Well that's #880, and also the last hat I needed to unlock. A little over 40 hours according to my play log. This moon was easier (and shorter) than people made it sound. Maybe I skipped a bunch of it, I thought I remembered someone saying there was a Bullet Bill part, but there was no Bullet Bill part.
I don't know what to do with myself now that I can't just mess around with finding moons to kill an hour and two.
Other things I did
- Finished the final Sphinx quiz
- Beat the harder Bowser fight
- Collected all the costumes
- Collected all the transformations (there's actually a few that aren't required for a moon)
I'm not grinding coins to get 999, because that's just stupid and tedious. I think they will eventually add DLC to add the remaining 119. I really hope they do DLC or an update or something because I want to do more with this game.
The jump rope, frisbee and matching the face pieces minigames were junk and were some of the last moons I got. Getting 9999 coins was also a pain. An hour of just playing the same bonus stage over and over again.
I played pretty much the entire end game (the final 300 moons or so) as Metal Mario, but thought I should be "regular" Mario to finish off the game. Beating it as Metal Mario made it seem like the final scene would be boring with no face or hand motions
