~1.The Star Festival~

---------------------------------------------------------------------

------

Every 100 years, a huge comet flies above the skies of the Mushroom

Kingdom. When it does, the citizens of the Mushroom Kingdom run out

to

collect the pieces of Star Bits that rain from the sky, then bring

them

to the Castle where they are reborn into a giant Power Star.


3/132

Such an event is happening this night, and Mario recieves a letter

from

Princess Peach to meet her at the Castle. Mario, naturally, rushed

off to

the Princess's Castle as the festivities were underway, but disaster

struck as Mario neared the Castle...

Bowser and an army of Airships come and tow away Peach's Castle,

dragging

away Peach, and for the matter Mario, with it. Once in deep space,

Mario

is blasted away from the Castle due to Bowser, yet finds himself on a

mysterious observatory after flying through the emptiness of space.

Now he

must traverse many wide galaxies searching for the stolen Power Stars

taken from the Observatory due to Bowser in order to restore its

power, and

allow Mario to rescue Peach from wherever Bowser is holding her.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

~2.Controlling Mario~

---------------------------------------------------------------------

------

Using the Wii Remote and Nunchuk to control Mario may take several

minutes of getting used to, but you will rather like it once you are

accustomed to the controls of the game.

=======

~Items~

=======

Koopa Shell--There are three varieties of Koopa Shells, but they all

function roughly the same. All Koopa Shells can either be grabbedmanually

or be sucked into your arms by using a Spin attack. Shaking the Wii

Remote

will throw them in the direction you are facing (going in a straight

line,

defying gravity if flung in mid-air). You will also swim much faster

when

holding them underwater (they even come with a searchlight when

underwater). There are three colors they come in. Green Koopa Shells

have

no special properties, Red Koopa Shells home in on foes when thrown,

and

Golden Koopa Shells can open golden chests. All Shells can open

regular

treasure chests.

? Coin--These coins will make a mysterious event occur. They can

range from

making another ? Coin appear nearby (which, at the end of the chain,

makes

an event occur). Some make an action occur, others open new paths or

even

create a set of musical notes. If you walk into all of the notes, you

earn

a 1-Up.

1-Up--Grabbing one of these magical green Mushrooms will earn you an

extra

life. Good to earn on those levels where you are going to die about 4

seconds after actually obtaining the 1-Up.

Coin--These are regular golden Coins. Earning one will replenish 1

section

of your health meter. Collecting 100 of them no longer earns you a

Star.

Purple Coin--Purple Coins appear in galaxies that have a Purple Comet

in orbit. Collecting all 100 of them (or 100 of the 150 in several

galaxies) earns you a Star.

Star Bit--These are small little stars that bounce around the ground,

or

are stuck in place. They come in a variety of colors, and appear all

over

each galaxy. Point the cursor at one to collect it, or you can just

walk

into it. Collecting 50 earns you a 1-Up, as well as each 50

thereafter.

You can shoot them at foes, or use them to feed hungry Luma's.

Life Mushroom--These look like typical Mushrooms from previous games.

However, they have yellow stars on top of them. If you collect one,

youwill earn a second health meter, totaling up to 6. However, if your


6/132

health

ever dips below 4, then the second health meter will vanish. Be sure

to

keep your health above 4 to ensure maximum safety.

===========

~Power Ups~===========

Bee Mario--By grabbing a yellow and brown striped Mushroom, you will

become

Bee Mario. Mario now has the capability to fly through the air for a

short

time by holding the A button, but you will stop flying when the Fly

Meter

runs out. The meter replenishes when you land on the ground. Bee

Mario can

also cling to honeycomb walls and walk through honey on the ground at

regular speed. You will revert back to regular Mario if you take any

form

of damage or if you touch water. Bee Mario cannot grab onto items.

Boo Mario--By obtaining a white Mushroom, you will become Boo Mario.

You

take the shape of a Boo, and need to keep pressing A to float in the

air.

By shaking the Wii Remote, you will turn transparent for several

seconds.

You can go through some walls and objects when invisible. You will

revert

to regular Mario by taking any form of damage, or if you touch light.

Ice Mario--By grabbing an Ice Flower, Mario will become covered in

ice and

becomes Ice Mario. Mario can now walk over water by freezing the

surface as

he walks over it, and can also skate over the ice that he forms. Ice

Mario

can even walk over lava. The power will wear off after about 15

seconds, so

make good use of it.

Fire Mario--When you grab a Fire Flower, Mario will don his classic

white

cap and red overalls, becoming Fire Mario. By shaking the Wii Remote,

Mario

will shoot a fireball that can burn enemies and light torches. The

powerupwill wear off after about 15 seconds, so do your business quickly.

Spring Mario--By obtaining a grey Mushroom, Mario will become Spring

Mario.

Mario will now be bouncing around on the ground, and he is quite hard

to

control. By holding A as he hits the ground, Mario will coil up and

spring

high into the air. The powerup will wear off if you take and form of

damage, touch water, or enter a Launch Star.

7/132

---------------------------------------------------------------------

------

Turn on the Wii, push the Super Mario Galaxy disc into it, wait out

the

update if necessary, and let's get started playing one of the

greatest

games ever designed. There are six file slots to choose from, so pickto

start on one of them, choose an icon to represent it, and choose to

"Play

this file".

When the game starts, you will be shown several storybook-esque

screens.

They detail that a comet appears above the Mushroom Kingdom every 100

years. Shooting stars rained from the sky when it appeared, and all

the

Toads brought the stars back to the Castle for form a large Power

Star. It

should be a great festival, but...something is going to happen. Mario

gets

a letter from Peach inviting him to festival to meet with her.

=====================================================================

======

~4A.The Star Festival~

=====================================================================

======

Mario is the last guest to arrive, and now you have full control over

him.

Take some time to get used to controlling Mario. Along the path here

you

will notice falling stars that bounce on the ground. These are Star

Bits.

You can collect them by point the cursor at them. Try to collect as

many

as you can--you'll understand why later.

You can talk to some of the Toads here if you wish, although you can

read

what some of them say just by standing near them. As you round the

top of

the hill you will see a town at the bottom of the valley, with

Peach's

Castle not too far off from it. Run down the hill, collecting the

falling

Star Bits if you desire.

Once you enter the town, another cutscene will play. Airships will

appear

and start to bombard the village. It's quite clear that they belong

to

Bowser. Several of the Airships head straight for the Castle. Bowser

makes

several large UFO's appear, and then you'll regain control of Mario.

The

path to the Castle is pretty simple from here. Just follow the dirt

road.

As far as I can tell, the boulders can't hit Mario, so don't worry

aboutbeing killed in the process of running to Peach.


8/132

Once you make it to the Castle, the large mothership carves the

ground up,

allowing several smaller ships to lift Peach's Castle into the sky--

Mario

in tow with them. Didn't this plan fail already along time ago? Eh.

Whenyou appear high in space, a Magikoopa will blast Mario away from the

Castle

and into the depths of space.

=====================================================================

======

~4A-1.Gateway Galaxy~

=====================================================================

======

You will awake on a distant planet in another galaxy, actually. When

Mario

awakes from the flowerbed, a small Star will be hovering around his

head.

It will turn into a bunny and asks you to catch it. Time for the

first

Star.

========================

Star 1-Grand Star Rescue

Difficulty-*/*****

========================

To start with, all you need to do is follow the white bunny as it

hops

around the planet. As you round the top of it, you will meet up with

two

other bunnies. The white one will ask to play a game of hide-and-seek

now.

If you can catch them all, they will inform you on where you are

right now.

