Twist up the Foodchain is for me the hardest star in Course 11. The rest is easy, but this star was always tough for me. Figuring out that I need to tap A took me some time. At the beginning I tried to use down arrow, but it didn't work. And still tapping A instead of holding A was really weird for me. But the hardest part was swimming to the star. You need to be really fast, because water is going down and you because it's a poison water you don't have too many chances to do that in 1 life.

most of this entire game looks gross and bland tbh. the color palettes are consistently bad and not very mario-esque

I mean he really can't do much about that if the camera for some reason goes nuts when mario specifically swims in the acid

Also yeah this is my least favourite course cos stomach levels are always... Ugh... Why

Surprisingly this is the most "puzzly" course in this tier, the rest are all platforming challenges

Yeah, it's definitely the having-the-C-buttons-on-a-stick thing.

I had the same problem and the same that-might-be-it-y thought, so I swapped my right stick and D-pad controls solely for that star and had no further issues there.

If you get squished by an object, you're unable to move until the object stops squishing you- to prevent this from making it completely impossible to keep playing, the game auto-kills you if you're in this state for too long. The clamshell closing, is an object that causes squishing. I'm not entirely sure what the situation is that causes this exactly- can't be Ceiling polygons because there's situations where you can clip into a ceiling and get stuck, but not squished...

raocow, if you use XPadder, you can set the deadzone for your C Stick to be near 100% and then it'll only trigger the assigned keyboard key when at the edge(the part with the largest width between directions.

Also, you can set it to "4-Way" so there are no "diagonal" zones that trigger multiple C Buttons.

PS: Just remember: st the emulator to respond to the keyboard key you assign in X Padder. Don't let the emulator use the stick directly.

But he is able to zoom in the camera to something more reasonable. We've seen it in previous levels.
However, I think I remember that you couldn't switch between Lakitu and Mario cams in the original game, when swimming, you had to be out of the water. Maybe it's the same thing here.

You mean when the camera goes half a mile(about 2 kilometers) out and then gets the case of the Dutch Madness? Yeah, the camera is totally gonna respond fast enough to bring it in from 2 kilometers to 0.25 dekameters in time.

Looking at those Mecha Koopas from Sunshine, I just realized that the FLUDD Hover Nozzle from Course 2 hasn't reappeared since then. In fact, the only powerup to have appeared multiple times is the Fire Flower.

yeah as far as I can tell, Kaze does that a lot in this hack- introduce a gimmick, then never use it again. There's too many ideas floating around.

The base game has that issue, too, but not to this extreme. (There's a few level-specific gimmicks like tiny-huge island flipping between states, tick tock clock changing based on the time, and hazy maze cave having the haze that drains your health, and vanish cap is barely used. Same with metal; it's 'required' for the most stars, but there's also ways to avoid using it for hazy maze cave... Wing ends up being the one most seen, and even then, not used that much.)

And so Course 11 is finished. I don't really get it why people don't like the aesthetics of this place. For me this is favorite course in third hub. I always loved normal places made in a huge way. And this is a really creative location (inside a fish) in both gameplay and look.

As for feeding golden clam you must place Mario behind clam and a little farther, so that spider will not jump over it.

As for Shock Turtles - they are really painful, but there is, in fact, some really crazy way to beat them.

I would argue the level gimmicks in the base game aren't a problem at all. Each one gives the level it's identity, and I don't see any point in repeating them, nor would I want play through more toxic haze, or traverse another little-big level. And Tick-Tock Clock is the 2nd last level in the game, when would there be a time to re use?

You might have a point on how much the caps are used.

You know, that makes me realise that Kaze hasn't used any level-entry gimmicks. 3 of 15 courses used them in the original - Tiny-Huge has its two entrances, Wet-Dry has its adjustable water level based on entry height, and Tick Tock infamously has its double, half, stopped and chaos settings.

Still, I'd have loved to see FLUDD and co. return not as stage gimmicks, but as extra tools to help a little bit with the platforming in some spots.
