Honeyhive Galaxy - Trouble on the Tower

Welcome to the Galaxy!
Mario
I got the 1-up on the ledge and talk to the Bee near the start. A rock with the ground pound symbol on it. He says, "That rock just fell from the sky! It was... scary." We go up the slope partway, and find another rock with a ground pound symbol. We pound it and a vine appears. The nearby bee says, "The Sproutle is back! Yay!" We use the vine to go to the left side of the planet, up the hill from the start. We find a Rainbow Star in the green pipe by the tree. The path to the castle is blocked by a honeycomb grate. We sling up to a red switch guarded by Wiggler. Pounding the switch flips Wiggler over (any ground pound will do that) and reveal the path we need to take. We stomp Wiggler for lots of Star Bits.

The path goes to the back on the left side of the planet. We find a wooden switch to reveal steps to a high part of the planet. We wall-jump up to there and find two wooden walls in the water. It doesn't look like there's anything up here, until you notice the shadow of a Launch Star in the water. We wall-jump up the walls and launch. We land on a planet with Piranha Plants and jump down to a nearby planet with Wigglers. We sling into a ? Coin which gives us a Rainbow Star. We jump down the hole at the top of the planet. We land on a planet with a windmill. We pound the switch on the other side of the windmill, which starts the windmill. We have to dodge Mandibugs, which look like ladybugs with clamping jaws. They will try to attack us if we cross their path, so get out of the way quickly. We can also defeat them with a ground pound. Back near the windmill, we drop down to a checkered platform with a Life Shroom, although we really don't need the extra health. We ride the platforms on the windmill to the top, where there are two Mandibugs, stacked on top of each other. The one on top is much smaller. Battle music starts playing. We pound the top one and the large one turns red. If we stand on it, it will panic for a while before it flips us off. We pound the bigger one and it poofs into the Star.

We got the 1-up on the ledge and free the vine to reach the other side of the planet. We sling up and activate two switches, then launch. We sling and get the Rainbow Star from the ? Coin. We jump down the hole and accidentally ran off the windmill area. There is a Sling Star near the Wiggler that will take us back up there. We activate two more switches to start the Windmill and pound the stacked Mandibugs.
Star Get #6, 9 Coins, 597 Star Bits, 41 Lives