This isn't too tough. The first bunny can be found by jumping into a

nearby

crater. On the other side of the planet, walk near another crate (but

don't

fall in) to reveal the bunny. Chase it around until you touch it, at

which

point Mario will grab it.

You should be near a pipe at this point. Hop onto it. You will

automatically enter the pipe. Once you appear out the other side, the

second bunny will appear. Repeat the process of chasing it andcatching

this one as well. On one area of the planet you can find a patch of

tall

grass, with several green bulbs surrounding it. Walk into the grass

to

reveal the last bunny. Again, run into the bunny to catch it.

Once all of them have been caught, a new structure will appear on the

planet. You will be standing infront it now, so you may as well climb

to

the top of it. Once you do, you will meet up with someone who looks

strikingly similar to Peach. She is actually Rosalina, protector of

thecosmos. She says that in order to save Peach you will need the power


9/132

to

travel through space. She hands you a Luma who will help you. You can

now

perform Spin attacks by shaking the Wii Remote.

You should notice some crystals where Rosalina was just standing. You

canuse the Spin attack to destroy these crystals, as well as enemies.

Destroy

the large one to reveal a Launch Star. Jump into it and shake the Wii

Remote to blast off into space. On the next planet, a Luma will tell

you

that to form the next Launch Star you will need to collect the five

Star

Chips that form it. You also need to do so without falling into the

black

hole. It...well, kills you. Should be simple to figure that out on

your

own.

One Star Chip is inside a crystal right next to the Luma. Head left

from

there to find another Star Chip on a raised grey platform. A third

Star

Chip can be located on the edge of the planet from where you stand.

Now,

head north to a grey pillar with a 1-Up on top. Behind the pillar is

the

fourth Star Chip. You should also get the 1-Up. Never know--you might

get

yourself killed here or sometime later. The final Star Chip can be

found

a bit northwest of here, on a small raised black platform.

Once you have every Star Chip, the Launch Star will be formed. On the

next

planet you can find a trapped Luma at the top. He says that one of

the

Goombas holds the key to the cage. The Goomba holding the key is an

"actual" Goomba, by which I mean it is the standard brown color. The

other

Goombas are slightly yellow in shading. The Luma will transform into

a

Sling Star. These are like Launch Stars, but merely send you to

nearby

planets without launching you into deep space.

The next planet also has a trapped Luma. Remember that you can use

the Spin

attack on most enemies to confuse them. After that, just run into

them to

kill them. They leave Star Bits behind when they do. If you kill

enemies by

jumping on them, they leave behind Coins instead. The key, naturally,

is in

the giant Goomba at the top of the planet. Spin into him and then

walk into

the Goomba to kill it. After grabbing the key, enter the Warp Pipe

where

the Luma was trapped.


10/132

Inside this next room is a bunch of machinery, and a Grand Star. You

need

to go around the room and step on every yellow switch, making it turn

blue.

Be warned that if you step on it again it changes from blue back to

yellow,

so you'll just waste time if you step on a space more than once.There are

four scattered near the moving electric walls. The last 12 are found

infront of the machine itself. Once you have freed the Great Star, go

collect it.

=============================

Star 2-Gateway's Purple Coins

Difficulty-*/*****

=============================

When you get access to the Garden in the Comet Obersvatory, you will

pass

the Gate. Enter it to appear in Gateway Galaxy again. Climb to the

top of

the tower to intiate a cutscene with Rosalina. A red Luma nearby will

challenge you to obtain 100 Purple Coins on the planet, and gives you

access to the Red Star. Grab this to become Flying Mario. Jump into

the

air and Spin while in midair to start flying. You can fly in any

direction--and this isn't like Super Mario 64 flying. Go straight up

if

you wish. You don't need to move up and down to gain height. Awesome!

The planet is so small and highly indescribible that I can't exactly

detail on the location of every Purple Coin. There are thirty in the

air

you need to fly for, and the other 70 rest on the ground or on the

roofs

of houses. No need to rush. It's an easy Star. The Red Star will

appear

where Rosalina was.

~A Hungry Luma appears for beating this Star~

=====================================================================

======

~4B.The Terrace~

=====================================================================

======

After getting the Grand Star, you will fly onto the Comet

Observatory. Onearea of the Observatory will light up, now available to be visited.

This

Observatory is home to Rosalina as well as the Lumas. Normally this

Observatory is flying around, but a mysterious force took all of the

Power

Stars away from it. As it turns out, other galaxies that have Power

Stars

hidden on them can be found on the Observatory. You need to enter the

opened Terrace and search the newly found galaxies for Stars. The

Terrace

can be found to the left of Rosaline, inside the green-roofed

building.

Near the Terrace you can find a Green Launch Star. This has no


11/132

significance

right now, or for a while actually. You need to collect more Grand

Stars

to restore power to the Comet Observatory, allowing you access to

more

galaxies, and therefore, more Stars.

Enter the Terrace. A blue Luma will turn into a Pull Star. With

these,

point at them and press A to have Mario pulled to the Pull Star in a

bubble. The galaxies availble in the Terrace will be shown on the

map. The

amount of Stars required to visit them is listed, and since you have

only

1, your only choice is to choose the Good Egg Galaxy. At least, for

now.

The ??? galaxies will be unlocked as you progress through the game.

Blast

off to the Good Egg Galaxy.

=====================================================================

======

~4B-1.Good Egg Galaxy~

=====================================================================

======

Star Requirements-1

Overall Difficulty-*/*****

The Good Egg Galaxy isn't too challenging, and eases your way into

the way

Super Mario Galaxy works. Blasting off from planet to planet, crazy

gravity

engines, and black holes galore. You'll learn about them all through

this

mostly-basic galaxy. Luckily, none of the Stars are absurdly long or

too

difficult, so Mario veterans and new players alike should perform

fine.

===================

Star 1-Dino Piranha

Difficulty:**/*****

===================

Before you begin each Star, you will be shown to brief cutscene

showing you

the general location of the Star. For this one, it appears to be on a

planet with a giant egg on it. When you land in the galaxy, there areseveral things you can do. You can walk through sparkling pieces of

grass

and flowers for Star Bits, or kill the enemies for Coins or Star

Bits.

Once done with that, locate the stone bridge to the right and walk to

the

underside of the planet. Jump up the stone staircase. At then end of

the

path are several more Star Bits. Head back to the stairs and jump

onto the

ground to the right.

There is a Warp Pipe here. Ignore the green one and jump over thenext path


12/132

to the red one. Take it to an underground room. Walk on the walls

using

the ramps to reach a ? Coin which will make a bunch of musical notes

appear. Touch them all before they disappear for a 1-Up. Every set of

musical notes you encounter from here on, except for one, will yield

a

1-Up. Grab it and use the pipe you used to enter this room, on thebottom

floor.

Back outside, head back left and jump onto the path with a Goomba on

it.

Run up the path to the top of the tower, then talk to the Luma to

form a

Sling Star which propels you into a Launch Star. On this small planet

with

a bunch of rolling boulders, you need to collect five Star Chips. The

first

two can be found to the left and right of the Luma. The third is in

the

path of the center set of rolling boulders. The fourth is on the

opposite

side of the third, and the final Star Chip can be found at the

opposite end

of the planet from where the Luma is. Use the Launch Star when it

appears.

On the top side of the planet you land on next is a Pirhana Plant.

