Welcome Back to the Galaxy!
We return to Tall Trunk, but a few things have changed. The music changes to that in Wild Glide before you start gliding. There are also swings hanging from the branches. The Whittles have interesting things to tell us: they are brave and protect this tree, they show courage by sliding and get a Star, the tree is sacred, we must swing hard. Two give us some very important news: a "Green Stache" got nervous and ran away. This means Weegee was here! (Luigi-that's what Baby Mario calls his younger brother.) This can also mean that the Whittles are working for Bowser-only he calls Luigi "Green Stache" and, formerly, "Greenie". I get 3-ups- 1 from the crystal and 2 from the Bonus Area. We use the swings to climb up the tree to the Launch Star and take off.
We land on a flat, grassy, fenced in planet with a midgate and more Whittles. "Slide. Never quit." "Be brave. Jump in." "Sharp red things. No touch." "We watch slide." We move to the start of the slide. There is no music here, only the sound of wind rushing by. Well, there's nothing else to do but tackle the slide. We jump in!
The music is a remix of the music used in all of the Super Mario 64 slides. But this is no ordinary slide- Mario is standing the entire time! There are also enemies along the slide-Spinies, Wigglers, and red spiky plants. I take hits from all 3, but there are coins along the slide so we can recover health. We get a 1-up, but we fell off the slide. Steering is not that easy- the slide loops upside down and to the side. In places, it goes into a mossy tunnel, where the desirable path is worn away to dirt.
Take 2- I got a 1-up, hit the Spinies twice and fell off near the red wigglers because I couldn't recover. This slide is not very forgiving.
Take 3- I fell off early trying to get Star Bits without actually steering.
Take 4- I took several hits and fell from a bad jump.
Take 5- I took many hits and fell off near the end-I couldn't recover.
Take 6- I took a hit from a Red Wiggler, which makes train whistle noises, and couldn't recover.
Take 7- I took many hits, but I made it to the end! We land on a fenced in planet with another tall tree. Behind the tree from where we land, there is a 1-up. The Whittles judge us very brave, the bravery symbol, the Star is ours. Here is the symbol of courage!
Star Get#26, 819 Star Bits, 681 Coins, 13 Lives
Interlude
We land on the base, so we brought someone back with us. Lubba says we brought back a Whittle-(not Luigi?) Lubba likes Whittles and this one has something to tell us about Comet Medals. The Whittle says if we collect many medals, a Comet arrives. There is always a Medal the 1st time in a galaxy. Look hard for them. Find.
