The Final-Final Test Badge Marathon

I beat it after 10 years! Woo! It took, like, a thousand lives but I beat it with my sister, @Fran. We beat it with Yoshi (Fran) and Nabbit (me) which is technically cheating but they are part of the game. Have you guys struggled with it?

I thought it was a pretty well-designed final challenge course. It was quite doable with a handful of attempts just to get a feel for some of the rooms. That all said, whoever decided to combine invisibility with Bloomps - why? That part was a nuisance.

I got my only game over in my playthrough on this level because I made the mistake of going in with "only" around 70 lives the first time instead of the max 99. Spring Feet was brutal!

Playing online with other people is extra useful, with everyone else able to act as your checkpoints to skip the brutal parts. I really appreciated this, but I felt that only for the invisibility section, I am on my own because I returned from sleep mode, so no online to help here.

Thank you for reading.

That's the part that took us so long lol. We could beat the rest but that part was something else. I already sucked at jumping on Bloomps. Imagine the pain.

Here's something that'll hopefully help you out: in a multiplayer game, the "leading" player will have a crown above them. This will make tracking them easier. It's even visible while everyone is invisible! Observe!

that firebar segment was where my sis and i lost the most lives but i did the bloomp section in one try thanks to the crown mechanic

i don't like that level

There's no "i haven't unlocked it yet" option?

Sorry about that. Fixed it!

i was being sarcastic. It actually took around a month-ish? I can't remember.

True! I remember when you would get mad at me when I got so stressed of doing it over and over again for hours. It was kinda fun though!
