How do you guys manage to get so many lives?

Well my first way was to replay World 1-1 and 1-2 a decent amount of times. Pretty much guaranteed no less than 5 lives if you do the level right on 1-1 and there is a trick on 1-2 to also get lives pretty quick, check out the movie in the castle called Infinite 1-ups for the "pattern" on 1-2. Not sure why they named it that as it is not infinite but you do get at least 4-5 I think in the course of 10-15 seconds.

So basically I am a freak and like to make sure I have a lot of lives, but with that said I also have a bunch just from going through and getting all of the coins, discovering places, etc. I would say half of the ones I have are from going back to 1-1 and 1-2 and the other half come from just playing the game.

i learned the hard way about quicksave. I did a quicksave when i had done everything and just started World 9 (after getting all the star coins for the other worlds) and did a quick save them my wife started playing and Bam gone. Back to finishing up the levels for the star coins.

Man, I wish I had time to play it all through....I'm excited about World 9! :)

One easy way to gather lives is in world 6, IIRC. A bit into the map you have to pass these cannons shooting Bullet Bills. Bump into one of them as you walk between points on the map, and you'll enter the mini-game to free the Toad in a chest.

The "secret" is to let the screen fill with as many Bullet Bills as possible before touching the last thing which makes the chest appear. If you have enough BBs on-screen, they will all "pop", and you will get increasing scores for each kill. With enough BBs being killed at once, you'll get a few additional extra lives.

Just like when you have the invincibility star and bump into a lot of enemies. You will get more and more points, up to a point where you start getting extra lives instead.

You just described my daughter and me playing LittleBigPlanet.

:laugh: Must be a women thing. Actually totally makes sense, just get things done and out of the way the easiest way possible, while as men we need to know every single option available to us before we make a decision.

All I will say to this is you have never played with my wife. I tend to be the exploring get all the coins type, while she just likes to plow on and get through the level. And she has played all of the games in the series before, in fact the N64 we have is hers actually. In my solo game I have 41 lives. In our CoOp game I think we both have 8. Both games are only on World 2.

So yeah, way easier said than done. :laugh:

Well if you refuse teamwork/communication, then pick her up and just go thru the level....

I may come around to the teamwork idea at some point, but since we're so used to kicking ass solo it's just taking some time to get used to dealing with each other.

Of course it takes time but once that time is spent, it is worth it :)

:unsure: Getting lives in Mario games is simply too easy. It is just a natural thing. I was up to 93 in World 7. Some friend of a friend played and put me down to 77 :( I want hatless Mario!!! :p

Bah you aint missing much...

Love the game. I think it would have been cool if they included the mega mushroom from the DS game and the Yoshi's abilities from Super Mario World.

I thought the same thing, was very surprised to not see the Mega Mushroom.

^ Yeah

Another thing is that this game would have been great to play with classic controller.

you cant? I swore I saw on the back of the box that you were able to... I cant be certain til I get home and check..

upon checking.. it doesnt support it... that is strange that they didnt allow for that..

Just found this on google.. Controller cover

I love this game but I can't fathom why they decided it'd be a good idea to make all players pause and their input ignored every time somebody got a power up, hit, or died. I've died some many times from this. I'd be pressing the jump button but at the same time the pause would occur which means my button press was ignored and I end up falling off a ledge.

Bah! that's not a classic style controller.... this is a classic controller :) I still have two of these lying around, they really should make an adapter

Really? What abilities did Yoshi have in SMW that he doesn't have now? :)

There were 4 Yoshies. Green, Red, Yellow and Blue.

Red when eat a koopa shell he can breathe fire. Yellow can stomp the ground and Blue can fly.

    • >defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool It is not. It is the inhuman artist replacement. The human writing the prompt is the employer/manager requesting the work product of the artist -- a supervisory/descriptive job that doesn't carry with it any rights to the copyright of that work product at all. And since AI is not human itself, it can't gain copyright for anything it is asked to regurgitate or hallucinate, so it can't transfer that copyright to the employer/manager/human who asked for the output. This was all legally reaffirmed last year. So, no, while there are AI tools, AI slopware generation is NOT a "tool" in the legal definition of that word.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine
    • Calling GTA 6 overhyped crap doesn’t make you edgy, it just makes you sound like someone who hasn’t enjoyed anything since the PS2 era.
    • I’m not arguing whether Rockstar likes money. Obviously, they do, they’re a business. I’m saying this isn’t new. They’ve always launched console first. This is just how Rockstar operates.
