In Galaxy I have a couple of stars to get before I finish.
One of them is the daredevil level in Ghostly Galaxy, where you have to beat Bouldergeist.
It is so annoying, I've done it like 20 times and I always get hit by a rock at the end.
How many times do I have to take out his arms? They just keep on comin' back.

Geeze, I vaguely remember doing that one and yes, it was a serious pain.

As for how to help, I'm sorry, but I don't remember. It's been too long.

Just keep trying... it was hard at first, but once you figure it out it's quite easy.

I found it real hard too until I realised that when you swing the remote harder the bombs travel futher out. Other than that it can be handy to shoot star bits at the rocks he sends at you.

That one gave me some trouble too, I found it more difficult than Luigi's Purple Coins. It's all about learning his patterns, swinging harder to broaden the range of your attacks, shooting the rocks he throws out of the air with Star Bits, and staying away from the rocks that rise up from the ground. Just keep at it, you'll get him eventually.

Yeah man it took me at least 30 tries as well when i practically breezed through the rest of it. The"trick" is megaman style, get used to his pattern as much as possible

Most difficult part of the game for me, apart from luigi's purple coins. Its a trial and error thing, you get it eventually

Get as many star bits as you can, literally waste them away on the floating rocks :P, and never miss an opportunity to grab a Boo. Also remember that you can spin attack through the spiked rocks after he sends them up - just in case you didn't know. The key thing for me was patience; wait until the opportunity is a perfect one where you can't get hit.

It was annoying, but it was easy the second time.

i thought that one was fairly easy. now the daredevil run on the lava planet galaxy was rediculously hard. also collecting 100 purple coins on that level where the floor disapears after you touch it was hard. believe it or not the 2nd time i did that one with luigi i collected the 100 coins on the first try. i was so relieved

I beat him in 10 tries. The biggest pain IMO was Luigi's purple coins :x I hated that, real strategic level.

Really? Maybe I'm just good on Mario games, but I got a little dissapointed with the difficulty. I don't want to be a show-off, but it took me 2 tries for that star.

Am I the only one who wishes the next Mario will be harder?

Bouldergeist was an awesome boss, though..

Oh man, I remember that one. It took me like 30 tries on the daredevil comet, drove me crazy.

I just stood on the outside and ran in one direction. then whenever i was against a black ghost that's when i ran up to him and hit him.

Nope. I would love a Mario game comprised of Luigi's Purple Coins, Lava Daredevil Run, and Bouldergeist DD type levels only lol. I'd probably find it annoying at first but I'd actually feel a sense of accomplishment after beating such a game that will never exist. Nintendo could make a harder game, but they won't because people would become frustrated. Imagine Yoshi's Island DS only containing those extra levels... that would be INTENSE!

shooting the rocks with star bits helps(I beat it w/out that though :D ). Just be patient. Dodge him until theres a ghost really close to him, and it should only take a second to hit him, then run away.

Yeah, same. :P It's only natural.. Maybe swedes are good at Mario games? 8)

And Zuma, yeah that would indeed be intense. I also think that the bosses should be more difficult to defeat. They should have more stuff that they can do, so they get harder to memorize.

It took me a few times to defeat Bouldergeist, but like many have said it's all about finding the pattern. What bugged me most about battling him was I took no damage when I played him the first time, but when I tried it with the comet I wasn't nearly that lucky.

For me, the Lava Dare Devil run was the hardest (still working on purple coin levels). It's one of the longer levels my biggest problem was that I was trying to rush through it. Once I slowed down (except for the end of the level) I was able to get through it pretty easily.
