“Unfortunately, there’s no way to dodge a blue shell once it has you in it’s eyes.”
There is a way. A mushroom.
But it’s possible to get a mushroom in 1st place. And I know that it’s unlikely, but it’s possible.
@@twitterusersarefreakingstu2200 Sometimes it's possible to get a mushroom power-up and not use it until you are in first place.
Got a ground mushroom once and I got lucky
a mushroom has a 5 percent chance of appearing in 1st on the item roulette
@@PumpkinProdigy it was on the ground on like maple tree way from one of the hay bails
The worst part about com racers in 150cc/mirror is that they use their calculator brains to nail with green shells using bullshit trickshots that no person could land without extreme luck.
A lot of the trick shots I land are actually just terribly aimed close misses that coincidentally happen close to a turn and the computers seem to drift right into them. I do always get a terrible feeling when the com racer 1 place behind me picks up a triple green shell though.
UltraNerdyGamer never challenge me, cos I'm a pro no scoped
l know jeez fuck off Nintendo make the danm cpus more forgiving today l got hit by a lighting bolt, red shell, banana, and a blue shell jesus fucking christ.
ikr bowse did that to me when i was close to beating the whole game.
I know. I got hit by 2 green shells, a red shell, then a blue shell RIGHT BEFORE THE FUCKING FINISH LINE
My factors when i got 3 star was:
Get first place in every lap
Get 10 coins
Get first place
Zy3rra You don't need 10 coins. I've succeeded without.
Zy3rra You also don't need to be in first place in every lap. But I think it's a problem when you lag too far behind for too long in the race, that's when even winning the race seemed to be irrelevant.
Get? You mean you got and thought it contributed to it. But that is bullshit. Many people have already tested this. Btw Your first and last point is the same only more included.
Thomas C Get/Got both are correct lol
Noonbot Sister of Daybot I didn't corrected his Grammer, but noticed him that he is partially wrong.
You can also dodge the Blue Shell if you time a mushroom correctly
What's the frame window?
Zach Tf2 around when it stops above you
Epic Kazoo Covers Yeah well at the time I didnt know and when I did, I forgot about this comments.
I didn’t know you could, I appreciate this comment
I had that happen by accident once. But it is very tricky to do.
Tip number 1: Cut the corners as sharp as you can
Tip number 2: Time your corner entries and corner exits perfectly
Tip number 3: Practice
Every time I think of blue shells, I think of the saying "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer."
4:49 Correction: You can still dodge the blue shell even if it's already launched. You just have to do so before the siren goes off. That indicates that you're it's target; and that it's too late to drop out. Luckily as mentioned, you're gonna be fairly close to other players when playing 150cc and Mirror mode. So it's easy to drop out or catch the other players in the explosion. Just make sure to drop out of first either before the siren goes off, or once you see it in a player's inventory on the touch screen.
Guide:
Get triple banana- hold
Get mushroom- take shortcuts or dodge the blue shell
Your welcome
ANOTHER TIP: IN SINGLE PLAYER, USE GLITCHES TO TAKE SHORTCUTS
(like in Maka Wuhu)
+Dylan P (Dylanzu) What glitches? #ColeSparks
The ColeSparks All shortcut glitches that exist in all maps
Never seen or heard glitches in Mario Kart 7.
The ColeSparks
yeah i have :p
+Dylanzu (Dylanzu) theyre not glitches they are supposed to be in the game
2019 anybody who still plays the 3ds like the video
Hugo deleon sameeeee
July 2020...... Now im the only one!
I still play it 2020
Same
There are still people online all the time. I'm in Canada, and there are lots of people online, from Japan, the US, occasionally Canada, Mexico, Australia, China, Taiwan, and others; and there are some very strange _cyborg_ players with smiley faces for names and no country flag (they're good, but beatable).
"Do Mirror Mode before 150cc" I thought you unlocked Mirror Mode by beating 150cc.
No you unlock all characters to get mirror mode
@@slimmy1873 to unlock all characters you have to beat all the 150cc cups
@@jopoxfred no its any cc with 3 stars to unlock a character, after unlocking all characters you unlock mirror mode
@@jopoxfred
You don't need 3 Stars in the 150cc Cups to unlock Mirror Mode, though. So you just get Gold in the 150cc Cups (any Stars), to unlock the Mirror Mode, then just work the Mirror Cups for 3 Stars, before working the 150cc Cups for 3 Stars. I think that was the suggestion.
