I think it's funny how when I complain about a game, it seems to make people want to play it, but when I recommend a game it makes no one want to play it.
I know this was more a general community-aimed comment, but the reason I personally feel this way is because normally you're far more critical of games I've played and I want to see if I wasn't critical enough of the parts that annoyed you.

The Pianta Village "secret," for example, wasn't entirely a "trial and error" situation for me. I used Mario's first-person view to line myself up with the people and I took it from there. I do recall hating the underside of that particular level no matter when I went down there (the lava level), but I usually think it's my own disability in the game rather than poor design. (I tended to do this with a lot of games until I came online and found people like FO were having the exact same problems.)

The throwing game was irritating, and I remember missing by very short distances when I was down there. However, I was more determined to beat the game than I was annoyed by it.
