Super Mario Galaxy 2

Super Mario Galaxy 2 is a platforming video game developed by Nintendo for the Wii. It was first announced at E3 2009, and is the sequel to Super Mario Galaxy. It was released in North America on May 23, 2010. The game's levels are galaxies filled with minor planets and worlds. While its gameplay is based on that of its predecessor, the game was updated with gravity effects and new power-ups. It is the fourth original 3D platformer in the Mario series, after Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario Galaxy.

Uncheck ALL sound options in the HLE DSP plugin (change "Audio Backend" to "OpenAL") then turn the volume to 1%. Play the entire board where the grand star is for each level this way and you will pass easily onto the next world. Then save, change the sound back to normal - and you're good to go until the next grand star at which time you will repeat this process.
