The two stars in today's video are probably two of the most unique and interesting challenges in the game. Fatal Flame Falls really has a lot going for it.

This course is so interesting.

Good job using zoomed in Mario Cam. It's exactly what I would have done. Fortunately, you control stick didn't wobble you into any walls.

I liked raocow's method of getting to the tower more. Felt better than just "OH, RANDOM PLATFORMS SUDDENLY APPEARED LOL"

though at least said platforms stay there for later stars, so that's good.

As soon as you had 7 coins and started looking for the last one, as soon as you looked at that way-too-long-to-make-the-jump jump, I just knew you'd fall at some point and it would lead to a death and subsequent difficulty getting them all again.

I wasn't disappointed, but I wish I was.

Is this ride to the volcano thing another situation where Lakitu camera would have been more useful?

Well that's certainly one way to make the entire rest of your game seem far less interesting.

I imagine repeatedly losing your progress climbing up that path would be super-annoying, but honestly, some of those fall deaths were pretty spectacular.

I remember this first star the only one that gave me a lot of trouble in this world and that was mostly because of the satellite jump. I had no idea you could sit on the side part like that and so I had to resort to a triple jump + dive to get onto the platform with the amp. Overall this level is pretty good and surprisingly large too.

I personally need to try the game out myself. It looks pretty fun yet tedious.

everything else about the level looks pretty cool and well put-together but that star was pretty trash. too long and unforgiving, the ball section is pretty dumb, the satellite is pretty dumb, the platform switching is pretty dumb, the last bit before the star is pretty dumb, i just didn't like it

can't wait to see the rest of the level tho
i've honestly never played a video game in my life

A lot of the deaths from the ball section were totally on raocow too. He really didn't seem to be trying to actually dodge them. He was just trying to rush it (understandably so after so many falls though) which only resulted in even more attempts to get past it, lol.

From what I remember the first star of the UFO level is easily the hardest one, the rest should be pretty doable.

Yeah, everything else isn't too bad. Except for the star that requires the cannon. That one is dumb and annoying.

Apart from the satellite I actually also liked the rocket star. It was very flavorful and that "sasuke/ninja warrior" ramp at the end was fun.
Sure it was difficult, but that could be expected from world 15.
