Since I knew for a while this would be the final post I would be making for a while, I decided to go all out for the finale. For the finale I decided to do the hardest video game challenge that I know of. Super Mario Galaxy 2\u2019s The Perfect Run. First things first though, just to unlock this challenge you need to collect all 120 Power Stars in the main campaign, 120 total Green Stars from every level, and you need to have beaten \u2018The Ultimate Test\u2019 which is a level that tests everything you\u2019ve learned from playing the game. The Perfect Run is the same layout as \u2018The Ultimate Test\u2019 but you only have one point of health and no checkpoints. You\u2019ll have to be perfectly prepared for this behemoth of a finale. Now if you\u2019re watching someone play through this level you might think it\u2019s easy, but that\u2019s just what the game wants you to think. You have to do the entire gauntlet with one health so of course it looks easy. Actually beating the level is another matter entirely. In both Super Mario Galaxy games one of my biggest problems is I over or underestimating my longer jumps, so this gauntlet is a nightmare. The final part of this challenge involves a gauntlet of Hammer Bros which lead to the final three Boomerang Bros you need to defeat to end the level once and for all. If you don\u2019t deal with the Hammer Bros on the way to the Boomerang Bros the Hammer Bros will still be attacking you while you\u2019re trying to deal with the Boomerang Bros and that is a lot to deal with all at once. I would only recommend this challenge if you have obtained all 242 previous stars and studied your route multiple times using the easier version of the level.<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello and welcome to my last post before I go on an indefinite hiatus.
