Watched Psycho nab his first star piece. Kept wanting to yell tips at him.
Psycho - you can timed hit Mallow's lightning man!

Haha. Hit that Y button!

[Shadow Kisuragi]

Also, another "pro" tip...
There's no point to using a Turbo controller for the spam button commands. There's a buffer for the commands, as well as a max limit to the number.

Good to know. I never had an SNES turbo controller until I picked up the Pro Player.

[russlyman]

i never know when to hit the button for the lighting timed attack. Just found Link in the game, and got my second star piece, just doing some grinding now and leveling up some and getting coins.

[Shadow Kisuragi]

Timing's different for every attack. For Mallow's Lightning, hit it at the end of the attack (I believe? It's been a while).

I got my first star, now I'm traipsing around in the sewers

Same here as of last night. The game froze once and then I was too tired to continue so I probably only logged about fifteen actual gameplay minutes.

Looking forward to a more productive and longer sit-down with the game tonight.

Welcome to the hell that is the Attack Scarf.

 For quick practice, try using Super Jump on a Spiny without the Jump Shoes. You can't damage them by jumping on them.

Many apologies, been so backed up lately and haven't got around to playing this yet. I'll have a good run on this game come Friday. Can't wait

Don't worry. You're not too far behind. You can earn your first star in about an hour and half. If you need any advice shoot me a PM or ask here... Shadow seems to know a fair bit about the game.

The cameos are not that easy to find in the game and actually can only be seen at a certain time. As a result, I will have to start over to fulfill this achievement.....sucks .  However, since I am almost done with the game, I think I might start over and adhere to the weekly schedule for purposes of discussion.  (might not be bad to list them for purposes of the achievement. I know there is

 Samus, Link, and I've also come across a collection of F-Zero vehicles in the game)

Sorry to get so far ahead, I'm really surprised about the time I've had lately with my two young kids and side business. Picking up another pinball machine for a client this weekend, so I'll have tuning that machine up to keep me busy for a few weeks at least.

Completed achievements 13 & 16.....

[singlebanana]

Also, achievement #6 - Earn 10+ flowers on Booster Hill is pretty much a one time deal from what I have seen and pretty difficult. I know that you can come back to Booster Hill to collect

later. Should this achievement be modified to include both options?

[Shadow Kisuragi]

The flowers was mainly motivation for people to try harder at that particular mini-game, and it's free FP! I admit that 10 is a bit high - should we modify that to 8? I wouldn't mind changing it to include both mini-games though.
