I go through all the various suggestions and ideas I've received concerning how to improve the JRB chest star, which currently takes 1 A press to collect. For convenience, the suggestions shown in the video are:
00:00 Intro
00:14 #01 Use a dive recover to reach the star.
01:11 #02 Use a chest to help reach the star.
01:48 #03 Use the falling pillar to help reach the star.
02:10 #04 Slide kick to the star from a nearby rock.
02:53 #05 Use VSC to reach the star.
03:31 #06 Use horizontal speed to reach the star.
05:41 #07 Fall to the star from the starting area.
07:11 #08 Use a goomba to bounce into the star.
08:18 #09 Clone the star.
09:52 #10 Clone a goomba to help reach the star.
11:12 #11 Collect the star during the cutscene.

Not surprisingly, all of these ideas end up failing for one reason or another. For some of these, I've shown them or alluded to them in previous videos. For others, I'd been planning on covering them in the next disappointing observations video. However, since there were so many various ideas, I figured it would be simplest to remove them from that video and instead give them their own dedicated video. This video should settle all the current JRB chest star suggestions, and allow me to simply link this video should anyone make these suggestions in the future.
