I played through the end of world 6 and 1 level of world 7 with my girlfriend. It's been a long time since we last played, so we were a bit rusty. We started by getting all the green stars in the last level we played where we had to use the cat suit through a level based on an continually moving raft. The next level had us climbing through a level filled with Bullet Bills and fast moving cloud platforms.
Then, we took on some evil clouds who had a blowing job. These clouds would send huge waves of air that would throw us off platforms. Along the way, we had the opportunity to knock Goombas out of their ice skate shoe thing. These things are amazing to use, letting us glide on the ice and skate over dangerous spikes. The next level was a very short one that had us climb a tower that was being invaded by quick little black creatures.
The bonus level was awesome too. To gather the 6 green stars, we had to successfully throw baseballs around in different challenge rooms. It was really cool. We then took on the final level of World 6, another flying ship. This one required that we use bombs to blow up certain sections of the level. We also had to use the Tanooki suit to hit targets on the floor to build little bridges. After saving the fairy, we had to confront another boss. A small jester would puff itself up by surrounding itself with weird little chrome balls. Every once in a while, it would get out of the balls to attack us, that's when we had to attack it. The cherry item helped us manage all the balls...
Finally, we reached World 7, which seems like it's the last world. We only played one level here, but it was a good one. A classic castle environment, complete with spinning fire barriers, Thwomps and Hammer Bros. I'm glad we finally played Super Mario 3D World again!
