Super Mario 3d World 3-2 Star Coins

Okay, let's talk about something important. Something that might divide friendships. Super Mario 3D World, world 3-2. Specifically, the star coins.

I know, I know, everyone loves Super Mario 3D World. It's colorful! It's fun! It has cats!

Those Star Coins...

But let's be real for a minute. World 3-2's star coins? They're... a bit much. Don't @ me.

The First Offender

That first star coin, hanging precariously near the edge? The one where you have to do some weird jump with the double cherry clones? Annoying, right?

It's not *hard* hard. Just... fiddly. And prone to sending your poor clones plummeting to their doom. RIP, little buddies.

I've seen friendships tested over that coin. Relationships strained. Maybe I'm exaggerating. But *maybe* not.

The Second Star: Hidden in Plain Sight (Sort Of)

The second star coin isn't as bad, admittedly. But it still requires a certain level of... dedication. Or maybe just blindly jumping into walls. Either works.

Hidden compartments are a classic Mario trope. I get it. But this one feels like they were running out of ideas. "Just shove it behind this slightly suspicious wall!"

And don't even get me started on trying to explain its location to a less experienced player. "Just... jump at the wall! No, *that* wall! The *other* one!"

The Final Test of Patience

Ah, the third star coin. The grand finale of minor frustration. The star coin guarded by... bouncy platforms. Joy.

It's not the bouncy platforms themselves. It's the timing. The *precise* timing. One wrong bounce and you're watching Mario do his little "whoops, I missed" animation.

Plus, if you're playing with friends, chaos ensues. Bouncing each other into oblivion is practically mandatory. It's a law of physics.

Am I the Only One?

Look, I love Super Mario 3D World. Really, I do. The music, the levels, the cat suits... purrfect!

But these star coins? They feel a little... tacked on. Like someone said, "We need to make this level *slightly* more challenging!"

Maybe I'm just bad at video games. Entirely possible. But I suspect I'm not alone in my mild disdain for these particular collectibles.

So, tell me. Am I the only one who finds these star coins a tiny bit irritating? Or are we all just pretending to love them because it's Mario?

Let's be honest. It's okay to admit a Mario level isn't *completely* perfect. Even Mario makes mistakes (like dating Pauline...twice!).

"It's-a me, Mario! And I may have messed up this level design a little!"

Ultimately, it's still a great game. And those coins? They're just a minor speed bump on the way to rescuing the Sprixie Princesses.

But next time I play, I might just skip those star coins. Shhh! Don't tell anyone.
