The last puzzle piece I found was the "guide 2 sequential goomba-things through piranha-plant hell" one in the last world. It was annoying. I ended up painfully synchronising all of the piranha-plants so that I could just tap rewind constantly and guide as many goombas as I liked through. It took about 10 minutes to get them lined up.
Yeah, that's how I did it too. I think that I got so frustrated that I ended up checking out a walkthrough. I hate the puzzles that involve perfect timing rather than puzzle-solving.

World 1 was awesome, apart from it not making sense. How does stepping on a dead goomba revive it?
World 1 is initially occuring in reverse; what you perceive as you stepping on the goomba and reviving it is actually you jumping off the goomba after killing it.

The epilogue was odd, but satisfying. I'm assuming that the secret stars will put text in the blank books, but I'm not sure. I guess there's only one way to find out…
Not... exactly. For the record, it's actually impossible to get one of the stars if you've already completed the game with all the puzzles made up.