When you

kill this one, a vine forms where it was sitting. Jump onto the vine

and

shake the Wii Remote to climb it quickly. On the next planet with

spike

plants and rolling boulders, make your way around the planet,

standing in

safe zones from the boulders along the way. Be sure not to fall off

into a

black hole! At the end of the path, just past where the boulders

spawn, is

a purple Piranha Plant. Spin into one of the green bulbs to have it

slam

into the plant, killing it and forming a vine.

On the next planet the vine leads to, walk to the topside of the

planet.

Climb the stone structure, killing the foes if you want, and use the

LaunchStar. You will slam into a giant egg on a planet, angering it. It now

starts to slowly lurch towards you. Use the Spin attack on the giant

nut at

the end of its tail to have the nut fly into the air and slam onto

the egg.

The shell falls off, revealing the Dino Piranha. Boss time! Dino

Piranha

will charge at you. Run out of the way and get behind it. Once you

do, you

can Spin the nut at the end of its tail again, damaging the beast.

Now

Dino Piranha rarely stops in short moments, making it slightly harderto


13/132

spin into the nut again. Keep dodging his charges if you are ever

infront

of them, and the second hit shouldn't be too hard. The final hit is

almost

identical to the second one. After you Spin the nut a third time,

Dino

Piranha will be killed, allowing you to pick up the Star.

====================================

Star 2-A Snack of Cosmic Proportions

Difficulty-*/*****

====================================

The intro will show a Hungry Luma. These Lumas ask you to fill them

with a

certain amount of Star Bits so they can transform into something,

generally

a new planet or a Launch Star to reach a planet. The Hungry Luma will

ask

you for 100 Star Bits, so try to acquire such an amount by the time

you

reach it. On the starting planet there are tons of Star Bits. The

rain from

the sky in groups of four constantly, spinning into enemies yeilds

them,

they can be found in grass, and that alone is just the first planet!

If you

stay long enough, you will easily fulfill the 100 requirement on this

planet alone. When ready to leave, head up the path with a stone

staircase.

Talk to the blue Luma at the end. It'll transform into a set of Pull

Stars.

Grab onto them one by one and lead yourself into the Launch Star.

On this small planet, there are some Goombas, a bunch of spiky

plants, and

several crystals that contain more Star Bits once destroyed. The

spiky

plants will give up Star Bits too if you hit spin into a green bulb

and the

bulb hits them. By now you should have filled your 100 Star Bit

quota. Now,

find the Launch Star that's encased in crystal, destroy the crystal,

and

blast off.

You will pass a Launch Star while flying through space. Ignore it for

now.On the next planet are some rolling boulders. Collect more Star Bits

if you

wish, then break the crystal with the Launch Star (don't use the

Sling

Star). Ignore the next Launch Star in space and you will land on a

Yoshi

Egg-like planet. The Hungry Luma is in plain sight at the top of it.

Fill

her with snacky happiness, and she will transform into a new planet.

Use

the newly formed pink Launch Star to blast to it.

Circle around the planet until you find the lowermost ledge. Jumponto it


14/132

and start climbing. Dodge the plants and break boxes for Coins if you

want.

When you see a 1-Up, break a spiky plant using the green bulb, then

Wall

Jump up the walls (do so by jumping at a wall, then pressing A to

jump off

when Mario starts sliding down it). Head left at the top, up a seriesof

stone stairs to the top of the planet. Use the Launch Star.

You will be on a capsule-shaped glass planet. To find the entrance

into the

dome, head to the opposite end of the planet to where some Goombas

are.

Destroy a crystal that has no Coins or Star Bits inside of it to

reveal the

entrance. Hop inside. The gravity in the dome changes depending on

the

way the arrows point. Jump to the right until you reach the red

section

where gravity completely flips. Walk along the ceiling to the right

some

more until the blue gravity area appears again. In the next red area

you

will quickly find regualr blue gravity, and some moving platforms. If

the

platforms push you into the blue area, you will fall down to the

beginning

area of the dome.

Run across the ceiling when the platforms retract. Head right until

you

fall up onto a ledge, then head left (or right for a 1-Up). Jump up

the

ledges to where gravity turns normal. When gravity flips at the end,

you

will land where the Launch Star is. Use it. On this Star-shaped

planet you

can find, well, the Star itself. You need to collect the five Blue

Star

Chips here. It's quite easy. Jump to the one next to where you land,

another two are located to the left and right of you. The fourth and

fifth

are easily spotted on the underside of the planet.

Five Pull Stars now appear around the Star. Stand by one, then grab a

PullStar across from you. In the middle of flight, grab a Pull Star in

the

direction of the Star so you are flung into it, clearing the level.

===================================

Star 3-King Kaliente's Battle Fleet

Difficulty-**/*****

===================================

See the house ahead of where you always start? On top of it is the

Lauch

Star. You can't jump to the top of it, so you must find another path.

Walk

onto the underside of this planet and find the red pipe along theground,


15/132

near some trees with Star Bits on them. Enter the pipe and complete

the

underground area. Walk on the walls to the red pipe at the other end,

getting the 1-Up from the notes if you want to along the way. You

appear on

the roof I mentioned earlier. Use the Launch Star.

When you land on the peanut-shaped planet, free the nearby Toad.

Turns out

the spiky plants also hate coconuts. The coconuts are lying near one

plant, and that plant reveals a Sling Star when destroyed. Do so and

use

it. On the next planet you will find more coconuts and spiky plants.

What

you are interested here in is the Pokey at one end of the planet. Use

a

coconut and fling it into him. When his head falls onto the ground,

stomp

on it to kill the Pokey, revealing a Launch Star. Promptly use it.

You will land on a Sling Star on a meteor with two Chain Chomps on

it. Use

the Warp Pipe at the other end instead. Grab the ? Coin to make a

Rainbow

Star appear. Grabbing it turns you into Rainbow Mario briefly, making

you

invincible. Running into foes killes them, and makes them explode

into many

Star Bits. You can also exit the Warp Pipe and use them on the Chain

Chomps

for even more Star Bits. use the Sling Star once you have had your

fun.

On this next planet are a bunch of electric walls. Don't hit them.

Find

openings through the electric fences (or just jump over them) to the

other

side of the planet. A building here is launching Chain Chomps, as

well as

Bullet Bills. If a Bullet Bill sees you, it will follow you until it

crashes into something. You can't kill it. Jump to the top of the

structure

using the stairs and break the crystal, revealing a Launch Star.

You now land on an Airship. Head forwards towards where a bridge

should

lead to the adjacent Airship, and two creatures appear out ofbarrels. They

shoot coconuts at you, so Spin into them to knock them back to the

creatures. Once they both have been killed, the bridge lowers. You

can find

the Launch Star at the stern of the Airship, up the stairs several

enemies

are guarding.

On the final planet, you will learn a useful fact. See the yellow

lights on

the ground? If you shoot a Star Bit at it, it turns into a Coin. Use

these

in sticky situations! Walk to the opposite side of the planet. KingKaliente will appear out of the lava pool. Stay on the edge of it,


16/132

and

dodge the flaming rocks it shoots. When it spits a coconut, Spin into

it to

shoot it back at King Kaliente.

You need to repeat this process two more times. However, in

subsequenthits, King Kaliente will knock the coconut back at you, forcing you

to play

a little tennis game before the coconut strikes him. After three

hits, King

Kaliente will sink into the lava, allowing you to collect the Star.

Speedy Comet Star 4-Dino Piranha Speed Run

Difficulty-**/*****

==========================================

When the Speedy Comet arrives, you will be playing the first Star

again.

You only have four minutes, so there is NO time to screw around!

