For hopefully the last time, the opinion that the game is too easy is not based only on speculation. People who have completed the entire game have found the entire game incredibly easy (I'm only at 75 stars in the second playthrough). There is no magic mission they left out that will change their view. Yes, there's a broad range of difficulty in the misssions and that's an awesome plus, but for many, the difficulty starts at hold-your-hand easy and never or rarely gets up to anything that significantly challenges them. Hence, for them, the difficulty in the game is dissapointingly easy. (And you shouldn't have to beat a game to get a better challenge : ( why should someone spend 15-20 hours to unlock something that he would have used in the first place?)
Here's my strategy (Spoiler): For the first stage (handless) just run in circles around him, he can't hit you. During the second stage, do the same thing but also use the starbits he threw out at you after the first stage to shoot the black rocks before he hurls them at you. This will make the bomb ghosts form right next to him, and if you go up next to him and spin attack , the ghosts will be so close they'll almost always strike him rather than the hands. This strategy is totally unnecessary to beat him, but it will make him even easier. If you're repeatedly hitting the hands, didn't you realize you're doing something wrong?
