Got ideas?, Help contribute to SM:SQ 2

I'm working on Super Mario:Star Quest 2. Forget the switches and the wall-climbing - this is an absolutely great new game that will be a lot better than the original!
Based off Mario 64, it will feature 80 stars - 8 courses with 10 stars each.
As well as boss battles (the original featured none) and a lot more stuff!
So why have I made this topic?
I need ideas for stars.
Two stars in each level will be red coins and switch star (see mario 64 DS), respectively.
If you suggest something, please post a name and objective for the star. Also, a suggested course type for these.
Here are the course types (based off places on the Yoshi's Safari map, which will be the main stage select screen - every course except Bowser's Castle will be accessible from the beginning, upon beating the 7 other boss battles, Bowser's Castle will be unlocked. when the 10 stars are collected in a level, the boss will be unlocked.)
1 - Nipper Field (grass)
2 - DK Grounds (platforming grass)
3 - Blooper Beach (water and sand)
4 - Cheese Bridge (weird stuff, dump everything here that doesn't go in another level)
5 - Pipe Works (puzzles and pipes)
6 - Shroom Jungle (way too many mushroom platforms)
7 - Shyguy Mountain (a mountain with many holes and platforms, similar to SM64's Tall Tall Mountain)
8 - Bowser's Castle (lava, lava, and more lava)


Screenshot:
(the map may look weird - the game is 640x480, all sprites are scaled 2x, except for the map which is scaled 3x, so it's expected that it will not scale exactly to 320x240 to save space - it looks fine in-game)


so, get on posting ideas!

UPDATE 1:
Planned powerups are:
Yoshi Suit
Goomba Mario
Koopa Mario
Bowser Mario
All from Rapid's suits sheet.
So, you can design your stars with these in mind.
Yoshi Mario can eat enemies and items and spit them out. He can't make eggs, though. But this can be helpful for carrying items like springs around!
Goomba Mario can get help from Goombas - they will turn towards him instead of attacking him, and give him helpful advice!
Koopa Mario will be able to get into a shell and rocket around. He will be invincible to Koopa Troopas.
Bowser Mario will be a rare powerup: breath fire and be invincible to any enemy!

Nipper Fields:
Name:Nipper Panic
Objective:There are a mass of Nippers somewhere in the Level,there´s a time limit,and in the time limit you must find the one Nipper that´s holding a Star in it.
What do you think?

Dk ground:
''Open your soul and remember the good times'':P
There are a lot of Mario Vs Donkey Kong objects,and you must beat DK in Mario Vs Donkey Kong style!
How's my idea, huh?

... Just realised I put this in GC.
Can anyone who can move it to Fangame Discussion, please?

Shyguy Mountain:
Name: Battle With GeneralGuy
Objective: A boss fight consisting of a few shyguys before facing GeneralGuy. He throws bombs and the battle is at the top of the mountain. Three shyguys. GeneralGuy takes three hits.

Got sprites for that?
How would GeneralGuy be attacked?

Magikoopa caverns.
Name: dimension drift
Objective: you begin in a cave you go through a rainbow pipe and end up in a place loaded with magikoopas. go through a few battles with em and then have a show down with kamek. beat him get the star then go up the other rainbow pipe to escape.

yes i'm a magikoopa fan deal with it

"Boil the Big Bully" in Bowser's castle would be yes.

Also, in Pipe Works, how about there's an Ukiki that runs around and goes through pipes, and you have to chase him to get a star that he holds, if it's not to hard to program. "Ukiki and the star"?

And lastly, for Blooper Beach, how about a battle with a giant Blooper, where you have to stomp on all of his tentacles while he spits ink at you. It could be called "Hook, Line, and Blooper"!

Where would this star be set?


