There ARE "collect 100 coins" levels, which are the purple comet levels that only appear after you defeat the final Bowser and return to the game. And some of them will, indeed, make you insane  Some of them have 100 coins scattered throughout a level that you have to find; in others, the coins are right there in your face but you need to collect them and get the resulting star with a short time limit. There's one in particular that I simply cannot for the life of me figure out how to do... |
I got the purple comet level without defeating the final bowser. You access it in the Gateway Galaxy. (along with the Red Star)
I may try the final Bowser tonight, but may wait till I finish the Garden Galaxy.
