Do you need that stamp to get to Champion Road? If that's the prereq, fuck that.

You need to collect all green stars, all stamps, and get the gold flag for all levels. Can be done with any combination of characaters and in one play-through. Source: Me five-starring the game.

Let's be a little more specific:

By the time you finish World Flower, if you want to access World Crown, you'll have every single stars from every levels up to this point, every golden flags, and you'll have every single stamps available at this point, leaving only 9 left to get after that.

That is correct. It only has to be done with one character per level, though,  and it doesn't have to be the same one for all the levels.

Yeah. It's only for the final 5 stamps that you need to complete every levels with every single characters to get them. Kind of a chore if you ask me. And since the stamps add nothing to the game other than the useless miiverse stuff... Nintendo really needs to work on how to properly reward their hardcore players. 

"hey, here's a useless grind you have to achieve if you want everything in the game. No special ending for you, no new mode, nothing. It's just there for your shallow bragging rights!" So much incentive to achieve this kind of things, it's crazy... -__-
