Cloudy Court Galaxy - Head in the Clouds

Welcome Back to the Galaxy!

This galaxy has the same music as Fluffy Bluff. There are lots of windmills and similar architecture. There are lots of moving platforms. There is a hedge cut like a dinosaur and underneath it is a 1-up. The Cloud Flower retuns. Out over the abyss is a Life Shroom, which I get. I also try to get the ? Coin coins but fall off.

Take 2- I get the 1-up and the Cloud Flower and just move forward. A Whittle says "Cloud wind ride?" and, judging by the proximity of a windmill, we can create a cloud and ride it through the wind, like we did in the bubble. We are taken to a set of purple drums, which are springy. We land on a pair of cymbals, which make noise and have a switch to pound for Star Bits. We launch to a new area.

We reach the midgate and find a hungry Luma who wants 30 coins, but we can't get enough. Nearby is the Bonus Area with Paragoombas, but we fail it. We ride the cloud up from a fan beneath the planet. We take hits from a Paragoomba and green Octoomba and reach the Launch Star. We can see the Bonus Area from here. (If you're in the right area and look, most of the time, you can see the Bonus Area for the galaxy.)

We land near the midgate in another 2D area. We have to dodge red spiky plants. A Whittle says "Go down. Ride wind." We jump down and create a cloud where the air currents are. When we reach the end of the ride, we wall jump up and head to the left, where we use our clouds to get 3-ups on a high ledge. We go right and find two large walls moving together and apart. There are gaps in it and an air current moving upward. We have to time our jumps so we don't get squished. We carefully ascend and find the Comet Medal in one of the gaps. Once we reach the top, we see a tall windmill creating air currents to the left. Immediately to its left is the Star. We must use our clouds to go up, fight the wind and get the Star.

Star Get# 27, 15 Medals, 868 Star Bits, 712 Coins, 19 Lives

Interlude

Luigi appears! He got left behind and had to hustle to get to S.S. Mario. He decided to look for Power Stars, too. He will appear in a galaxy, so if we see him, we should say hi so he can help save the universe. Because if anyone should save the universe, it should be him! Strong words coming from a guy only slightly braver than the Toads. You'll get your turn, Luigi, be patient. But if we want to switch, we can begin Super Luigi Galaxy 2!
