Gold Leaf Galaxy - When It Rains, It Pours

Welcome to the Galaxy!
Mario
There are some new wooden structures and rain clouds in the galaxy. The ? Coin over a cloud gives us a 1-up. We need to cross over the clouds to make progress, so we get a Bee Suit by the Piranha Plants at the top of the swing. We use a bloom to reach the top of a cloud. We must not go under the rain clouds, as we'll lose the Bee Suit to the water. We use the clouds to reach the new wooden platforms, crawling with Mandibugs.
We swing to cloud tops and find a panicking bee, who says, "Oh, nno! What will we do?! A mean mole took over our observation deck!" We swing to the large tower near where we started. There are moving rain clouds here that form, move around the tower, then disappear. Their path is made visible in the damp sand. We have to dodge the rain clouds in the alcoves in the tower. Once we make our way around, we see ledges so we can reach the top of the rain clouds, if our timing is good. Once on the cloud, we have to duck into a higher alcove to dodge the rain cloud above us. We make it to the other side of the tower where a ? Coin makes Star Bits that point us in the right direction. We spring up to another ledge and pound a rock for a vine.
It takes us to the top of the observation deck. There is a Monty Mole in a water blaster. The Major Burrows music plays. There are patches of grass moving over spikes. There's a switch in the back that raises platforms so we can reach the water blaster and pound it three times. The bubbles of water won't hurt you, but will push you backward (unless you run into something or spin) and make you lose your Bee Suit. It can be very difficult to reach the Monty Mole when there's water rapidly firing at you, but the platforms raised by the switch help. On my first take, I died from the spikes. I got him the second time. The tower explodes and the Monty Mole flies away. The Star is in the blaster's place.

We get the ? Coin 1-up and the Bee Suit. We take the clouds to the wooden platform and reach the tower. After riding the cloud, we pound the rock and take the vine to the top of the observation deck. The battle starts. We still have the Bee Suit at this point, so we use it to fly over and reach the water blaster and get in two hits. Unfortunately, we lost the suit, so we used the switch's platforms for the third hit.
