I'm going to be doing a massive 3D Mario Marathon starting tomorrow and I was curious if anyone has any tips for just general speed in the galaxy games, since I feel like those will take the longest.

Long jumping is the fastest way to get around. For Mario, doing a Wiimote spin in midair will give you more height, whereas with Luigi, doing a Nunchuk spin in midair will give you more height; and be sure to hold A while doing so with either character! Other than that, I guess uh...watch high level runs and see what you can pick up, and don't die too much lol

Thanks, the run ended up going really well and the games were surprisingly fast.