Quickly

run to the underside of this planet and climb the smooth wall of the

tower

to the Launch Star. Talk to the Luma first to make a Sling Star that

allows

you to reach it. On the next planet, you need to collect five Star

Chips.

Three of them are in pretty plain sight from where you land near the

Luma,

and the other two can be found on the Chain Chomp's path on the other

side

of the planet. Once you have quickly obtained them all, enter the

Launch

Star.

On this planet, kill the Piranha Plant closest to you to make a vine

appear

that leads to the next planet above. On this one, quickly run along

the

only path of the planet, dodging the Chain Chomps and the numerous

pits

into a black hole along the way. At the end, smack a green bulb into

the

purple Piranha Plant to make a vine appear. Use it to reach another

planet. Climb the ledges to the top of the structure and Spin attack

the

glass, revealing a Launch Star.

You will land a the domain of Dino Piranha. The fight is the same as

last

time, only with a time limit going on. Defeat him by smacking the nut

on

the end of his tail a total of four times. Once you have done this

(be sure

to dodge his charging attacks along the way!) he will hand over a

Star.

Purple Comet Star 5-Purple Coin Omelet

Difficulty-*/*****======================================


17/132

This should be the first "real" Purple Coin challenge. You can only

do this

after beating the final boss. 100 Purple Coins are scattered around

the

level. If you collect them all, a Star will appear. Let's get to it.

Now

for something about Purple Coins. They are always out in the open.You will

never need to defeat an enemy for them or pretty much commit suicide

to

earn them. Some may be hidden in crates, but nothing worse than that.

On the planet you land on, collect the fifteen Purple Coins (15/100).

Once

you have done that, break the crystal containing the Launch Star. Use

it.

You will collect 10 Purple Coins in midair. When you reach a Launch

Star in

space, use it. You will soar through another 10 Purple Coins, then

land on

the Yoshi Egg planet. Grab another 5 Purple Coins, then use the

Launch Star

here (45/100).

You will collect another 10 Purple Coins in flight. When you pass

through

the Launch Star in space, use it as well. You will earn another 10

Purple

Coins and land on a planet with boulders rolling around on it. From

where

you land, collect the 15 Purple Coins on the simple path laid out for

you.

Break open the crystal at the end to reveal a Launch Star, then use

it

(80/100).

You will collect another 10 Purple Coins inflight, and be headed

straight

for the Yoshi Egg planet. Before reaching it, use the Launch Star in

space.

You will pass through the last 10 Purple Coins (100/100).

The Star will appear right where you land. Isn't that great? Too bad

they

aren't all that easy.

===============================Secret Star 6-Luigi on the Roof

Difficulty-*/*****

===============================

You can earn this Star when you have obtained a letter from Luigi

saying

that he found a Star and can't get back home. The picture shows him

on top

of the house in the beginning of the Good Egg Galaxy. Choose the

first

Star, Dino Piranha.

Walk to the underside of the planet. Inbetween two trees that have

severalStar Bits on their branches is a red Warp Pipe you need to use. In


18/132

the

underground area, grab the ? Coin and music notes if you wish, then

travel

down the red Warp Pipe at the end. You will appear on the room of the

house from the beginning. Talk to Luigi and he will hand over the

Star.

Star Requirements-3

Overal Difficulty-**/*****

This is the galaxy where you will obtain your first transformation

costume.

Honeyhive Galaxy isn't focused on blasting from planet to planet so

much as

it is focused on just one central area. You'll still go planet to

planet

in some Stars, but most of them take place in the main area of the

galaxy.

=============================

Star 1-Bee Mario Takes Flight

Difficulty-**/*****

=============================

Welcome to the Honeyhive Kingdom! This relaxing area is ruled by the

Bee

Queen. No, she won't become possessed or anything. Just a regular

happy-go-

lucky galaxy. Follow the dirt path to the right from where you land.

Head

right at the fork, towards a ? Coin. Touching this will make a Bee

Mushroom

appear nearby. Walk off the cliff to the left and you will land near

it.

Grab the Mushroom.

You will now become Bee Mario. As a bee, you now have the ability to

fly

for a short time. Hold A to fly, or keep tapping it in air to sustain

your

altitude. The Fly Meter will decrease as you fly, and refills when

you

land. You turn back t normal Mario if you take any form of damage, orif

you hit water. Fly up to the ledge that the nearby bee tells you to.

Walk

behind the waterfall and fly up to the next ledge above you. At the

end of

this tunnel you will find a tree stump. Jump into it and you will

land on

a short hill. Slide to the bottom.

Fly up to the ledge next to the bee at the bottom. See those flowers?

You

can only walk on them if you are wearing the Bee costume. Otherwise,

theydisappear if you try standing on them. Make your way up the next few


19/132

ledges. Avoid walking on the honey--it just slows you down. At the

end of

the path is a Launch Star.

On this next planet, there is a pond of water along with some enemies

on

the land bordering it. Jump across the lily pads, making your wayright and

to a platform with a flower with a long stem, and a bee. Grab onto

the stem

and shake the Wii Remote to swing from it, flinging yourself to a

higher

up flower. There are water jets up here, so avoiding touching them as

you

fly from flower to flower. At the highest and largest flower, fly

into the

air to reach another Launch Star.

You will land at the bottom of the Bee Queen's castle. There are a

bunch of

honeycombs on the wall. As Bee Mario, you can cling to the

honeycombs. Use

this ability to scale the wall. You will need to fly off and land on

another section of honeycombs several times when you reach dead ends.

At

the top, jump onto the grey ledge. Kill the Piranha Plant to make a

vine

form. Use it to reach the Bee Queen.

She says that she is suffering from something very itchy. Well, now

we have

to help her. Fly onto the Bee Queen. You can stick to her just like

you can

to honey. There are five Star Chips hidden by her coated jacket. They

are

pretty easy to see since stars hover around their locations. Once you

have

all five, a Launch Star appears behind the Bee Queen. Use it.

You will land at the top of a large tree in the main area of the

galaxy.

Talk to the leader of the Toad Brigade, the one wearing the mining

light.

Turns out they found a Power Star. Well, that was easy. Go grab it.

===========================

Star 2-Trouble on the TowerDifficulty-**/*****

===========================

Head right again when you enter the galaxy. There are several stone

blocks

that have appeared due to some recent activity. Ground Pound them to

destroy them. The first one will reveal several Star Bits. The next

one

further up the road reveals a vine. Grab onto it and swing yourself

on to

a ledge further on ahead. You will land on another block. Destroy

this one

to reveal a trampoline. Ground Pound it so you are sent high enough

toreach the ? Block.


20/132

Head behind the large tree. Ground Pound this block for more Star

Bits. A

little farther ahead are two more blocks. After collecting the Star

Bits

from these, use the trampoline to reach a Sling Star, blasting you

onto aledge very close by. Up on a tree stump here is a red switch and a

Wiggler.

Ground Pound Wiggler's to stun them, then jump on their underside

(don't

just stomp on them. I'm sure you know why!). Now Ground Pound the

switch to

make a bridge form. Ground Pound the brown switch ahead to lower the

walls,

allowing you to climb them.

You'll need to perform several Wall Jumps to reach the top. Once

there,

follow the path around the pond to where two wooden planks are close

enough

to allow some Wall Jumps. At the top you can find and use a Launch

Star.

Make your way to the underside of the planet you land on, killing any

Piranha Plants in the way. On the underside, you will be close to

another

planet. Jump to be pulled by the gravity to the next planet. At the

bottom

of this planet (avoiding or killing the Wiggler's in the way) is a

Sling

Star.

