I always used to be able to do it that way. Hitting them from behind is a huge pain. Sometimes I go through them, usually they just bounce away but still act like they were hit (like when you hit the Big Boo boss the first 2 times; he bounces off like he was dying, but doesn't die).

Is it just me, or is it easier to die in this game?

Well, there's the fact that the controls are difficult to get used to compared to the grab and go nature of the original, but once you get past that... No, not really.

Oh. I guess it really is just the harder controls. Mr. I. is harder to beat now. It's no good if you keep running into him.

When facing Mr. Is and Snowmen, I switch to controlling with the touchpad. While a bit awkward for normal play, it makes it much easier to circle them...

Pff, just use the touchpad all the time. I only switch to the d-pad for pole climbing.

I would, but it seems to periodically slip and I have to bring my thumb back to the center for it to work right again. I dunno.

It does seem harder due to the controls and physics changes I mentioned. I think I've worked out most of what it is:

1) Much less 'hang time' when landing on a steep slope, giving you no chance to jump off before falling. You also seem to launch a lot further when you fall off one.

2) The ground is a lot slipperier in some places. The characters have a tendency to slide around eternally near the snowman in level 4, and Wario sometimes skids a bit in the castle.

3) Some enemies' clipping fields, mainly the boos, seem to be a bit buggy. I often go right through a ghost and only actually hit it when I reach the center. The changed controls make jumping harder too, which gives the illusion of clipping problems.

And maybe it's just me but I just can't seem to get Yoshi up to speed. He can barely climb certain slopes such as the cannons in levels 1 and 3 or the rock with the red coin in level 1, always falls off that freaking bridge in level 2, and just seems slow in general. I can't quite figure out why... Also, switch stars are teh suck. When I first saw silver stars, I thought "oh cool, I bet they're gonna use these in like every level" (because they really are cool, except that you drop them when you get hit ). Then I saw switch stars and I was just like "please no..." I was right.

Switch stars are annoying, especially when Wario is involved. I like the silver stars, but in the Battle Fort, I had three different stars bouncing around at the same time (curse you, cannonballs!).

I only used Wario for the things he needed to be used on. If he had fulfilled his purpose (breaking a black block or falling to the bottom of the water) I would hit something and change back to whoever I was before. Also, I got his rabbits. Then I put him back in his door. Wario is the worst thing about the game.

Another physics change: the timing on hitting enemies with kicks/punches is slightly different (you have to attack earier) making it difficult at first when you're used to the N64 version. The bullies in particular were really tough before I got used to it.

...the only switch star I had a problem with was with that Bowser lava place. Otherwise I found them quite easy to obtain with, even when using Wario. Come on, they wasn't that hard.

Yeah i agree with Kitten Yiffer, all the star switches were easy. Except for the one in Big boo's mansion. That was the only star switch that toke me multiple tries.

That one just took two tries, I punched the black brick block once. Pressed the Star switch and did run for the star, but Wario runs so slow...

I jumped into the Water and took the Mario or Luigi cap, and it turned much easier to get the star. Wario is the slowest of the three after all. Hell, Wario is swimming so slow it's unbearable.

Thought I gotta admit that I died twice on that lava bowser level's star switch. But that was from my own stupidity. I stressed through the level... which wasn't that good to do.

The one in Big Boo's Haunt was easy. Break the block, switch to Mario or Luigi, hit the switch, run. A lot of them are easy if you just change characters once you've exposed the switch. (Shifting Sand Land especially - hit the block, change to Mario, grab a Wing Cap, hit the switch, shoot toward it. ) The only one I found especially difficult was in Hazy Maze Cave; you need to do a perfect triple jump up there, and then long jump to the platform with the star. They're mostly not hard, just annoying. (Especially having to watch the appearing/disappearing animation over and over. )

Yeah. I don't see why after the first three or so times they didn't have it just not show the animation and only play the sound effects :x
