Starshine Beach Galaxy - Surf, Sand, and Silver Stars

Welcome Back to the Galaxy!
I was going to nickname this Delfino Galaxy, but after checking it out, it looks nothing like Isle Delfino. It does remind me of Beach Bowl Galaxy. Tropical music plays. It somewhat sounds like a remix of the trailer theme and another song from Galaxy 2. We land on a platform above a platform on a ball of water. We dive into the water (which sports a similar underwater style to Beach Bowl) and launch to the main planet.
Here we meet more Piantas. All of them are male and have the same voice as in Sunshine. One of them has seen Silver Star that magically appeared over night. We get Yoshi, who can eat and spit out the crabs on the planet, just like Spinies. We take a hit from a Spiny, and use it to break open a cage for a Silver Star on the hill. A green Pianta draws our attention to the Silver Star on the tower. We move into deep water, where Yoshi slowly doggy paddles. We smash another cage with a crab to release a Blimp Fruit. We use it to get a 1-up and the 2nd Silver Star. We find a green pipe and get 2 1-up and some coins from the dice. The 3rd Silver Star is by the water striders. The 4th is over a floating gourd-like structure. We stand on its side to rotate its top up, revealing a pink, springy surface. This takes some time. There is a Dash Pepper that lets Yoshi run on water. We don't need it right now. At this point, I noticed that I hadn't seen the Comet Medal yet. I ditched Yoshi, because he can't dive underwater, and dove into the deepest part of the planet. (I didn't realize that there was a safer back entrance.) There are hermit crabs, Bloopers, and eels underwater. The Comet Medal is between the 2 eels in the cavern with the back entrance. The tallest platform on the planet extends into the depths, and contains a water blaster. We get Yoshi back and use the Swing Flowers to get the last Silver Star over the Pianta statue. The Silver Stars combine to form a Star (not a Shine), which lands near the yellow Pianta.