Grab the ? Coin on this next planet to have a Rainbow Star appear.

Use it

to smash all of the foes here into oblivion. Jump into the wooden

stump at

the top, and you will then fall onto the tower that was shown in the

intro

to this Star. Walk left and get onto the swing. Propel yourself onto

the

left to the other side. Go for the lower one first. When you see the

first

purple bug, fall down the checkerboard tiled floor below. Grab the

Life

Mushroom here. Your health meter is now 6! To kill the bugs, stand on

their

backs to calm them, then Ground Pound them. Near where you fell ontothis

platform is a trampoline. Use it to reach the previous upper ledge.

Kill the bug up here, then follow the path to where you can Wall Jump

up

the brown wall. Head left, past another bug, and to a red switch.

Ground

Pound it to make the windmill start spinning. Hop onto one of the

ledges

the windmill provides and ride it to the top. There are two bugs up

here--

a large one and a baby one riding on top. Jump onto the baby one and

GroundPound it. The mother bug gets upset and will charge at you at a quick


21/132

pace.

After killing her too in the same manner, grab the Star.

=======================

Star 3-Big Bad Bugaboom

Difficulty-**/*****

=======================Well, the purple Mandibugs are back for revenge. Follow the path to

the

right as usual, dodging or killing any Mandibugs that get in the way.

Follow the path right again at the split, back to where you got the ?

Coin

back in the first Star. A water bubble launcher is stationed here.

Jump

onto the block infront of the blue launcher so a bubble hits Mario,

sending

him to a ledge across the gap.

Jump onto the tree stump here and avoid the Mandibug to obtain a Life

Mushroom. Grab the pole to the left and slide down it to the bottom.

There

are a bunch of Mandibugs here around the tree. Kill them for Star

Bits if

you wish. Grab the Bee Mushroom, then head down the Warp Pipe located

not

far from the Mushroom. You will appear near three water launchers.

Avoid

them all, then fly onto the ledge they are near. Go behind the

waterfall

and fly into the tunnel. Jump over the three Mandibugs and the Bee

Queen

will talk to you, asking for help. She makes a Launch Star appear

ahead,

so go use it.

You will land near a flower and another Bee Mushroom if needed. Grab

onto

the flower and swing from it to get enough height to reach the next

platform that also has a flower. Also use it to get enough height to

reach

the main platform of this area.

When you land, a giant green Mandibug will appear. You have the

Ground

Pound his back like every other Mandibug. To get enough height to

reach

him, use one of the flowers as he slowly charges around the tree.After the

first Ground Pound, he starts to fly around the tree, dropping bombs

along

the way. If you ever get hit and lose the Bee outfit, another Bee

Mushroom

is waiting near the edge of the platform. Just don't get killed

trying to

reach it. Once you Ground Pound the Mandibug again, it will turn red

and

starts to fly around the tree tilted on its side, flying quite fast.

The

last Ground Pound needs to be quite accurate to kill him. The Star

willappear near the Bee Mushroom.

Cosmic Comet Star 4-Honeyhive Cosmic Mario Race

Difficulty-***/*****

===============================================In Cosmic Comet missions, you will race a Shadow Mario-esque figure

to a

Star on at the end of a predetermined course. It isn't too hard as

long as

you follow the giant arrow signs and don't mess up any jumps.

Start off by following the path straight. When the path splits off,

choose

to go right and up the hill. Head towards the waterfall. When you get

close

to it, perform a Long Jump to try and land inside the tunnel. You

won't

make it, so you need to Spin right before hitting the ledge to get a

little

extra distance. You should grab the ledge and just barely be ahead of

Shadow Mario. Long Jump through the tunnel and head for the tree

stump.

Fall down the stump and onto the slide. At the end, Backwards

Somersault

onto the brown block, then do it again to reach the upper ledge. You

now

need to pass through several platforms along the wall to reach the

Star at

the end of the course. Stay out of the honey because it will slow you

down.

The Shadow Mario will slow down a bit here, allowing you to catch up

(which

is something you probably have to do at this point). Pass up your

shadow

and claim the Star before he does.

================================================

Purple Comet Star 5-The Honeyhive's Purple Coins


================================================

Hopefully, this Star won't utterly annoy you to death. Collect the

easy 10

Purple Coins when you land on the ground. From where you land, look

left.Just over the fence is a tiny ledge with a single Purple Coin. This

one is

most easily missed. Now start following the path to the right. At the

spot

where the boulders fall off the galaxy is a Purple Coin. Backflip to

reach

it. Continue along the path to see a grey boulder on the ground near

where

the path splits. Pound it to make a vine appear. We'll be using that

later (12/100).

For now, continue straight and grab onto the swing above you. Gain

somemomentum by pushing left and right on the control stick in good


23/132

rhythm to

get the high Purple Coin here. Head right. There should be a ledge

near

the vine. Get onto the ledge and get the Purple Coin. Fall off the

other

side and get another. Follow the short cliff ledge to where you can

WallJump for several more Purple Coins. The top ledge has two more Purple

Coins (23/100).

Jump off the ledge and to where the boulders are spawned. A pond is

nearby.

Grab the five Purple Coins around it. Near the pond, and the ledge

where

you can jump to the waterfall, should be a huge stack of grey blocks.

Ground Pound through all of them. A Purple Coin will be revealed.

Triple

Jump up to the ledge with the waterfall. Collect the two Purple Coins

here.

Head down the Warp Pipe right near them. Follow the ledges along the

edge

of the tree, collecting all of the Purple Coins. Don't fall here!

Make your

way back once you hit the dead end (40/100).

Go back to where the Warp Pipe led. Fall off the cliff ledge. Get the

two

Purple Coins, then head down the Warp Pipe. Now, fall of the cliff

ledge

you appear on, then use the vine you made appear earlier. When you

land on

a grey boulder, look left. Slide down the edge of the tree back to

where

you started the galaxy, collecting the three Purple Coins on the edge

of

the tree. Make your way back to the vine and to the grey boulder.

Ground

Pound the boulder and use the trampoline to boost yourself into

another

Purple Coin. You need to land on the brick block, then Backflip into

the

coin (46/100).

Near the vine are three more Purple Coins. Don't fall trying to get

them!

Now take the path around the giant tree to earn five more Purple

Coins. Youwill be near a brown ramp on the edge of the area. Walk up it slowly

(one

mistep and you're food for a black hole) and collect the five Purple

Coins.

You will end up in a small stump with a red switch and a Wiggler.

Ground

Pound the switch. Go across the bridge, then Ground Pound the brown

switch.

Make your way up the wall now, collecting four more Purple Coins

(63/100).

Look on the left cliff egde now. See a Purple Coin up there? Triple

Jumpup to it. Once you are up there, the camera should turn and zoom out,


24/132

revealing some brick blocks far below the cliff edge. Walk off to

fall onto

them. Don't worry--it's prefectly safe. Both brick blocks have a

Purple

Coin.Now fall to the tunnel with the tree stump. Before hopping in,

go down

the tunnel and collect three Purple Coins. Hop down the stump now.Collect

the five Purple Coins on the slide. Keep jumping to slow your descent

so

you can grab them easily. Enter the Warp Pipe at the bottom (74/100).

Now you need to make your way back to that area. Go around the big

tree and

up the brown cliff edge to where the red switch was. Before going on,

jump

into the pool of water next to the switch for a Purple Coin. Behind a

small

spire near the pond are two more Purple Coins. Now follow this ledge

to

where you can easily overlook the vine. It is there you can find

three more

Purple Coins. Now go across the bridge made by the red switch, Wall

Jump

to the top, and keep going forward (80/100).