And to respond to everyone else-
Kapworld: That's a good idea for one of the Nipper Field stars.
Serban: I'd have to download MvsDK and see how that works. If i see it fits well, I might make DK the boss of DK Jungle.
GeneralGuy: I'm not sure if I'd add this, as I'd rather not have any MFGGers in. I might make him the boss of Shyguy Mountain though if I do add it.
Marth: See response above
MegaTailsChao: What's "Boil the Big Bully"? I'll probably add the "Ukiki and the Star" one, as it sounds like it would work quite well. (I'd probably change the name though, does "Plumber Ukiki" sound good?)
And, that's a great idea for the Blooper battle. I'll probably make him the boss of Blooper Beach.

So, what's remaining...

Boil the Big Bully is that one star in SM64 where you have to make the somewhat large Bully fall into the lava. You know, that one battle in Lethal Lava Land.

Oh, I've never played that course (I've never managed to beat the Bowser 1 level, so I haven't got to it yet). Can you explain how it works and what you have to do to obtain it? I've watched it in a SM64 TAS, but I don't know how to actually do it. What do you have to do to knock the Bully into the lava?

Nipper Field:
-Chomp Panic
Kill the Chaindog!
(There's a Big Chaindog on the Map. He follow you and try to eat you. Maybe you can make it a bit like in Super mario Sunshine)

-Chomp Disaster
Kill the big Chain Dog

-Chomp Apocalypse
Kill the big Lava-Chomp!


-Play with the Piranahs
Find the Piranah Plants and feed them with Shy Guys (or other Things) befofre they kill you.
(Maybe you can make that you can drag/drop dead Enemies)

ShyGuy Mountain:

-The Ice Pyramide
Find the way to the big Ice Cave
(Make a big Ice-Cave. First the players must find the Pyramide. In the Pyramide is something like a small labyrint.)

-Battle with the Iceblobber
Kill the Iceblobber
(The players must go back to the pyramide and find the door to that boss)

First you would have to knock 2 or 3 normal Bullies into the lava by attack them(Punching, jumping, etc.), then a REALLY big Bully comes and you have to do the same with him, but he's harder to move. The Bullies don't hurt Mario, but they can push him into the lava for MASSIVE DAMAGE.

Have one level/world called "Momochrome Mayham" all in black/white, with Tatanga as the boss.

P.S. a Homestar Runner themed/named level would be nice

What's a chaindog?
Also, I've never played Super Mario Sunshine, so I'm not sure what you're talking about.
About the piranha plant one.. I'm not sure how that would work. I don't think I would be able to program something like that. Maybe it could be used with the Yoshi Suit?
And I forgot to mention - Read the first post, it has info on powerups which you can use to help you!
Shyguy mountain is not an ice world, it's a place a lot like Tall Tall Mountain in SM64.

And I want to make this clear: I WILL NOT ADD ANY NEW LEVELS! Only the 8 I mentioned will be used.

oh ok. sorry >.<. I though Tall Tall Mountan was the Ice Level.. .(I really should Play SM64 again)

Cool Cool Mountain is the ice level. And snowman's Land.
Tall Tall Mountain is the one that has Ukiki. I think..

ShyGuy Mountain:

Who has the star?

A group of shyguys are playing hot potato with the star but scatter whjen they see you. you have to find the one who has it.

I thought I'd just say this: I want to see some more originality!
You can suggest level elements that are needed to make these stars work, too.
I don't just want stuff like "find who has the star". I want to see things like the ukiki one in Tall-tall Mountain (where you get ukiki to open the cage with the star for you).
Also, please test out my engine and give me some feedback on it:
I made my own using the Platform Movement extension.
Tell me if you don't like something about it.

 starquest2.zip

boss of pipeworks giant pirahna and 3 pipes, he appears/ goes down one of 3 pipes. He shoots nippers and slime. If its not to hard make it that you have to put a cork on top of a pipe and if he touches it he gets hurt. Boil the big bully: You know in sm64 in lethal lava land theres a course called boil the big bully where you have to bunch a big black cannon ball with green feet yellow horns and eyes into lava.