I would still go after 3 Stars in 150cc first though, since I'm used to the direction anyway. Why get used to mirror tracks, then get used to the original tracks all over again afterward?
Hell no!!
Dat wario thou LOL Did he have bad luck..hs bullet bill left him right in a blue shell explosion! XD 4:50
everytime i win all races in 1st place, it gives me 2 stars
what's up with that
Decoratortax8 You might have not finished fast enough, you weren't in 1st place long enough (You were too far behind for too long), or maybe something else
Decoratortax8 and you have to have 10 coins before finishing the race
are you kidding me
Jesus Rivera I knew that was it!
i finish 4 1st places and i got 37 coins and i got 3 stars i hit couple walls so im thinking how its possible?????
Wow Andre you talk so slowly in your old videos!!
Anyone 2022? 😂
2024😂😂
2025😂😂😂
NO!!!!! There is a way to dodge the blue she'll without a star! With precise timing, you can dodge a blue she'll by using a mushroom as soon as in hits you. It is very precise timing, but very possible and super useful.
true
Thank you. Fucking Thank you.
You can use a golden mushroom, triple mushroom, or drift which will possibly work
But it's very hard to time.
How do you capture 3DS footage? Emulation or do you have a device that connects to the 3DS?
Capture card.
You answered a question 8 years too late mate
XD
Better late than never
@@Kiniwood ye
Hey guess what! If you use a mushroom you can avoid a blue shell. I'm surprised no one in the comments has said anything about that yet.
***** I was being sarcastic.
100s of people comment about the mushrooms mc cringey
I can't believe it's been seven years. I am getting old.
My Guide:
Keep 1st place
Rocket boost at the start
When in 5th place, do a technique called item smuggling
You could also be in any place in a race until the last lap. Then when you're at the last lap, you better get to first place! It gets you ten points.
Well, thx for the example, I already got 3 star rank! (Puts on shades) *YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!*
Oh RIP
@@TheBlueFire980 I almost broke my hands
This is very helpful information. Thank you GameXplain. I have still not finished the three ranks on all of the cups and at this rate it will probably take me a few months of total dedication and commitment to get this out of my life!
One tip for you guys .I remember when the blue shell was coming for me and I decided to fall in a pit and then the blue shell got confuse . the person I was racing online thought I got hit by the blue shell but no he was about to reach the finish line then heard that the blue shell was coming . he then asked me why did I cheat . I said I didn't because I fell off the pit so the blue shell will have to repeat the lap and hit someone else who's first
Finally!!! Got 3 Star's on 50cc 100cc 150cc Mirror All of them Thanks so much for the Tip's
Helped alot ^^ love my 3 Star Ranking next to my name thanks you
ypu can avoid the blue shell to if you have a mushroom when the blue shell comea down you use the mushroom
+groundbeef2 some times if ur lucky u can get it in first it's a 1/14 Chance
+groundbeef2 no only in mk7 you'll rarley get one
You can get it. i got it many time
LMFAO "GROUNDBEEF"
Yeah, groundbeef I gotta say, you're pretty stupid for someone who's played MK7 for "400 hours" I always seem to get a mushroom in first place and I save it for those mushroom jumps. Sometimes I get one coincidentally when the jump appears. Theres never been cup that I've played were I haven't gotten a mushroom in 1st place. Maybe the odd 1 or 2. You probably don't lead the pack very often then. Tell me how much stars you got on all cups in 150cc. The average.
3:03 the tanooki leaf can work just like a banana or shell if it gets hit without you hitting the button to swipe it.
Two more things:
Firstly, if you get the timing just right you can avoid a blue shell with a mushroom. You must hit the item just before the shell hits and you can speed out of harms way. Granted, i've only been able to do this once on Rainbow Road and one other time on MKWii. Super tricky but possible. (Not sure if it will work in flying sections.)
Secondly, LOCAL MULTIPLAYER. Use this with at least one friend (more is better). In local multiplayer, playing Grand Prix mode counts toward your ranking records. (No Grand Prix option exists for online.) When playing, have one person take first place every time to have them earn the three star ranking. The second person plays as a defender and counters any item hits from the CPUs as well as attack any CPUs who get ahead or catch up to the first player. When a blue shell appears, the second player must take 1st in order to take the shell's hit and keep the first player going.
