specifically is clearly not being done even remotely as intended and it's gorgeous

I saw a speedrun of that fight. I did not know you could do that. :catstare:

The 19 inches tall Super Mario antagonist Bowser statue is fully painted, assembled, and a whopping $700. You read that right – seven hundred United States dollary-doos. Featured above, you can view an introductory video with First4Figures staff as they fully unveil the statue.

Size isn’t everything with this statue, however, as the magnetized tongue can be swapped out for a fireball that even lights up with it’s built-in LEDs.
...I'm shamefully intrigued by the built-in LED fireball.

I didn't even realise you could climb the legs while they were still armoured. That's really cool. What other stuff have I missed with the bosses?

Off the top of my head, you might have missed being able to hit all four Broodals at weird times (I'm horrible with their names):
-lanky dude you can just jump on while his hats are out without hitting them to turn them into spinny jump things
-Spewart? you can hit while he's spitting poison in a circle
-Topper? you can knock out of invulnerability by hitting the correct hat he's hiding under a couple times
-Harriet? you can both knock out of invulnerability by hitting a dropped bomb back at her, and also knock the early bombs back at her before she does the big ones on her hair to deal actual damage

plus you don't have to turn back into Mario to hurt the Seaside boss, just spit water at the vulnerable point on his head

I figured out most of those except Rango's though it's kind of obvious now that I think about it (I couldn't reliably pull Topper's off though). You can also jump on him as he's hopping around in his spiked hat to end his invulnerable phase as well. Spewart's the easiest by far but I feel like there's probably a way to end his invulnerability phase as well, maybe just by jumping on his hat?

And he's first. And if you want to take your time, you can just hit each hat into the wall as your knock them off his head in the 2nd and 3rd phases so that you don't have to deal with pinball while dodging his spin. Likewise you can pretty much stay in one corner and just jump to max height over and over again during the forced pinball phase and his hat will reveal himself automatically after a time.

Even better - just wait until he does his spin attack. You can jump on his back during it no matter how many hats he has on.

I'm a big fan of the broodal fights in this game, each of them has a couple tricks you can figure out instead of it just being a fixed "dodge until the obvious opening" thing.

They're really good. Figuring those fights out made the gauntlet a fun time even though I kept dying.

I don't know how you're supposed to figure out the "found with wooded kingdom art" moon on your own. Like, the picture shows a koopa troopa, four up arrows, and then two bushes side by side. There's groups of bushes all around that turtle, so naturally one of those should be right, right?

These bushes are almost completely at the opposite end of the map of the turtle. They aren't anywhere NEAR the drat turtle!

These two I thought were the correct ways to actually do the fights until just now. Next time I'll have to try them the "proper" way.

Play time is somewhere above 25 hours, and I just beat the final level. It was much easier than Champion’s Road, but it still gave me some difficulty.

Not sure if I will ever get to 100%/999 moons, but I will keep coming back to this game for a long time.

And now thanks to the volleyball protip I have all the moons! Very clever of them to (880 moon spoiler) have you fight Bowser again so the game ends on a good note as opposed to ending right after you complete one of the inevitably lovely challenges you'll have left

Hold down the screenshot button for a second or two and it records the last 30 seconds of gameplay.