Go around the pond and collect the three Purple Coins. Jump onto the

cliff

edge and get another Purple Coin. Now jump onto the cliff ledge

opposite

the previous one. At the edge are three more Purple Coins. Now use

the

nearby wooden planks to Wall Jump to the top of them. You should have

90

Purple Coins now. Jump back onto the cliff ledge that had only one

Purple

Coin. The camera should zoom out to view a ledge below with some more

Purple Coins. Fall all the way down to it. There are five more Purple

Coins

here. Use the fountain to reach the high Purple Coin (95/100).

Head to the bottom left corner of this ledge. Backflip onto a higher

ledge.

This ledge goes behind the waterfall. The last five Purple Coins are

here

(100/100).

The Star will now appear. Fall down to the pool of water the

waterfall

drains into, then jump down to the right. Follow the path back to

where you

started to earn the Star. Try not to get killed on the way there!

more blue switches.

When the path is clear of electric fields, keep hitting the blue

switches

on the top side of the planet. A purple enemy will be shooting

shockwave

fields at you. Be sure to jump over them carefully! When you reach

the

right edge of the planet, you will be at the entrance to the last

side of

it. Dodge the electric fields and hit the last four switches here,

You will land near the Launch Star on this small planet, but it is

encased

in glass. To break it, you need a Bullet Bill. Head south to the

Bullet

Bill cannon. Wait for a Bullet Bill to start following you, then run

behindthe glass casing of the Launch Star. If done right, the Bullet Bill

will

crash, revealing the Launch Star. Use it to reach the moon ahead.

Bowser Jr. will appear, but doesn't stick around long. He sics his

Megaleg

robot on you. And damn, that is one big robot. How do we destroy this

thing? Wait for the legs to slam onto the moon. There are ramps on

them,

so jump on to either leg and run up it. Megaleg will become aware of

your

presence and a security system will begin to attack you. First, dodge

the

three Bullet Bills fired at you. Jump over their cannons and leap

across

the spinning cogs up ahead. Run up the next ramp to be at the top of

the

robot.

Get one of the Bullet Bills to ram into the metal grating surrounding

the

Grand Star. However, another security gate will be placed around the

Grand

Star, this one split into 8 pieces and moving clockwise. Get a Bullet

of

comets that can appear in any given galaxy are predetermined, but

when they

appear from after 13 Stars is random (except for Purple Comets which

Star 1-Pull Star Path

Difficulty-**/*****

=====================

As you can tell, you will be making large use of the Pull Stars here.

Start

off by grabbing the first Pull Star above the planet you are on.

Shake the

Wii Remote to get out of the bubble, landing now on the next planet.

There

is a Pull Star pathway on the other end of the planet. The path is 8

Pull

Stars long, and you will land on a glass dome planet next to others

just

like it (you can't land on the L-Block planet along the way. Haha).

You will land on the first Star Chip hopefully. Jump to the left dome

and

collect the second and third Star Chips right next to each other. Now

jump

to the last glass dome to the right. The fourth Star Chip is sitting

at thetop of the planet, while fifth one is circling around it. Once you

have all

five, the Launch Star will appear.

You will land on a rocket-shaped planet. Grab the Pull Star planet

and land

on it. Repeat this until you land on the third Pull Star planet, at

which

point you will find another Pull Star path. Head through all 13 Pull

Stars

with relative ease. On the T-shaped planet you land on, walk to the

top of

it, destroying any spiders in the way, to find the Toad Brigadetrapped in


29/132

crystals. Free all of them and the captain will appear on his

Starshroom

ship. Jump onto the ship (its gravity will pull you onto it) and talk

to

the captain. He says he found the Power Star and offers a Sling Star

shortcut to it, found at the top of the ship.

You will land in an area full of space junk. Where are all the

platforms?

Walk towards the top ledge and...ah, that's it. All this space junk

will

form platforms for you. There are five Silver Stars here. Collecting

them

all will form a real Star. Start off by heading straight, then left

onto

the green blocks to find the first Silver Star. Head back right, then

keep

going right and up some stairs to the second Silver Star. Back at the

split, head north this time. Head left at the next split to reach the

third

Silver Star.

Jump across the gap to the north. The fourth Silver Star is atop a

purple

block. Head all the way back to the split, this time heading right.

You

will end up on a brown platform. Jump straight ahead to have the red

triangle platforms form a solid platform. Now just jump right and

into the

fifth Silver Star. The real Star appears now. Jump back left and down

onto

the brown platform. Head south to the split. Head due south from the

split

to reach the starting platform where the Star is held.

===============================

Star 2-Kamella's Airship Attack

Difficulty-**/*****

===============================

Airships? Hell yeah! Jump from the yellow ship to the red Shroomship

and

talk to the captain. The rest of the Toad Brigade boarded the

Airships, but

none have returned. Use the Launch Star next to him to board the

Airships

yourself.

On the first Airship, there are several Goombas you can opt to kill.

There

is also a ? Block on the stern of the ship. Look at the blue level

right

next to the raised wooden bridge. Spin into the front of it to lower

the

bridge, allowing access to the platforms ahead. Two bunnies are here,

and

they say you should try the jump and spin technique. Use it to reach

the

platform on the left for a 1-Up (or just Long Jump). Break the crate

to the

right to make a Sling Star appear.


30/132

On the next Airship, jump onto the green valve near where you land.

Spin on

it to make it rise, that way you can hit the ? Block. Free both

members of

the Toad Brigade after that. Now, see the Koopa Shell? Pick it up.

Shake

the Wii Remote to fling it. Only thrown Koopa Shells can opentreasure

chests. Open both chests if you want, then grab another Koopa Shell

and

head for the chest on the stern. Dodge the Magikoopa and open the

chest to

reveal a Launch Star.

From the platform you land on another Airship, jump to the tilting

platform

on the left. Make a Long Jump towards the smokestack and grab the

Pull

Star. Jump into the smokestack. There are a ton of Star Bits down

here. Use

the Sling Star to reach the deck again. There are two chests on this

deck.

Use the Koopa Shells to break them open. The chest on the right holds

a

Life Mushroom, and I advise you grab it.

There are two enemies on the opposing Airship that are spitting fiery

rocks

at you. Throw a Koopa Shell at both of them to kill them off,

lowering the

bridge they are guarding. Use the Sling Star on the opposite side and

get

ready for another boss fight.

Kamella will appear and starts casting spells at you. She will send

either

fireballs at you, which I advise dodging, or she will make a Koopa

Shell

appear on the floor. When the Koopa Shell appears, pick it up and

throw it

at Kamella. Now Kamella will start floating around in erratic

patterns,

making it a bit harder to aim your Koopa Shells at her. She also

summons

two fireballs at once. When hit again, Kamella will summon two

Magikoopas

to aid her. I advise killing them first so their attacks don'tdistract

you. After one more Koopa Shell hit, Kamella will hand over the Star.

Star 3-Tarantox's Tangled Web

Jump onto the red Starshroom ship and talk to the Toad Brigade

again. Another one of his crew members went missing, and you need to

find

him. Use the Pull Star to pull yourself onto the crystal-like planet.

Nowuse the Pull Star path from before. When you reach the L-Block this


31/132

time,

you will be going left instead of right. You will end up on a glass

domed

planet. Find the hole in the planet that is the entrance.

Head straight, then take a right. Head right again, then left, and

one moreleft to reach the Launch Star. Use it to blast off onto a far away

planet.