Wait! What?! Coins make you faster? Omg. I'm at 6,000 vr and didn't know. Smh
I'm not sure if they increase your actual driving speed, but I know they boost you a bit whenever you collect them.
they increase your speed..
why do you think some ww racers leave you behind.
well that and the fact some people are hacking the game due to the lack of skills.
XD I’m at 44,000 vr
What did you thought they did?
No way to dodge a blue shell?
*Mushroom boost intensifies*
A tip for Blue Shells (shaving a bit of time after Blue Shell impact): In courses that you may fall and get picked up by Lakitu, if a Blue Shell is locked on to you and you have no Mushroom or Star, make an "Intentional Fall" as soon as the Blue Shell arrives. You'll get picked up by Lakitu and if you time it just right, you'll get a small boost and return to your top speed immediately.
3:35 "Unfortunately, there is no way to dodge a Blue Shell once it has you in its sights."
Unless you have a Mushroom. You can dodge it at the last moment if you're boosting from a Mushroom. The other boosts (like the drift boost or the track boost) may not work, but the Mushroom boost definitely does. The timing is a bit tight, but you can dodge the Blue Shell.
Thanks for the tips do you know how to unlock the gold kart I have everything else
get either 10000 VR points playing online
or collect 20000 coins
either one of thos
Getting a 3 Star ranking in Mario Kart 7 isn’t as hard as getting one in Mario Kart DS. (In my opinion)
Getting a 3 Star Ranking in Mario Kart Wii is harder
@@leihau ikr
only had my 3ds a few days now, I love it so much. so far in MK7, I have all 3 stars in 50cc, mostly 2 and some 3 in 100cc, and some 1 mostly 2 in 150cc. this game is so fun
Who just randomly got this video in there recommend 10 years later
Still get utterly bullshitted. Just lost because 2 NPC's sped ahead of me at the last moment of the last lap of the last map of the cup. That's happened about 4 fucking times now. Thanks for tip though.
lixerman99 - Games & Music The worst thing is getting hit by a blue shell about a second before passing the finish line.
AreoStar True, but at least the red shell doesn’t stop you completely if you’re close enough to fall over the line. Without a mushroom, a blue shell is basically a guaranteed game over.
AreoStar What? How the hell does a red block a blue?? Same with bananas, etc.
In order to block a blue with a shroom, you must use it in the last few frames of the blue shell crashing down on you
AreoStar ok then
@@jden_224 Pretty much any power-up hitting me right before I cross the finish line is the worst.
Nostalgia
I remember the 3 star ranking for every Grand Prix was SO HARD to do on the DS Mario Kart! It felt so rewarding for the "street cred" online haha those wonderful 3 stars.
My first GameXplain video I hit the sub button because of this guide 6 years ago
FALSE, Here's how to do it, Bump so other people can see
1. Coins don't matter, it doesn't matter if you finish with 10 coins every race
2. It doesn't matter if you are 2nd place for almost the entire race as long as you win in 1st place
3. What you actually need to do is hold onto your items for the first 2 LAPS! PLAY LIKE A GENTLEMAN, don't attack anyone, for example don't shoot your red shells, only use them to protect yourself. Don't throw bananas or bombs, hold onto your items even if you are in 3rd, 4th or any place. NOW. when you get to the FINAL LAP, GO ABSOLUTELY CRAZY, use all your items, play like a maniac. Troll everyone. That's it. 3stars guaranteed even on mirror cups.
Thanks. Appreciate it.
how do you get the mirror mode
undertale sans really? just finish 150cc. and there you have it.
How do you not know that???
undertale sans finnish 150cc
3:21 you can easy a dodge blue shell with a mushroom in just the right time not early or late Just perfect timing.
Taking these tips are pretty important. Helped me conquer grand prix with all gold trophies and three stars within 4 days I downloaded this game. Only tip 5 didn't really make a difference because I have good memory to the point I can actually "mirror" my memory so I play it as if I was familiar rather than "I tried to drift but crashed" or "The place I thought a shortcut lied was actually a wall". Overall, the kart that helped complete it was the standard kart set.
