Twice In a row. Looks like 3rd time they make the hat go back to you when you dive into it. I used it to get to top of rock with trex at from the side where its pretty high.
Edit: they don't let you do it with a jump from ground. The first toss has to be done on ground to do it twice.

That traversal is insane. I felt like a genius when I discovered ground pound + jump.
Probably already asked a million times, but is the best way to play this game with the split Joycons? That's the controller scheme it shows every time it loads the game, and the attacks that require you to shake your controller are really awkward with a Pro Controller.
It's not a big deal, but in the future can you please label your spoiler tags? From the context, I assumed this was something that happens towards the beginning of New Donk City.
I just teared up out of nowhere while playing when
you take control of the snow guy that is too scared to race
Post-game spoilers.
I wanna cry, there's a level that makes Champion's Road seem like a cake walk.
I just beat the main story for the game with 174 stars (I got it a day early and work was slow). It is an amazing game, and really enjoyable from start to finish. Overall it was on the easy side but I am sure the postgame will kick my butt.
I am not the type of person usually to binge play a game but this game is just that good. Personally Sonic Mania is still GotY for me but this game is still a solid second in a year with so many amazing games.

First toss has to be on ground to do a second. In the air doing the toss they only let you do one.
Koopa Free Run is such a good idea. Teaches the player and gives them a taste of what mario speedrunning is like with the process of figuring out the routing thanks to the online leaderboards. It could have been like Koopa the Quick and be kinda lame, but it's great.
The game is creative and polished, but as much as I've tried I just haven't been exhilarated by it the way some other people are. It could be a me problem -- or I think the 10/10 scores set up too high an expectation in my mind.
It's whimsical and cute, but I just feel like I'm going through motions because it (as of the three hour or so mark) seems so simplistic and unchallenging -- I just don't feel engaged. While I had some criticisms of BOTW, I was utterly enthralled for the first 15 hours and at least in that time the 10/10s made sense.
I'll try to finish it, though. I'm still hoping I start liking it more at some point.

That's a Screenshot of the Nintendo Switch Parental app that shows you how long users have played on the Switch, you have to activate logging in the system and download the app to your smartphone to check it.
Man, the music in the Luncheon Kingdom's Special Stages is so good, fast and jaunty like the best athletic themes. The Luncheon Kingdom is the furthest I've been so far, but I'm finding tons of new details and secrets every time I come back to a kingdom, it feels super rewarding, even more than the moons I'm earning on the way
The real shock would have been if you were actually enjoying the game lol
I've read in a few places that it saves a bunch of real challenging stuff for post game.
I agree with what you're saying, to s point - it does feel like less of a challenge. For me, I don't expect that out of Mario as much as I do Zelda, so in the confines of that, I can still say it's a fantastic game and enjoy it a lot. I get if you're looking for more challenge, though.
I'm not sure, but I'd recommend trying to find them all on your own. As far as I've seen there aren't any lone coins (all groups of at least 2), and they're incredibly well-hidden. By that, I mean it isn't just some random "ground pound every square inch of the level"-fest (looking at you, Yoshi's New Island), and that there's a sort of elegance to where they hid the coins.
Is this a thing? I though all the amiibo just revealed hints to power moons as an alternative to using coins.
That and the hearts of coins they give you if you scan them anywhere other than Uncle Amiibo.
This game is absolute perfection. Quick question - is there any way to collect all of the moons on any given world before beating the game?
And I've only collected all of the currency on one world, missing 3-8 on some others. Is the currency ever unable to ontain until beating the game or am I just missing it?

You can actually check in the system itself, vaguely. Go to your page using the circle at the upper left of the home screen and scroll up to profile, you can see your count there. It only updates every 5 hours (as in, it will say "played 20 or more", then "25 or more", etc.) but it doesn't require a new app at least!
I wonder how many Mario games in a row people will need to play through to realize the meaty challenge is post game AND that all the stuff before that point is also really good.
Yeah, any of the Bowser amiibos highlight a group of regional coins when you scan it, but not in the map, just in the game world.
No, you cannot obtain every moon before the post game. When Toad and the bird stop giving hints, you've reached the current limit.
The purple currency in each kingdom is all obtainable before completing the game.
From what I've been able to do so far you can collect all the currency in each kingdom on your first visit but not all the moons.
I've been judging the moon availability on the Hint Toad and Talkatoo both saying they have no more hints for that world.
Edit: Seems I was right. Phew.
That... doesn't sound very helpful. =/
Slightly off topic, but does anyone else gets motion sickness from this game?
As much as I love this game so far, I cannot manage to play it for more the 30 mins without feeling queezy, usually that only happens to me with FPS games, this is the first time it's happened to me on a 3D Mario or 3rd person action games in general :/

at some point we have to accept the last challenging Mario game was The Lost Levels, which was 30 years ago. These games are about spectacle, the discovery of the unknown, the archaic cute nonsense of it all, the joy of moving around a playful world. If you push far enough you might get a Champion's Road/Grandmaster challenge at the end, but that's an epilogue and not the main feature.
I imagine Nintendo keeps it relatively easy until Bowser, so more people can "beat" the game.
I get it with FPS too, and Yooka-Laylee. But not with this game so far. Try having the camera move slower in the options.
If the Toad that offers hints for coins say, "I have no more hints" does that mean I have obtained all possibles moon shines? As I have a few missing but have no means to obtain them.
Come back later more moons open later in the game/post game
I almost feel dirty for just sticking with getting the minimum amount of moons on each world before moving on. Figure if I'll have to go back through after beating it to get them all anyways might as well just work my way through the game and cleanup afterwards. Seems like I'm in the minority though for sure. This game continues to put a smile on my face though in a way that a Mario game hasn't done for me in a long time.
I was trying to do the Jump rope minigame for a solid 20 minutes. Then I jumped up from 68 or so to 333! lol
Only tip I can give is once you pass the last speed up at around 50-60, get into a rhythm that'll have you do the shortest possible jump as soon as you hit the ground. Once you figure that out, it's like a consistent, quick beat.

I really liked 3D World -- And I liked it because it put up a pretty good fight. It wasn't brutal, but it asked something of me. So far Odyssey doesn't really ask anything of me except that I just be there.
I'm doing this too, I figured it's way more fun than staying in a kingdom for hours on end.
And if you reeeeeeally care that much about challenge you can make the game more challenging for yourself by actually engaging with everything at your disposal. Whether it's trying to get secrets, or taking more risky and creative jumps in order to go faster. It's not even obscure stuff like making up your own game mode like nuzlocke challenges or something. Mario games are often so freeform in what they allow you to do that all you have to do is play the game in a more fun way and you'll have more fun. It's all right there for you. Mario games haven't been challenging in a long time, and honestly, the most challenging ones also happen to be the worst ones, I feel. Like Sunshine. It's probably the hardest 3D Mario, but not for good reason...
I saw earlier there's a way to replay a certain event that happens in New Donk City, is that only something you can do after beating the game, or can I do it now, and if so, how? I really want to show that sequence to my dad the next time I see him, it almost made me cry it was so incredibly well done which is extremely rare for a video game to do to me ;__;
