I can't seem to see this info anywhere. Watching a video of them on youtube for the first zone already spoiled me >!Yoshi would appear!< so I'd rather avoid doing that for the time being.
I feel drained. I feel empty. But I feel... fulfilled?
I had the original cartridge on the N64 (still have it, although it's in its box somewhere now) but I don't remember ever getting further than Big Boo's Mansion or the underground levels (Shifting Sand Land or Lethal Lava Land).
Years later I 100%'d it on an emulator, but it's not the same thing, and save states obviously trivialize everything so it just felt like I cheated my way through.
Now, 5 years ago I bought the 3D All-Stars collection on my Switch, intending to play the three games in order, starting with 64. I managed to get all stars in every level... until Rainbow Ride. Couldn't get a single one there, got a bit frustrated and started playing other games.
A few days ago I watched the Super Mario Galaxy movie, and thought I should really play that game... but not before I beat 64 and Sunshine, dammit! And this time it only took me a few hours to get everything in Rainbow Ride, although I hadn't played the game in years... Getting the 100 coins took a bit more time, and of course the 100th coin was picked up while on a flying carpet. I died getting the star, but it still counted, so I guess I got lucky. Took a few tried beating Final Bowser, but there's a one-up shroom just before the warp pipe to his arena that reappears every time you die, so in the end it's pretty easy.
Now to Sunshine...