I tried these tips so many times but every time I use them I get put in fourth place and get one star even if I get 3 1st places and one 4th or 3rd place I still get one star like what the hell? Isn't this supposed to be a kids game? why make every thing fucking difficult but good game though lol
It doesn't just have to be kids playing Mario Kart.
Matthew Martinez I think thevgame itself is very easy but the AI is bullcrap
The best way to get 🌟🌟🌟 is by getting 1st on every lap on every race!
hmmmmm acually i got 2 on 2nd lap then 1st on 3rd lap then 1st so i got 3 stars im trying to figure out how its possible
I think they out blue sheals into considerations
No, only the last lap matters, all you need to do is the last lap, also don't fall off more tan once in the entire cup.
Also, don't bump into walls or obstacles, don't fall off the course, score 60 points as your grand total number of points, do as many tricks/tactics as you can, and don't use items to catch up to other players.
the game definitely keeps track of how long you're in 1st place. I got first in all four races ending with 40 points but I still only got 2 gold stars. I wasn't in first place the whole time for some of those races.
4:15 **When u have your 3ds but your friend doesn't**

Once had a two star overall rank, now have a three star overall rank. All thanks to you bud.
I just raced my first mirror track last night. It was Bowser's Castle. I wasn't exactly lost, being able to predict 90% of the lines for the turns. But it had me on the edge of my seat. If you have excellent spatial reasoning abilities, a mirror track is not exactly going to kick your ass.
Or maybe it's just me. I have driven both right and left hand drive cars on both the right and left sides of the road. That is the closest you can get to mirror driving in the real world.
you can dodge blue shells if you use a very well timed mushroom which is an item you can get in 1st place, but it's still unlikley that you'll have one at the right moment.
3:32 Actually, there are some tips you left out. First, I looked at the instruction booklet, and the actual name for "Blue Shell" is "Spiny Shell" Anyway, here's the actual tips:
In 150cc, the AI will not launch the Spiny Shell if you're not in first place
Even if you're in 5th place, the Spiny Shell will still hit you and flip you, because in Mario Kart 7 its flight path travels along the ground.
Thanks to you I'm getting 3 stars on mirror courses. Thanks a thousand for the tips, mate.
Another way to avoid a blue shell is to fall off the track at the exact moment the blue shell would hit. You would only lose 3 coins, and although your items go away, you can't get hit while lakitu is carrying you.
I know I'm pretty late but there is also one thing I've noticed while grinding for stars: point gaps. One time I got three stars while coming second in two races on the 150 flower cup, but when I checked the scoreboard, it turns out the best computer ended up coming last once (as you all know, there are always two specific computers per cup that always seem to come second or third after you throughout each race). So that's probably the case. Let's say Mario comes first each race, but Luigi (the good CPU) made it in second each time. As such, Mario would have 40 points and Luigi would have (I think 32; It's been a while since I've played MK7). That 8-point difference would result in a single star, but this may actually be because of consistent victories. However, let's say Luigi gets hit by a Blue shell and is knocked back a few places, and Metal Mario (that one CPU who is always in last), who happened to have a Bullet Bill at the time, makes it into second, catches up to Mario point-wise, but still lags far ahead due to getting 0 points in at least one race (say he reached 24 points by the results). Such a large gap compared to the 40 points Mario had would likely reach 3 stars, although the gap wouldn't need to be that big. But let's say that during the remaining races Luigi makes it back to around 29 or 30 points. This would probably result in Mario/the player getting 2 stars. So basically what I'm saying is, the bigger the gap between you and 2nd place by the results, the more stars you earn. I'm not saying this is correct in general, neither am I saying you're wrong, especially because taking your information into account also helps when getting stars and, in some sense, 100%ing MK7 (although I'm not sure whether you count all 3 stars on every cup 100% completion as opposed to unlocking all the karts, wheels and gliders), but I'm just laying down something I've noticed, and apparently in almost two paragraphs worth of a comment, so I'll just stop here.
And yes, I'm aware of the ideas that falling off, hitting walls, and staying far ahead in first with 10 coins is also needed, but I've tried many of these out and they didn't really work (except for falling off a few times) but, then how would I have gotten 2nd in a race and still gotten three stars? Still not trying to contradict what you are saying, nor am I trying to start arguments, but in the end, what has happened has happened.
