Starshine Beach Galaxy - Climbing the Cloudy Tower

Welcome Back to the Galaxy!
We land on the same platform as last time and launch to the main planet. We receive word that the Piantas are having a Strongest Pianta Tournament. We see some Piantas making lifting motions. When we approach them, they throw us up high so we can reach things we normally couldn't. The pink Pianta will lift us up into the trees. The yellow one on the hill will throw us to a 1-up. Another Pianta is not participating in the tournament, but decided to open up a Leaf Raft shop. They are available for us to try. We are told by another Pianta that the highest platform can only be accessed from deep water, so we dive in. Coins lead the way to the entrance and we swim upwards and sling to the surface. On the top of the platform is a water blaster and a switch. Said switch activates the water blaster and makes a Cloud Flower appear. The Star is on top of the tall tower, where in the last mission, we found a Silver Star. Now we have a way to reach it! We use the blaster to get off the platform and get the Cloud Flower. But we can't just walk to the tower: the path is covered in water. The Cloud Flower is on a sandbar near the dock where the leaf boats are. We long jump to a leaf boat, and tilt the Wiimote in the direction we want to go. I tried using the Piantas to toss us way up high, but they deactivate the Cloud Suit and only throw you straight up. We go back to get another Cloud Flower and come back to the tower. We climb the clouds circling the tower and jump to land on it. We recharge the Cloud Suit and make cloud stairs to the Star.

Interlude
We land on the base. Did we bring back a Pianta? Lubba says the Cloud Flower looks like fun. It appears by the brim of S.S. Mario's hat. Lubba says we should try to stay grounded. I look around, but don't find anything.
