Day 7
66 Stars, 26 Medals

Unto world 5, which is apparently the penultimate one - though that being said there are over 200 stars in this game so I'm nowhere near finished. The second boss fight against Bowser is quite similar to the first, which is to say kind of lame. I remember they were a weaker part of the first game too. Bowser apparently took some tips from Cloud on how to beat Mario, but he must have forgotten that Cloud had never won against him as of 2010, and the fact that he keeps using Meteorain turns out to be his downfall.

I did the comet version of Chompworks galaxy, which was pretty diabolical - it's a variant of a level where you need to stand still, but it adds those shadow clones that follow in your tracks and hurt you if you stand still too long. The first level in world 5, Space Storm galaxy, was the first time this game extensively used those blue stars that you move toward with the pointer, which were around a lot in Galaxy 1. The map here is also much more open-ended than previous worlds and you can play the levels in any order. I could even skip just about all of them if I wanted to, given how many stars I've cleaned out from the previous worlds.

The last level I did was the hidden star at Upside Dizzy galaxy, where you have to burn a bunch of crates within 20 seconds as Fire Mario. I had already done an identical level earlier on, but it took me a ton of tries for some reason, so I ended up calling it just after I finally won.