GameXplain is becoming my favorite channel. I find myself HERE every time I'm on youtube!!!
Ok, I used to have: in 50cc mostly 2 star and 3 star, 100cc mostly 1 star and 2 star,
150cc all 1 star and in mirror mode 1 star and 2 star. Thanks to your tips, it worked!
IT WAS WORTH IT!
there is a way to dodge blue shells by using a mushroom just as it attacks you. There are plenty of videos on youtube with this shown and I have pulled it of myself a couple of times. You can use the same technique in mariokart wii, as well as ds and double dash, but I think it is done differently in those two
Not reliable though, since you're not likely to have a mushroom in first place as it won't defend against red/green shells and it's not even a guaranteed way to avoid the hit, since the timing must be so precise.
Jamie Twells It's better than nothing though, and usually worth hanging onto a mushroom if playing against CPU's or in a low skill room
james cooper Maybe, but I disagree, I think green shells/ bananas are better than mushrooms in first place.
In Double dash and DS you have to stop drifting at the same time the blue shell attacks you
In Wii use a mushroom when the blue shell stops spinning.
In 7 and 8(Deluxe) Use the mushroom at the exact time the blue shell chases down on you or in 8(Deluxe) (which is obvious) Use the super horn when it's about to blast you.
To switch to first person view, you press up on the d-pad. In first person view, you can move your kart around using gyroscope controls or the circle pad.
Thank you so much! I had so much trouble , and after watching this video I just did it! I love all of your videos , tutorials and other content! Thank you
If you are on a straight road and a blue shell is launched, you can escape it by shooting a green or red shell behind you before the blue shell gets too close. I have done this before and it has saved me from losing my 1st place rank.
The fact that I got a 3 star rank in special 150cc after watching this proves this works
A good cart combination is good too. Carts with great handling are key in later cups.
There's always that time when you're too far ahead to back off in time, but when you will also re-enter the main pack again if you take the hit.
I am really great at Mario Kart 7 and the other Mario Kart series I have kept trying to get 3 stars in 150cc Flower Cup in Mirror Mode and i keep ending up with 2 stars, but I'll keep trying to get those 3 stars in need!
According to Mariokart 7 Manual, in the Grand Prix instructions, Results Screen section:
"If you finish in the top three, you will receive a trophy. Your driving technique will also be evaluated, with the highest rank being ***."
Later, Driving Technique section, the driving techniques are:
1. Rocket Start
2. Drift
3. Mini Turbo
4. Super Mini Turbo
5. Jump Boost
6. Spin Turn
If you don't know what these are, check the Manual by choosing the Mariokart 7 icon on the HOME menu and pressing Manual.
I knew pretty much all these tips but you guys allowed me to learn how to use them ALOT better thanks guys! ♥️
TIP: in most turns in most courses you can drive over the white/red lined borders for some extra sharp turns
One way to avoid the blue shell that was not mentioned is not very well known to others, but it works wonders, if you have a mushroom and your 1st, save it for a blue shell, at the last second as it comes down use the mushroom. This requires practice and cannot be done just like that. This works because as the shell goes down, it no longer follows you but quickly drops down on a set location as it falls. This set location is a part of the track right under you. So if you boost, you go past it.
I love GameXplain's videos. Very helpful!
I think falling off the track does affect your rank. In the 150cc special cup, I got first place in every race, but I only got 2 stars. I fell a lot on Rosalina's Ice World and Rainbow Road.
Actually, there IS a way to avoid the blue shell in first. If you have a mushroom, you can use it before it hits you. You will miss the explosion therefore avoiding it.
Those tips were very helpful, and I actually got a 3 star rank in mario kart 7. Thank you GAMEXPLAIN 👍😃 your the best.
My tips to you:
1. ) Always slow down RIGHT BEFORE a Blue Shell hits you or once it starts swirling overhead. When you do this the coins you have pop out in front of you allowing you to quickly snatch up 1 or 2 after being hit.
2. ) You can ALWAYS drift/drive on the red/white striped areas on ALL courses!
also stay behind other karts for a few seconds to get a boost and when landing from the glider stay parallel to the ground to keep your speed. also when you crash into an item block press L so you will be able to get your item faster which can help if a red shell is about to hit you.