Walk down the path, killing the spiders in the way, until you see a

Toad

stuck to a sticky Sling Pod. Pull on the Sling Pod and aim him at the

Sling Pod on the planet not far from you. Afterwards, hop in the

Sling Pod

and repeat the process for yourself. On the next planet, sling the

Toad to

the rocket-shaped planet.

There is a Life Shroom on the roof of the rocket. Be sure to grab it!

At

the tail end of the rocket is another Sling Pod. Get in and fling

yourself

to the L-Block shaped meteor. Defeat the spiders here if you wish,

then get

inside another Sling Pod. Fling yourself through the giant spider

web-like

planet.

There is a giant cocoon nesting in the center of the planet. Get in

one of

the Sling Pods strung on the web and shoot yourself through the giant

cocoon. The giant Tarantox isn't happy. It begins by shooting acid at

you.

Run in the opposite direction and get behind Tarantox, facing its

large,

glowing butt. Hop into a Sling Pod and rocket through the glowing

butt.

This will stun Tarantox. He flips over, so get into a Sling Pod and

shoot

yourself through one of the flashing red weak points on the stomach.

Destroy all three quickly before he recovers.

Tarantox isn't going to take it nice anymore. He now spits acid out

of his

side orbs. Stay in the center of two jet streams if you get trapped

and

wait until he stops the attack before you keep going. His is largeglowing

butt again, and repeat the process of hitting his weak points via the

Sling Pods. Tarantox will be thrown into space after this, and the

Star

will be revealed. Use a Sling Pod to obtain it.

Speedy Comet Star 4-Pull Star Path Speed Run


============================================

Performing this Star in only four minutes actually isn't all thatbad. But,


32/132

if you rush, you are likely to get yourself killed. Be sure to take

it slow

in the harder areas. Use the Pull Star at the beginning to reach the

next

planet. Then use the long Pull Star path to reach the glass dome

planets

ahead.

Once you land there, you need to collect the five Star Chips. The

first is

on the planet you land on. There are two additional Star Chips on the

other

two glass domes. Once you have all five of the Star Chips, don't

hesitate

to use the Launch Star. When you land on the rocket-shaped planet,

you need

to use the Pull Stars in other nearby planets. When you land on the

third

Pull Star planet, you can actually use a Pull Star path afterwards.

At the

end of the long path, run straight past the spiders and up the side

of the

metal object.

Free all of the Toads up here to make the Starshroom land. Jump onto

it

and walk to the top, then use the Sling Star to reach the area with a

bunch of space junk. You must collect the five Silver Stars quickly.

Head

straight, and at the split go left to get a Silver Star. Back at the

split,

head right for a Silver Star. Then go straight at the split. At the

next

split, go left. At the first left here you can get a Silver Star,

then you

can get another by going straight. Back at the split, go right.

Continue

along the path to find the last Silver Star.

Jump back onto the main group of platforms from there, and then take

every

southern route from every split path. You'll reach the Star in no

time.

=========================================

Purple Comet Star 5-Purple Coin Spacewalk

Difficulty-**/*****=========================================

When the Purple Comet arrives, you know you're in trouble. This is

one of

the few Purple Coin challenges that is timed. You have 2 minutes to

collect

all 100 Purple Coins. That sounds daunting, but all of them are in

groups

of 10. That doesn't mean you can take your time, though. Head

straight at

first, right into the first group of 10 Purple Coins. Jump across the

gap

ahead and take a right, into the second group of 10 Purple Coins. Now

headleft, and into the third group of 10 Purple Coins (30/100).


33/132

Head left a bit, and then north into a group of 10 Purple Coins. Keep

heading right, now. Jump over a gap to reach the fifth set of 10

Purple

Coins. Head right some more and into the sixth set of 10 Purple Coins

(60/100).

Head north. You want to go for the righternmost set of 10 Purple

Coins. You

will end up on a platform with them. Head back south, a bit to the

left,

and then north again. You will end up at the eighth set of 10 Purple

Coins.

Head left and into the ninth set of 10 Purple Coins. Head left a

little

more, jump over the big gap, and onto the platform with the last set

of 10

Purple Coins (100/100).

The Star appears back where you started. Follow the path south, east,

then

south again. When no platforms appear, Long Jump and land on the ones

that

do in the distance. Head left and south some more. Keep finding the

southernmost route and you will make it back to the beginning

platform.

The Star will be waiting for you.

===========================================

Secret Star 6-Yoshi's Unexpected Appearence

Difficulty-*/*****

===========================================

You will need to choose the third Star, Tarantox's Tangled Web. There

is a

Hungry Luma in the level, and you need 50 Star Bits to make her

transform.

Be sure to have 50 by that point. At the start, use the Pull Star

path from

the red Starshroom. The planet you land on has several enemies and a

bunch

of Star Bits that you can obtain. Do so. After that, use the Pull

Star

path again.

The glass planet you land on has the Hungry Luma. Get some more Star

Bits

from the crystals on the planet, and if you still need more, go intothe

planet and Spin into enemies for the last few. Also, under the glass

planet, if you find a circle of eight rocks, perform a Spin attack in

the

center of them to turn all the rocks into Star Bits. That'll prove

useful.

The Luma will transform into a new planet shaped like...Yoshi? Cool.

Use

the Launch Star to land on the new planet. Now, all you have to do is

kill

all of the Goombas to earn the Star. The odd camera angles can make

thisa big difficult at times. I advise you just stomp on them all--it is


34/132

far

faster and easier than trying to Spin all 20-some Goombas. Once you

have

mercilessly killed all of the Goombas, the Star will appear.

=====================================================================

Stars Required-12

Overall Difficulty-**/*****

Most of Battlerock's Stars are quite enjoyable, and they aren't too

terribly hard to obtain. You'll probably love this galaxy, as well as

the

music to it too.

=========================

Star 1-Battlerock Barrage

Difficulty-**/*****

=========================

You will land on a small platform, near five other platforms that are

quite similar. It should be quickly obvious you need to collect five

Star

Chips on these platforms. The first one is in plain sight, circling

right

infront of you. The next platform has a ? Coin that makes a group of

10

coins appear for a short period of time. The next platform over has

another Blue Star Chip. The platform after that has four small yellow

Topman, as well as the third Blue Star Chip.

The platform to the left has the fourth Blue Star Chip on the bottom

of it.

The final platform of the bunch has an easy to obtain Blue Star Chip

as

well. Several Pull Stars will be formed above the final platform,

leading

to a Launch Star. This will launch you to another pair of platforms.

Get

on the upper side of the one you land on and use the purple

trampoline

enemy to jump onto the higher platform. At the top of this platform,

get

on top of the blue screw and perform a Spin attack.

This will make the platform move. Dodge the oncoming barrage ofcannon

blasts, and when you reach a yellow wall, be sure to walk to the

underside

of the platform so you aren't knocked off. Switch from top, bottom,

top,

bottom in order to avoid the incoming electrical fields that you will

pass.

After the tall electric fences, you will either need to jump over the

short electric lines, or just stand on the opposite side of the

platform

to avoid them. At the end, jump onto the platform with the Star.

But...it is encased in glass. Jump onto the last platform, th eonewith a


35/132

bunch of glass cases. At the end, get a Bullet Bill to follow you

after

being fired from the cannon. All you need to do is lead it back to

the case

with the Star. Once you break it open, grab it.

