Good Egg Galaxy - Dino Piranha

Welcome to the Galaxy!
Mario
We land in Good Egg Galaxy, the first major galaxy we'll visit. The Good Egg Galaxy music plays. We land on a disc-shaped planet with a house that has an orange pipe on the roof. If we go through the pipe, we enter a special area with new music. There is a ? coins that creates music notes that play the underground theme when you collect them. If we collect them all, we get a 1-up. On the other side of the special area is another orange pipe that takes us to the other side of the planet. We can also reach the other side by walking. It's darker on this side. There is a stone wall leading up to a Luma. He says, "My friends are you ahead. Hurry!" He transforms into a Sling Star and we sling to a planet with boulders, mud, and Launch Star Chips. Two are close to us, two are in the middle, and one is on the far end of the planet. Time getting the Star Chips carefully to avoid a boulder hitting you. Try to stay out of the mud, as it will severely slow you down.

We launch to a small planet with a Piranha Plant and a ? coin. We kill the Piranha Plant to make a vine to the next planet appear. The next planet has several boulders. There are two ways to go here, and both will get us a 1-up: we can either continue forward on the planet we're on, or kill the Piranha Plant in the green pipe to access a secret area. The planet has sling plants, which we can use to destroy boulders and Chomps. The secret area requires us to clear several sets of flipswitches while Bubble Breeze Galaxy music plays. Either way, we end up on another small planet, where we notice footprints in the sand, but can't see who created them. If we follow them, approach the source, and spin, (which isn't easy), we will make a blue sack enemy visible. It will release 20 Star Bits. Further on, we see several blue Octoombas on stone steps that move. There is a Launch Star at the top. Behind the tower is a 1-up. I died from the Octoombas.

Take 2- We free the Launch Star at the top of the tower from the crystal and launch to the next planet. We land on a large egg and crack it. Its tail appears and it starts moving. The Ghostly Galaxy music (an underground remix) plays. We approach the tail and spin into it. The tail flings out, then slings into the egg, cracking it completely. It's head is revealed to be that of a large Piranha Plant with petals. The battle music plays. All we have to do is spin his tail a few more times, making him lose petals and change colors. He turns red, then purple when he loses all of his petals. He wails in pain and poofs into a Star.

We land back in the Terrace, where Polari has something to tell us: "Those things are Star Bits. To Lumas, they are the tastiest, most delectable treats imaginable. Aim your Wiimote at the screen and point your cursor at them to pick them up. Once you have some, shoot them by aiming with the cursor and pressing [B]. Why don't we try it out? Aim at me and feed me some Star Bits." We shoot some Star Bits at him until he continues, "Let's call those little morsels my fee for this lesson. You can also shoot them at enemies or feed them to a hungry Luma. Either way, I am sure Star Bits will be a big help on your adventure."
Now that we know what Star Bits are for, let's get more Stars!

Luigi
We land on the planet with the house and walk to the other side, up the ramp, and backflip and spin to the Launch Star. We dodge boulders and get the Launch Star Chips. After launching, we kill Piranha Plants for vines. This takes us up to a grassy planet with lots of boulders rolling around. We use a sling plant to kill a large purple Piranha Plant for a vine to the next area, where we find a 1-up behind the tower the Octoombas are standing on. We launch to Dino Piranha's planet, land on his egg, and crack it. We know the drill: spin the tail to slam it into his head. Do this 4 times for victory.