I have figured it out, i swear, because i have tried this several times on my friends games. In order to get a 3 star rank, u must get 1st in every race, and also get 10 coins on every race. Thumbs up so everyone can see. POSITIVE IT WORKS!!!
tanuki tails can also defend you from shells
I use them normally to defend myself to red shells
Thanks to this guide i can get way far ahead in 150cc and take a hit from a blue shell Andre, Oh, and if you have a mushroom, once the shell is done circulating and it comes down, once it is like a really tiny space away from you, use the mushroom.
You can avoid blue shells with a mushroom. I rarely get a mushroom in first but I dodge them all the time I even taught my 8 year old how to do it. As soon as the shell is about to hit the ground you shoot off the mushroom and the shockwaves is left behind and you go untouched. It takes some calm nerves.
I did not know the coins made you faster. Nice
You can dodge a blue shell by waiting until it falls down on top of you then boost with a mushroom or a star like you said.
Thank you soooo much! After a month of patience, today I bought mk7 ! This video is amazing
mk7 counts the time of each lap with each item you have, counts how long you are in each place, records how many coins you get over an average time slot, you must be at least a banana peel's throw distance away from second place on at least 2/4 races, and you must end the grand prix with all 40 points possible. If you get 2 stars once, it will be harder to get all 3 another time, because it goes by the average of your 1st place races. If you don't get 1st on a race, the best thing to do is quit the grand prix, and restart until you win every race.
I remember coming to the video years ago to as a guide. Andre’s tone has really changed over the years lol
The blue shell's wrath is truely a hell-ish one.
150cc is insane in this game. The AI is so smart that they're immune to Spiny Shells. Also, the special cup is frustrating. It took me forever to unlock Metal Mario. It's the bottomless pit in Rosalina's Ice World that does it. It's easy to mistake for a water section :(
I remember the most irritating cup to 3 star was the Leaf Cup because of Maple Treeway, I loved that track in Mario Kart Wii
it became a DEMON in 7, somehow I managed to 3 star everything and now I'm happy
Only thing I'm missing is the Gold Standard kart part, VR and Coin amount is ridiculous for that
I've done it many times already. There is literally only one moment where it can be done. It has to be perfect though. A good way to master this technique is by listening to the sound the blue shell makes. It helps a lot when trying to avoid it. Of course, you are going to have to do it a few times to know when listening to it will actually be effective.
Well GameXplain. Thanks to you, I only need to win few more cups until I reached 3-star rank. Thanks for the tip!! =D
Speaking of which, I give you a little tip. You can dodge Blue/Spiny Shell using Mushroom. However, the timing needs to be correct.
Also, when you have a banana try throwing it right behind the item box. That usually works for me.
Great tips GX. I recently completed Mirror Lightning Cup to get my 3 star rating, thanks to you. However, it is completely possible to dodge the blue shell in first. Although the chance is quite low, you can receive a single mushroom from an item box. If you see a blue shell, hold on to it. When it comes closer, and it's about to dive down right on you, use the shroom, and you should boost away from the explosion. The timing has to be extremely accurate; I've only done it twice. Thanks again!
I love the second screen,the switch should have one
Sorry, it doesn't.
I totally raged in the 150cc Mirror BS, but I finally beat Rainbow Road after what seemed like 100 tries.
you can actually use a mushroom to boost before a blue shell hits you, once it stops and targets on to you.
That really depends on your skill level. But most of the insanely good people online use parts that minimize handling and maximize speed. So you have to get good at steering with a crap handling rating. Basically speed and acceleration are the most important stats, and off-road is important on certain tracks. Poor handling can be compensated with skill, and weight isn't all that important (plus maximizing speed usually leads to high weight anyway).
Awesome! thanks to tip 4, I am able to get 3 people caught in a blue shell explosion!
Most people probably stumble on SNES and regular rainbow road in that most of those courses lack guard rails. You may also notice is a lot easier to get 3 star rank in mk7 and the ds variant rather than on the wii because basically you have to cross the finish line on a specific time on all courses within a cup to obtain 3 stars.
Actually GameExplain, there is a way you can avoid the blue shell: If you have a mushroom, time it so you'll go just fast enough to avoid the blue shell.
All these tips were spot on. another tip that might factor in is doing them in gyro mode, because when i have, I've been getting stars alot more consistently
Just earned my 3rd profile star. Couldn't have done it without these tips, thanks!