===================================Star 2-Breaking into the Battlerock


===================================

This time when you land on the same set of six platforms, you don't

need

Star Chips. Instead, the Launch Star is encased in glass. Luckily,

there

are Bob-ombs here that you can use. Grab a Bob-omb and run across the

two

platforms and throw it at the glass. Wait for it to explode and you

can use

the Launch Star. You can also grab more Star Bits if you wish.

There's an

infinite supply of Bob-ombs, so don't fret about missing.

You will land on a three-pronged planet. There is an encased Luma on

the

red corner, a Rainbow Star encased on the yellow corner, a ton of

Chain

Chomps rolling arond, and a Bob-omb resting on the green corner. I'd

say

get the Rainbow Star first so that you can collect a ton of Star Bits

by

bashing the Chain Chomps. After that, destroy the case with the Luma.

It

will transform into a Sling Star. Use it to be blasted into a Launch

Star,

then use that as well.

You will land in a giant Pull Star minefield. Stick to the right side

at

first. There is a Life Mushroom you can grab on your way to the

Launch

Star, which is at the top left corner. If you hit a mine, you will

fall,

but you can quickly grab back on to a Pull Star if you are quick.

Take your

time, but dying isn't too bad since the 1-Up here is easily obtained.

Use

the Launch Star when you come to it.

You will land at the location the intro showcased. You can't hit the

red

switch yet, so opt to go down the nearby pipe instead. A Luma is

trapped

inside an oversized Star Bit. When you get into this area, a cannon

is

encased in glass. Use a nearby Bob-omb (who is an actual Bob-omb that

moves) to destroy the glass. In the cannon, aim for the giant blue

Star

Bit and fire away. At the top of the room you will need to destroy

another

cannon glass casing. Use the Bob-ombs again to do so, and then fireyourself into the Launch Star and get out of this room.


36/132

You will land on another planet in the distance. Take a Bob-omb and

run for

the other end of the planet. Ignore the encased 1-Up and go for the

encased

cannon. Once you have revealed the cannon, hop inside. You can see

theStar, but all of those platforms are circling around it. Wait for an

opening, then fire. If you timed it well, the Star will be yours.

=====================================

Star 3-Topmaniac and the Topman Tribe


=====================================

There is only a set of three platforms now. The second platform

houses a

mole. To defeat it, stand far back enough so it appears, then Ground

Pound

to stun it. Spin into it or jump to finish him off. The third

platform has

a ? Coin which makes some Star Bits appear. Near the mole on this

platform,

use the Pull Stars to reach another platform above you. There is a

Sling

Star here another platform not far away. It will begin moving through

a

short minefield. Move around and dodge the mines. On the last

platform,

use the Launch Star.

There is a red Topman on the next planetoid you land on. If it hits

you,

you will be pushed back slightly. They don't cause direct damage, but

jumping on the spike on its head isn't advised. Grab the Life

Mushroom on

the platform that moves up and down, then Spin attack the Topman.

Keep

doing this until you push it into the electrical field. The freed

Luma will

transform into a Launch Star.

You will land on a set of four platforms. Break the box furthest from

where

you land to reveal a Warp Pipe. Head down it. In this next area, Spin

next

to the green arrow to reverse gravity. Dodge the fire bar and hit the

?Block if you want. Keep heading right, across the platforms moving up

and

down, until you reach a part with some lava. Get onto the green

platform

above and run across the circling block, hitting the ? Coin to make

some

Star Bits appear along the way. At the end of the tunnel, Spin the

arrow

to reverse gravity again.

Start making your way to the left now. Wait for the platforms to

retract

back into the ceiling before going on, because they will push you towhere


37/132

the gravity pulls downwards and you'll have to repeat the processing

of

getting back here again. At the left end is a giant moving platform

with

several safe area just barely missing the gravity in the opposite

direction. Wait there until the platform retracts. When you reach the

farleft end, fall up the gap. Start head right, now. Avoid standing on

the red

machinery! It slams into the ground, instantly killing you if you are

smashed with it. Use the purple trampoline at the end to reach the

Warp

Pipe.

Use the purple trampoline enemy to reach a Sling Star in the air.

This

places you on an automatic elevator, and you will lower into the

depths of

the Battlerock. There are two Topmen here. Spin both of them into the

electrical fields to open the door. This will lead you to a Launch

Star.

You will appear on a distant planet with many electrical fields.

Dodge them

all and make your way to the opposite side of the planet. There is a

Luma

Shop right below the final platforms. You can buy either a 1-Up or a

Life

Mushroom for 30 Star Bits. Buy one if you wish, then climb to the

center

platform.

Topmaniac will fly in, and the boss fight begins. Jump on the

flashing

yellow button on Topmaniac to make him retract his spikes for a short

period of time. Now, Spin him into the electrical fields. Repeat this

process a second time, and then two Topmen join to aid Topmaniac.

Kill

them if you wish, then stomp on Topmaniac and Spin him into an

electrical

field one last time. The Star will finally be revealed.

================================================

Daredevil Comet Star 4-Topmaniac's Daredevil Run

Difficulty-**/*****

================================================

You will need to do the Topmaniac boss battle without taking a single

pointof damage. Get to the actual boss arena calmly. There's nothing

hindering

you, so don't hit the electric fences. When you actually begin the

battle,

just don't hit the electric fences or Topmaniac's spikes. Since he

hardly

moves, that shouldn't be much of a problem. The first two hits should

go

easily since the yellow Topmen hardly do anything to you and

Topmaniac

won't be aggressive. On the final hit, kill off the two red Topmen

first

since they can actually pose a threat.


38/132

As for Topmaniac, he is still the same for the last hit. Once he has

hit

the electric fence three times, this Daredevil Star is yours. As a

note,

Topmaniac jumps back to the center of the stage after he hits the

electric

wall. If he lands on you, you take damage (which, obviously, killsyou).

It happened to my friend once so it's best to be warned now.

==================================================

Purple Comet Star 6-Purple Coins on the Battlerock

Difficulty-****/*****

==================================================

Total. Freaking. Hell. You will land on the moving platform, all 100

Coins

along the path on the side of the Battlerock. This Star, if you miss

a

Purple Coin, you are screwed. That's how annoying it is. From the

start,

you go through a trail of Purple Coins. You go through about 25

Purple

Coins before the platform goes under a wall. Walk to the side of the

platform to avoid it, and pick up some Purple Coins. Now there will

be a

long trail of Purple Coins leading to the underside, and a Life

Mushroom

(50/100).

The Purple Coins lead over electric walls. You need to do a Backflip

to

reach them. If you are too close, you will just fly over the highest

Purple Coin. Damnit, you will lose here so many times because of

that.

Hopefully not since I warned you, but still. Then you have to do that

a

second time. The Purple Coins go back under the platform, and the

last 10

or so Purple Coins are above the platform. If you actually collected

them

all, go collect your Star. If you made it to the end and you missed

some

Purple Coins, talk to the robot. He'll kill you. Yeah. What a guy!

=======================================

Secret Star 7-Battlerock's Garbage Dump

Difficulty-***/*****=======================================

You need to choose the second Star, Breaking into the Battlerock.

There is

a Hungry Luma on the second planet that requires 30 Star Bits to

transform

into the area with the Secret Star. Use the Bob-ombs to earn a ton of

Star

Bits on the first few platforms before using the Launch Star on the

last

one. You can easily earn all 30 Star Bits on these platforms at the

beginning. Don't forget to check the undersides!.

In the area where you land, the Hungry Luma is in the yellow area.You can


39/132

get a Rainbow Star here and destroy the Chain Chomps if you are still

low

on Star Bits. Feed 30 of the little things to the Hungry Luma and she

will

transform. Use the
