Bouldergeist's Daredevil run is a good contender, but I was thinking more of either Purple Coins in the Bone Pen, or either of the two Stars you get for blowing up the garbage in the Dreadnought..

My vote goes to the second trash-destroying star. Honestly, it's almost as hard as the average Sunshine level. Eeuugh.

Well, there are embedded coins to show you where to throw all of them... (but, yeah, it is still pretty tough)

As for SMS, now that game was too hard in some places.

Sometimes I wonder if there's a huge gap in reality between me and the rest of this community in terms of Mario game difficulty...

Sunshine wasn't that hard, just... tedious.  Not that it didn't have a couple of hard stars (the giant plinko/pinball board with the red coins, the toxic river where you had to ride the leaf and steer it with FLUDD into the red coins)...

Amen to the toxic river level in particular. If that had been in 64, simply making it to the island with Yoshi would've earned you a star.

The Bone Pen and hidden Dreadnought star both just take up time and require luck. Not really difficult. If anything, the Luigi's Purple Coins star is the hardest SMG star.

I actually prefer to do the toxic river shine without the leaf, as I find it easier to go back and collect the coins.

I was actually thinking of making a video of getting to the island with Yoshi by hovering.

The Bone Pen and hidden Dreadnought star both just take up time and require luck. Not really difficult. If anything, the Luigi's Purple Coins star is the hardest SMG star.

I disagree with this statement. The Bone Pen Purple Coin star requires you to gather 100 Purple Coins and the star in a minute. This means that you must collect more than 1 coin per second while using Pull Stars. If you think strategically and get the hang of the Pull Star physics, you will find out that the star isn't luck based at all and only requires quick thinking.

I believe that the Sea Slide Galaxy's Purple Coin star is the most time consuming star in the entire game because all of the Purple Coins are scattered across the entire galaxy, and the galaxy is very big.

Back on topic:

I would like Super Mario Galaxy 2 to be harder because I thought the first one was too easy.

The Mario series is the best! It has every genre in video games but RTS'! It also has a plumber who does different roles, a princess, and a lot of odd creatures who don't seem to poop!

Bone Pen wasn't hard for me, I beat it on my first try randomly clicking Pull Stars.  Luigi's Purple Coins , and definitely the Bouldergeist run, were genuinely hard, but my votes for hardest are the Dreadnought trash dump and Rolling Gizmo Galaxy objectives.

I'm also with Kimimaru on the Sea Slide one.  I say, SMG2 should be time-consuming because of difficulty, not boring, long but not particularly hard challenges.  And if Luigi returns, the 121st star objective should be a painfully long and hard level making use of both Bros. and multiple powerups, not another Grand Finale Galaxy-esque objective.
If she is indeed genetically mutated such that she has an eye in the back of her head, then I guess that she is genetically mutated and has an eye in the back of her head.

Yes, that would be a great addition! I think adding in Yoshi would make this idea even better.

making use of both Bros.

Would you be suggesting a swap-in feature here?

The addition of Toad would make this a.. stellar idea.

Yeah, I totally went there!

Indeed.  And @Kimimaru, Yoshi would indeed make it even better.
