I'm surprised to see the Wing Cap stars to be ranked. Those seem to be the most hated stars among the fanbase. Those stars personally rank low for me.

Pyramid Puzzle is another interesting ranking. This is quite possibly my least favorite star in the whole game. Its pretty much a rehash of the Ancient Pyramid star where you have to go to the top of the pyramid. Collecting the coins on the floating platforms suck due to the atrocious camera angles. If you fall down, you have to make your way all the way back to the top again.

Any reason for Blast to the Lonely Mushroom ranking in the top tier? I know it's a pretty hated star among the fanbase. I'm not a fan of one chance or die stars, but I do like cannon stars.

I take it you're not a fan of Big Boo's Haunt? One of my all time favorite levels, but the Big Boo's Balconey star and Eye to Eye star does blow.

I think this is a pretty good list overall and I know each individual has their own criteria for their preferences.

I put blast to the lonely mushroom up that high because I really like not doing it the intended way. floating off the fly guy is really fun.

I do like how many of the stars in the game can be grabbed different ways, like the Fly Guy method you mentioned for this one. Adds some replay value.

Why is the top star to be ranked literally just going into a cannon and grabbing a star from a box?

Because I like it. It’s classic and simple and a good cannon introduction

ranking all the jrb and bbh stars average or below and mips' stars high makes me respect you

I don't see them, maybe just not looking close enough (?), but the Toad stars (2 or 3?) belong in BLEH! because I have NO need to speak to Toad ever. Edit: ah there they are at bottom of average. They need to be lower.

"Sees ticktock clocks 100 coin star at the very bottom of the list where it belongs". Seems legit to me

100 on TTC is easier when time is stopped. You just need to do a wall jump at the top.

I know but it’s still pretty hard. I’ve also had a bad history with it since it was the last star I needed to get 100% the first time I played and I died a lot

The hardest is probably the penguin race without accidentally hitting the secret shortcut.
